Spaces of Social Exclusion
Authors: Gough, Jamie; Eisenschitz, Adam ; McCulloch, Andrew
Publication Date: 2005
In all developed countries - though to widely varying extents - a minority of the population suffers from deprivation. The Labour Government in Britain in particular has sought to conceptualize and deal with this through the notion of 'Social Exclusion': similar ideas have been found in other countries.
"Spaces of Social Exclusion" explores the forms of this contemporary economic and social disadvantage and in particular, its social and spatial ca...

Tuberculosis and Social Exclusion
Authors: Story, A.; van Hest, R.; Hayward, A.
Journal Name: British Medical Journal
Publication Date: 2006
In developed countries most patients with tuberculosis are not infectious, can readily access health services, and complete treatment successfully with minimal supervision from a health worker. As a result they make only limited demands on services and pose little public health risk. By contrast, many socially excluded patients are at risk of delayed presentation, poor adherence, and loss to follow-up. A recent persistent outbreak in London including over 220 drug resistant cases...

Social Exclusion: a Kind OR Process?
Authors: Gingrich, Luann Good; Canadian Council on Social Development
Publication Date: 2003
It is increasingly accepted as common sense, in political and academic arenas alike, that the idea of social inclusion represents an indisputable social value and an inspired direction for social policy. Yet a review of the literature reveals that the term, along with its assumed opposite – social exclusion – is frequently inserted without definition or explanation. Preferred articulations of social inclusion are predicated on associated views abou...

The Child Benefits Debate, the Progressive Sector, and the Discourse on 'Social Exclusion'
Authors: Wendy McKeen; Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD)
Publication Date: 2003
...central question is how have progressive actors responded to the newly emerged discourse on 'social exclusion'? While 'social exclusion' is increasingly being pronounced by international agencies and in general terms by the Canadian government, I ask whether and how this discourse is penetrating the more particular debate on child benefits. Has the concept of "social exclusion (or inclusion)" replaced "poverty" (child poverty) as a keyword in th...

Review of Artisans of Democracy: How Ordinary People, Families in Extreme Poverty, and Social Institutions Become Allies to Overcome Social Exclusion
Authors: Cnaan, Ram A.
Journal Name: Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly
Publication Date: 2002
As a longtime reader and contributor to NVSQ, I have been occupied for quite a while with trying to select what book is worthy of a review in NVSQ. So many new books cover aspects of the nonprofit sector or voluntary action, or both, that the list of books alone would take the entire space allocated for book reviews. Rarely do I encounter a book that is unknown by most scholars in the field yet that is pivotal to what we collectively stand for. Rosenfeld and Tardieu's book epitomizes the entire nonpro...

Journal Name: Journal of Experimental Social Psychology
Publication Date: 2009
...the threat of social exclusion for uncooperative behavior may effectively counter the temptation to follow the example of such “bad apples”. It is shown that (a) the threat of exclusion is sufficient to counter the temptation to follow a few bad apples’ example, (b) such threats cannot, however, overcome the cooperation-degrading effects of large numbers (e.g., a majority) of bad apples, and (c) the effectiveness of such threats may be greater in relatively smaller groups...

It's the Thought That Counts: The Role of Hostile Cognition in Shaping Aggressive Responses to Social Exclusion
Authors: DeWall, Nathan C.; Twenge, Jean M.; Gitter, Seth A.; Baumeister, Roy F.
Journal Name: Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
Publication Date: 2009
Prior research has confirmed a casual path between social rejection and aggression, but there has been no clear explanation of why social rejection causes aggression. A series of experiments tested the hypothesis that social exclusion increases the inclination to perceive neutral information as hostile, which has implications for aggression. Compared to accepted and control participants, socially excluded participants were more likely to rate aggressive and...

This study begins to explore how young people living on the street in one Canadian city und...

Rather, the life of homeless youth involves the implementation of diverse practices and types of expertise which are generally underestimated or qualified as exclusion strategies.

The Paradoxes of Social, Inclusion
Authors: Paul Bernard; Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD)
Publication Date: 2003
Social inclusion is one of a collection of quasi-concepts (social exclusion, social cohesion, social capital, among others) that political actors borrow from social scientists, and use to ascertain, and to transform the overall situation of societies. If such notions are to be of any use to sociology, they must be considerably tightened from a theoretical point of view. This cannot be achieved with an illusory search for the "real" meaning of these...
