This paper critically explores Chris Argyris’ concern for human development as found in his organizational writings. Specifically, his focus on a personl development approach to human growth in organization is critically assessed as to its prospects to facilitate behavior needed for “public” organization. Argyris’ theoretical emphasis upon “self-development” as explicated is unlikely to provide for social consciousness and political action by everyday participants of organization. His mode of “self-development” is a perspective which is fundamentally grounded in the psychological and moral subjectively of the individual. As such, Argyris’ developmental mode is one which primarily promotes consciousness and action of self-interest rather than social involvement. A more authentically public type of organization requires a developmental mode which engenders democratic action toward the shared problems and common needs experienced in everyday organizational reality. 相似文献

This article examines the origins and evolution of IMF lending practices through the lens of sociological theories about organizations.
Organizations founded on multilateral agreements are prone to having unusually ambiguous mandates. With such loose formal
bureaucratic moorings, organizations like the IMF tend to be influenced by the dominant ideas and interests in their environments.

Summary and Conclusions It has been argued that traditional Third World reliance on commodity export production and trade as a means to accumulate
savings for development is increasingly perceived as flawed. Post-World War II investment in light manufacturing by Western
firms in the Periphery has also been characterized as an inadequate means of capital accumulation. Nationalist and socialist
academics and political leaders in the Third World are voicing interest in food agriculture as a mechanism for economic growth;
internal demand for food and other basic goods is considered a potentially more lucrative source of savings than international
demand for raw materials and foreign investment have proven to be. Political trends in the Core area, exemplified in Left
ideologies, and in church and voluntary organizations' strategies for giving, seem to reinforce Third World fostering of food
self-sufficiency as a strategy for development.
It is important to recall that intellectual trends, even if broadly based, do not necessarily represent or cause social change.
The idea of Third World agricultural self-sufficiency is more pervasive than is its implementation. Nevertheless, current
speculation about food self-reliance and its dynamic effect on economic growth in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, is new
in development theory, and therefore worthy of note. Further study may reveal the depth of present interest in agricultural
self-sufficiency and its likely impact on development planning. 相似文献

Liberalization policies implemented in semi-industrial countries are based on a common theoretical framework and embody a standard set of policy instruments. Yet, countries differ widely in terms of their capacity to implement liberalization programs, the extent to which liberalization programs are applied as measured by deviations from “orthodox norms,” and, finally, the degree of success generated. The article proceeds from the premise that the institutional characteristics and the policy environment of a country are of crucial significance in accounting for both the nature of the adjustment process and the subsequent economic performance. The organization of the state and society as well as the degree of centralization of the state constitute key components of the domestic structures that help to illuminate why we observe differential responses to a common external shock, namely, an identical economic strategy. Turkey’s patrimonial state tradition has strongly conditioned and modified the nature of economic liberalization as well as the process of democratic consolidation during the 1980s. This article seeks to elucidate the fundamental paradox concerning the weakness and vulnerability of a highly centralized state which, in turn, embodies negative implications for both economic liberalization and the process of democratic consolidation. 相似文献

Based on qualitative fieldwork in the Sunni village of Bebnine, located between Tripoli and the northern Syrian border, this paper explores how displaced Syrians adjust to life in Lebanon under the threat and actuality of violence. The marginalised refugees do not only appear as passive victims of crisis but draw on a diverse repertoire of coping strategies to deal with displacement and dispossession. Self-settled Syrians have exploited social networks, savings, aid, education and work opportunities to create a new livelihood system for themselves. Nevertheless, everyday life in Lebanon is not conceptualised as a safe zone. Syrian refugees are increasingly being used as scapegoats for the poor economy and political challenges in the country. While practices of hospitality towards the Syrian refugees were widespread, ambivalent feelings and prejudice frequently surfaced. Refugees expressed concern that the Syrian civil war would escalate into further sectarian violence in Lebanon, pushing the country closer to war. 相似文献

This article investigates the limits of mediation during the Arab Spring by focusing on the case of Syria. It examines international mediation attempts by states, non-governmental organisation, and regional and international organisations. Drawing largely on Bercovitch and Gartner’s framework of mediation outcomes, the study suggests that the directive strategy applied by Staffan de Mistura through the United Nations–Arab League joint effort has achieved the closest outcome towards a full settlement. Mediation in the Syrian crisis has been limited by disagreement among key actors, lack of commitment and of coordinated efforts, questions of representation and legitimacy, and lack of neutrality and of inclusiveness. Despite its limits, mediation has been able to achieve important gains such as the longest and broadest ceasefire, access to the majority of besieged areas, considerable de-escalation of violence, commitment among key actors towards a resolution, and resolution of incidents of hostage crises. Despite its limits, mediation is likely to play an important role vis-à-vis the Arab Spring. 相似文献
