National accountability : the solution for achieving sustainable social and economic developmentLatham, Jodi January 2004 (has links)
Research into the divergent results achieved by developing countries has traditionally been separated into two distinct approaches. While some scholars have attributed failures to weak governance at the national level, many others have criticised the pursuit of a narrow set of pre-defined liberal market reforms. Using the experiences of China and Botswana as case examples this research moves beyond the limitations of existing explanations to examine the necessity for both national accountability and contextualised policy making. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the connection between good governance and substantive human development indicates that while national accountability is vital, the individual circumstances of a state are equally important to consider.

Social, political and cultural determinants of economic activity : comparative perspectivesMendell, Marguerite, 1947- January 1983 (has links)
The inspiration for this study was the work of Karl Polanyi. The study therefore looks to an economics of which market economy is only part of a special case. On the basis of evidence from economic historians and economic anthropologists, it seeks to show that the wider economics of Polanyi can be given a unified basis that operates equally in simple and complex communities, ancient and modern communities, and in communities on either side of the "great transformation". A first charge on economic surplus is invariably the resources to perpetuate the social structure itself, and may be a charge so large as to exhaust almost all of the surplus and so variable in its expression that the charge on resources often passes unnoticed or is mistaken as irrational and non-economic. In its particulars, this study examines social, cultural and political determinants of economic activity from a selection of social systems and historical periods. It argues for a much expanded analytical framework than that of market-focussed theory. It draws attention to rarely noticed contributions by earlier writers, notably Carl Menger, and to important contemporary contributions by the substantivist school in economic anthropology.

Social entrepreneurs as architects of community development in Cape Town : problems and prospectsMalunga, Portia January 2017 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Entrepreneurship))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Background and research problem: There have been claims in academic literature that
social entrepreneurs, such as non-profit organisations and hybrid organisations that pursue
social outcomes are architects or innovators of community development. However to date,
there is no conclusive empirical evidence to support that claim.
Main purpose of the study: The main purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of
the opportunities created by social entrepreneurs, as architects of community development,
in communities they operate; identify the main challenges that the social entrepreneurs face
and come up with recommendations of how social entrepreneurs can deal with these
challenges. For the purpose of the study, the focus was on communities especially those
ravaged by various social ills.
Research methodology: A mixed method approach was adopted as the study was
underpinned by two paradigms namely, positivist and interpretivist philosophies. The survey
strategy was used in conducting the inquiry. Data was collected using semi-structured
questionnaires which were self-administered to 150 community members selected randomly.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 respondents. Computer aided statistical
method was used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data was analysed using noncomputer
aided thematic techniques.
Main findings, conclusions and recommendations: The study found that the majority of
social entrepreneurs studied have been making positive contributions to various aspects of
community development. However, none of them has embraced the whole range of
community development aspects that are needed for a holistic approach to comprehensive
contribution. Reasons for failure to embrace a holistic approach include a lack of social
entrepreneurship development framework, and various operational and political challenges. It
is also important to mention that the research techniques used are not adequate to measure
certain types of social impacts of the social entrepreneur's efforts. For these, additional social
impact measuring techniques would need to be developed and employed.
