Описание:

This book examines approaches and responses to working with the asylum-seeking, refugee and migrant communities in Ireland. Through their experiences, analyses and activist accounts, contributors name direct provision as a system that facilitates the marginalization and dehumanizing of people. In making visible some of the undocumented challenges to direct provision, the co-operation and engagement between local and migrant communities, and the very real and moving experiences of living in such conditions, this publication forms a part of the ongoing challenge to direct provision. It calls for a reconsideration of the infallibility of the reductionist-dominant narrative that reduces responsibility to care and protect human life, to narrow economic considerations, and calls on the State to recognize its duty of care in its fullest conceptualization. While analysing through the lens of care, the reductionist and repressive State policies and practices are revealed. Most emphasis is placed on the reactions and resilience of the asylum–seeking community, through their numerous acts of resistance, supported by a significant cohort of friends and activists within and outwith the direct provision system.

Описание: The provision of public services -- such as health care, education, sanitation and criminal justice -- is a key task for government. People care about public services and depend on them being delivered well. Public services provide the most common interface between people and the state, and their functioning shapes peoples sense of trust in and expectations of government. At a national level, public services underpin human welfare and economic growth and need to be delivered with integrity, centred around citizens, and responsive to their needs, particularly the needs of the most vulnerable. Promoting greater transparency and enabling ordinary citizens to assess the quality, adequacy and effectiveness of basic services, to voice their needs and preferences and to become involved in innovation offers an opportunity to enable better use of public funds, and improve service delivery. It is also recognised that urban service delivery is an integral part of urban development and enables cities to have economies of scale and economies of settlements. As a result, urban policies, institutional arrangements and initiatives have developed a frame-work of urban infrastructure to produce and deliver urban services to a cross-section of consumers. The citizen focus on services has involved three main factors namely efficiency, resource mobilisation and equity. However, the gap in the normative base of urban services has significantly increased over a period of time across the countries with a particular reference to developing economies. At the same time innovative methods for alternative institutional arrangements, new patterns of financing covering marked borrowings, PPP and community mobilisation have also emerged and recognised by international community. Public Service Provision and Urban Development encompasses a number of major themes related to the analysis of public services. The text evaluates sustainability in urban centres from a social, economic, and environmental perspective. It shows how cities can improve and sustain housing, land use, business activity, and infrastructure. This book will be of great interest not only to political scientists but also to geographers and to sociologists or for those related with community organisations, non-profit advocacy groups, and government sustainability agencies.
