"Mondragon's Algebra of Community Economics." Peace Review 12(2): 277-282. Abstract: This article is about the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation in the Basque county of Spain and how its style of workplace democracy can be a model for community economic development initiatives.

Abstract: In this chapter the author describes the Self-Employed Women's Association and the Working Women's Forum in India, and how women in these groups have secured self-employment loans from banks through collective agency. Some examples of viable businesses for women using these loans are provided. Abbott describes challenges women have faced in securing the loans and negative aspects of the credit program. Keywords: women; self-employment; India; loans. Abdela, Lesley. 2000. "From Palm Tree to Parliament: Training Women for Political Leadership and Public Life." Gender and Development 8(3): 16-23. Abstract: Economic restructuring in the poorest countries of the world, implemented by male-dominated governments and financial organisations, have hit women the hardest. Some barriers women experience when becoming political leaders are presented. Abdela suggests that existing power structures need to be reformed and proposes what could be done.

"A Boolean Approach to Interactive Program Planning." Management Science 26(7): 719-735. Abstract: This article is about program planning for development. The authors describe a Boolean method of program planning called "Interactive Program Planning," the purpose of which is to assess alternatives to various parts of a project and what programs or project alternatives are most acceptable to different interest groups. Based on an algebraic model, it identifies points of disagreements between groups regarding projects, thereby speeding the process of identifying and designing programs that are 1 acceptable to all groups involved. Keywords: development, program planning; technology; Canada. Abucar, Mohammed H. 1995. "The Canadian Experience of Community Development: The Case of Guysborough County." Community Development Journal 30(4): 337-346. Abstract: Abucar discusses the differences in government level community development activity and that of the community level. He argues the trend is for government to try to solve problems of housing, employment and job training. At the community level, groups, organizations, the private sector and labour unions network to alleviate human and/or environmental problems. He describes the case of a development association in Guysborough, Nova Scotia and compares government and community involvement. Keywords: Nova Scotia; Canada; government; work; community development. ACCION International. "Welcome." Boston, MA: ACCION International, Retrieved 06/04, 2003 (http://www.accion.org/default.asp).

"Testing the Tools of Development: Credit Programme, Loan Involvement, and Women's Empowerment." IDS Bulletin 26(3): 56-68. Abstract: The Probit model - increased knowledge of market functions for the borrower; borrower's direct involvement in all aspects of the use of the loans, from production and labour to marketing, is essential for the borrower's empowerment. It is important that institutions that organize micro-lending also make a conscious effort to hire as many women as possible. Keywords: women; credit; empowerment.

Columbia Law Review 99(1): 129-172. Abstract: 1979- Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. "States have not implemented significant measures to live up to commitments made at this convention. NGOs have played an important role in reporting on abuses of women's human rights. Under the convention, states are suppose to submit reports on measures that have been taken to improve the lives of women - however, it has been NGOs that have taken on this role. "As many women's NGOs have realized, getting standards for women's human rights implemented at the local level is not just a matter of treaty law and international legal obligations of States, but is rather a matter of mobilizing the State's political will and capabilities.". Keywords: women's human rights; NGO; state. Ahluwalia, Meenakshi. 1997. "Representing Communities: The Case of a Community-Based Watershed Management Project in Rajasthan, India." IDS Bulletin 28(4): 23-34. Abstract: The failure of many large-scale projects has led to a shift to community-based, small-scale initiatives. These watershed management 3 programs are not only about environmental management, but also about community empowerment with respect to land rights, political awareness, capacity-building, etc. Such projects need to be sensitive to caste and gender issues, especially in the Indian context. Women of different castes had varying access to finding a livelihood through these development projects. The quality of women's lives has actually declined as a result of this project. They have participated very little in the decision-making process, yet their workload has increased substantially. However, because the institutions that repress women are so strong, there has been very little questioning or dissent from women. While some complain about the increased workload it has brought them, there has been very little in the way of real resistance. Keywords: women's work load; India; Asia; capacity building. Ahmad, Mokbul M. 2003. "Distant Voices: The Views of Field Workers of NGO'S in Bangladesh on Microcredit." The Geographical Journal 169(1): 65-74.
