Cambridge University Press Sustainability Science
Book SynopsisFully updated, this second edition provides a class-tested system analysis approach to sustainability for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The latest scientific data and insights are integrated into a broad transdisciplinary framework. Readers explore sustainability issuesthrough the lenses of cultural and methodological pluralism.Trade Review'In this new edition, Bert de Vries sets the foundation of sustainability science through systems thinking. This could not be timelier as socio-ecological turbulence increasingly becomes the norm, as predicted in the Club of Rome report. Rooted in the history of civilizations and modernity, embedding ethics and worldview diversity, we are invited to explore how wellbeing, education or nature awareness may build a sustainable future, with pertinent analyses in all sectors, from forest and fisheries to water management, materials or energy. This is a mustread for all Earthlings.' Olivier Hamant, Director of the Michel-Serres Institute'Technical and accessible are generally seen as dichotomous. De Vries proves the opposite is true with this masterful introduction to the essential building blocks of sustainability science. The book goes well beyond its promise of methodological pluralism by providing mathematical, biophysical, economic, social and cultural lenses to help us understand and respond to the ecological and climate crisis.' Piotr Magnuszewski, Scientific Director, Centre for Systems Solutions, Wrocław'Sustainability science is the means by which a fractured and unequal world of 8+ billion people can map the systemic challenges of the Anthropocene, to bring together the transformational actions that will help us navigate the twenty-first century. Bert de Vries' seminal text provides us the worldviews, values and methods to chart these transitions to a better, more equal and sustainable world.' Aromar Revi, Director, IIHS Bangalore City Campus'Stewarding our planet towards a safe and just future requires nothing less than a deep scientific understanding of the functioning of our Earth system, and a truly holistic view of how nature, humanity and the physical world share a common fate. This book propagates this message in a unique way, offering scholars and students a first step towards informed agency.' Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK); Professor of Earth System Science, University of Potsdam; Chief Scientist, Conservation International'Bert de Vries reveals the secret to making the world sustainable. And no, it's not technology. It is our adoption of alternate worldviews that reflect our values and beliefs, such as individualism, collectivism, consumerism, or frugality. These shape our choices and actions for the planet, and determine whether we help or harm sustainability. This book is essential for anyone who wants to foster sustainability.' Anupam Saraph, Sustainability and Systems Leadership Mentor'Sustainability science has evolved over decades to address a fundamental challenge: the decline and collapse of socio-ecosystems driven by a political economy too narrowly defined by goals and policies of only one or a few disciplines. Bert de Vries ably succeeds in showing how to expand the range of enquiry to embrace perspectives from many disciplines, as well as from the wider world of enterprise and governance. But he further offers a unique perspective that makes this edition of his text invaluable in showing how to look below the transdisciplinary layer that defines trends, causal mechanisms and policies to see the worldviews and paradigms that generate and sustain them. Using systems science to integrate horizontally across disciplines, and vertically from trends down to mental models, offers the reader the most comprehensive set of analytical tools in the sustainability field. Essential reading.' Jan Sendzimir, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis'Sustainability Science by Bert de Vries presents a truly transdisciplinary and pluralistic approach to understanding human–environment interactions for improving and maintaining human well-being. Guided by worldview frameworks and systems thinking, this book impressively integrates the myriad parts of geography, ecology, philosophy, epistemology, history, culture, ethics and religion into the whole of sustainability. It is remarkably comprehensive, insightful and thought-provoking.'

Cambridge University Press Netanyahu vs The Generals
Book SynopsisBenjamin Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister and known to his supporters as 'Mr. Security'. This book explains the paradox of the intense mutual distrust between Netanyahu and the Israeli security community, which rejects his leadership and approach to national security.Trade Review'A major reason why Netanyahu is the longest serving PM in Israel is his ability to recognize potential leaders that might challenge him personally and disarm them. Yet the entire Israeli military elite confronts Bibi also because of an additional reason: Contrary to their professional approach to the Palestinians and the occupied territories, which is flexible and pragmatic, Bibi's attitude is essentially ideological. This book provides an excellent background to the military's longtime opposition to Bibi and to his attempt to overhaul of the judicial system in the summer of 2023.' Yoram Peri, Professor Emeritus and Former Kay Chair and Director of Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies, University of Maryland'Guy Ziv has assembled an impressive array of published material and significant interviews to produce an important study of the relationship between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's military leaders. Ziv answers a critical issue that has confounded policymakers and the public: In a society in which the Israeli military has been held in such high esteem, why have voters tended to believe Netanyahu over the generals on such important issues as the future of the peace process and Israel's relations with Iran?' Daniel Kurtzer, Former US Ambassador to Israel and Egypt and Professor at Princeton University'This book is absolutely essential for understanding how Israel finds itself today in one of the most precarious security realities it has ever experienced. Ziv traces how, for years, Israel's entire security establishment - including military leaders and Israel's internal, and external intelligence community - has relentlessly warned against the dire consequences of the policies advanced by the country's longest serving Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Through an in-depth examination of the evolution of civil-military relations under Netanyahu, he explains the underpinning of a central paradox in Israeli politics, namely, why while many Israelis see Netanyahu as 'Mr. Security,' Israel's security establishment 'has long viewed him as a security liability'.' Lihi Ben Shitrit, Henry and Marilyn Taub Associate Professor of Israel Studies, New York University'Ziv tells a fascinating story of a nation which prioritized security as a central need since its early days, which has repeatedly yearned for leaders with rich security backgrounds, and which has recently found itself under a prime minister accused of jeopardizing that very same security for advancing personal political and judicial agendas … a vital read for anyone interested in learning about Israel's political and security history, but also for those seeking a solid basis of understanding to follow domestic transitions that the war in Gaza may bring.' Nimrod Goren, Senior Fellow for Israel Affairs at the Middle East Institute, and President and Founder of Mitvim - The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies'A brilliant account on how a single person driven by personal interests harmed Israel's core values, national security, collective solidarity, and long-term interests. Ziv systemically analyses how Netanyahu's hollow populist nationalism unravelled the country's identity as the secure, democratic nation-state of the Jewish People.' Gilead Sher, Former chief of staff of Israeli Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Ehud Barak, senior peace negotiator, and author of Reflections on Conflict Resolution in the Middle East and BeyondTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press Empowering Affected Interests
Book SynopsisMany demands for democratic inclusion rest on a simple yet powerful idea. It''s a principle of affected interests. The principle states that all those affected by a collective decision should have a say in making that decision. Yet, in today''s highly globalized world, the implications of this ''All-Affected Principle'' are potentially radical and far-reaching. Empowering Affected Interests brings together a distinguished group of leading democratic theorists and philosophers to debate whether and how to rewrite the rules of democracy to account for the increasing interdependence of states, markets, and peoples. It examines the grounds that justify democratic inclusion across borders of states, localities, and the private sector, on topics ranging from immigration and climate change to labor markets and philanthropy. The result is an original and important reassessment of the All-Affected Principle and its alternatives that advances our understanding of the theory and practice of democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.Table of ContentsIntroduction Archon Fung and Sean W.D. Gray; Part I. Subjection, Interaction, Power and Domination: 1.
