ABSTRACT The aftermath of over 50 years of uninterrupted conflict is not only underdevelopment and casualties. It is also the loss of social ties, the mistrust, and the difficulties to build a society where victims live with those who once were their perpetrators. These difficulties are many times linked to strong negative affect, prejudice, and skepticism towards forgiveness and reintegration. This paper uses the 2016-Americas Barometer database to provide empirical evidence of how Colombians’ attitudes towards the FARC-EP shape the probability of believing in forgiveness and supporting the reintegration process. We find that for demobilization to be successful a society needs (i) to reduce the perception of danger when surrounded by former rebels, (ii) to enhance perceptions of friendliness and hard-working on behalf of the ex-combatants, and (iii) to be more educated and allow the victims to speak up.
50多年不间断冲突的后果不仅仅是发展不足和人员伤亡。这也是社会关系的丧失,不信任,以及建立一个受害者与曾经的肇事者生活在一起的社会的困难。这些困难很多时候与强烈的负面影响、偏见和对宽恕和重新融入社会的怀疑有关。本文使用2016年美洲晴雨表数据库提供经验证据,证明哥伦比亚人对哥伦比亚革命武装力量-人民军的态度如何影响相信宽恕和支持重返社会进程的可能性。我们发现,要使复员工作取得成功,一个社会需要(1)在被前叛乱分子包围时减少对危险的感知,(2)增强对代表前战斗人员的友好和勤奋的感知,以及(3)接受更多教育并允许受害者说出自己的想法。

Age and covid fatality 年龄和病死率
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/21665095.2021.1967769

ABSTRACT It is widely acknowledged that the distribution of Covid cases and that of Covid deaths by age constitute a factor that deserves to be taken into account in assessing and comparing quantitative indicators of Covid-related mortality. The single most widely employed measure of Covid mortality is the so-called Case Fatality Rate (CFR), which is just the ratio of Covid deaths to Covid cases. The CFR is essentially a measure of central tendency. The present note outlines a procedure, drawing on the standard literature on income inequality, for deriving a measure of Covid mortality which supplements information on average mortality with information on its dispersion across a population’s age cohorts.
摘要人们普遍认为,新冠肺炎病例和新冠肺炎死亡病例的年龄分布是评估和比较新冠相关死亡率定量指标时值得考虑的因素。衡量新冠肺炎死亡率的唯一最广泛的指标是所谓的病例死亡率(CFR),它只是新冠肺炎死亡人数与新冠肺炎病例的比率。CFR本质上是衡量中心趋势的指标。本说明根据关于收入不平等的标准文献概述了一个程序,用于得出新冠肺炎死亡率的衡量标准,该程序用人口年龄组的平均死亡率信息补充了平均死亡率信息。

ABSTRACT This paper shares findings from a detailed empirical analysis of seven development projects in Kenya that supported remote pastoral communities facing food insecurity and other difficulties linked to environmental degradation and climate change. The projects sought to address these challenges by trialing various livelihood innovations in partnership with communities. These project activities were assessed using a tailored cost–benefit analysis methodology to identify those offering the best use of scarce funds, thus informing future policy and programing for such areas. This evidence suggests that (a) the difficulties communities face are creating a desperate situation, and (b) some of the innovations trialed hold promise while others are problematic. The evidence presented includes an array of local voices that vividly convey community-level dynamics and prospects. This evidence is set in context using the literatures on human security and its wider impacts, notably migration from the Sahel. This analysis found the circumstances of pastoral communities can significantly impact neighboring regions, with ongoing instability posing a threat while smart interventions that create local opportunities offer more synergistic outcomes. The paper concludes by calling for greater recognition of the options facing such communities and their wider significance as a basis for scaled up support measures.
摘要本文分享了对肯尼亚七个发展项目的详细实证分析结果,这些项目支持面临粮食不安全和其他与环境退化和气候变化有关的困难的偏远牧民社区。这些项目试图通过与社区合作试验各种生计创新来应对这些挑战。这些项目活动是使用量身定制的成本效益分析方法进行评估的,以确定哪些活动能最好地利用稀缺资金,从而为这些领域的未来政策和计划提供信息。这一证据表明,(a)社区面临的困难正在造成绝望的局面,(b)一些试验的创新有希望,而另一些则有问题。所提供的证据包括一系列生动传达社区层面动态和前景的当地声音。这一证据是在使用有关人类安全及其更广泛影响的文献的背景下提出的,尤其是来自萨赫勒地区的移民。这项分析发现,牧民社区的情况会对邻近地区产生重大影响,持续的不稳定构成威胁,而创造当地机会的明智干预措施会带来更具协同效应的结果。该文件最后呼吁更多地认识到这些社区面临的选择及其作为扩大支持措施基础的更广泛意义。

Land scarcity has frequently been cited as the primary barrier preventing rural households from pursuing better livelihoods in Vietnam and other developing societies. In this paper, we investigate the role of landlessness and landholdings in the choice of livelihoods and in household income in the Red River Delta, the most densely populated region in Vietnam. Using data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey, our cluster analysis classifies five livelihoods pursued by local households, namely informal wage-earning jobs, formal wageearning jobs, nonfarm self-employment, agriculture, and non-labor livelihoods. Non-laboring, agricultural, or informal wage-earning households earn less per capita income on average than formal wage-earning or nonfarm self-employment households, according to both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Our regression analysis demonstrates that land scarcity is not a significant obstacle preventing rural people from seeking gainful livelihoods in the region. The finding suggests that improving education and supporting non-farm activities should be highpriority government policies for local households with limited land and education. Such policies are expected to help them not only transform their livelihoods but also improve their economic well-being. ARTICLE HISTORY Received 25 May 2021 Accepted 16 October 2021
土地稀缺经常被认为是阻碍越南和其他发展中国家农村家庭追求更好生计的主要障碍。在本文中,我们调查了在越南人口最稠密的红河三角洲地区,无地和土地所有权在生计选择和家庭收入中的作用。利用2018年越南家庭生活水平调查的数据,我们的聚类分析对当地家庭追求的五种生计进行了分类,即非正规的赚取工资的工作、正规的打工工作、非农自营职业、农业和非劳动力生计。根据描述性和推断性统计分析,非劳动、农业或非正规工资收入家庭的平均人均收入低于正规工资收入或非农自营职业家庭。我们的回归分析表明,土地稀缺并不是阻碍农村人民在该地区寻求有收入生计的重大障碍。研究结果表明,改善教育和支持非农业活动应该是政府对土地和教育有限的当地家庭的高度优先政策。预计这些政策不仅能帮助他们改变生计,还能改善他们的经济福祉。文章历史记录2021年5月25日收到2021年10月16日接受

Health expenditure and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa: an empirical investigation 撒哈拉以南非洲的卫生支出和经济增长:一项实证调查
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/21665095.2021.1892500

ABSTRACT In this study, the causal relationship between health expenditure and economic growth is examined using panel data from sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2008–2017. The study decomposes health expenditure into two components: public health expenditure and private health expenditure. In order to establish whether the causal relationship between health expenditure and economic growth depends on a country's level of income, the study divides the studied countries into two groups: low-income countries and middle-income countries. In order to address the omission-of-variable bias, which is associated with some of the previous studies, the study incorporates life expectancy as an intermittent variable between health expenditure and economic growth – thereby creating a system of multivariate equations. Using a panel ECM-based Granger-causality model, the study found that when public expenditure is used as a proxy, a distinct unidirectional causality from health expenditure to economic growth is found to prevail in low-income countries, but no causality is found to exist in middle-income countries. However, when private health expenditure is used, a short-run causality from economic growth to health expenditure is found to prevail in middle-income countries, but no causality is found to exist in low-income countries. Policy implications are discussed.
摘要在本研究中,使用撒哈拉以南非洲国家2008-2017年的面板数据,检验了卫生支出与经济增长之间的因果关系。该研究将卫生支出分解为两个部分:公共卫生支出和私人卫生支出。为了确定卫生支出与经济增长之间的因果关系是否取决于一个国家的收入水平,该研究将被研究国家分为两组:低收入国家和中等收入国家。为了解决与之前的一些研究相关的变量偏差的遗漏问题,该研究将预期寿命作为医疗支出和经济增长之间的间歇性变量,从而创建了一个多变量方程系统。使用基于面板ECM的Granger因果关系模型,研究发现,当公共支出被用作代理时,从医疗支出到经济增长的明显单向因果关系在低收入国家普遍存在,但在中等收入国家不存在因果关系。然而,当使用私人卫生支出时,从经济增长到卫生支出的短期因果关系在中等收入国家普遍存在,但在低收入国家不存在因果关系。讨论了政策影响。

Social innovation in a post-conflict setting: examining external factors affecting social service NGOs 冲突后环境下的社会创新:影响社会服务非政府组织的外部因素
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/21665095.2021.1950020

ABSTRACT While the study of the influence of external environmental factors on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is well explored in the international development literature, the importance of these factors on NGOs’ transformative roles in a post-conflict development setting remains less understood. Nevertheless, external environmental factors could have a crucial impact on NGOs in such a context, especially when NGOs want to integrate a socially innovative approach into the social services they provide. Using survey data of staff members of social service NGOs from post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 120) and applying resource dependence theory, this study identifies three environmental factors of great importance for NGOs when integrating a socially innovative approach: secured financing, the willingness of service users to participate in innovative services, and the sustainability of the implemented services. By contrast, policy and regulatory frameworks and public institutions’ openness are of moderate importance. Licensing and accreditation, service quality standards, and tax breaks are of even less importance. The results contribute to the understanding of the importance of external factors in the development of social innovations by the NGO sector from the perspective of the post-conflict context.
虽然外部环境因素对非政府组织(ngo)影响的研究在国际发展文献中得到了很好的探讨,但这些因素对非政府组织在冲突后发展环境中的变革作用的重要性仍然知之甚少。然而,在这种情况下,外部环境因素可能对非政府组织产生至关重要的影响,特别是当非政府组织希望将社会创新方法纳入其提供的社会服务中时。本研究利用波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那冲突后社会服务非政府组织工作人员的调查数据(N = 120),并运用资源依赖理论,确定了非政府组织在整合社会创新方法时非常重要的三个环境因素:有保障的融资、服务使用者参与创新服务的意愿和实施服务的可持续性。相比之下,政策和监管框架以及公共机构的开放性的重要性不高。执照和认证、服务质量标准和税收减免的重要性就更小了。研究结果有助于从冲突后环境的角度理解外部因素对非政府组织社会创新发展的重要性。

Facilitating genuine community participation: can development learn from design? 促进真正的社区参与:发展能从设计中学习吗?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/21665095.2021.1884112

ABSTRACT Despite decades of debate with respect to facilitating ‘bottom up’ solutions and increased ‘beneficiary participation’ in development, there is little evidence to suggest genuine intellectual exchange between donors and ‘beneficiaries’. Nearly seven decades have witnessed only relatively minor shifts in established power hierarchies, and the sector remains one dominated largely by ‘top-down’ approaches to decision-making. This paper posits that development, as both a concept and a practice, could be enriched significantly if academics and practitioners paid closer attention to the participatory aspects of design methodologies. While design is associated largely with commercial activity, in the hands of more radical designers its methods can be used to generate more participatory ways of thinking and ‘doing’. With this in mind, we consider the extent to which, by employing aspects of design methodologies, there might be scope for alternative approaches to the ways in which development is conceived and practised.
摘要尽管几十年来,关于促进“自下而上”的解决方案和增加“受益人对发展的参与”一直存在争议,但几乎没有证据表明捐助者和“受益人”之间存在真正的智力交流。近70年来,既定的权力等级制度只发生了相对较小的变化,该行业仍然主要由“自上而下”的决策方法主导。本文认为,如果学者和从业者更加关注设计方法的参与方面,发展作为一种概念和实践都可以得到极大的丰富。虽然设计在很大程度上与商业活动有关,但在更激进的设计师手中,它的方法可以用来产生更具参与性的思考和“做”方式。考虑到这一点,我们考虑通过采用设计方法论的各个方面,在多大程度上可以为构想和实践发展的方式提供替代方法。

With this in mind, we consider the extent to which, by employing aspects of design methodologies, there might be scope for alternative approaches to the ways in which development is conceived and practised.","PeriodicalId":37781,"journal":{"name":"Development Studies Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"63 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21665095.2021.1884112","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45540127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the importance of e-commerce adoption and entrepreneurial orientation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME)’s performance. A purposive sampling procedure was employed to recruit 150 MSME’s entrepreneurs from three districts of Jambi province, Indonesia. The findings show that e-commerce adoption significantly affects the sustainability of MSME business performance, while entrepreneurship orientation moderates these two variables. The findings could be used to identify and map customers’ preferences of e-commerce adoption and entrepreneurship orientation in order to improve MSME’s performance. Furthermore, these findings could be a source of information for the government in formulating policy concerning the MSME.
