Using the conceptual framework of a developmental state, forwarded by the Economic Commission for Africa, it was found that Ethiopia's democratic developmental state is unique and operates differently from the Malaysian developmental state model. Economically, Ethiopia has recorded staggering economic growth since it adopted the developmental state. The Malaysian developmental state was developed to be market-oriented and as a result Malaysia's GDP grew at 5.23 percent from 2005-2011. Malaysia's incidence of poverty declined from 49% in 1970 to less than 5% in 2000. Ethiopia has focused on a planned developmental state, without speeding the direction of industrialization, and has achieved an average 9.9 percent growth rate in GDP from 2005-2011. With economic growth, the poverty reduction measured by poverty head count in Ethiopia has declined from 41.9 in 2005 to 29.6 percent in 2011. Although Ethiopia's Human Development Index (HDI) has increased by 16% from 2005 to 2011, its HDI score is about 22% less than the average score of sub-Saharan countries. The poverty ratio of people living on less than $1.25 a day in Ethiopia is very close to about 30 percent. It means that those with low incomes have not benefitted from the staggering economic growth that much of the country has achieved in the last seven years.
Living with Energy Poverty: Perspectives from the Global North and South expands our collective understanding of energy poverty and deepens our recognition of the phenomenon by engaging with the lived experiences of energy-poor households across different contexts. Understanding the lived experience of energy poverty is an essential component in the design of any effort to alleviate what is fundamentally a deep-rooted, multi-faceted, wickedly complex problem. This requires a nuanced understanding of the causal factors and the research methods that can respond to the flexible spatial and temporal nature of the condition, as well as its wellbeing and justice implications. Drawing together the expertise and connectedness of authors from the Global South and North, this book presents novel approaches to understanding the often hidden forms of domestic energy deprivation. Case studies from 20 countries provide critical perspectives on this phenomenon while analysing the policy practices, government strategy, and sustainability implications of divergent manifestations. The book takes a multidimensional perspective, challenging the bias towards energy production and service provision, which often do not align with the aspirations and realities of energy households across global contexts, thus facilitating a useful dialogue on the nature of energy poverty. The book is a timely source for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars seeking fresh, diverse insights into the everyday reality of energy poverty and wanting to better understand the challenges a people-centred, just energy transition can present.
Es gibt eine neue Studie zum Kleingartenwesen in Deutschland, die eine bundesweite Bestandsaufnahme zur aktuellen Situation darstellt. Das Institut für Stadtplanung und Sozialforschung Weeber + Partner hat die Studie im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung (BMVBS) erarbeitet. Die Untersuchung bestätigt, dass das Kleingartenwesen innerhalb der heutigen gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen immer noch einen besonderen Stellenwert einnimmt. Sowohl in den alten als auch in den neuen Bundesländern gehören Kleingärten zu den Charakteristika der Gemeinden und Städte, denn Kleingärten sind ein wichtiges Element zur Durchgrünung und Auflockerung der Bebauung. Indem Kleingärten für mehr Grün in den Städten sorgen, verbessern sie zugleich die ökologische Bilanz. Bis zu 100 000 Ehrenamtliche sind in Deutschland für das Kleingartenwesen tätig.
Abstract This text, the initial purpose of which was to review Dubravka Ugrešić's latest book in English translation, the collection of essays The Age of Skin (2020), unexpectedly transformed into a synthetic writing on the literary and cultural relevance of this great feminist post-Yugoslav author, who passed away suddenly on 17 March 2023. The article analyses the main theses of the book and contextualizes them within Dubravka Ugrešić's overall text corpus, emphasizing the importance of her essayistic authorial voice—a voice that articulates critical topics of our time, from poverty, exploitation, and violence, to migrations, everyday life mythologies, and popular culture, to melancholic recollections of a better past, together with a utopian future and the possibility of resistance, enabled also by the power and beauty of literature.
Despite the encouragement of women's and girls' curiosity in matriarchal and oral fairy tale traditions, their patriarchal print production in Western Europe reframed this trait as undesirable. Fairy tale print productions also troubled the tales' transformative and communal form in establishing versions that would receive ongoing duplication by attaching prominent authorial figures. In this article, I investigate the teen girl detective game as a format that reflects upon and updates these values. Taking Mografi's Jenny LeClue: Detectivú as my case study, I interpret the text as a postmodern fairy tale revision that unsettles the master narrative and the notion of the singular authorial figure. The game encourages the player's active investigatory participation while presenting a narrative that invites collaboration and a critique of the conservative author.

In this paper a critique is developed to the theories that found their conception of the self of the Homeric man in the psychosomatic entity. Then it is develops the understanding that the singular man had of its own self in relation to the limits of its existence determined as Moira and to the politic-heroic moral that arises on these limits. ; En este escrito se desarrolla una crítica a las teorías que fundan su concepción del sí mismo del hombre homérico en la entidad psicosomática. Luego se elabora la comprensión que este hombre singular tuvo de su mismidad en relación a los límites de su existencia determinados como Moira y a la moral político-heroica que surge sobre estos límites.
