ISBN: 9780415822800 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the academic study of development is well established, as is also its policy implementation, less considered are the broader, more popular understandings of development that often shape agendas and priorities, particularly in representative democracies. Through its accessible and provocative chapters, "Popular Representations of Development" introduces the idea that while the issue of development defined broadly as problems of poverty and social deprivation, and the various agencies and processes seeking to address these is normally one that is discussed by social scientists...

Economic Development and Political Action in the Arab World
ISBN: 9780415813754 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analysis of North African revolt against authoritarianism, known as the Arab Spring, embraced reductionist explanations such as the social media, youth unemployment and citizens agitations to regain dignity in societies humiliated by oppressive regimes. This book illustrates that reductionist approaches can only elucidate some symptoms of a social problem while leaving unexplained the economic and political structures which contributed to it. One outcome of quiescence, resource-based ethnic and sectarian conflicts and faulty development paradigm is deepened inequality and a wedge between...

Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World
ISBN: 9780415824576 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At Copenhagen in December 2009, the international community agreed to limit global average warming to below two Celsius in order to avoid the worst impacts of induced climate change. Climate scientists now agree that the emissions reduction targets and measures proposed by the international community including Australia at and since Copenhagen, will not achieve this goal. Instead, these commitments would likely produce average global warming of around four degrees by 2100, and to between six and twelve degrees in centuries thereafter. This ambition gap between climate science and climate...

Historicism and Organicism in Economics: The Evolution of Thought
ISBN: 9789401072564 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study looks at the roots of German legacy historistic and organistic economic thought, gives a survey of its development and indicates the present-day significance of these ideas. This approach is also of significance for today's institutional economics, and for the field of environmental and resource economics. In this book these fields of study are referred to in various ways. Essentially, some new ideas appear to be rather old and, what amounts to the same, some old ideas appear to be topical. This is particularly true of the "historical approach" to the economy, with its idea of...

Humankind benefits from a multitude of resources and processes that are supplied by natural ecosystems, and collectively these benefits are known as ecosystem services. Interest in this topic has grown exponentially over the last decade, as economists have tried to quantify these benefits to justify ecosystem management interventions. Yet, as this book demonstrates, the implications for justice and injustice have rarely been explored and works on environmental justice are only now addressing the importance of ecosystem services. The authors establish important new middle ground in...

Re-Shaping Work 2: Labour, the Workplace, and Technological Change
ISBN: 9781551930299 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the second of two volumes of original research undertaken by Canadian trade unionists (the first volume was published in 1995).
The research (known as the Technology Adjustment Research Program, or TARP, of the Ontario Federation of Labour), was unique because, for the first time, government provided resources for workers, rather than just academics and corporations. TARP was established under the Ontario Liberals in 1990, renewed by the NDP government, and subsequently cancelled in 1995 by the newly elected Tory government. Nevertheless, new research has been added to this... This is the second of two volumes of original research undertaken by Canadian trade unionists (the first volume was published in 1995).

Climate-Resilient Development: Participatory solutions from developing countries
ISBN: 9780415820783 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of resilience currently infuses policy debates and public discourse and is promoted as a normative concept in climate policy making by governments, non-governmental organizations, and think-tanks. The book unpicks ideas about Climate Resilient Development as promoted by powerful development policy stakeholders such as the World Bank. It argues that the prescriptions are overwhelmingly technocratic and managerial, and consequently hamper dynamic processes and change. This book critically discusses climate resilient development in the context of current deficiencies of...

Toward a New Climate Agreement: Conflict, Resolution and Governance
ISBN: 9780415643795 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the global community. Although most states agree that climate change is occurring and is at least partly the result of humans reliance on fossil fuels, managing a changing global climate is a formidable challenge. Underlying this challenge is the fact that states are sovereign, governed by their own laws and regulations. Sovereignty requires that states address global problems such as climate change on a voluntary basis, by negotiating international agreements. Despite a consensus on the need for global action, many questions... Climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the global community.
