Knowledge-Driven Development
ISBN: 9783838367507 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Their common denominator is the idea that knowledge is replacing land, labor, financial capital or physical capital to become the key factor of production. The book attempts to review the possibilities and...

With the new compact in place one would expect Ethiopia, a country that...

Integrating an European Administrative Space
ISBN: 9783838343693 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As one cornerstone of European integration, administrative integration denotes how national bureaucracies and the EU administrative apparatus increasingly intermesh, interact and ultimately integrate.

Governance in Combating Desertification in Peru
ISBN: 9783838385099 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Considered one of the global environmental problems, desertification - land degradation in arid regions - has been high in the international agenda since the 1970s. However, its solution is far from being achieved, partly due to its complex and site-specific chain of causes and partly to the inefficacy of the institutional arrangements devised to tackle it: the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and its national implementation. Drawing on the literature on governance for natural resource management, this book analyses the desertification control strategy in Peru focusing on Apurimac, a...

ISBN: 9783843365727 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Development theories and practice continue to renew themselves, anticipating that they will eventually re-compose themselves into sharper tools for meaningful development outcomes. Among the 'modern' tools used by development practitioners is Public participation, which continues to occupy a large space in development debates. Elegant as it continues to be, in some quaters public participation is beginning to suggest that, it might be running out of steam. Or is it that development practitioners got it wrong in the efforts to operationalise it? This work disentagles issues that sustain...
