Challenging Global Development: Towards Decoloniality and Justice
This open access book seeks to promote and sustain new forms of solidarity and conviviality that work towards achieving social justice
Diasporic Philanthropy and the Sense of Belonging as an Expression of Diasporic Cultural Identity and Inclusion
This study examines how performing diaspora philanthropy in the country of origin (Morocco) and the experience of integration and inclusion in the country of residence (Netherlands) influences the sense of belonging amongst cross-border diasporic philanthropists. The examination combines theories on migration, cross-border diasporic philanthropy and the sense of belonging. Based on a qualitative exploration of the perspectives and motives of indi…
Government and civil society organizations: Close but comfortable? Lessons from creating the Dutch “Strategic Partnerships for Lobby and Advocacy”
Ownership dynamics in local multi-stakeholder initiatives
The nature and dynamics of ownership are often neglected features of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs). Seventeen cases in four countries illustrate characteristics of narrow government or broad societal ownership and forces for change over time. Refinements to the application of Gaventa’s Power Cube are used to analyse such shifts from the perspective of invited and closed spaces for participation. Observations about ways in which stakeholder…
Navigating Polycentric Governance from a Citizen’s Perspective: The Rising New Middle Classes Respond
The Choice of the New Latin American Middle Classes: Sharing or Self-Caring
Guillermo O'Donnell's 'Thoughtful Wishing' about Democracy and Regime Change
we must analyze the relationships between two groups typically present in such [authoritarian] regimes: in the vocabulary of O'Donnell's original essay for this project, 'hard-liners' (duros) and 'soft-liners' (blandos).The first are those who, contrary to the consensus of this period of world history, believe that the perpetuation of authoritarian rule is possible and desirable. . . .As for the soft-liners, they may be indistinguishable from the…

Relocating Civil Society in a Politics of Civic-Driven Change
Politics is central to development discourse, yet remains peripheral. Over some twenty years, a civil-society narrative has not fulfilled its potential to 'bring politics back in'. Reasons can be found in conceptual confusion, in selectivity in donor thinking, in policies towards civil society and in the growth-driven political economy of NGO-ism. Remedies for the political lacunae are being sought through a focus on rights, citizenship and leade…
Transforming Activisms 2010: Exploring Ways and Waves
The waves of civic activism unfolding since late 2010 at a global level are striking. In major cities of the world, streets and squares have been filled with self-organized citizens demanding attention for social and political rights. The protest images have been televised, downloaded and quickly distributed - seemingly diverse sites and types of activisms being rapidly connected and speaking to each other. Does this scale and momentum signal a t…

Cities of Extremes
Modern cities have always been the locus of both inequality and opportunity. However, neoliberal policies pursued since the 1980s have intensified urban disparities. Cities are increasingly shaped more by the logic of the market than the needs of their inhabitants. This article, which introduces a collection of papers on the topic, examines the implications of the neoliberal turn for the 'right to the city' as the fundamental tenet of urban citiz…
