Garments without Guilt?: Global Labour Justice and Ethical Codes in Sri Lankan Apparels
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sri Lanka's apparel sector holds an enviable place in the imaginary of its competitors for having a niche position amongst global retailers, given its claims of producing 'garments without guilt'. Exploitative labour conditions are not part of the industry's portfolio – ethicality, eco-friendly production and unblemished conditions of work are. Sri Lanka's transition away from a protracted ethnic war has meant that the industry portrays itself as investing in the former war zone to create jobs without reflection on how its vaunted mantle, the deployment of ethical codes effectively, themselves may be under duress. This book uses an analytical framing informed by labour and feminist perspectives to explore how labour struggles in the post-1977 period in Sri Lanka provided important resistance to capitalist processes and continue to shape the industry both within and outside of the shop floor. It studies contextual moments in the country's recent history to rupture the dominant narrative and record the centrality of labour in the success of the country's apparel industry.

Kepemimpinan Jawa. Perintah halus, pemerintahan otoriter : (Leadership on Java. Gentle hints, authoritarian rule)
- 2004
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Examines how leaders on Java rise to power, stay in power and pass their power on. Most of these essays deal with rural power but a few address more general issues of leadership. [In Indonesian:] Buku ini ditulis oleh para akademisi dari berbagai disiplin ilmu sosial, sebagian menyoal kepemimpinan di wilayah Jawa pedesaan, dan sebagian menyinggung isu kepemimpinan pada umumnya. Pembaca akan diantar untuk menelusuri implementasi kepemimpinan Jawa hingga pada masa kepemimpinan pasca-Suharto. Bagaimana wujud kepemimpinan Indonesia masa depan? Demokrasi yang didambakan pun tak lepas dari interupsi yang mencelakakan, yakni godaan kepemimpinan berorientasi sentralistik, yang lebih simplel dan efektif pengendaliannya, namun mengandung limbah koruptif, kolusif dan nepotis (KKN) yang berpotensi menghancurkan kesatuan Indonesia.

Everyday Choices: The Role of Competing Authorities and Social Institutions in Politics and Development
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Scholars and practitioners seek development solutions through the engineering and strengthening of state institutions. Yet, the state is not the only or the primary arena shaping how citizens, service providers and state officials engage in actions that constitute politics and development. These individuals are members of religious orders, ethnic communities, and other groups that make claims on them, creating incentives that shape their actions. Recognizing how individuals experience these claims and view the choices before them is essential to understanding political processes and development outcomes. This Element establishes a framework elucidating these forces, which is key to knowledge accumulation, designing future research and effective programming. Taking an institutional approach, this Element explains how the salience of arenas of authority associated with various communities and the nature of social institutions within them affect politics and development. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
