From this vantage point, we are fortunate to witness a wide range of efforts to achieve justice and equity in vastly dif- ferent settings. Continually, we are inspired by the remarkable creativity and diversity of these activities—the varied ways groups are able to devise new strategies and adapt old ones to meet their goals. But we are equally impressed with the striking congruencies, often unplanned, that turn up between grantee proj- ects in places as different from each other as Peru and Poland. In one field of work, these patterns of diversity and symmetry run deep. Across the world, a variety of groups, some with Ford funding, are pursuing many roads toward the same end: using the law as an instrument to advance human rights and social justice. While the ideal of justice is still a distant landmark, nongovern- mental organizations have made real progress toward that goal. The evidence of such efforts is seen in the countless people whose lives have been changed—abused women in Bangladesh, racial minorities in Brazil, farmers in the Philippines, the homeless in Nigeria, and many others. This book attempts to convey some of the challenges that those wielding the law for social change purposes have faced and the successes they have achieved. By intention, it is more a stud- ied appreciation than a critical analysis of their efforts. We asked v i i v i i i PR E FAC E an international team of consultants to help us document and describe how various law-based strategies have worked in very d i fferent settings, to draw out connections between those eff o r t s , and to highlight some of the insights that emerge from grantees’ experiences in law-related work. We also asked them to help us learn more about the ways the Foundation has played a role in these efforts. Known as the Global Law Programs Learning Initiative (GLPLI), this effort is not definitive, but rather sugges- tive. Our goal is to contribute to more serious future reflection and, ultimately, more effective programs in this field. We hope that the insights emerging from our review of the work of Ford and its grantees will help strengthen Foundation programming, suggest grantmaking directions for the considera- tion of other donors, and provide some strategic insights and ideas for all those involved in using the law to build a more equitable world. M a ry McClymont Senior Dire c t o r Peace and Social Justice Program, The Ford Foundation AC K N OW L E D G M E N T S The GLPLI project, and this book, reflect a collective eff o r t . Many Ford Foundation grantee partners engaged in public interest law work generously shared their insights, experiences, and time, without which this book would simply not have been possible. Too numerous to list here, they are cited in the contributors’ l i s t s following the case studies, which are chapters in Part 1. At the core of GLPLI was a thirteen-member team. T h e authors (listed elsewhere in this volume) not only bear primary responsibility for their individual papers; they also reviewed each o t h e r’s drafts, posed questions, and formulated ideas that were considered by other members of the group. The collaborative process included meeting as a team and discussing virtually every facet of the project. Apart from the authors, the core team includ- ed several other individuals. Anthony Romero, the Foundation’s director of the Human Rights and International Cooperation unit, o ffered critical perspectives and suggestions that enriched and advanced team discussions. Editorial advisors Tom Lansner and Sara Bullard skillfully shepherded this text from inception to pro- duction. Daria Caliguire diligently performed key research tasks. Monica Ly n n ’s unfailing administrative support and editorial assistance were essential at all levels of the project. GLPLI benefited as well from current Ford Foundation staff , who shared useful information and valuable ideas at various stages of the project. Those staff members, who undertake law- i x x AC K N OW L E D G M E N T S related programming in offices around the world, included Akwasi Aidoo, Fateh Azzam, Aaron Back, Alice Brown, Phyllis Chang, David Chiel, Larry Cox, Mallika Dutt, Joseph Gitari, Irena Grudzinska Gross, Gary Hawes, Taryn Higashi, A l a n Jenkins, Mary McAuley, Helen Neuborne, Edward Te l l e s , Augusto Varas, and Alex Wilde. Ford program assistants Lori Mann and Hisham Elkoustaf, and senior communications advisor Thea Lurie, also provided useful contributions. Miriam A u k e r m a n gave helpful comments on the manuscript. A number of former Ford Foundation staff helpfully recount- ed their experiences as well. They are cited in or listed after the individual case studies in Part 1. Thanks to William Carmichael, Shepard Forman, Lynn Huntley, and Franklin Thomas, who pro- vided historical perspectives that benefited the entire project. Several other people played important roles in making this book a reality. GLPLI profited from the knowledge of several external specialists, who were asked to critically review some or all of the papers. Their frank appraisals substantially helped sharpen and improve the final product. The outside experts included José Zalaquett, Professor of Law, University of Chile; Terrence George, Chief Program Off i c e r, Consuelo Zobel A l g e r Foundation; and Rick Messick, Senior Public Sector Specialist and codirector of the World Bank’s Thematic Group in Legal Institutions. Of course, any inaccuracies in the text are the respon- sibility of the Ford Foundation alone. As vice president of the Foundation’s Peace and Social Justice program, Bradford Smith provided thoughtful guidance during the GLPLI process. And the project would not have been possible without Ford Foundation President Susan Berresford’s stimulus toward greater institutional learning, and her continuing commitment to public interest law work around the world. M a ry McClymont I n t ro d u c t i o n : A Guide to This Vo l u m e ST E P H E N GO L U B & MA RY MCCLY M O N T For more than forty years, the Ford Foundation has supported groups that use the law to secure human rights and improve the lives of people in vastly different settings around the world.

  • Communication and PR in Crisis Situations
    Theoretical and Applied Economics FdraganF Volume XXIII (2016), No. 3(608), Autumn, pp. 361-370 Communication and PR in crisis situations Claudia Elena PAICU Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania [email protected] Laurențiu Gabriel FRÂNCU Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania [email protected] Abstract. Nowadays, more than ever, society is a genuine environment for conducting organizational identity and image. Organizational identity proves to be a central element of the activities and organizational strategies. However, organizations can not hide behind images and brands of its own portfolio. If the organization would be wrong, surely this will be felt strongly at the image and at the organizational identity and also at the level of publics, including here consumers, suppliers, shareholders, employees and the community generally. Therefore, it is important to understand that, in times of crisis, communications and PR programs must be thought and targeted both externally, by organizational branding, and internal, through a program of vision. But these are two directions intertwining, so that organizational branding will be felt internal, inspired by the internal values and the organizational culture, and the vision will be the one who is going to transmit the corporate identity to external publics. This article aims to analyze, from this perspective, one of the latest image crisis, in the auto market, the one of the German producer Volkswagen. Keywords: communication, public relations, organizational branding, image crisis, competitiveness. JEL Classification: D00; M14; M21; M31. 362 Claudia Elena Paicu, Laurențiu Gabriel Frâncu Introduction The communication and PR programs are designed and implemented from an internal and external perspective.

Repression has increased drastically and a more assertive public position from states is crucial to protecting Algerians peacefully exercising their rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly. We urge you, in relevant agenda items such as in the interactive dialogue with the High Commissioner under Item 2 or in the Interactive Debates with the Special Rapporteurs on freedom of expression and freedom of association and peaceful assembly under Item 3, to: ● Condemn the escalating crackdown on peaceful protesters, journalists and human rights defenders, including the excessive use of force, the forced dispersal and intimidation of protesters and the

  • Ford Foundation Annual Report 2005
    Ford Foundation Annual Report 2005 our mission Strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. mission statement The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to: strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. This has been our purpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are locat- ed; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understand- ing, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals. Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Since its inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization.

  • Constitutional Challenges
    SRI LANKA’S 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE: CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES Rohan Edrisinha University of Colombo Centre for Policy Alternatives Sixty years ago, at the time of Ceylon’s independence from colonial rule, the country was considered Asia’s brightest prospect. Today, Sri Lanka is far, far away from that objective. Indeed, today Sri Lanka is a nation state in deep crisis and its Independence Day celebrations were held amidst bombs, fear and insecurity, not only in the north and east, but even in Colombo. Ten years ago at the 50th Anniversary celebrations, President Kumaratunga reflected that the country had failed in one of its major challenges, that of nation building. Today, the nation building project continues to be a failure, and sadly does not even seem to be a priority of the present political leadership. The Rajapakse Government’s strategy seems to be one of nation building through defeating terrorism. This is simplistic and shortsighted as it fails to consider that while terrorism is one aspect of the challenge, the causes of terrorism, the history of the island’s ethnic conflict, the grievances and aspirations of the Tamil people, and basic principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law have also to be addressed if Sri Lanka is to survive as a united, independent and free nation state. The protection of the rights of the Tamils was an issue that figured prominently at the time of Independence in 1948. The main Tamil leader at the time, G.G. Ponnambalam, who believed in power sharing at the centre, lobbied the British to provide for a legislature where 50% of the seats would be held by all the non-Sinhalese groups in the island as a way of ensuring that discriminatory legislation would not be enacted by Parliament.

  • The Contradictions of the Green Revolution*
    The Contradictions of the Green Revolution* Will the Green Revolution turn red? That is the big question about the recent and highly publicized upsurge in Third-World food production. Food output is rising, but so is the number of unemployed in countryside and city. Is this growing class of dispossessed going to rise up in socialist revolution? Such is the specter invoked in an increasing number of mass-media news stories. Scholarly studies echo the same fear, and concern is growing among officials at the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the World Bank, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID). All of these organizations are anxiously trying to buy the answers to these questions. As more and more research money flows out, reams of reports from eager university and field-staff researchers are piling up. Yet for all the vast literature, radical researchers and strategists have paid little heed to the Green Revolution or to its revolutionary potential.1 This is a strange oversight in a generation of radicals more impressed by peasant revolution than by Marx’s vision of revolution by an industrial proletariat. How important is this new development to U.S. foreign policy, that such mighty institutions should be stirred into action? What is the real impact of the Green Revolution on the internal contradictions of modern capitalism? Will social tensions be abated or exacerbated? It is my hope that this essay, which discusses these and related questions, will open a discussion among radicals and move others to probe more deeply into the whole phenomenon. 1.
