Towards Person-Centred Care
Agency and the Role of International Regulation
One decisive action towards reconciling Artificial Inteligence (AI) and Human Development (HD) worldwide concerns the reorientation of directionality and the establishment of a set of principles for supranational regulations and coordination among countries. The objective of the paper is to reflect on which principles may guide politicians, policymakers, and practitioners in promoting the use of AI to foster Sustainable Human Development (SHD) an…
Halfway There, Long Way to Go
As we mark the anniversary of the publication of the 2030 Agenda mid-term report, the world's nations stand at a crossroads. While off-track in achieving most Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), multiple crises have further exposed deep inequalities and vulnerabilities in the current dominant approach centred on economic growth and resource allocations. In this editorial paper, scholars of the human development and capability association and ed…
Human Security in the Anthropocene
The idea of “human security” is gaining a new round of attention in the academic and policy agenda, as a new era of global changes is affecting people’s core capabilities. In this Policy Forum the “human security lens” engages with human development and the capability approach. It presents different perspectives of genuine action-oriented human security, and it aims to provide valuable insights for policy issues and recommendations in the current…
The Capability Approach, Empowerment and Participation
This book focuses on human development and development aid through the lens of the capability approach. The capability approach is applied to case studies and fieldwork to show its practical uses in poverty aid, disability aid, intervention, and international and regional development
Local Communities and Capability Evolution
The capability approach has the power to examine how different societal arrangements can be pivotal for the fulfilment and/or deprivations of individual human capabilities and human development [Sen, A. K. 1999. Development as Freedom. Oxford: Oxford University Press]. However, little analysis has been so far devoted to the centrality of the local community for human capabilities, which constitutes the most proximate socio-institutional setting t…
A Philosophical Examination of Social Justice and Child Poverty
Those engaged in debates about child poverty and social justice will find Gottfried Schweiger and Gunter Graf’s book useful and compelling. Their book is the definitive outcome of a \nmajor research project on “Social Justice and Child Poverty” run by the Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research at the University of Salzburg
Enabling Ecosystems for Social Enterprises and Social Innovation
The aim of this contribution is to present advice on how to create an enabling ecosystem for social enterprises (SEs) and promote their social innovation capacities. These policy suggestions are based on data analysed thought the Sustainable Human Development paradigm and a Capability Approach perspective. \nIn recent years, international organizations and governments have begun to recognize that SEs are capable of implementing innovative solutio…
Agency and Participation in Childhood and Youth
Agency and Participation in Childhood and Youth presents new critical engagement in conceptualising the roles of youth agency and participation in education, development and the pursuit of social justice. Theoretically, the book is framed within the paradigm of the capability approach, initially developed by Nobel Laureate, Amartya Sen, and further differentiated by others, including philosopher, Martha Nussbaum. The book unravels the complex rel…
Opportunity Gap Analysis
This article explores the importance of and value added by applying the capability approach to strategize, design, monitor or evaluate development initiatives, by operationalizing this agency-oriented (participatory) and opportunity-based perspective and by widening standard methods to deal with new informational spaces. In the first part of the paper a dynamic analytical framework on capabilities expansion/reduction processes — which places at t…
The Missing Dimensions of Children's Well-being and Well-becoming in Education Systems
The objectives of this paper are twofold. The first is to consider how the capability approach can help rethink the policy goals of educational systems by analysing well-being and well-becoming from an individual and societal point of view. The second is to explore Philosophy for Children as a suitable pedagogical approach to promote capable agents and enhance critical, creative and caring thinking. The paper is divided into four parts. After a b…
Children and the Capability Approach
Exploring a wide variety of case studies and developmental issues from a capability perspective, this book is an original contribution to both development and children's studies that raises a strong c
Asian Informal Workers
This thoroughly researched volume surveys the nature and extent of 'informal' work in Asia, which is a powerful and under-studied force in the region. \nAfter over half a century of development, even in the fast growing economies of Asia, the formal sector, and industrial jobs have grown rather slowly, and most non-agricultural employment growth has occurred in the informal economy. At the same time as this, there has been a feminization of infor…
