This study aims to look at an overview of productive economic efforts and social assistance carried out at the research sites, namely in South Buton District and Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study used descriptive qualitative methods with independent interviewers followed by focus group discussion (FGD) on 17 informants in the South Buton District and nine informants (assistants) in Kolaka Regency and two critical informants from the social services of Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results of the study show that: 1) The productive economic business of the poor who receive assistance from the government has gone well, with limited capacity possessed by the assistants. Productive commercial enterprises can be seen from two things, namely: a) Types, benefits, and business synchronisation; where the type of business being run must come from the recipient of assistance and synchronise with the government program. Various benefits obtained by the poor from the Ministry of Social Affairs program in the form of aid to this effort, both in the form of KUBE and UEP, including the business potential that has been owned by the poor because there is no working capital can be overcome besides the economy in the area is also increasingly passionate. b) The potential of productive economic enterprises in the two research locations is still very high, the extent of both areas characterises this, the possibility of agriculture, fisheries, energy, the trade which are still mostly untapped so that if all of these can be optimised then productive economic efforts can develop optimally. 2) Mentoring has gone well even though there are still limitations that the facilitators have, including limited coordination skills, basic abilities, analytical skills, technological utilisation abilities, and entrepreneurship skills.

When the earliest cooperative units were formed, the members seem to have assumed that the step had relevance only for themselves and only for their economic good. At Fenwick in Scotland eleven men agreed in 1769 “to take what money we have in our Box and buy what victual may be thought Nessassar to sell for the benefit of our society.” The sole end was the economic benefit of the little group. Near the close of the century, “the poor inhabitants” of Hull in England set up a cooperative mill. The harvest had been lean, and the price of flour was very high, so that the people felt “much trouble and sorrow” in their persons and families, and thought they should take every care to preserve themselves “from the invasion of covetous and merciless men in the future.” They also asked the mayor to give something toward “this great enterprise.”

Accountability in providing public administration to the poor people in the Social Department of Makassar. This study was qualitative case study approach, while the instruments were the researchers themselves. This study showed that the accountability in providing public administration to the poor people had not run optimally. There were various approaches and alleviation programs for poverty that had not been able to change significantly. There was no continuous program during the official turnover. If the official was changed, then the policy would be changed, thus the programs were ineffective to minimize the poverty in Makassar. The policies and the supports were necessary from all the elements of construction and the involvement of entrepreneurs like stakeholders and community leaders. The government is necessary to take a role in uniting and bridging these issues. In addition, the strategic planning was necessary to involve society, not only as objects of development but also to be involved as the subject of development to alleviate the poverty in Makassar.

This article presents the context for and particular relations between the state and third-sector organizations in the province of Québec. A typology inspired by Coston and developed by Proulx, Bourque, and Savard is used to describe interactions between these actors. The article documents how an agreement that the private Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon signed with the Government of Québec had an impact on community organizations that respond to the social needs of vulnerable groups. A major repercussion has been the relegation of third-sector organizations to a model between subcontracting and coproductive. This is notable, as the sector had managed to establish itself as a central actor during the previous twenty years, particularly in health and social services, participating in the co-construction of public policies. RÉSUMÉ Cet article aborde la question des relations entre les organismes communautaires et l’État au Québec en mettant l’accent sur le contexte particulier et les dimensions qui les distinguent dans cette province. Une typologie adaptée de Coston par Proulx, Bourque et Savard est utilisée pour encadrer cette réflexion. Nous discutons de l’impact de l’arrivée de la Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon (FLAC) sur le rôle des organismes communautaires après la signature d’une entente entre la FLAC et l’État québécois. Nous observons qu’une des conséquences de cette entente a été de confiner les organismes communautaires à un rôle allant de la sous-traitance à la coproduction alors que, depuis vingt ans, ces organismes avaient réussi à s’établir comme partenaires centraux en contribuant, en co-construction avec l’État, à l’élaboration de politiques publiques.


Subject Signs of resilience in the Greek economy. Significance The Greek government's protracted negotiations with its international lenders led to very high levels of economic uncertainty, which peaked in July 2015, with the introduction of capital controls. Since then, the progress made by the government towards implementing its agreement with the international lenders has largely removed fears that Greece might have to leave the euro-area, but capital controls and restricted liquidity in the banking sector continue to hamper economic activity. After slowly expanding through 2014 and the first half of 2015, the Greek economy slumped back into recession in the third quarter. Impacts Reforms of the social security system required by the lenders are likely to prove the most politically contentious. A decreased contribution to GDP by the construction and service sectors will alter the composition of the Greek economy in the long run. The structural nature of unemployment will require an urgent reassessment of the labour force's training and educational needs.

Автор рассматривает социальную категорию нищих в религиозном контексте, а также в свете конкретной русской этнической традиции. В последнем случае нищие были близки группе «странников», богомольцев, которые посвятили свою жизнь паломничеству по святым местам. Между тем уже в начале XX в. немалое число нищих были просто бедняками, не имеющими дома и заработка. В советское время с нищенством начинают целенаправленно бороться, как с социально вредным явлением. Но при этом советская власть своими масштабными проектами – индустриализацией и особенно коллективизацией, борьбой с враждебными классами, порождала миллионы нищих. Она боролась с ними, как с врагами народа. Еще одна большая волна нищих появилась после Великой Отечественной войны, но и эти нищие не нашли должного сочувствия у власти. В целом, отношение к нищим в советское время можно охарактеризовать как репрессивное, вне традиции, вне религиозных норм, что служит обличением власти. The author considers the social category of the poor in a religious context, as well as in the light of a specific Russian ethnic tradition. In the latter case, the poor were close to the category of “wanderers,” pilgrims who dedicated their lives to pilgrimage to holy places. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the XX century. a considerable number of beggars were simply poor people who did not have a home or income. In Soviet times, the authorities began to struggle with poverty in a deliberate way, as with a socially harmful phenomenon. But at the same time, the Soviet government with its large-scale projects - industrialization and especially collectivization, the struggle against hostile classes - generated millions of beggars. It fought with them, as with the enemies of the people. Another big wave of beggars appeared after World War II, but these beggars did not meet the proper sympathy of the government. In general, the attitude towards the poor in Soviet times can be described as repressive, outside of tradition, outside of religious norms, which serves as a denunciation of power.

The author looks into the revival of Buddhist philanthropy in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the last decade. It seeks to tackle the wider question of the social utility of religion in the eyes of the political authorities and to assess the extent to which recent debates on secularization theory may be relevant to the Chinese situation. The emergence of Buddhist philanthropy is coinciding with considerable changes in political, economic and social conditions, characterized by state disengagement from the provision of social services. The author describes various organizations offering assistance to the poor, as well as certain services related to healthcare and education. Yet this rise in Buddhist philanthropy should not be seen as evidence of a “resacralization” process in China because the communist Party-State continues its policy of manifest secularization.
