Seeking Equilibrium While the Debate Continues
This article aims to report on research that explored the role of perceptions of Directors of Religious Studies (DRSs) in Catholic secondary schools in the Hamilton Diocese, Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ). The DRS position was established to preserve the Catholic special character of these schools after integration with the state education system with the passing of the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act of 1975. This investigation was resea…
HIV/Aids prevention
This paper builds upon field research in Ajegunle, Nigeria, which suggests that effective HIV/AIDS prevention requires a much higher degree of independent community participation. In exploring ways to achieve this, we suggest that assessing community strengths provides positive scope for understanding and utilising a much wider variety of HIV/AIDS responses which have not been previously used in the context of community development. Community-bas…
Talking past each other
This study investigates the relationship between HIV/AIDS prevention programmes and the lived realities of people most ‘at risk’ in the poor community of Ajegunle in Nigeria’s Lagos State. While providers, international NGOs and their client NGOs, emphasize Western medical models for HIV/ AIDS intervention and prevention, ‘at-risk’ groups expressed strong feelings of powerlessness over socio-cultural and political conditions affecting them. We su…
The Challenge of Community Work in a Global Economy
This article examines how and why five major stakeholders-international financial organizations; NGOs; governmental entities; multinational corporations; and community development projects- have failed to significantly and uniformly reduce aggregate global poverty. The article uses the results of a case study of HIV/ AIDS prevention in a low-income Nigerian city to argue that effective action must involve local and global stakeholders in collabor…
Bureaucratic Initiative in Capitalist New Zealand
New Zealand's position in the world economic order and the form of its state determine the limits and possibilities of state initiative. One such initiative-the Accident Compensation Act of 1972-has been something of a revolution in social policy, as it abolished the whole field of tort law with respect to accident injury, covers all accident-related costs for all citizens, and provides earnings-related compensation for all earnings lost. The pap…
