This paper evaluates the functions and service delivery of NGOs for immigrants in Australia. It argues that the radical economic restructuring in Western nations has been characterised by massive processes of deinstitutionalisation and decentralisation, with an associated move towards privatisation and the targeting of disadvantaged groups. This has led to a significant reliance on the voluntary sector to assist in the provision of settlement services for immigrant groups. As result in most immigrant receiving nations the use of NGOs as an extension of the state is common.

Economic Development Strategies

Benjamin Armstrong’s article compares state economic development policies in Pittsburgh and Cleveland in the 1980s, the period of major regional economic restructuring. Armstrong argues that what separated Pittsburgh from Cleveland in the ensuring years was the state-mandated inclusion of the city’s universities as major economic development decision makers and the role that advanced technology played in Pittsburgh’s recovery—much more prominent than in Cleveland’s. The authors agree that the 1980s expanded stakeholders in the region’s traditional economic development strategies, but not to the extent that Armstrong argues, and that significant other factors have affected the two regions in recent decades. The authors also find that the divergence in economic trends between the two regions is not a strong as Armstrong suggests.

The paper starts with a brief discussion of recent developments of economic restructuring of the State Owned Enterprises in China and their related reforms in social insurance and social assistance. It then reports the findings of an attitude survey of residents in Shanghai in 1996 towards the social and economic consequences of economic reform. It reveals that, despite the fact that most people feel better off with the reforms, there is still a need for the state to play a role in social protection.

Mujeres Inmigrantes

Se revisa brevemente el estado de la mujer en la cárcel y su perfil delictivo y los correspondientes datos cuantitativos de cárceles españolas. Se propone un proyecto de investigación e intervención cuyo objetivo principal es detectar los niveles de éxito o fracaso del colectivo de mujeres inmigrantes en su doble adaptación, a través de la observación de las distintas estrategias de asimilación que poseen. Todo ello, llevaría a una conclusión final, que sería obtener un perfil sociocultural de las mujeres inmigrantes. Esto llevaría a una intervención adecuada por parte de las instituciones o servicios que se ocupen de dar ayuda a colectivos desfavorecidos, y /o dar datos sobre la población reclusa a las políticas migratorias. It will be reviewed briefly the state of the woman in prison and her criminal profile and the corresponding quantitative data of Spanish prisons are briefly reviewed. A research and intervention project is proposed whose main objective is to detect the levels of success or failure of the immigrant women in their double adaptation, through the observation of the different assimilation strategies they have. All this, would lead to a final conclusion, which would be to obtain a sociocultural profile of immigrant women. This would lead to an adequate intervention by institutions or services that deal with giving assistance to disadvantaged groups, and / or giving information about the inmate population to migration policies.

Preventative Services

In chapter 2 we explore contemporary children’s services, and how the persuasive logic of prevention has been adopted in more modern service delivery and the role of the voluntary sector in providing these services. Focusing specifically on the early 2010s, we map the shift from the Conservative flagship project of the Big Society, to the renewed localism project of the Civil Society Strategy. We draw out the links between the societal hardening in focus, shifting from universal to targeting of preventative services, and discuss the role of the voluntary sector in delivery of these services.
