Agrarian Reform And Rural Reconstruction In The Philippines = 菲律宾土地改革与农村重建, Isagani R. Serrano Dec 2012

Agrarian Reform And Rural Reconstruction In The Philippines = 菲律宾土地改革与农村重建, Isagani R. Serrano

South South Forum 南南論壇

Agrarian reform is at the heart of rural reconstruction and both are essential to achieving sustainable development. It includes not only land redistribution but also empowerment of peasants as key actors in building the rural economy. Land is not only an asset to be owned and accessed but also as a natural resource with multiple uses for both economic development and protection of ecosystems. Land ownership has hitherto been a centerpiece question in Philippine development, indeed, in nation building. Land monopoly on one side and landlessness on the other have defined to a large extent the history and political economy …


Bess Of Hardwick: Second Most Powerful Woman Of The Elizabethan Age And A Symbol Of Modern Thought, Hollie Mcdonald Dec 2012

Bess Of Hardwick: Second Most Powerful Woman Of The Elizabethan Age And A Symbol Of Modern Thought, Hollie Mcdonald

Grand Valley Journal of History

While not a very elegant representation of Bess of Hardwick, this quatrain nevertheless introduces a striking and unique character of an Elizabethan woman. Many studies on Elizabethan women focus on the subjugated place of females in that society. However, women, such as Bess of Hardwick, existed, and did not fit within these stereotypes, much like the poem by one of Bess’ contemporaries indicates. Often, since these women are minorities in sixteenth century England, they are overlooked entirely and not given proper credit for their accomplishments and services to crown and country. This is an ungracious disservice to the women who …


Characterization Of Urban Agricultural Practices And Gardeners’ Perceptions In Bronx Community Gardens, New York City., Michelle Melissa Althaus Ottmann, Juliana A. Maantay, Kristen Grady, Nilce N. Fonte Dec 2012

Characterization Of Urban Agricultural Practices And Gardeners’ Perceptions In Bronx Community Gardens, New York City., Michelle Melissa Althaus Ottmann, Juliana A. Maantay, Kristen Grady, Nilce N. Fonte

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

This study investigates urban agricultural practices in the community gardens in the Bronx, New York City, United States, due to their historical role of helping bring peace and a sense of community to areas that suffered from violence and social injustice. Through semi-structured interviews with the gardeners, visits to observe the gardens, and a spatial analysis of community socio-demographic characteristics using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we characterize the community gardens visited, and survey the gardeners’ perceptions regarding the benefits and challenges that are involved in the activity. The GISc analysis results showed that there is a much higher rate of …


Principles For Accountable Leadership — The Aa1000 Series, Daniel Waistell Dec 2012

Principles For Accountable Leadership — The Aa1000 Series, Daniel Waistell

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Author Daniel Waistell, Standards Manager of London-based AccountAbility, has provided the most recent benchmarks of identifying stakeholders for businesses to pursue greater sustainability in their respective operations. These standards are often coupled with world protocol reporting guidelines, including Global Reporting Initiative headquartered in Amsterdam (a United Nations-based program voluntarily used by the majority of Fortune 1000 companies as well as myriad small and medium enterprises). Waistell demonstrates the need for more transparency in business operations and reporting activities to achieve greater accountability for a wider array of non-traditional stakeholders.


Workplace Bullying And Ethical Leadership, David Yamada Dec 2012

Workplace Bullying And Ethical Leadership, David Yamada

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

In order to increase business productivity, benefit packages and other financial incentives might not be adequate. Rather, the focus upon common respect for — and decent treatment of — all workers is discussed, with primary emphasis given to the endemic workplace problem of worker harassment. Simple courtesies, genuine team and individual service acknowledgement, and the dismantling of a counterproductive, hierarchical worker system, often lead to increased productivity, congenial relationships, and a happier and healthier worker.


Capitalism Revisited: The Interplay Of Motivation, Inspiration And Risk, Duncan Goose Dec 2012

Capitalism Revisited: The Interplay Of Motivation, Inspiration And Risk, Duncan Goose

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Business leaders who have effectively communicated their values by undertaking substantial philanthropic endeavors made fiscally possible through their own business successes, labors and investments, appear to all share a common thread. Influential social, environmental, work and religious backgrounds are studied and “epiphanal” experiences explored.

The Making Of A “Philanthropreneur” (Interview With Trevor Field And Mark Melman, Playpumps International) Dec 2012

The Making Of A “Philanthropreneur” (Interview With Trevor Field And Mark Melman, Playpumps International)

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

“Be mindful of taking care of yourself without excesses.” In the case of Playpumps® International, an NGO based in Johannesburg, South Africa, coupling a not-for-profit with a for-profit company produced the needed incentive to bear truth to the idiom that one person, one simple idea can really change the world. Trevor Field and his partner, Mark Melman, former executives in the outdoor advertising industry, have done just that. With the invention of the PlayPump® water system, government agencies, NGOs and for-profit business have converged to address the disturbing reality that over one billion people lack access to clean water. According …
