With urban areas accounting for a steadily growing share of the world's poor people, an international team of researchers focused their attention on the hitherto little-studied relationship between urban governance and urban poverty.In their timely and in-depth examination of ten cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, they demonstrate that in many countries the global trends towards decentralization and democratization offer new opportunities for the poor to have an influence on 606 $aUrban poor$zDeveloping countries 606 $aPoverty$zDeveloping countries 606 $aMunicipal government$zDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aMunicipal government 676 $a339.4/6/091724 701 $aAmis$b Philip$f1956-$0987473 701 $aDevas$b Nick$0251834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450375603321 996 $aUrban governance, voice and poverty in the developing world$92257247 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02835nam 2200661 a 450 001 9910786352703321 005 20230803024747.0 010 $a0-8047-8500-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9780804785006 035 $a(CKB)2670000000276641 035 $a(EBL)1062253 035 $a(OCoLC)818820027 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000780851 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12329705 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000780851 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10803884 035 $a(PQKB)11115847 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000128102 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1062253 035 $a(DE-B1597)563733 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780804785006 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1062253 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10623023 035 $a(OCoLC)1198931455 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000276641 100 $a20120522d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aNathan Birnbaum and Jewish modernity$b[electronic resource] $earchitect of Zionism, Yiddishism, and orthodoxy /$fJess Olson 210 $aStanford, Calif. $cStanford University Press$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (410 p.) 225 0 $aStanford Studies in Jewish History and C 225 0$aStanford studies in Jewish history and culture 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8047-7873-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aDiscovering the nation -- New conflicts, new directions -- Rupture and renaissance -- The eastward gaze -- The origins of an orthodox ideologue -- At home in the fold -- The final ascent. 330 $aThis book explores the life and thought of one of the most important but least known figures in early Zionism, Nathan Birnbaum.
