Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Since microcredit emerged as a favored program by donors in the 1990s, there have been numerous claims about its capacity to alleviate poverty and empower women. This shift in development policy thinking came about as poor clients demonstrated high repayment rates of small loans. It was noted that women had higher repayment rates than men and thus a common practice began of lending primarily to women. Many claimed that this economic empowerment would lead to wider social and political empowerment of women. This book examines these claims by placing them within the context of development policy paradigms. Through examples and case studies the potential microfinance has to reduce poverty is explored. Its effects are deemed minimal without a complete package of services tailored to the needs of the individual client. The issue of self-sustainability and the dependency on donor subsidies is also addressed as it illustrates a dualism is often seen in microfinance programs the goal of achieving financial sustainability versus the social objectives of many mission statements. This book would be useful for an undergraduate class in development policy or to development practitioners.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The greatest challenges of the twenty-first century stem from the fact that we are now living in a new epoch: the Anthropocene. The human footprint on the planet can no longer be denied. One of the greatest and most essential human innovations, agriculture, is being increasingly recognised as a leading contributor to climate change. According to global governance bodies, the world will need to feed a predicted nine billion people by 2050. However, in this Anthropocene, we must address the environmental inequalities in how these people will be fed. This book explores our current societal struggles to transition towards more sustainable agrifood systems. It suggests that debates around sustainable agriculture must be social as well as technical, exploring the growth of social movements campaigning for more democratic food systems. However, as each chapter demonstrates, both the problems and the solutions in sustainable agriculture are highly contested. Using the term 'agrifood' to capture the nexus between research, governance and the environment knowledge-environment-governance, this book provides an in-depth and wide-ranging account of current research around agricultural production and food consumption. The book introduces the Anthropocene along with the fundamental question that it poses about human-nature interactions. It outlines the core concerns related to agriculture and food and the debates around the need for agrifood system transitions. Each chapter investigates controversies in the field through case studies. These contributions offer a call for sociologists of agriculture and food to engage with the controversies unfolding in the Anthropocene. 416 pp. Englisch.…
