Bottom-up social enterprises in Romania. Case study – Retirees’ Mutual Aid Association

The purpose of this article is to present and analyze the organizational profile and distinctive development pattern of a successful bottom-up social enterprise in Romania, namely, the Retirees’ Mutual Aid Association (RMAA). Romania has recently rediscovered the world of social economy which brings together various organizations, from associations and foundations to cooperatives and commons, sharing a common interest in developing entrepreneurial activities to support social goals. In an ideological and public policy context which holds back the opening of the public market to the third sector and social economy actors, setting and running up such organizations remains a challenge. On the other hand, the isomorphic pressure exerted by the EU has resulted in a type of legislation targeted at social enterprises which focuses almost exclusively on work integration social enterprises. Nonetheless, Romania also features social enterprises that are not externally driven but developed bottom-up, starting from the needs of their members and of the communities in which they are established and developed. Using the data of extensive research conducted on social economy entities in Romania, we will present an organizational case study of a successful bottom-up social enterprise, namely RMAA.     

Politics of innovation and development: The role of industry associations in integrating political,bureaucratic, industrial and health systems in India and South Africa

Integrating political, bureaucratic, industrial and healthcare systems has been a major challenge for politics of innovation and development policy in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This challenge has so far been understood in terms of separate industrial and health‐related innovation policies without paying adequate attention to the institutional roles of biopharmaceutical and other umbrella associations. This article seeks to examine such roles in the developmental contexts of South Africa and India. The argument put forward is that, in both countries, biopharmaceutical and umbrella associations have evolved from lobbying organizations to institutional partners who influence the politics of innovation and development—and therefore the degree of integration and fragmentation—of political, bureaucratic, industrial innovation and health systems.     

Civicness: From Civil Society to Civic Services?

Activities in civil society, seen as the sphere of society in which voluntary associations are dominant, are considered an important source of civility in modern society. By interacting and finding solutions for common problems, members of associations turn into citizens with a broader perspective and interest in the common good. The evidence for these positive roles is at best mixed, however. Not voluntarily associating in a separate sphere of civil society, but combining associational with public and commercial modes of social coordination, appears to offer a more promising option for civilizing modern society. Examples of hybridity are discussed. The paper concludes with a plea for a clearer recognition in social research of civicness as a normative perspective.

Practices of exclusion and injustices within social work education

Despite being a major influence, there are few studies investigating the impact of accreditation on the social justice remit of social work education. This article is guided by two questions: What are the social justice responsibilities of professional associations regulating social work education via accreditation? and What contribution can institutional ethnography make to understanding and change in this area? Drawing on a data-subset from a larger institutional ethnography, selected narratives of two informants, a social work student and a social work lecturer, are discussed. These narratives reveal how key documents of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) used to re-accredit social work courses influence how the study and work of the informants happens. Analysis of the narratives and documents bring the textually organised process of the re-accreditation of social work programmes into view. While this article reports on an Australian context, the issues raised concerning social injustice, epistemological equity and the implicit curriculum are relevant for social work education across many parts of the world. The contribution of this article is to recommend institutional ethnography as a research approach to generate understanding and transformation of organisations with social justice objectives, to redress exclusion and injustice.     

英国浸礼会在近代陕西慈善事业考略

英国浸礼会自1891年进入陕西后,出于宗教普世主义与传播福音的双重目的,在陕大力兴办慈善事业。面对近代陕西灾荒、战乱频发的局面,浸礼会士积极投身于灾荒救济;参与战乱中的难民伤兵救助;开办孤儿院收留灾荒儿童;开设医疗机构施医舍药;一定程度上缓解了当地民众的疼苦。浸礼会在陕西的慈善事业,尽管存在吸引民众入教的目的与救助地域的局限,但对处于水深火热中的陕省民众无疑是雪中送炭,尤其为浸礼会在陕西传教开了方便之门,并带来了先进的慈善理念,推动了陕西慈善事业的近代转型。     

谈诺齐克的无政府、国家和乌托邦之哲学理念

诺齐克是20世纪杰出的哲学家。1971年著名哲学家罗尔斯发表了著作《正义论》,此后出现了许多学者来回应和批判这部著作,其中影响最大的是诺齐克所著的《无政府、国家和乌托邦》。诺齐克在书中不仅提出了权利正义论的核心内容——"持有的正义三原则",并且创造性地提出"支配的保护性社团"、"超低限度的国家"、"最低限度的国家"、"看不见手"等等有关国家形成过程中的概念,其贡献是卓越的,其理论高瞻远瞩,非常值得后人去深入研究。

论中国传统慈善事业的近代转型

慈善事业在中国有着悠久的历史,并在宋代以后尤其是明清时期日趋兴盛。对古代慈善事业施予最大影响的莫过于支配中国传统社会二千年之久的儒家思想。但中国古代慈善机构重在“收养”,这种理念和现实,在晚清发生了显著的变化。伴随西学东渐的浪潮,“教养兼施”的慈善理念开始出现,教养结合的慈善机构渐趋增多,中国的慈善事业开始由传统向近代转型。
