This exploration takes the case of Turkey and will concentrate on the period of initial modernization of Turkey (1923-1934) and the contemporary situation (1980-1985). https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/41422/ Fri, 13 Dec 1991 00:00:01 GMT <div>Sanchez Bajo, Claudia B.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/64413/ Fri, 17 Dec 1993 00:00:01 GMT <div>Inoue, Cristina Y.A.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/11320/ Fri, 31 Dec 1993 00:00:01 GMT <div>Jacobs, John H.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/8820/ Tue, 01 Nov 1994 00:00:01 GMT <div>Donkersgoed-Valentine, Deborah van</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9680/ Fri, 01 Dec 1995 00:00:01 GMT <div>Saim, Dyg Hajah Sainah Binte Haji</div> This study is an analysis of the implementation of the Brunei Darussalam National Housing Scheme as translated in the role and activities of the Brunei Darussalam Housing Development Department. This is an attempt to find out the success or failure of the scheme implementation as carried out by the Housing Development Department as its implementing agency. The Government through the department has acted as provider of housing in most aspects of the country's development. This study is mainly based on secondary data and personal interviews, and this collection was carried out within a limited time of a couple of months. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/10340/ Sun, 01 Nov 1998 00:00:01 GMT <div>Makoude, Opiyo Jeconiah</div> This paper seeks to understand the role that the state, the market and civil society can play in Kenya's development. It seeks to understand current debates on development in light of changes that have occurred in the process of Kenya's development. In doing this, it aims to understand the role that structures of control (i.e. the state and its instruments of control) have played historically and how external forces have influenced this process. Secondly, it also aims to understand how production and exchange relations have influenced social structures. In taking the above approach, the paper hopes to find out why the state continues to have an entrenched role in Kenya's economy. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9224/ Sun, 01 Nov 1998 00:00:01 GMT <div>Vela Vargas, Talia L.</div> Significant shifts in the international economic, social and political agendas have taken place in the last years. Unsolved environmental issues have become targets for policy makers all over the world, as they may threaten the lives of future generations. Deforestation, water depletion and air pollution are examples of controversial problems requiring immediate action. In countries like Peru, the damaging effects of the economic crisis have led the population to exert pressure over natural resources to avoid starvation. Faced by the urgency to develop their economies without losses in their environment, governments are striving for national policies to lessen the impacts of the circle 'poverty-environmental degradation'. In that context, the achievement of a balance among environmental, social and economic concerns, namely sustainable development, is considered difficult to convey despite its general acceptance. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/52186/ Fri, 18 Dec 1998 00:00:01 GMT <div>Matinde, Pamela Akinyi</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9349/ Mon, 01 Nov 1999 00:00:01 GMT <div>Otieno, Isaack Okero</div> Based on the transition period 1990 - 1999, this study purposes to critically examine the emergent civil society in Kenya. The study reveals that what passes as civil society in Kenya is narrow and therefore suggests an approach that can accommodate all its manifestations. The study tells the story about potentials and limitations of the civil society in promoting fundamental political and socio- economic changes in a transition country like Kenya. It is evident from this study that there is a narrow base of what passes as civil society in Kenya. Therefore this study in accepting that civil society is important in the deepening of democracy, tells the story of the contemporary civil society by availing factors that mitigate for the narrow basis of civil society and further conclude by suggesting possible remedies to the .problem. It does appear evident from this study that there is need to narrow the gap between reality and theory in as far as civil society in concerned. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9353/ Wed, 01 Dec 1999 00:00:01 GMT <div>Ogawa, Kumiko</div> The few last decades have seen more and more large companies in industrialized countries undertaking philanthropic activities within their business activities. In the United State these activities were established as part of business culture many decades ago. For example, American corporations have donated for the development and improvement of local community positively. Because in the United States, if you denied such kind of activities, you are no longer to be estimated as leading company (Tanaka 1989:81). For most of them, it has become natural common idea that business have to do some contributions to the society where they can do business. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9142/ Wed, 01 Dec 1999 00:00:01 GMT <div>Aguilar, R.O.</div> Discrimination appears to be a unifying factor among the indigenous peoples around the world (Brolmann and Zieck, 1993:187). In the Philippines, this phenomenon is intertwined with issues which are historical, social, cultural and political in nature. Passing through all these thiCkets unscathed is practically impossible that any hope of disentangling from it all may exist only in the imagination. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9257/ Wed, 01 Dec 1999 00:00:01 GMT <div>Michael-Williams, Scholastic</div> The population, poverty and development debate is an old age phenomenon. The discussions have centred on the population size, fertility trends and levels in developing countries that are viewed as the primary causes of the global problems today. This view begun with Malthus in the seventeenth century. In his great essay of 1798, Malthus argued that, whereas population growth is geometric, the growth of food supplies takes place at an arithmetic rate. This implies that in time, population growth will exceed that of food supplies thus leading to starvation. In his eyes, the poor had far too many children (Crook, 1997:3-80). Ross argues that Malthus and his contemporaries "were preoccupied with the question of property relations" at the time. The landlords and industrialists were not concerned about general misery and an end to mankind that would supposedly be brought about overpopulation, but felt threatened by the poor who begun to demand land which they felt was appropriated from them in the first place (Ross, 1998:73-78)). Hartmann submits that the World Bank "has slightly altered the previous Malthusian line of causality. While it now maintains that poverty, not the sheer weight of human numbers, is responsible for hunger and environmental depletion, it blames much of poverty on the economic consequences of population growth, thus continuing to hold the poor responsible for their own misery" (Hartmann, 1995:30-31). https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9231/ Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:01 GMT <div>Soriano, Cherryl Ruth R.</div> In the past, discussions of humanitarian assistance focused on describing its altruism and intrinsic goodness, thereby shielding it from scrutiny and critical analysis. More recently, however, humanitarian assistance has become a topic of academic, practical, and political concern. Various factors led to this increased interest: a level of disenchantment with results, the lack of organizational and institutional learning, little documented improvement of operations over the years, an overall lack of accountability to the public at large and the beneficiaries, and their problematic impact. Other concerns revolve around the varying interpretations of relief and rehabilitation by different humanitarian organizations that lead to differences in the content, scope, and impact of humanitarian assistance that they provide. Over the last years there has been a number of valuable attempts to discuss these issues and to identify best and worst practices. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9206/ Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:01 GMT <div>Derrick, Elemu</div> In Lusaka, as is the case elsewhere in the country, micro-credit has been seen as the 'ideal' tool for women's empowerment and poverty alleviation. It is believed that the availability of 'affordable' credit on 'fair' terms is central to the advancement of women's micro-enterprises - invariably leading to their empowerment and poverty alleviation. However, in spite of the increase in programmes providing credit for enterprise development, there has been little impact on the women involved in terms of empowerment and poverty alleviation. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9345/ Sun, 01 Dec 2002 00:00:01 GMT <div>Pacano, Anna Maria Leida N.</div> At present, gripping the world commodity market is a crisis which has pushed the coffee farmers to an almost brink of survival. Coffee farmers have been among the hardest hit by the long stretched-out crisis in the international markets. The magnitude of the crisis is not only exacerbated by how far the prices of coffee slumped in the last 10 years, but also the number of lives and economies of countries devastated. And all the while the big four main roasters, the multinational companies (MNCs) - Kraft General Foods, Nestle, Procter and Gamble, and Sara Lee, are all raking in profit ('Mugged, Poverty in your coffee cup' Oxfam Report, 200.2). https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9240/ Mon, 01 Dec 2003 00:00:01 GMT <div>Dorgbed, Christine Esi</div> The Republic of Ghana derives its name from the medieval Ghana Empire located in West Africa with a coastline of 554k111 along the Atlantic Ocean and a total land area of about 238,533sqkm (92.000 sq miles). Within thiI1y-five years of Ghana's becoming a sovereign state. the country has experienced nine different types of govellU11ent (three civilian and six military) including a Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, a socialist single party republic and several military regimes following coups in 1966.1972.1979 and 1981 before its f0U11h return to multiparty democratic government in January 1993 (Quainoo.2002). https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/9219/ Mon, 01 Dec 2003 00:00:01 GMT <div>Wilson, Goya</div> Policymaking provides a very limited space for action. Through the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) policy process "Poverty" can be seen as a new field of politics in contemporary Nicaragua. Even though presented as a technical process, it is more about politics and the management of opposition for predetermined agendas to be applied willingly as they are nationally "owned". https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/8282/ Mon, 01 Dec 2003 00:00:01 GMT <div>TRANDEM, AME</div>
