Описание: This book considers the impact of digital media and technology on lived experience for young people in foster care. While the extent and intricacies of foster care—known as out-of-home care (OOHC) in Australia, where this study takes place—are not widely understood by the general public, youth in care might struggle to construct a personal identity that goes beyond reflecting the stereotypes and stigma by which they are often recognised. In today’s digital environment, media can play a significant role in any individual’s developing sense of self, identity, and belonging. Deitz and Sheridan Burns examine OOHC through the lens of networked media environments and investigate the conditions that encourage belonging and resilience in order to establish the role that digital technology can play in supporting those conditions for individuals, family networks, and the care sector.

Описание: This book sets out to discuss what kind of ‘middle power’ Australia is, and whether its identity as a middle power negatively influences its relationship with Asia. It looks at the history of the middle power concept, develops three concepts of middle power status and examines Australia’s relationships with China, Japan and Indonesia as a focus. It argues that Australia is an ‘awkward partner’ in its relations with Asia due to both its historical colonial and discriminatory past, as well its current dependence upon the United States for a security alliance. It argues this should be changed by adopting a new middle power concept in Australian foreign policy.

Описание: Welfare states can have both social care (humanitarian) and social control (oppressive) functions.

The charities sector in Australia is big. There are over 600,000 not-for-profit organisations which together in 2015-16 generated more than $150 billion in income--fifty per cent more than the agricultural sector. De Maria's book is the first to chart the history of the sector and the way in which it has been transformed from a government-led system for providing support to people experiencing need across the society to a neoliberal business operation, the underlying goal of which is the privatisation of welfare.
De Maria shows that the changes in the sector have increased its vulnerability to corruption, which is now present at disturbing levels. He describes key ways in which corruption in charities is carried out. Case studies are presented drawing on detailed historical and forensic evidence, where appropriate using police and court documents.
The book also includes a valuable review of the role of the national charity regulator, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. De Maria argues that, rather than providing the solution, the regulator itself has now become part of the problem. His provocative challenge for a review and renewal of the sector and the way in which it is regulated will inevitably generate intense debate.
William De Maria is a Queensland academic with a long history of social activism. He is the author of "Deadly Disclosures: Whistleblowing and the Ethical Meltdown of Australia" (Wakefield 1999). He is represented in "Radicals in Australian Social Work" (Connor Court 2018).
