Ethical Issues in Poverty Alleviation
This book explores the philosophical, and in particular ethical, issues concerning the conceptualization, design and implementation of poverty alleviation measures from the local to the global level. It connects these topics with the ongoing debates on social and global justice, and asks what an ethical or normative philosophical perspective can add to the economic, political, and other social science approaches that dominate the main debates on poverty alleviation. Divided into four sections, the volume examines four areas of concern: the relation between human rights and poverty alleviation, the connection between development and poverty alleviation, poverty within affluent countries, and ...
Social Networks and Food Security in the Urban Fringe
This book explores how social groups in the urban fringe of Abuja, Nigeria, engaged with a series of development projects spanning 15 years (2003 to 2018) which focused on the enhancement of food security for farming households. The groups were at the heart of these development projects and the book presents the many insights that were gained by farmers and project agents working within these partnerships and provides advice for those seeking to do the same. The book also explores how the social groups attempted to lever benefits from being near to the fastest growing city in Africa and a centre of economic and political power. While much has been written about social groups and their embeddedness within wider social networks in Africa and in other parts of the world, the exploration of the role of social groups within development projects is an area that remains relatively unchartered and this book seeks to fill that important gap in knowledge. It provides an important contribution for all those researching and working with social groups in the developing world.

We're The Super White Army
In 1988, Adam Ford became a supporter of Tranmere Rovers, Merseyside's 'deadly submarine' of a football club. That was a great time to be a fan. In August 2014, when the Palioses first took over the club, it wasn't such a great time to be a fan. Relegation out of the Football League soon followed, and things looked desperate. But the Palioses had a plan to unleash the power of the 'Super White Army' to turn things on the pitch, off the pitch, and in underprivileged communities of Wirral. This is the story of how all that happened, and how Tranmere Rovers is now a club on the up once more. Featuring interviews with staff, former players, and - most importantly - many members of the Super White Army themselves, the book combines features on developments at Prenton Park over the last few years, with a blow-by-blow account of the incredible 2017/18 season, which saw Rovers promoted back to the football league.
