A study of Canadian policy is particularly significant, as Canadian oceans management places in relief many of the difficult questions yet to be resolved....

Land
ISBN: 9780745652764 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Land is one of the world's most emotionally resonant resources, and control over it is fundamental to almost all human activity.

This path-breaking book aims to change that by combining insights from multiple disciplines to develop a framework for understanding the geopolitics of land today. Struggles over land, argues Derek Hall, relate to three basic principles: its role as...
