"Whether an engineer, a doctor, a politician or a mother, everyone practices evaluation every day of their life. One evaluates whether the rice has finished cooking, whether the proposed law will address the problem at hand, which diagnostic tests to do in response to the patient's symptoms and whether the bridge design is adequate for extreme weather conditions. Each of these evaluative acts has a purpose in mind, requires information, and assesses that information against the context and against standards (explicitly and implicitly), in order to catalyze an action. Although everyone has this inherent familiarity with evaluation, in a professional setting it often becomes rife with misunderstandings, complexities and challenges. Therefore, it is useful to start with first principles - what is evaluation? Definitions abound within the professional evaluation field, with many of the major evaluation theorists having developed their own variations (Patton 2008; Rossi et al. 1999). Almost all of these have at their core a set of common characteristics: the systematic nature of the process, competent data collection methodology, and assessment or valuing of the findings. Overlaying these characteristics with peacebuilding, one can define evaluation for our purposes as the use of social science data collection methods (including participatory processes) to investigate the quality and value of programming that addresses the core driving factors and actors of violent conflict or supports the driving factors and actors of peace (Church 2008). In this definition, 'quality' refers to the caliber of the implementation; including the conflict analysis from which a peacebuilding strategy is derived, the planning as well as the implementation process (a blend of logistics, tactics and peacebuilding technique). 'Value', on the other hand, inquires into the changes associated with the intervention and their significance to the target population in terms of stopping violence or building peace. Both quality and value are essential components of program evaluation. This chapter explores the state of the art of evaluation in peacebuilding. After reviewing recent developments (section 2) and current practice (section 3), it proposes that peacebuilding evaluations are generally not delivering accountability and learning in the manner in which they should for two primary reasons. First, the average evaluation is not grounded in the basics of good evaluation practice. Significantly more attention is given to responding to peacebuilding's perceived `distinctiveness' and the challenges this distinctiveness raises than to ensuring that the basics are covered (see section 4). The second reason is that the core drivers of evaluation - accountability and learning - are rarely held at the heart of the process (see section 5). Section 6 gives some recommendations for improving evaluation in the peacebuilding field, followed by a short conclusion. Methodological challenges, of which there are many, are not covered in this chapter. While the field needs to address these challenges in a thoughtful manner, the issues of quality and the motivations behind evaluation are at the foundation of evaluation practice. No improvements in methodology will fundamentally change the contribution of evaluations if these issues are not adequately addressed." (excerpt)
ON THE FIFTH floor of Harvard's Lamont Library, near the men's room, there is an old, well-thumbed volume of Dwight Macdonald's Memoirs of a Revolutionist. Halfway down page 39, in a 1945 essay called 'The Responsibility of Peoples,' Macdonald argues that the Nazi death camps were uniquely anti-human. In the right margin, someone has commented, sniffily: 'Fellow traveler McDonald neatly overlooks Comrade Stalin's purges, where 2 x 10 7 people died.' Your reviewer unsheathed his pen upon seeing this, but then read further down the margin, where a knotty, penciled hand had done good work. 'Fellow traveler McDonald,' it said, 'had been denouncing Stalin for over a decade.' 'Fellow traveler `McDonald," yet another student had added beneath this, 'is spelled wrong.' Yes, Podhoretz. This is, by my informal count, Hitchens's fifth contribution to the venerable subgenre of the anti-Podhoretz essay. He is as scabrously funny as ever--'As a literary critic, [Podhoretz] rather resembles an undertaker scanning the obits for trade'--but at this point one has to wonder whether there is a compelling reason, intellectually speaking, to continue engaging a reactionary whom Hitchens himself has nominated as 'the most unscrupulous man of letters of our time.' And this question, I think, brings the Hitchensian conundrum into focus: it would be nice to ignore the likes of Podhoretz, but their deceptions are piling up. If once in this country there was a Big Lie (maybe two), there are now hundreds of little lies, scattered across dozens of periodicals. 'A thing that you have to read,' says Hitchens, mostly in earnest, 'if you desire to know what's cooking in the culture, is the Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association.' This is a statement that should drive all would-be Hitchenses back to grad school: a librarians' newsletter is decidedly not what one had in mind for the writer's life. But it describes, in a weird way, the work that Hitchens does, and the remarkable quantity of his output. Not a week goes by without Hitchens appearing in some back-of-the-book to dispose of another fraud, slander, revisionist misinterpretation. He is everywhere, perpetually arguing; it's as if mad America had hurt him into prolificacy. 'My friend Michael Kinsley,' 'my friend Gaff Sheehy,' and, always, 'my friend Alexander Cockburn' (formerly)--it is a rhetorical construction one encounters almost pathologically in Hitchens. It cannot be, as it initially seems, a short-hand form of full disclosure, because Hitchens is friends with everyone: so either all his journalism is tainted by his contacts or none is. 'My friend' could also be an epithet, Hitchens helpfully tagging the animals in the intellectual zoo: 'that old coward and fraud,' 'the little putz,' 'my friend,' 'my friend.' But this too is false, for Hitchens's friendship crosses party lines and even lines of honor--he is not above being friendly with men he considers scoundrels. To wit: 'my old friend Sidney Blumenthal.'.

By the time Martha Uvalle's boss threatened to have her children assaulted, she'd already lowered her expectations. Uvalle, a forty-year-old from Tamalipas, Mexico, has come to Louisiana as a guest worker every year since 2006. Each year, Uvalle worked for two to five months for CJ's Seafood in Louisiana, supplying shrimp to companies including the retail giant Wal-Mart. For years, the hours at CJ's were long, and the work was hard. Then, in 2011, Mike LeBlanc replaced his father as the head of the company. "That," said CJ's worker Ana Rosa Diaz, "was when it started to get out of control." Workers say they were required to come to work earlier and stay later, sometimes working as many as sixteen to twenty-four hours straight. Management installed security cameras in the plant and also around the company-owned trailers where the workers lived. Workers say management imposed a curfew, threatened to confiscate the keys to their cars, and told them they couldn't have visitors. Worse, one of the managers repeatedly said, "If you don't understand that your break is over, I'll make you understand with this shovel." Uvalle understood: "He was saying he would beat us." The worst day at CJ's, Uvalle remembered, was "the day of the threat." It came after LeBlanc heard that a worker had attempted to report him to the police. Workers say they were called into a mandatory meeting where LeBlanc told them that if any of them got him in trouble, he wouldn't just get them deported forever. He would send armed men to assault their families back in Mexico. Last summer, the Worker Rights Consortium, an international labor monitoring group, investigated and affirmed the workers' allegations of forced labor. WRC executive director Scott Nova told me that although the group generally investigates conditions outside the United States, what he found at CJ's were among the worst he's ever seen. But they're not a fluke. Saket Soni, the executive director of the National Guestworker Alliance, called such abuses "the norm, rather than the exception." Guest workers face a system designed not just to press down wages but to stifle resistance. Guest labor has long been a linchpin for some U.S. industries, and a flashpoint in U.S. politics. Most famously, the bracero program, begun by bilateral agreement between the United States and Mexico, facilitated over 4 million total trips by Mexican temporary workers to the United States; it was abolished in 1964 amid criticism from civil rights activists. As pseudo-stateless workers, guest workers face all of the obstacles confronting any U.S. workers who try to organize, and then some. What set the CJ's workers apart, more than the abuses they suffered, is how some of them responded: against all odds, they went on strike. Adapted from the source document.

Em Globalização, dependência e neoliberalismo na América Latina, Carlos Eduardo Martins cumpre a difícil tarefa de atualizar as teorias sobre esses três conceitos-chave para o pensamento contemporâneo e a compreensão das sociedades, principalmente as periféricas. Em uma época de grandes incertezas e enorme aceleração do tempo histórico, o autor se propõe o desafio de captar o movimento de crescente articulação entre o global e as particularidades regionais, nacionais e locais, bem como os choques entre forças sociais, políticas e ideológicas.Mapeando as forças dinâmicas de um mundo paradoxal, Martins parte dos estudos de Immanuel Wallerstein e Giovanni Arrighi sobre o capitalismo histórico e avança para uma discussão rigorosa da crise do moderno sistema mundial. 'Estruturas, tendências seculares e ciclos permeiam o nosso trabalho, que não tem a pretensão de oferecer certezas matemáticas', afirma o autor sobre a análise retrospectiva e prospectiva do livro.Logo no início da obra, Martins apresenta uma introdução metodológica à globalização, com ênfase nas teorias do sistema mundial e da dependência. Nesse percurso, incorpora um elemento explicativo fundamental para a compreensão do processo de globalização: a teoria de Marx sobre a tendência decrescente da taxa de lucro provocada pela revolução científico-tecnológica, quando ciência e tecnologia entram no processo como meios de acumulação do capital.O autor também busca identificar as tendências seculares e os ciclos para situar o espaço histórico da etapa atual do capitalismo e do sistema mundial em que vivemos. 'Defendemos que a globalização é uma força revolucionária e, como tal, destrói e constrói. Entretanto, destruição e construção são processos relativamente autônomos e estabelecem uma dialética de desdobramentos imprevistos, onde um dos polos pode prevalecer e condicionar o outro', afirma Martins. 'No momento em que estamos, a globalização não encontrou ainda sua estrutura institucional e societária criadora. Os períodos de crise sistêmica são épocas de bifurcações históricas, e nossa tese é a de que caminhamos nos próximos dez a quarenta anos para uma bifurcação totalmente nova, em relação às que se estabeleceram no moderno sistema mundial'.Para discutir as relações entre dependência e desenvolvimento no moderno sistema mundial, o autor utiliza a análise empírica e as principais teses formuladas pelo pensamento latino-americano. Assim foi possível avaliar o papel do capital estrangeiro nesse processo, a persistência do subdesenvolvimento e da pobreza, os efeitos do neoliberalismo sobre a base econômica e social e os caminhos da elevação da renda e do bem estar dos latino-americanos.O estudo contempla ainda uma análise minuciosa da crise do sistema mundial e da hegemonia norte-americana decorrente do desenvolvimento desigual e da superexploração dos trabalhadores, além de uma analise prospectiva das possibilidades da América Latina no século XXI e da influência sobre seu desenvolvimento da projeção da China na economia mundial. 'O balanço da questão da hegemonia e das perspectivas do século XXI permite ao autor abordar um capítulo extremamente novo na história das ideias sociais ao estudar as relações entre a teoria da dependência e a teoria do sistema mundial', diz Theotonio dos Santos no prefácio. 'Creio que o leitor compreenderá rapidamente que este é um livro essencial e necessário, com grandes possibilidades de se converter num clássico das ciências sociais latino-americanas, sobretudo neste momento histórico, em que a região necessita de um rigoroso aparelho teórico para fundamentar suas políticas progressistas em marcha com crescente apoio popular'.
