Publisher Description:
Arguing that many traditional forms of actionaid programs, government policies, social interventionsare often ineffective and even socially disruptive, this treatise proposes a movement toward "gentle" actions: those that take into account the fragile ecology of an organization, a city, or a group of people. Whether exploring micro-lending, cattle donations, trade training, or even community gardens, the book provides numerous examples in which knee-jerk reactions can be eschewed in favor of carefully considered and locally sensitive strategies, often to great effect. Each chapter concludes with a series of questions and challenges that encourage the reader to undergo a period of creative suspension a time during which he should resist the temptation of immediate action and instead contemplate the details and complexities of the situationprior to proceeding."Sosteniendo que muchas formas tradicionales de accionprogramas de ayuda, politicas gubernamentales, intervenciones socialesson a menudo ineficaces y aun socialmente perjudiciales, este tratado propone un movimiento hacia acciones" " ""suaves: aquellas que tienen en cuenta la ecologia fragil de una organizacion, una ciudad o un grupo de personas. Ya sean la microfinanciacion, las donaciones de ganado, el entrenamiento comercial o hasta jardines comunitarios, el libro provee numerosos ejemplos en los cuales las reacciones automaticas pueden ser descartadas a favor de estrategias detenidamente consideradas y localmente sensibles, a menudo con muy buenos resultados. Cada capitulo concluye con una serie de preguntas y retos que animan al lector a someterse a un periodo de suspension creativa un tiempo durante el cual deberia resistir la tentacion de la accion inmediata y mas bien contemplar los detalles y las complejidades de la situacionantes de proceder.""
