Operationalising participatory research and farmer-to-farmer extension: the Kamayoq in Peru

While rural poverty is endemic in the Andean region, structural adjustment programmes have led to a dismemberment of agricultural research and extension services so that they are unable to serve the needs of smallholder farmers. The NGO Practical Action has been working in the Andes to address farmers' veterinary and agriculture needs. The work has included the training of farmer-to-farmer extension agents, known locally as Kamayoq. The Kamayoq have encouraged farmer participatory research, and local farmers pay them for their veterinary and crop advisory services in cash or in kind. The Kamayoq model is largely an unsubsidised approach to the provision of appropriate technical services and encouragement of farmer participation. The model also illustrates that, in the context of encouraging farmer participation and innovation, NGOs have advantages over research organisations because of their long-term presence, ability to establish trust with local farmers, and their emphasis on social and community processes.     

社会制度中的良善生活——马克思和杜威的伦理学构架

马克思和杜威的伦理学都强调道德是具体社会制度中的生活形式,这一观点既摆脱为伦理学寻求形而上学根源的困境,又指明了良善生活可能具有的内容。同时,社会制度包容不同的良善生活形式,认可了伦理价值的多元性;社会制度也排斥那些不道德的生活形式,它限定着良善生活的评价标准。     

论人本管理在寿险营销中的应用误区

人本管理，简单地概括就是“以人为本”核心理念在管理实践中的具体应用，其效果体现为内部员工对企业忠诚度的提高和企业外部良好社会形象的塑造。寿险营销无论从管理的形式上还是管理的内容上，都体现了人本管理，但从人性假设与制度基础两个方面来看，目前人本管理在寿险营销中的效果却与人本管理的目标相悖。

New forms of environmental governance? A case study of Costa Rican environmental NGOs

Increasingly development theorists and practitioners view NGOs as catalysts of sustainable development. NGOs have been regarded as champions of democratisation and promoters of new ways of engaging in politics, with considerable influence on the development of civil society and new partnerships in environmental and social advocacy. This article analyses the ways in which Costa Rican environmental NGOs (ENGOs) engage in politics, by focusing on their perceptions of their roles in environmental governance and in representation of civil society. The results of this study suggest that the ENGOs' ways of engaging in politics differ little from traditional forms of governance, while their conceptions of engaging in politics without being political are novel. While most ENGOs had no clear conception of the stakeholders whom they were supposed to be representing, the notion of representativeness is complex and should be revisited.     

终结论之终结

“意识形态终结论”、“历史终结论”的叙事中,暗含的寓意是指西方式的自由民主制度式是惟一不可替代的模式,历史因此已发展到终点而宣告终结。这些终结论是与新的冷战思维、单向度的决定论以及文化帝国主义分不开的,充分暴露了他们以西方价值观为中心的思想倾向。终结论本身就是一种特殊的元叙事,必将因新的历史事实而宣告自身的终结。

Civil Service Reform in Latin America: External Referents Versus Own Capacities

In the context of state reform and democratisation in Latin America, reinforcing public institutions becomes critical to sustaining and consolidating realised gains. In this area, civil service reforms are critical. But civil service reform initiatives in Latin American countries were designed with different degrees of compatibility with countries’ administrative traditions and with the role played by the civil service within the political system. The results of different initiatives are described in a brief review of six key features of nine Latin American civil services. Discussion of these results allows us to draw conclusions about the capacity to generate learning dynamics. A new conception of the civil service and its role in the political system appears more evident, unless the required political consensus for implementing and consolidating the new reform strategy for most Latin American public administrations is not confirmed.
