The services assessed under ‘basic services’ include education, health, transport, social protection, water, and waste treatment. These are evaluated in terms of access, quality, experience and outcomes. Inequality in accessing essential services is indeed a violation of rights of the people. CEPA defines ‘social cohesion’ as an essential requisite that keeps society from falling apart, reducing disparities in wealth and income and empowerment of people by creating a sense that they are engaged in a community enterprise as equal members. The papers compiled in this publication, supported by GIZ, provide insights and lessons learnt in formulating and implementing policy reform especially in education. They demonstrate the intimate link between education, basic services and social cohesion filling a lacuna left unaddressed in this area. CEPA believes that this publication will help sensitise and enhance the capacity of stakeholders in the service delivery sector to critically engage with issues specific to the region, and to develop a clear grasp of root causes that need to be addressed. It is hoped that this publication will help develop stronger policy prescriptions that will serve the goal of poverty eradication, as a part of the multi-faceted programs of CEPA. February 2019, Centre for Poverty Analysis 5 Preface Since 2005, the German Development Cooperation supported the Ministry of Education in Sri Lanka in the development and implementation of the national policy on education for social cohesion and peace. The Education for Social Cohesion Programme is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). In the past four, respective three years, we have assisted in our capacities as team leader (Rüdiger Blumör) and monitoring officer (Stefanie Licht). While trying to find ways to strengthen social cohesion through and within the education system we realised that potential negative aspects have to be considered as well – namely anomie. Malathi de Alwis joined us as a consultant and provided helpful insights. The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) supported the editing and printing of this publication, as the think tank has been working extensively on social cohesion and the provision of basic services, such as education. Together, we present four papers

  • Institutionalisation: an Historical Perspective
    Institutionalisation: an historical perspective By: Professor Jan Walmsley [From: Deinstitutionalization and People with Intellectual Disabilities: In and Out of Institutions (2008) by Rannveig Traustadottir (Editor), Kelley Johnson (Editor)] This book is about deinstitutionalisation. But to understand de-institutionalisation, we need also to appreciate what preceded it – institutionalisation. Why did our ancestors choose to place people with learning disabilities in institutions? More misguided and more evil than we are today? To assume that is ahistorical. It is to adopt a simplistic view of the past that sees human life as a progression from darkness to light, an inexorable march of ‘progress’ in which every age improves on its predecessors. That is clearly untenable. So why, when nowadays we see institutions as such a mistake, did apparently sensible well meaning people choose institutions as the answer? I seek to begin to answer these questions here. In this chapter I explore institutions as a social policy ‘solution’ to the problem of the ‘feeble minded’ in early twentieth century England, as a means of setting in context the memories in the book. Although England is not entirely representative in its institutional practices (for example, unlike some Scandinavian countries and US states, sterilisation was never legalised) the trend to institutionalisation there in many respects mirrored similar trends in the English speaking world (see for example Trent 1994 re the USA, Cocks, Fox, Brogan and Lee 1996 re Western Australia). We know from a number of sources, including some of the testimony in this book, that for many of those who lived in them institutions were unpleasant and restrictive at best, abusive at worst.

  • The Institutionalisation of the Treaty of Rome * Neil Fligstein and Alec Stone-Sweet
    The Institutionalisation of the Treaty of Rome * Neil Fligstein and Alec Stone-Sweet (First Draft, 31 October 1999) Neil Fligstein Department of Sociology University of California Berkeley, California Alec Stone Sweet Official Fellow Nuffield College Oxford, UK * Prepared for the workshop, The Institutionalisation of Europe, November 10-12, 1999, Laguna Beach, CA. NOTE: The paper will be substantially reworked as we solve some of the myriad problems associated with analysing time series data containing strong trends. We may decide to specify a main dependent variable (EC rules, i.e., the EC's formal institutional structure) in order to ground a first stage of analysis, before looking at the feedback effects of that dependent variable on activities (lobbying, trade, litigating) specified as independent variables. We will also elaborate further on our three integration "stories," and use the literature to help us sharpen our hypotheses. Introduction With the Treaty of Rome, European states designed a set of policy domains related to trade and the regulation of markets, a complex of governmental organisations, and a binding set of substantive and procedural rules to help them achieve the construction of a European Economic Community (Fligstein and McNichol, 1998). Although the Treaty traced the broad outlines of this new Community, it was the purposeful activities of representatives of national governments (Moravcsik 1999), of officials operating in the EC's organisations, like the Commission (Pollack 1998) and the Court (Burley and Mattli 1993; Stone Sweet and Caporaso 1998a; Weiler 1991, 1994), and of leaders of transnational interest groups (Mazey and Richardson, eds., 1993) that subsequently produced the extraordinarily dense web of political and social networks that now functions to generate and sustain supranational governance (Wallace and Young 1998; Héritier 1999; Sandholtz and Stone Sweet, eds., 1998).

  • Mapping Long-Term Outcomes of Institutionalization for Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP) in India
    Mapping Long-term Outcomes of Institutionalization for Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP) in India Make A Difference, June, 2019 | Sponsored by DXC Technology Research Director: Poonam Yewale Acknowledgements From the Author: Firstly, I’d like to thank all of the participants who consented to be respondents in this study, most of whom have previously faced varying forms of stigma and ostracisation wherever others have been aware of their history. Without their participation this research would not have been possible. Despite their own lost hopes and lack of sustained support systems, they braved sharing their personal journeys to contribute for the betterment of coming generations. I also take this opportunity to thank DXC Technology who sponsored this study. Without their resources and patient support, it would have been impossible to conduct research of a scale and form that to the best of our knowledge has not been accomplished before this. I also thank the leadership at Make A Difference for this opportunity to lead the research, along with all those who directly and indirectly contributed to this research. The trust and flexibility provided enabled us to make progress regardless of the challenges we faced. In particular, I take this opportunity to extend my gratitude towards Rizwan Tayabali who as CEO of Make A Difference conceived, designed and championed this project, consistently reiterating the importance of data-oriented problem definition and baselining in the pursuit and design of better impact solutions and outcomes. Lastly, to the research team who worked with me on this project, for enduring the emotional turmoil of listening and responding meaningfully to the often harrowing life stories and challenges of the individuals who talked to us, and for the learning and experience-sharing that transpired throughout.

  • The Institutionalisation and Networking of Provenance Research from Different Historical Contexts
    Introduction to thematic block 51: The institutionalisation and networking of provenance research from different historical contexts Larissa Förster While the German discourse on “postcolonial provenance research” in ethnological museums is indeed relatively new (see the introduction to this conference anthology2), for some time now systematic provenance research on National Socialist (Nazi-era) contexts, i.e. the transaction and accession period 1933 – 1945,3 has been carried out in many German museums, both large and small.4 Ethnological museums and collections are no exception, and have likewise established projects addressing Nazi-era provenance research in the last few years. In Göttingen, for example, researchers have studied collection holdings which had been translocated in 1942 from the municipal Museum of Ethnography in Łódz, via Leipzig, to the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Göttingen (Herrmann 2018) – and which have since been restituted to Łódz. Researchers at Bremen’s Übersee-Museum are currently reappraising the collection of the former Lüderitz Museum, which was privately founded in Bremen in 1940, having made its acquisitions – including some ethnographica – during the course of colonial revisionist aspirations in the 1930s and 1940s (see the chapter by Wiebke Ahrndt in this anthology).5 Nazi-era provenance research can now look back on a 20-year history of establishment, systematisation and institutionalisation in Germany. Since the Washington Declaration of 1998, progress has been made in small and large increments, sustained not only by institutions but also to a remarkable extent by the initiative and engagement of the provenance researchers themselves – expedited in no small part by the Gurlitt case.
