A characterization of trust,and its consequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jack Barbalet 《Theory and Society》2009,38(4):367-382
Trust is understood in terms of a) acceptance of dependency in b) the absence of information about the other’s reliability
in order to c) create an outcome otherwise unavailable. The first of these is the cost of trust; the second, the situation
of uncertainty it faces and may overcome; the third, its purchase. This account permits: distinction between trust and similar
relations with which it is frequently confused; discovery of the basis of trust in the emotional apprehension of confidence;
and demonstration of the relationship between trust and both social capital and rationality, with counter-intuitive results.

One essential dilemma for modern clinical social work involves the relationship between the processes taking place inside
the self and the social, cultural, and political developments affecting a person from the outside. The group-analysis approach
focuses on four levels of relationships and communication within the group, among others a primordial level of shared myths,
archetypical images, and the collective unconscious as an important component of psychotherapy. This article describes group-analysis
therapy with women, analyzing a therapeutic process that used social myths to explore the formative institutionalization processes
participants had undergone, thereby expanding themselves, growing, and changing.

Social Capital,Volunteering, and Charitable Giving 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lili Wang Elizabeth Graddy 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2008,19(1):23-42
This paper explores the impact of social capital—measured by social trust and social networks—on individual charitable giving
to religious and secular organizations. Using United States data from the national sample of the 2000 Social Capital Community
Benchmark Survey, we find that social trust, bridging social network, and civic engagement increase the amount of giving to
both religious and secular causes. In contrast, organizational activism only affects secular giving. Volunteering activity,
and human and financial capital indicators positively affect both religious and secular giving. Finally, those who are happy
about their lives and those who are religious give more to religious causes, but these factors do not affect secular giving.
We find evidence of important differences in the determinants of religious and secular giving, suggesting the need to distinguish
these two types of charitable giving in future work.

Power disparities underlie many of the issues that couples bring for therapy. People in relationships are not equal; often
one partner is systematically conferred unearned advantage and dominance. This article synthesizes results from three qualitative
research studies to propose a social justice approach for clinical practice with couples. Interventions are suggested to keep
issues of power and privilege a central focus while addressing the ordinary issues partners present for therapy.

The paper proposes to discuss the issue of civicness in the governance of social services by analyzing policy changes relative
to the regulation and governance of social services in Europe. The empirical analysis is structured around the concept of
“governance regime.” The paper shows that modernization processes within the field of social services in Europe develop along
two radically different regulative conceptions reflected into two different governance regimes: market-based or competitive
governance vs civic-based or partnership governance. The governance of social services in Europe appears to take place within
a mix between two ideal-typical governance regimes: the market-based and partnership-based governance regimes.

No profession in the United States has a broader perspective on human needs than social work. Bold but also functional, social
work distinctively places the pursuit of social justice on a par with the clinical treatment of individuals, pairs and families.
Yet for much of the twentieth Century, proponents of the “macro” and of the “micro” approaches to practice have challenged
each other’s commitment to social progressivism and humanist values. Interestingly, this on-going debate has hardly changed
the core “person-in-environment” psychoanalytic paradigm at all. It is time to set aside this hidebound dispute, I argue in
this article: social work is not two institutions folded into one but one profession that must be understood dialectically.
Drawing on the history of the early psychoanalyst’s intense social activism and their commitment to treating the poor and
working classes, I show how psychoanalysis shares in the transformation of civil society and helps restore individuals and
communities alike to self-regulation and productivity.

The legal transitions of private ownership from being admitted limitedly to being protected equally with public ownership,
and of the peasants’ right on rural lands from a contractual right to the right in rem, are almost the same process of social reform. And in the interaction of social development and legislation, the law has
taken on an increasing role in social transition.

Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been episodic, and studies of different forms
of political violence have followed different approaches, with “breakdown” theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing
radicalism, social movement theories sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and area study specialists
focusing on ethnic and religious forms. Some of the studies on extreme forms of political violence that have emerged within
the social movement tradition have nevertheless been able to trace processes of conflict escalation through the detailed examination
of historical cases. This article assesses some of the knowledge acquired in previous research approaching issues of political
violence from the social movement perspective, as well as the challenges coming from new waves of debate on terrorist and
counterterrorist action and discourses. In doing this, the article reviews contributions coming from research looking at violence
as escalation of action repertoires within protest cycles; political opportunity and the state in escalation processes; resource
mobilization and violent organizations; narratives of violence; and militant constructions of external reality.

The Influence of Social Supports on Employment for Hispanic, Black, and White Unmarried Mothers 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Melissa Radey 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(3):445-460
This study considers the relationship between social supports and employment and how this relationship may differ for Hispanic,
non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White unmarried mothers with young children. Using data from the Fragile Families and
Child Wellbeing Study, this article examines how various perceived and received social supports influence later employment
outcomes. Multinomial regression analyses indicate that family, individual, and family background supports promoted employment
while community supports were associated with lower employment levels. Race-specific analyses indicate that supports were
related to employment to a much greater extent for Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks than for non-Hispanic Whites. Results
suggest that unmarried mothers’ unique needs and supports must be taken into account to accommodate employment.

Social Enterprise in the United States and Europe: Understanding and Learning from the Differences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Janelle A. Kerlin 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2006,17(3):246-262
Since the 1980s both the United States and Europe have experienced a simultaneous expansion in social enterprise. However, little has been written comparing and contrasting American and European conceptions of social enterprise resulting in difficulty communicating on the topic and missed opportunities to learn and build on foreign experience. To address this need, this paper compares and contrasts American and European social enterprise through an extensive review of literature from the two regions and discussions with social enterprise researchers on both sides of the Atlantic. It outlines the definitions of social enterprise used by American and European academics and practitioners, identifies historical factors promoting and shaping different conceptions of social enterprise, and highlights the differing institutional and legal environments in which it operates. It concludes by identifying what Americans and Europeans can learn from each others’ experience with social enterprise.

This article examines how the various claims to, and demands for, rights have enabled and shaped the various equity and justice
seeking social movements that have emerged in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, the key point being that claims to rights are fundamental
of the logic and coherence of social movements. The article is divided into three sections. The first sets the conceptual
and analytical frame by elaborating on the rights–social movements nexus. This is followed by a discussion of the historical
and conceptual location of the Niger Delta. The rest of the article interrogates the contexts of relative deprivation, rights
denial, and injustice within which social movements have emerged in the Niger Delta. A major objective is to account for why
the social movements have been largely ethnic and most recently generational and to analyze the dynamics and outcomes of the
rights struggles waged by the various social movements.

This paper analyzes nature protection by a social planner under different ‘utilitarian’ social welfare functions. For that purpose we construct an integrated model of the economy and the ecosystem with explicit consideration of nonhuman species and with competition between human and nonhuman species for land and prey biomass. We characterize and compare the efficient allocations when social welfare is anthropocentric (only consumers have positive welfare weights), when social welfare is biocentric (only nonhuman species have positive welfare weights) and when social welfare is nonanthropocentric (all species have positive welfare weights). Not surprisingly, biocentric social welfare calls for suspending all economic activities. It is more important, however, that both anthropocentrism and nonanthropocentrism make the case for nature protection through different channels, though. Our analysis suggests that one may dispense with the concept of nonanthropocentric social welfare provided that in the anthropocentric framework the consumers' intrinsic valuation of nature is properly accounted for.

This paper engages the concept of the organizational field to explore the status of a growing set of organizations referred to as social enterprises, nonprofit ventures, and social purpose businesses. The argument is developed through an ethnographic case study of a nonprofit hybrid organization (in the United States) that is training welfare recipients in their own in-house businesses. First, this paper provides an overview of the commercial trends in the nonprofit sector and the rise of social purpose enterprises. Then, employing key concepts from neo-institutional theory, the author proposes framing nonprofit-business hybrids as organizations positioned in two different organizational fields—each necessitating different internal organizational technologies—to elucidate the structural tensions that can emerge inside these new hybrid models. Internal organizational tensions identified in the case study are highlighted. Finally, the proposed use of organizational field theory developed from the case analysis is discussed in terms of social enterprise more generally.

This article examines how former prisoners of color conceptualize their political, social, and economic futures and how these
conceptualizations relate to the racialized social structural obstacles encountered upon reentry and decisions to re-engage
criminal labor. I find that, presented with similar post-prison challenges, excarcerated men take several approaches when
reentering society. I argue that the differences among their approaches lie in their varying interpretations of how they can
act as individuals against and within their social structural limitations. Their decisions to rejoin or forfeit participation
in criminal economies are thus shaped by experiences confronting the limitations of material conditions but also emerge from
their critiques of racialized structures.

Theorists have linked the creation of social capital to the development of the kind of robust civil society that underwrites
the well formed and stable democracy. This understanding raises the problem of what is social capital in specific national
contexts. A critical issue is whether and to what extent a model of social capital moulded to the EuroAmerican experience
is applicable to the new democracies. Three arguments are made in the context of a review of the works of Putnam and Touraine.
First, the question of social capital foundationally concerns not only the production of institutions and values but the conditions of production. Analysis thus needs to grasp not only the specifically social process of its creation, distribution, and institutionalization,
but the political culture and economy that serve as its foundation. Second, theories of social capital created in the context
of nation-state based production-centered political economy do not capture what is going on in an increasingly globalized
and circulatory political economy. And third, theories of social capital centered on the United States and Europe are only
partially applicable to the emerging democracies of Africa and the postcolony generally.

A Short Commentary on the article 'Staying Put in the Closet: Examining Clinical Practice and Countertransference Issues in
Work with Gay Men Married to Straight Women' by Edward Alessi. The focus is upon countertransference issues, especially therapeutic
ambition, in working clinically with heterosexually married gay men. The work of the interpersonal school is emphasized as
providing a creative approach to therapeutic ambition with Otto Allen Will's concept of the governing principle of uncertainty.

The Social Construction of Deviant Behavior in Homeless and Runaway Youth: Implications for Practice
This study examined the social construction of deviance in a sample of homeless and/or runaway youth in metropolitan Phoenix.
In depth semi-structured interviews with 14 youth were conducted, and the data were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative
research computer program. The findings from the study point to an emerging theory, which suggests that ambiguous local policies
relevant to homeless youth (e.g., trespassing, loitering) resulted in their selective enforcement by local security and police.
Respondents described the ways that they adapted their behaviors to the environmental stressors resulting from these policies.
Implications for practice are discussed.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

Because social workers are likely to have a more expanded role within organized psychoanalysis than previously, it seems timely
to consider the numerous challenges and opportunities ahead with respect to social workers’ impact on the practice of psychoanalysis.
For those who become social work psychoanalysts, in particular, a pivotal issue is the degree to which they retain their core
identity as clinical social workers. It is important for them to integrate and balance the diverse aspects of their dual identity,
to participate in our social work organizations, to contribute to developing psychoanalysis, and to work to keep the teaching
of contemporary psychoanalytic theories alive in social work education.

This article explores one region’s struggle for human rights and legal justice in post-war Guatemala. Rabinal—a target of
state-directed genocide in the 1980s—suffered one of the highest fatality levels of the war. In the post-war era, Rabinal
human rights activists have led the struggle to demand exhumations of mass graves, build memorials, and push for criminal
investigations and trials. Despite some important local victories, few of those responsible for the violence have received
punishment. But that does not mean this movement is a failure. Instead, this article highlights the cultural, expressive and
inprocess benefits of mobilization. Rabinal activists have restored their sense of agency and confirmed their collective identity
as fighters for legal justice. Meanwhile, this local mobilization has contributed to Guatemala’s uneven process of democratization.
