Testo completoI argue that these divergent outcomes in the Palestinian territories and El Salvador reflect the differential effects that foreign assistance has on civil society after more or less inclusive political settlements. I find that in cases like the Palestinian territories, where the political settlement excludes important socio-political groups, foreign donor assistance is less likely to contribute to the strengthening of civil society or the deepening of democracy. Rather, foreign donor assistance to civil society is more likely to exacerbate political polarization and weaken civil society by further privileging those select groups already favored by the terms of the non-inclusive settlement. Conversely, after more inclusive political settlements like in El Salvador, foreign donor assistance can play a more constructive role in developing civil society and contributing to the deepening of democracy by encouraging grassroots organization, and expanding access to political institutions that engage the state.

Testo completoThe observation of communication processes around a sub regional West African organization (the "Communaute economique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest") reveals that interculturality is not a characteristic of better educated Africans or of those most exposed to foreign cultures, and even less of Whites or of other members of dominant groups. Rather, it is more pronounced among women, members of marginalized ethnic groups and, above all, among urban marginals. Interculturality manifests itself through interactions. It is the result of singular positions (standpoints) rooted in endogenous knowledges, in training (in its broadest sense) and in the experience of subordination in pluriethnic contexts.
The texts that inform the dominant definitions of situations create a communicational and intercultural handicap, also linked to a superior status in the informal hierarchy. On the opposite, the mobility of an insider-outsider position confers an advantage, an aptitude for conversation, or for an egalitarian exchange in various local and imported spaces of culture and power. Such a position is a condition for intercultural studies and practices. Individually, it can be developed through a formal or informal initiation, empathy and an awareness of one's own limits.
In development programs, the interculturality acquired by certain members of marginal groups is at the origin of processes of diversion--a reorientation of resources towards locally negotiated ends--which reveal the endogenous conceptions of participation and social change. The study of interculturality in Africa thus supports the idea that a communicational approach to intercultural problems could be fruitfully applied in other contexts.

Testo completoENGLISH SUMMARY: This sociolinguistic study examines selected aspects of the linguistic behavior of a rural language community in South Africa. The general aims are to establish first, whether this "coloured" community in the historically Afrikaans town of Beaufort West is still predominantly Afrikaans, second, whether there is evidence of language shift in the community, specifically following more use of English in other formerly Afrikaans communities after the change of government in 1994, and third, what the nature of such language shift may be. An overview of pertinent aspects of the social and political history of South Africa generally and of Beaufort West specifically, is presented in order to contextualise the language dispensation – past and present – addressed in this study. History reveals that the town in question was first named Hooyvlakte and only later acquired the name of Beaufort West. Hooyvlakte is currently the name of one of the suburbs in which a section of Beaufort West's "coloured" community resides. For the purpose of this study the larger Beaufort West community which is in focus here, is also referred to as the Hooyvlakte community The study is mainly of a qualitative nature. The respondents were 184 members of the Hooyvlakte community, they included individuals of both genders and were aged between 16 and 87 years. The only requirement for participation in this study was that the respondent should have been a Beaufort West resident for at least 15 years. Each respondent completed a questionnaire from which his/her language proficiency, language use and language preference could be assessed. The questionnaire also allowed respondents an opportunity to express their opinion on the value and practice of multilingualism in their community. The results of this study indicate that the Hooyvlakte community remains predominantly Afrikaans. There is, however, an increase in the knowledge and use of English, and despite possible limits in actual English proficiency, the residents in the Hooyvlakte mostly view themselves as balanced Afrikaans-English bilinguals. This view is related to the gradual change in linguistic identity, from an almost exclusively (often stigmatized) Afrikaans identity to a (mostly proud) Afrikaans-English bilingual one. The stigmatized "coloured" and Afrikaans identities appear to be products of South Africa's sociopolitical history of ethnic and cultural categorisation and segregation. Stigma, on the one hand, and exclusion, on the other, have led to a desire in the Hooyvlakte community to associate with a language other than Afrikaans as well. This shift to an Afrikaans-English bilingual identity contrasts with the shift from predominantly Afrikaans monolingualism to virtual monolingualism in English found in other Coloured communities studied in the Western Cape's and Eastern Cape's metropoles (see Anthonissen and George 2003; Farmer 2009; Fortuin 2009).
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie sosiolinguistiese studie ondersoek geselekteerde aspekte van die talige gedrag van 'n landelike taalgemeenskap in Suid Afrika. Die algemene doelstellings van die studie is eerstens, om vas te stel of die "bruin" gemeenskap in die histories Afrikaanse dorp Beaufort- Wes steeds hoofsaaklik Afrikaans is, tweedens, of daar aanduidings is van taalverskuiwing, spesifiek een wat neig na 'n toenemende gebruik van Engels, soos gevind is in ander histories Afrikaanse gemeenskappe na die regeringsverandering in1994, en derdens, wat die aard van so 'n taalverskuiwing sou wees. 'n Oorsig word gegee oor beduidende aspekte van die sosiale en politieke geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika in die algemeen, en meer spesifiek van Beaufort-Wes, om die huidige en voormalige taalsituasie soos dit in hierdie studie aan die orde kom, te kontekstualiseer. Geskiedkundige verslae wys daarop dat die dorp eers die naam Hooyvlakte gehad het voor dit verander is na Beaufort-Wes. Hooyvlakte is tans die naam van een van die dorp se woonbuurte waar 'n gedeelte van Beaufort-Wes se "bruin" gemeenskap woonagtig is. In hierdie studie benoem "Hooyvlakte" die "bruin" gemeenskap van die hele dorp. Dit is in húlle wat hierdie tesis geïnteresseerd is. Die studie is hoofsaaklik kwalitatief van aard. Die respondente was 184 lede van die Hooyvlakte gemeenskap, en deelnemers het individue van beide geslagte tussen die ouderdomme van 16 en 87 jaar ingesluit. Die enigste vereiste vir deelname aan die studie was dat informante reeds 15 jaar in Beaufort-Wes woonagtig moes wees. Elke informant het 'n vraelys voltooi op grond waarvan sy/haar taalvaardigheid, taalgebruik en taalvoorkeur vasgestel kon word. Die vraelys het ook die informante geleentheid gegee om hul mening te lug oor die waarde en gebruik van veeltaligheid in hul gemeenskap. Die bevindinge van die studie toon aan dat die Hooyvlakte gemeenskap steeds hoofsaaklik Afrikaans is. Daar is egter 'n toename in hul kennis en gebruik van Engels, en ten spyte van moontlike beperkinge in hul Engelse taalvaardigheid wat formele toetse sou kon uitwys, beskou deelnemers hulself steeds as gebalanseerde tweetalige sprekers van Afrikaans en Engels. Hierdie siening hou verband met 'n verskuiwing in talige identiteit, van 'n oorwegend eksklusiewe (meestal gestigmatiseerde) Afrikaanse identiteit na 'n (grootliks trotse) Afrikaans en Engels tweetalige identiteit. Die gestigmatiseerde Bruin en Afrikaanse identiteite blyk neweprodukte te wees van die (etniese en kulturele) klassifiseringsgebruike uit die vorige Suid-Afrikaanse sosio-politiese bestel. Stigma, enersyds, en uitsluiting, andersyds, het 'n begeerte in die Hooyvlakte gemeenskap laat ontstaan, om te assosieer met 'n ander taal benewens Afrikaans. Hierdie verskuiwing na 'n tweetalige Afrikaans-Engelse identiteit kontrasteer met die verskuiwing van hoofsaaklik Afrikaanse taalidentiteit na feitlik uitsluitlik eentalig Engelse identiteit, wat onlangs in "bruin" gemeenskappe elders waargeneem en opgeteken is (vgl. Anthonissen en George 2003; Farmer 2009; Fortuin 2009).

Testo completoA qualitative research study of women's micro credit groups based in Cairo's Abdeen and Imbeba neighbourhoods was used in order to address women's experiences. In the literature reviewed on micro credit and micro finance, international development paradigms for women, and the socio-economic context in Cairo served to identify important influences. Women's sources of power based in the household were used to develop a conceptual framework. Women's triple roles in production, reproduction and community managing, women's practical and strategic gender needs, and theories of women's empowerment formed the principal elements.
Findings were based on interviews and observation with 69 project participants, including 54 women borrowers, of which 11 interviewed women agreed to a second interview, and 4 key staff members of the Group Guaranteed Lending and Savings program. Numerous assumptions regarding the role of micro credit in the lives of low-income women are reported and analyzed. An exploration of women's experiences reveals that, social issues in micro credit are as important, perhaps even more so, than the economic concerns of the projects. Only through building a more complete picture of women's lives can micro credit programs achieve their objective: to contribute to greater gender equity in society.

Testo completoThe social and economic structures in western societies are changing and with them are the political values of their citizens. This study investigates the nature of post-materialist value orientations in the United States and West Germany. The research aimed at determining whether the indicators that Ronald Inglehart developed almost twenty years ago for explaining valueâ shifts are reliable tools to predict the nature of post-materialist values. These factors are: rising levels of education, a distinct cohort experience, and increased levels of economic security.With the help of mass-survey data from 1974 and 1980 that were collected in the United States and west Germany it was shown that there are other factors that are more powerful for predicting post-material values than the ones specified in Inglehartâ s theory. Moreover, the predictors are of a different explanatory power in the two countries under consideration. A preliminary attempt was made to find the reasons for the phenomenon of national differences.

It emerged in the 1970s, spread in the countries of the South and proved to be, in a few decades, an instrument of development. This dissertation highlights his limits and his drawbacks, without denying some of its success. In Chad, in some cases, it has produced perverse effects and led to debt. This study is a pluridisciplinary field work, which aligns financial and socio-cultural approaches. Our research has shown, among others, how and at what level is situated the intervention of microfinance to the poor. In that process, we analyzed the obstacles and specified the conditions required so that this type of tool could be effective, the informal sector and social solidarity and economy etc. restore the social ties as they are effective for combating exclusion

Testo completoDeveloping countries have to introduce sustainability in the construction industry, especially in the residential buildings to solve their issues according to the Agenda 21 for Sustainable Construction in Developing Countries (2002). West Bank, Palestine, is a part of a developing country and a special case, suffering from occupation since 1967, and is in need for an urgent sustainable construction application. Therefore, the goal of this master thesis is to contribute to a better understanding about the concept of social sustainability in the residential building because it is the most important component of the sustainable housing. In order to pursue this goal, a framework to assess the societal performance of West Bank’s residential building is proposed. Assessing the sustainability in buildings is constantly evolving and differ from place to place. Because of that, the framework presented in this master thesis is above all, based on the sustainability indicators of international sustainability assessment methods (Code for Homes, LEED for Homes and SB Tool) and their applicability in the Palestinian context. As a next step this preliminary list of indicators was validated through interviews with professionals in the field. The next step was to rank each societal sustainability indicator according to their importance in the Palestinian context, by considering the opinion of a panel composed by experts and building occupants. For this purpose, two surveys to assess the opinion of the building construction experts and residents regarding the importance of the social sustainability indicators were conducted. Then, the importance of each indicator was defined using the AHP method. As a result, this research proposes a framework to assess the societal sustainability of West Bank, Palestine, buildings that is composed by twenty-one indicators distributed among six sustainability categories.
Países em desenvolvimento introduzem a sustentabilidade na indústria da construção, especialmente em obras residenciais em prol de resolver as suas questões de acordo com a Agenda 21 de 2002 para a construção sustentável nos países em desenvolvimento. West Bank, na Palestina, é parte de um país em desenvolvimento e um caso especial; tem sido ocupado desde 1967 e necessita com urgência de uma aplicação de construção sustentável. Assim, o objetivo dessa dissertação é contribuir para um melhor entendimento sobre o conceito de sustentabilidade social em edificios residenciais, pois este é o componente mais importante de uma habitação sustentável. Para alcançar esse objetivo, uma estrutura de avaliação do performance social das obras residenciais de West Bank é proposta. A avaliação da sustentabilidade em edificios está em constante evolução e difere de localidade para localidade. Por causa disto, a estrutura apresentada nessa dissertação baseia se sobretudo, nos indicadores de sustentabilidade dos métodos internacionais de avaliação da sustentabilidade (Code for Homes, LEED for Homes e SBTool) e suas aplicabilidades no contexto palestiniono. Em seguida, essa lista preliminar de indicadores foi validada através de entrevistas com profissionais da área. O passo seguinte foi classificar cada indicador de sustentabilidade social de acordo com sua importância no contexto palestiniono, considerando um painel composto por especialistas e usuários de edificios residenciais. Para tanto, foram realizados dois levantamentos para avaliar a opinião dos especialistas em construção civil e moradores quanto à importância dos indicadores de sustentabilidade social. Então, a importância de cada indicador foi definida usando o método AHP. Desse modo, essa pesquisa propôs uma estrutura de avaliação do fator social de sustentabilidade de prédios em Cisjordânia, na Palestina, que é composta por vinte e um indicadores distribuídos em seis categorias de sustentabilidade.

Testo completoOver the past centuries, industrialization has been playing a relevant role in the development of nations, especially through its worldwide contribution to the economic growth and thus increasing people’s well-being standards. However, industrial development and how it can be influenced by governmental decisions has only been slightly analyzed in the context of disputed or occupied territories with a sovereignty recognition problem. This research aims to contribute to overcome this gap, evaluating what could be the role of the Palestinian National Authority in the promotion of the industrial development in the West Bank. The main objective of this research is to debate the key challenges and obstacles faced by the West Bank industrial sector, in the perspective of the firms’ owners and managers. This research intends to give voice to those actors by analyzing the data reached thorough in-depth interviews, complemented by a survey to a statistically representative sample of the West Bank industry, in order to assure the validity of the presented results. The obstacles for the West Bank industry growth and development are various and encompass different magnitude, causes and nature. Many of them are caused by the influence of external forces, as a consequence of the limitations imposed by the Israeli occupation since 1967. A set of six major obstacles that should receive more attention and huge efforts from the Palestinian National Authority in order to overcome its negative influences to the local industries competitiveness were identified and discussed. Obstacles related with the lack of sovereignty and the non-control of the Palestinian Authority over its external and imposed internal borders. Obstacles related with unfair competition faced by local firms, motivated by the increase of the local production costs related with extra expenses that came from the occupation, and the fact that the West Bank economy is blockade and prevented from participate in the globalized economy. Obstacles caused by difficulties in fund raising and high taxation that limit the firms’ capability to face their difficulties and to grow by embracing new projects and investments. Obstacles that arose from the insecurity and political instability that caused the unattractiveness of the local economy for new investments (domestic and foreign). Obstacles related with several adversities and privations in the use of local infrastructures by the West Bank industries. And finally, obstacles that come from outdated production processes, associated with difficulties related with the technological modernization of local firms, as well as limitations and problems that derived from local management options.
Nos últimos séculos a industrialização tem assumido um papel relevante no desenvolvimento dos países, especialmente por contribuir para o crescimento económico e para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. No entanto, o progressivo desenvolvimento industrial e o modo como este tem sido influenciado pela acção governamental tem merecido pouca reflexão no contexto dos territórios disputados ou ocupados, com problemas de reconhecimento da sua soberania. Esta investigação procura contribuir para colmatar esta lacuna, avaliando qual poderá ser o papel da Autoridade Nacional da Palestina no desenvolvimento industrial de West Bank. O principal objectivo desta pesquisa consiste em debater os principais obstáculos enfrentados pela indústria de West Bank, na perspectiva dos seus empresários. A investigação procura dar voz a estes agentes locais, analisando informação recolhida em entrevistas de profundidade, assim como com um inquérito aplicado a uma amostra estatisticamente representativa das empresas industriais, de modo a assegurara a validade dos seus resultados. Os obstáculos que se colocam ao progresso da indústria de West Bank são vários, de diferente magnitude e com causas e naturezas distintas. Muitos deles resultam de forças externas, consequência de limitações impostas pela ocupação promovida por Israel desde 1967. Um conjunto de seis grandes obstáculos devem merecer a atenção da Autoridade Nacional da Palestina, de modo a mitigar os seu impactos. Obstáculos relacionados com a falta de soberania e de controlo das fronteiras externas de West Bank, bem como das fronteiras internas impostas pela ocupação. Obstáculos relacionados com a competição injusta a que as empresas locais estão sujeitas, em resultado de um acréscimo dos seus custos de produção derivado da ocupação, e do facto da economia de West Bank se encontrar fechada e impedida de participar das dinâmicas da globalização económica. Obstáculos relacionados com uma elevada taxação e dificuldades na obtenção de financiamento, o que limita a capacidade de investimento das empresas para crescerem e fazerem face a novos projectos. Obstáculos relacionados com a insegurança e a instabilidade política, que prejudica severamente a atractividade da economia de West Bank em relação a novos investimentos (locais e internacionais). Obstáculos relacionados com adversidades e privações no uso de infra-estruturas por parte das indústrias e que afectam a sua competitividade. E, finalmente, obstáculos relacionados com opções e procedimentos de gestão empresarial desadequados e com dificuldades de modernização tecnológica.
