Condition: very good. London & New York : Routledge, 2011. Hardcover. 288 pp.(Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series). - Despite Timor-Leste's high expectations when it became independent from Indonesia in 2002, the country is ranked among the least developed countries in the world. It has found itself at the centre of international attention in the last decade, with one of the biggest interventions in UN history, as well as receiving amongst the highest per capita rates of bilateral assistance in the Asia-Pacific region. This book draws together the perspectives of practitioners, policy-makers and academics on the international efforts to rebuild one of the world's newest nations. The contributors consider issues of peace-building, security and justice sector reform as well as human security in Timor-Leste, locating these in the broader context of building nation, stability and development. The book includes two demographic studies that can be used to critically examine the nation's possible future. Library stamps. Dutch text. Condition : very good. Condition : very good copy.

Hardback. Condition: New. The twenty-first century has thus far been characterised by a persistent amplification of diverse and interconnected global flows, as well as various attempts to control, harness and channel these flows for individual and collective benefits. Whether we resist, appropriate, or simply observe those forces, for most of us they have meant significant change and adaptation. Conceiving crowdedness broadly, the work in this volume engages with increased exposure to the lives and realities of both proximate and distant others, facilitated by the perpetual motion of globalisation. The chapters approach crowdedness from a range of perspectives. These include a consideration of the expectations of migrating health professionals and the responsibilities of host governments, and humanitarian professionals' perspectives on whether their sector can genuinely localise. Two chapters consider research ethics in development and humanitarian practice respectively, and the final two propose a role for virtue ethics in addressing identity politics and employee motivation. Together these papers demonstrate the broad impacts of globalisation, turning to ethics to inform response and engagement now and in the unpredictable future. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the function of culture and power in development praxis, by comparing the views of development workers in Cambodia and the Philippines with post-development theory and the participation approach to development. It explores whether development is culturally destructive, whether the current paradigm can deliver effective results, and what effect power relations have on these outcomes.Contrary to post-development claims, this book reveals that participatory development fosters cultural liberty by reinforcing collaborative cultural traits and strengthening communities to make choices about culture. In particular, practitioners desire a model of funding relationship that reflects their own practice, conforming to the paradigm of people underpinning the participatory approach to development.This book will be a valuable resource for policy-makers, practitioners and students of international development.…
