The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh

The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh

Microcredit has been seen in recent decades as having great potential for aiding development in poor developing countries with Bangladesh being one of the countries which has pioneered microcredit and implemented it most widely. This book based on extensive original research explores how microcredit works in practice and assesses its effectiveness. It discusses how microcredit usually channelled through women is often passed to the men of the family a practice disapproved of by some but regarded as acceptable by borrowers who have a communal approach to debt rather than viewing debt as something held by single individuals. The book demonstrates how the rules around microcredit are often seem as irksome by the borrowers how lenders often charge high rates of interest and work primarily to preserve their institutions thereby going against the spirit of the microcredit movement and how borrowers often end up on a downward spiral deeper and deeper in debt. Overall the book argues that although microcredit does much good it also has many drawbacks. | The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh

Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

This book is an innovative study that places performance and dance studies in conversation with ecology by exploring the significance of dirt in performance. Focusing on a range of 20th- and 21st-century performances that include modern dance dance-theatre Butoh and everyday life this book demonstrates how the choreography of dirt makes biological geographical and cultural meaning what the author terms biogeocultography. Whether it’s the Foundling Father digging into the earth’s strata in Suzan-Lori Park’s The America Play (1994) peat hurling through the air in Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring (1975) dancers frantically shovelling out fistfuls of dirt in Eveoke Dance Theatre’s Las Mariposas (2010) or Butoh performers dancing with fungi in Iván-Daniel Espinosa’s Messengers Divinos (2018) each example shows how the incorporation of dirt can reveal micro-level interactions between species – like the interplay between microscopic skin bacteria and soil protozoa – and macro-level interactions – like the transformation of peat to a greenhouse gas. By demonstrating the stakes of moving dirt this book posits that performance can operate as a space to grapple with the multifaceted ecological dilemmas of the Anthropocene. This book will be of broad interest to both practitioners and researchers in theatre performance studies dance ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. | Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies

Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies

This book looks at how to build more resilience into socio-economic networks within local communities. Understanding the relationships between attachment to place complex systems and patterns of knowledge creation is not straightforward but these relationships are emerging as the challenges that we face in bridging the gap between the social worlds that we inhabit and an emerging digital world. These issues have been brought into even sharper focus through changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. On the one hand forced familiarity with communication technologies is driving globalisation forwards whilst on the other the crisis has created awareness of dependencies and heightened desires for more local solutions. Plenty of books have been written about the rise of digital networks and the decline of local communities. This book takes a radical approach by identifying how these trends fit together and provides examples of how digital networks can be made to work for the local as well as the global economy. Using a case study approach the book offers a clear-sighted view of the role of relational capital in specific places and organisations and shows the transformational impact that they can have at a micro level. The book deliberately seeks to shake up preconceived ideas and is ideal for strategy practitioners and policy makers within governments and NGOs involved in connecting local to wider network economies. | Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies

The Management of Wicked Problems in Health and Social Care

The Management of Wicked Problems in Health and Social Care

At a time of growing pressure on health and social care services this book draws together contributions which highlight contemporary challenges for their management. Providing a range of contributions that draw on a Critical Management Studies perspective the book raises macro-level concerns with theory demographics and economics on the one hand as well as micro-level challenges of leadership voice and engagement on the other. Rather than being an attempt to define the ‘wickedness’ of problems in this field this book provides new insights designed to be of interest and value to researchers students and managers. Contributions from international researchers explore four main topics: identifying contemporary challenges in health and social care; managing leading and following; listening to silent voices in delivering change; and new methodologies for understanding care challenges. The concerns discussed in this volume are ‘wicked’ in so far as they are persistent pernicious and beyond the curative abilities of any single organisation or profession. Such problems require collaboration but also new approaches to listening to those who suffer their effects. This book demonstrates such listening through its engagement with policy makers leaders followers professions patients forgotten groups and silenced voices. Moreover it considers how future research might be transformed so as to shine a more inclusive light on ‘wicked’ problems and their amelioration. This is a timely and engaging book that challenges you – the reader – to think again about how we should look at engage with and support all those involved in health and social care. | The Management of Wicked Problems in Health and Social Care
