Family Policy and the Organisation of Childcare
Author: Borbála Kovács
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331978661X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
This book explains and theorises the ways in which family policy instruments come to shape the routine care arrangements of young children. Drawing on interviews with close to a hundred parents from very different walks of life in urban and rural Romania, the book provides a rich account of the care arrangement transitions these parents experience during their children’s first five years of life. The influence of family policies emerges as complex and uneven, affecting childcare decisions both directly and indirectly by contributing to the reproduction and legitimation of age-related hierarchies of care ideals. These cultural artefacts, reflective of both longstanding institutional legacies and recent policy innovations between 2006 and 2015, are the prism through which mothers and fathers from diverse backgrounds view and make decisions about their children’s care. This unique volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of childcare, its organisation and family policy, specifically in post-socialist contexts.

Post-socialist Informalities
Author: Abel Polese
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351585185
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book is a comprehensive collection of key scholarship on informality from the whole post-socialist region. From Bosnia to Central Asia, passing through Russia and Azerbaijan, the contributions to this volume illustrate the multi-faceted and complex nature of informality, while demonstrating the growing scholarly and policy debates that have developed around the understanding of informality. In contrast to approaches which tend to classify informality as ‘bad’ or ‘transitional’ – meaning that modernity will make it disappear – this edited volume concentrates on dynamics and mechanisms to understand and explain informality, while also debating its relationship with the market and society. The authors seek to explain informality beyond a mere monetaristic/economistic approach, rediscovering its interconnection with social phenomena to propose a more holistic interpretation of the meaning of informality and its influence in various spheres of life. They do this by exploring the evolving role of informal practices in the post-socialist region, and by focusing on informality as a social organisation determinant but also looking at the way it reshapes emergent social resistance against symbolic and real political order(s). This book was originally published as two special issues, of Caucasus Survey and the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe.

Book Description
"Hattery′s book is an important contribution to this literature. The book is engaging and is well written. I would recommend this book and encourage Hattery to continue examination of this construct." - Psychology of Women Quarterly Women, Work, and Family: Balancing and Weaving is a fascinating examination of the extraordinary juggling skills of working mothers who balance their obligations to both work and family. Angela Hattery goes beyond a mere description of women′s conflicts of interest and seeks to understand the decision-making process through which they accomplish this balancing. Through intensive interviews with 30 married women, all with children under 2 years of age, Hattery uncovers a remarkable range of ways in which these women weave together the complex strands of their lives. The data in the volume are examined from a number of theoretical standpoints, including structural theory, motherhood theory, and feminist theory. A key variable that runs through the data is economic need, which has an obvious effect on work patterns. Women, Work, and Family will make a major contribution to family studies and will illuminate the difficult choices that women make within the family/work context.

The Kimberley Arrangement
Author: Theodore Josiha Haig
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 168289259X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Professor Kruger was a very smart man, faithful to the Broderbund and the Afrikaner cause to maintain white Afrikaner superiority in the regime while suppressing any ideology designed to undermine their values, customs, traditions and political power in South Africa. His trips to Panama were motivated by an over-arching need to continue to live peacefully and comfortably, spiritually and financially, within the regime. He enjoyed his professorship and status at the University of Stellenbosch for the past twenty-years because of his ability to use the university community as a recruiting ground for generating future intellectuals, entrepreneurs, lawyers and politicians that ultimately supported the Apartheid regime. De Beers the diamond industry's giant, through the Broderbund, wanted to expand into the United States markets and no doubt, Arthur McLaughlin had fallen victim to the same pattern. And within the context of the university environment that wasn't a bad thing. He just had to protect his sources of influence because ultimately he was fueling a diamond empire that would reward him handsomely, financially. However, it was Paul Kruger, the primary antagonist of the novel, which uses his influence, throughout the story, to gain power and control within the diamond empire of Arthur McLaughlin. Committed to financing the Apartheid Regime in South Africa through the Panama Scheme, an illegal way of smuggling diamonds into the United States, Professor Kruger would not let anything get in the way of this financial resource even after Arthur's untimely death, including the kidnapping and disappearance of Arthur' daughter, Janette McLaughlin. Although, Arthur's son John had posed the greatest threat to Paul Kruger after he inherited the company.
