Co-Operative Communities at Work (International Library of Sociology)
by Henrik F. InfieldThis is Volume IV in a series of twenty-two on Race, Class and Social Structure. Originally published in 1947, in this study is an attempt to sum up the lessons offered by co-operative communities of the past and present. The work deals with two principal tasks: (I) a description of the most significant instances of co-operative living in relation to post-war planning; (2) their application to resettlement to-day.
Co-operative Enterprise in Comparative Perspective: Exceptionally Un-American?
by Jason S. SpicerCo-operative enterprises, which are democratically owned and governed by their workers, customers, or suppliers, have long captured the imagination of activists and social scientists alike. In centering economic democracy and a collectivist-democratic logic, and in embodying a "third way" alternative to profit-maximizing corporations and state-owned enterprises, co-operatives offer the promise of a more sustainable and equitable economy. Despite extensive study of co-operatives' real and imagined benefits, we know little about the conditions under which they achieve the lasting scale needed to be a viable alternative and transform the economy. Under what conditions can co-operatives achieve such scale? And are such conditions present in the United States, where, despite repeated organizing efforts, co-operatives remain exceptionally rare at scale? Through a rigorous comparative-historical analysis of co-operative enterprises in different national contexts, this book seeks to answer these questions. Deploying two different variants of the new institutionalism, Spicer treats the United States as a central case of comparative failure, as contrasted to three rich democracies where the co-operative business model has been more successful: Finland, France, and New Zealand. The cause of co-operatives' comparative weakness in the United States is identified as reflecting the joint effect of economic liberalism and structural racism. Only in the United States did the co-operative face, in its initial development, two well-entrenched incumbents operating with competing ownership models: the investor-owned firm and the race-based chattel slavery system of ownership of people. Proponents of these two models acted to deprive the co-operative movement of resources, and undermined the solidarity at the co-operative business model's heart, splintering the American co-operative movement in the process. In subsequent waves of co-operative organizing, advocates have never fully succeeded in overcoming these initial obstacles, resulting in a different outcome in the United States, consistent with broader conceptions of the United States as a perennial outlier (i.e., ""American exceptionalism""). In contrast, in the successful cases, advocates were better able to leverage resources to animate a national solidarity and procure the necessary political and economic resources to achieve scale.

Co-Parenting und die Zukunft der Liebe: Über post-romantische Elternschaft (X-Texte zu Kultur und Gesellschaft)
by Christine Wimbauer»Co-Parenting« als Familienkonzept breitet sich aus und stellt die Versprechen des romantischen Liebesideals mitsamt seinem geschlechterungleichen Normalfamilienmodell in Frage. Doch was bedeutet das für die Liebe selbst? Wird sie zerstört oder transformiert und öffnet sie sich für neue Familien- und Beziehungsformen? Entfaltet sich in der post-romantischen Elternschaft gar ein utopisch-emanzipatives Potenzial, das Frauen und LGBTIQ*s aus patriarchalen, hetero- und paarnormativen Herrschaftsverhältnissen befreit? Neben Gegenwarts- und Zukunftsszenarien erkundet Christine Wimbauer auch die gesellschaftspolitischen Herausforderungen dieser Entwicklungen.
Co-producing Knowledge for Sustainable Cities: Joining Forces for Change (Routledge Research in Sustainable Urbanism)
by Merritt PolkAt the current time, many issues and problems within sustainable urban development are managed within traditional disciplinary and organizational structures. However, problems such as, climate change, resource constraints, poverty and social tensions all exceed current compartmentalization of policy-making, administration and knowledge production. This book provides a better understanding of how researchers and practitioners together can co-produce knowledge to better contribute to solving the complex challenges of reaching sustainable urban futures. It is written for academic and professional audiences working with urban planning and sustainable cities around the world. Co-producing Knowledge is presented, by way of introduction, as a non-linear, collaborative approach to knowledge production which combines interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, cross sector and policy approaches to societal problem solving. Examples are taken from Cape Town, Gothenburg, Kisumu, Manchester, Melbourne and a selection of cities in Southeast Asia. Each city chapter discusses the drivers and motivations behind knowledge co-production and gives concrete examples of activities and approaches that have been used to promote sustainable urban futures. Each chapter is written to promote mutual learning from the approaches that are already in use. Building upon these city cases, the conclusions outline an international practice and research agenda aimed at strengthening the promotion and implementation of the knowledge co-production for sustainability across diverse urban development contexts. This book provides an overview of the diverse driving forces behind co-production, and their specific contexts and constraints in a variety of cosmopolitan urban contexts. Some of these include institutional and cross-sector barriers to co-production, the need for learning across diverse levels and contexts, and strategies for balancing scientific excellence with the needs of societal change. This book offers valuable lessons regarding the concrete implications and potential impact that co-production processes can have for different user groups, such as planners, politicians, researchers, business interests and NGOs in different urban development contexts.

Co-Production and Public Service Management: Citizenship, Governance and Public Services Management (Routledge Critical Studies in Public Management)
by Victor PestoffThis volume compiles a dozen essays, by one of the most prolific proponents of co-production as a solution for many of the challenges facing public services and democratic governance at the outset of the 21st Century. Co-production is considered a partnership between citizens and public service providers that is essential for meeting a growing number of social challenges, since neither the government nor citizens can solve them on their own. These challenges include, among other things, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public services in times of financial strain; increasing the legitimacy of the public sector after decades of questioning its ability with the spread of New Public Management; promoting social integration and cultural pluralism in increasingly diverse societies when millions of refugees and immigrants are on the move; tackling the threat of burgeoning populism following the rise of anti-immigrant and anti-global parties in many countries in recent years; and finally, finding viable solutions for meeting the growing needs of aging populations in many parts of the world. This volume addresses issues related to the successful development and implementation of a policy shift toward greater citizen participation in the design and delivery of the services they depend on in their daily lives and greater citizen involvement in resolving these tenacious problems, facilitated by the active support of governments across the globe. Moreover, it explores participatory public service management that empowers the front-line staff providing public services. Together with users/citizens they can insure the democratic governance of public service provision.

Coach statt Couch: Wie Coaching Menschen mit ADHS-Symptomen wirksam unterstützen kann (essentials)
by Regine HinkelmannRegine Hinkelmann stellt ein ADHS-Coaching-Konzept vor, das dazu beitragen soll, Adulte mit ADHS-Symptomen in ihrem lebens- und arbeitsweltlichen Umfeld zu unterstützen und zu stärken. Dazu legt sie einen an der ADHS-Symptomatik orientierten sechsphasigen Prozessverlauf sowie symptomspezifische Interventionen zur Bearbeitung der Kardinalsymptome dar und ordnet diese anhand einer Beschreibung der relevanten Beraterkompetenzen in einen Gesamtkontext ein. Obwohl es sich bei der Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit- und Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) um eine Symptomatik handelt, die mittlerweile einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt ist, konnten klassische medikamentöse und psychotherapeutische Behandlungsformen das verstärkte Auftreten von ADHS nicht verhindern. Insbesondere im Bereich der Arbeitswelt sehen sich die Betroffenen großen Herausforderungen und Schwierigkeiten ausgesetzt.

Coaching and Supervising Through Bereavement: A Practical Guide to Working with Grief and Loss
by Julia Menaul Maggie JoãoThis book presents a pragmatic guide for coaches and supervisors working with grief and bereavement, providing both useful case studies and practical techniques to aid professionals in embracing the complexity of working with these topics in a coaching context. Coaching and Supervising Through Bereavement clearly delineates the boundary between bereavement issues requiring specialist counselling and 'normal' bereavement topics within coaching. It addresses how to coach clients through all different forms of bereavement, not just through death but also other losses such as job loss and relationship loss, and enables coaches to shine a light on their own bereavement journeys for the benefits of themselves and their clients. The authors also offer a guide for coaching supervisors to aid the ethical and emotional support required for their own supervisees and themselves. This book debunks the myth that bereavement should not be discussed in coaching, and so will be a valuable resource for any practicing coach or supervisor of all levels of experience or expertise.
