They financed and managed essential social services, such as health and education, at zero cost to the state. This book informs us about the history of waqfs in the vast Islamic world from Morocco the Philippines. The period covered extends from the birth of Islam to the present. Approaching the history of waqfs as an economic historian and an economist, Professor Çizakça argues that an eventual and much needed waqf reform in the Islamic world demands a thorough understanding of the system as it existed in history, hence this book. This will be followed by another volume assessing the historical evolution and latest developments in Western non-profit institutions. The author believes that policy recommendations for a thorough waqf reform should be made by taking into consideration both Islamic and Western experience., Bogaziiversitesi Yayinlari, 2000, New Delhi, India: Orient BlackSwan/Permanent Black, 2011. If a country’s Gross Domestic Product increases each year, but so does the percentage of its people deprived of basic education, health care, and other opportunities, is that country really making progress? If we rely on conventional economic indicators, can we ever grasp how the world’s billions of individuals are really managing? In this powerful critique, Martha Nussbaum argues that our dominant theories of development have given us policies that ignore our most basic human needs for dignity and self-respect. For the past twenty-five years, Nussbaum has been working on an alternative model to assess human development: the Capabilities Approach. She and her colleagues begin with the simplest of questions: What is each person actually able to do and to be? What real opportunities are available to them? The Capabilities Approach to human progress has until now been expounded only in specialized works. Creating Capabilities, however, affords anyone interested in issues of human development a wonderfully lucid account of the structure and practical implications of an alternative model. It demonstrates a path to justice for both humans and nonhumans, weighs its relevance against other philosophical stances, and reveals the value of its universal guidelines even as it acknowledges cultural difference.Printed Pages: 256.. Hardcover. New/New., Orient BlackSwan/Permanent Black, 2011, 2013. Hardcover. New. Of late, the situation of elderly women has globally attracted the attention of the civil society. Not only do they tend to outnumber their male counterparts, but also their morbidity pattern economic dependence and social situation entitle them to a concerted policy and programme attention. The situation of elderly women in India is no different. And added to this is the issue of vulnerability. This calls for an objective analysis of their situation which would, in turn, pave the way of effective intervention strategies.This in view, this book focuses on a cross-section of elderly women in nine states of India having a high proportion of BPL hourseholds, including Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh. Going deep into their socio-demographic background, it addresses issues pertaining to their livelihood, nutrition and health, interpersonal relations and vulnerability risks. It also presents a critical assessment of the awareness and availability of existing social security schemes meant to shield the elderly women from undeserved want and vulnerability. The book will be of interest to NGOs, social activists and researchers, as well as to policy-makers, social planners and social welfare functionaries.
