This Chapter 4 gives a nuanced picture of the role of mobile phones in economic activities in rural West Bengal. Rather than juxtaposing economic and social uses, it explores them in tandem. How are phones used instrumentally and socially, and how do these different uses mesh and interrelate? The chapter also looks at how phone use influences social relationships, including their use for health care. Furthermore, the chapter assesses how the enhancement of logistical efficiency with the help of phones relates to development as economic growth and increased well-being. It highlights that not all people received equal economic benefits from phones. Phones have been most beneficial for the wealthiest entrepreneurs and large farmers. Those entrepreneurs whose markets extend outside the village have benefitted more than those who mainly market their products and services in the village.

AbstractThis article examines the role played by village schoolmasters in eighteenth-century rural France. Although schoolmasters were not supported or regulated by the state, as they would be a century later, they were able to navigate successfully the complex network of social relationships that existed within early modern rural society. Using the journal of one schoolmaster, Pierre Delahaye, the article demonstrates that in addition to teaching, schoolmasters also worked as record keepers for village notables, as clerks for the parish, and even cleaned the churches and belfries. The schoolmaster's position afforded him a much greater social position than might be assumed from knowledge of only his income and background, and even allowed him to serve as a mediator between the village and the curé. Thus it can be argued that schoolmasters of the eighteenth century were as important to rural society as their state supported counterparts of the nineteenth century.

This study is an appreciation of the contributions of the Village Savings and Loan Associations scheme to peace between its members and the community. It seeks to demonstrate, by means of specific examples of existing groups of the village savings and associations (Mukando) scheme in ward 8 of the Seke district, Mashonaland East province, Zimbabwe, that although the scheme helps to fight poverty and financial vulnerability among the poor people, it promotes peace as well. The study revealed that the key elements, namely social capital, friendships, social relationships, coexistence and tolerance, on which the scheme is anchored, are major factors that contribute to peace. It also emerged that the creation of the scheme increases the capacities of its members to access supportive networks, befriend each other and coexist in a tolerant way, thus, helping to foster factors that promote peace between members within the community. Therefore, reproducing the Mukando scheme could imply building more stable households and communities.

This chapter looks at how Mencius envisions a multilevel social system of provision in which the family, the village or commune, as well as the government all have specific roles to play. Social justice is the foundation of this social system; the family and commune (or social relationships and networks) provide familial care and mutual aid; and when they are not sufficient, the government steps in to provide direct welfare assistance. This Confucian social ideal integrates justice and care, recognizing both individual merit and personal responsibility. Mencius's vision is not of a nanny state that takes care of every aspect of people's lives from the cradle to the grave, but of a social system regulated by several principles, such as sufficiency, personal responsibility, merit, and contribution.

A noteworthy report was recently published by two staff members of agricultural research institutes in Bogor (Indonesia), Collier and Soentoro, concerning the substantial changes that have occurred during the last ten to twenty years in traditional social relationships in the village community of rural Java (1). The phenomenon had been recorded before, including by Dr. Collier, who published a report on the subject when he and other research workers examined it in the course of their field work (2). Collier and Soentoro's report consists of a summary of surveys subsequently carried out by the Bogor institutes. These surveys confirmed the earlier observations. The report indicates clearly that this development, with its ominous consequences, is proceeding apace and is steadily permeating rural Java as a whole. Collier and Soentoro's report stands out for its lucid analysis of economic and social developments in rice production methods. Their detailed account of this development takes due account of the many variants stemming from varying regional traditions, economic circumstances and legal relationships.

In this paper, we examine how the 2008–2009 drought in northern Tanzania contributed to and catalyzed the transformation of governance concerning the management of natural resources from traditional informal institutions among the Maasai to formal village-based institutions. Our central argument is that village governance in northern Tanzania represents a new, formal institution that is supplementing and in some important ways obviating traditional, informal institutions. Further, this replacement is central to what appears to be a transformation of the social-ecological system embracing the rangelands and pastoral/agro-pastoral people in northern Tanzania. In this paper, we document the basis for our claims concerning the institutional shift and discuss its implications for livelihoods and social relationships.
