    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book explores the present conflictual relationship between the economy, the environment, and society. The current mainstream economic model is analysed from the perspective of the founding economists to review its suitability to tackle issues of sustainable development. The problems of redistribution and social justice are debated at length; alongside those concerning the giant state, degrowth, and a vision of sustainability that is founded on the idea of a self-regulating free market economy. Business cycle sustainability, anti-crisis therapy, technological unemployment, the natural rate of interest, and the Bruntland matrix are also examined.This book aims to present a holistic approach to sustainable development where social, ecological, and economic components are balanced. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in this topic.Table of ContentsChapter 1. First Steps In Perverting Sustainability.- Chapter 2. In Search Of A Lost Lesson.- Chapter 3.

  • The Economics of Climate Change in Argentina

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Economics of Climate Change in Argentina

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this volume, the contributors discuss some of the most remarkable global warming effects in Argentina and examine policies that Latin American countries could follow to achieve their individual climate goals. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues today. However, after many years of climate negotiations, the world has failed to introduce a common global policy. Differences in countries' climate agendas have led to unsuccessful efforts. Countries willing to pursue a climate policy have sought alternative strategies to mitigate and adapt to global warming's consequences within their jurisdiction. In this context, Latin American countries' role in shaping the regional climate agenda is yet to be explored. The book covers some papers from the well-received "First Workshop on Environmental Economics and Energy" in Argentina. Using data from Argentina, the contributors analyze the effects of global warming on agricultural yields and the impact of extreme weather on human health. From a global perspective, the contributors also describe the interactions between a reduction in carbon emissions, carbon emissions intensity, and economic growth; the role that trade policies can play to reduce carbon emissions; and the paradoxes that arise from promoting renewable energies in the region. The contributors also address the relationship between sustainability and economic growth; the private sector's role in shaping policies and providing sustainable solutions; and the Latin American challenges for the next generation. The book will be of interest to policy-makers, academics, researchers, and professionals worldwide working in climate change impacts and policy. It will also appeal to a general audience interested in climate change economics, its consequences, and the steps that countries in Latin America can take to move forward.Trade Review“Readers who are not trained in quantitative research will benefit from the book because the explanations and interpretations provided by the authors are comprehensible and, in most cases, also plausible. … The book provides valuable insights and demonstrates that convincing findings on the Global South … . Social scientists trained in qualitative research will be motivated to use these findings as a starting point … .” (Sören Scholvin, European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Issue 112, 2021)Table of ContentsChapter 1) IntroductionChapter 2) The impact of extreme temperatures on mortality risks in Argentina – by Christian Garcia and Mariano Javier RabassaChapter 3) Mitigation and adaptation processes in crop yields.

  • The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book presents extensions to current commodity-flow models to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of recent structural changes, such as fragmentation of production and lengthening supply chains. The extensions enable augmented commodity-flow models to analyze the vulnerability of supply chains and regions to climate change and extreme weather events. The models allow the explicit treatment of trade in intermediate goods; the so-called “new economic geography” behavioral foundations for production and inter-industry and interregional trade; endogenous determination of capital investment and employment; and changes in emissions associated with production, consumption and freight movement. Presenting a modeling framework and simulations that are based on a thirty-year, spatial time-series of inter-industry and interstate trade in the US, this unique book is a valuable resource for regional scientists, economic geographers and transportation modelers, as well as environmental and atmospheric scientists.Table of ContentsSee attachments

  • Development Practice in Eastern and Southern

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG Development Practice in Eastern and Southern

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is a rare collection of reflective and reflexive stories that reveal how seasoned academics, agents of grassroots social change, leaders and journalists transformed and shaped the development landscape in eastern and southern Africa. Whereas practical experiences are crucial assets and resources for shaping the academic environment and development practice landscape, most of the existing literature recommended as key learning materials in tertiary institutions is rarely in synch with the practical realities of development practice. The shared individual lived experiences from academic endeavours and fieldwork provide hands-on tools for students and emerging practitioners who might be involved in or are currently facilitating development work. The thrust of the book, therefore, is to demystify the day-to-day experiences of development practitioners while contributing to learning pathways or strategies for achieving viable solutions to the myriad of challenges, which grassroots communities face. The relevance of the book as a crucial resource for students pursuing development-oriented degree programmes in colleges and universities is obvious. Without any doubt, the compilation will be handy in the implementation of diverse development-oriented transformation agenda at academic, programming and policy levels.Table of ContentsCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 2: FIELD RESEARCH AND DATA COLLECTION CHAPTER 3: BUILDING CAPACITY FOR DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMMES CHAPTER 4: CULTURE, GENDER DYNAMICS AND SCIENCE COMMUNICATIONCHAPTER 5: STORIES from Rural Development programmes CHAPTER 6: SYNTHESIS CHAPTER 7: CONCLUSION

  • The Origins of Inequality: Mechanisms, Models,

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Origins of Inequality: Mechanisms, Models,

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book presents a unified approach to the problem of inequality, combining results from a variety of research fields – the human life cycle, group dynamics, networks, markets, and economic geography. Its main message is that inequality emerges as the natural result of mechanisms operating both in individual human development and in social interaction. It posits that inequality is not an anomalous deviation from a naturally egalitarian social structure; quite to the contrary, inequality is to be expected as part of the human condition. The author states that the growth of inequality, on the other hand, is not a natural law – the level and character of inequality can be affected by collective decisions. This perspective on human inequality has potentially far-reaching consequences both for the political philosophy of inequality and for public policy-making.This book is of interest to a wide interdisciplinary social science readership, including public policy, decision sciences, economic geography, and life course studies. Trade Review“The Origins of Inequality. Mechanisms, Models, Policy is a thoughtful and thought-provoking survey of studies on the causes, conditions and factors associated with inequality. Viewed as a survey it is quite comprehensive and suitable for independent study as well as for classroom use. … Molander aims at — and to a large extent succeeds in — making sense of the processes that result in inequalities. … Molander makes a strong case to the contrary. The case is well worth studying in detail.” (Hannu Nurmi, The Journal of Economic Inequality, Vol. 20, 2022)Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction.Chapter 2: Preliminaries.Chapter 3: Life-cycle development.Chapter 4: Interaction within and between groups.Chapter 5: Spatial inequality.Chapter 6: Static versus dynamic inequality – mathematical analysis.Chapter 7: Philosophical and political considerations.Chapter 8: Conclusions.

  • Nature, Society, and Marginality: Case Studies

    Springer International Publishing AG Nature, Society, and Marginality: Case Studies

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the interrelations between nature and humans, in particular on those segments of societies that have been left behind (marginal groups). Nature is both the friend of humans and their adversary, depending on the way people treat and use it. Consequently, the book adopts a wide perspective of marginality: nature that has been marginalized by man (ecological marginality), but also social groups marginalized by politics, economic interests, and value judgements imbedded in culture. Many chapters deal specifically with issues in Nepal, but along with the other chapters with case studies from Southeast Asia and other regions, they demonstrate that the major man-nature problems are the same everywhere and can only be solved by constructive politics through clear regulations, convincing actions and general acceptance.Table of Contents​Part I Introduction1 Natural disasters, marginal regions and labor migration Pushkar K Pradhan and Walter LeimgruberPart II Human interference and natural systems2 Environmental un-sustainability or the cost of civilization Walter Leimgruber3 Climate change and health impacts on vulnerable communities: the case of kala-azar (Visceral Leishmaniasis) in Nepal Bandana Pradhan and Birgit Kuna4 Cryosphere changes, cascading disasters, and societies – a case in Langtang valley Binaya Pasakhala, Amina Maharjan, Sabarnee Tuladhar, Arabinda MishraPart III Geomorphological and Water issues: Nepal and Brazil5 Urbanization and soil erosion in the Kathmandu Valley, NepalChhabi L Chidi6 Assessing terrain hazards for sustainable human settlements in Chāngunārāyan municipality of the Kathmandu Valley, NepalKrishna Karkee, Shakti Gurung and Anish Joshi 7 River ecology services and riparian communities in the Tāmākoshi River Basin, central NepalUttam S Shrestha and Saruna Amatya Shrestha8 Traditional water supply systems and Sponge City Concept toward improving environmental marginalization in Kirtipur municipality, NepalGyanu R Maharjan 9 Everyday water use: vulnerability and resistance in Kathmandu Valley, NepalShobha Shrestha and Devi P Poudel 10 Marginalized urban rivers: between local governance and environmental justiceIvaldo Lima Part IV Economy and society: Nepal and Southeast Asia11 Empowerment of Dalit Women’s Groups through micro-finance and social capital in NepalChikako Aoki and Pushkar K Pradhan 12 Informal marketing and livelihood of marginal communities in urban Kathmandu Valley, NepalPuspa Sharma 13 Farmers’ access to agriculture development services in eastern hills of Nepal: a case of the Tinjure-Milke Watershed RegionShyam P.

  • Labour Control and Union Agency in Global

    Springer International Publishing AG Labour Control and Union Agency in Global

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book puts Indian garment workers and their organisations at the centre of the analysis. Taking the Bangalore export-garment cluster as a case study, the book explores the conditions that enable but also constrain the capacities of garment workers’ unions to build collective power vis-à-vis employers and thereby improve their conditions. Drawing on theoretical concepts from labour geography, relational economic geography, and Global Production Network (GPN) analysis, the book highlights, on the one hand, how the complex labour control regime in the Bangalore export-garment cluster poses manifold challenges and constraints for workers’ and unions’ collective agency. On the other hand, the book illustrates the various networked agency strategies that local garment unions in Bangalore have developed over the years to overcome these constraints by tapping into coalitional power resources from worker, consumer and labour rights organisations in the Global North.This book is therefore highly relevant for economic geographers and other scholars interested in dynamics of labour and development in GPNs as well as for unionists and labour rights activists committed to improving working conditions in the global garment industry.This is an open access book.Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction.- Chapter 1.

    Book SynopsisIt is time to leave capitalism behind. In Prosperity without Greed, Sahra Wagenknecht shows that we live in a system of economic feudalism that has nothing to do with a free market economy, where the innovations we require to solve myriad important societal problems are not forthcoming. How can it be, Wagenknecht asks, that technological developments financed by the taxpayer end up enriching private companies even if those companies’ activities violate public interests? Through clear analysis and concrete proposals, Wagenknecht suggestss new forms of ownership and sketches the outlines of an innovative and just economy that instead promotes and rewards talent, real performance, and start-ups with groundbreaking ideas.

  • Fragrant Frontier: Global Spice Entanglements from the Sino-Vietnamese Uplands: 2022

    NIAS Press Fragrant Frontier: Global Spice Entanglements from the Sino-Vietnamese Uplands: 2022

    Book SynopsisSince its inception over two millennia ago, the spice trade has connected and transformed the environments, politics, cultures, and cuisines of vastly different societies around the world. The ‘magical’ qualities of spices mean they offer more than a mere food flavoring, often evoking memories of childhood events or specific festivals. Although spices are frequently found in our kitchen cupboards, how they get there has something of a mythical allure. In this ethnographically rich and insightful study, the authors embark on a journey of demystification that starts in the Sino-Vietnamese uplands with three spices – star anise, black cardamom, and cassia (cinnamon) – and ends on dining tables across the globe. This book foregrounds the experiences of ethnic minority farmers cultivating these spices, highlighting nuanced entanglements among livelihoods, environment, ethnic identity, and external pressures, as well as other factors at play. It then investigates the complex commodity chains that move and transform these spices from upland smallholdings and forests in this frontier to global markets, mapping the flows of spices, identifying the numerous actors involved, and teasing out critical power imbalances. Finally, it focuses on value-creation and the commoditization of these spices across a spectrum of people and places. This rich and carefully integrated volume offers new insights into upland frontier livelihoods and the ongoing implications of the contemporary agrarian transition. Moreover, it bridges the gap in our knowledge regarding how these specific spices, cultivated for centuries in the mountainous Sino-Vietnamese uplands, become everyday ingredients in Global North food, cosmetics, and medicines. Links to online resources, including story maps, provide further insights and visual highlights.

    Book SynopsisUpdated and revised to include theoretical and other developments, bibliographical additions, new photographs and illustrations, and expanded name and subject indexes, the fourth edition of All Possible Worlds: A History of Geographical Ideas is the most complete and comprehensive book of its kind. The text also features a layout and readability that make the material easy to navigate and understand. The book investigates the ways in which the subject of geography has been recognized, perceived, and evaluated, from its early acknowledgment in ancient Greece to its disciplined form in today''s world of shared ideas and mass communication. Strong continuities knit the Classical Period to the Age of Exploration, then carry students on through Varenius to Humboldt and Ritter--revealing the emergence of the new geography of the Modern Period. The history of American geography--developed in seven of the twenty chapters--is strongly emphasized pursuant to the formal origins of geography in Trade Review"Since its first appearance in 1972, All Possible Worlds has become an indispensable reference text for courses in the history of geography. Offering a broad historical sweep of the scholarly record from classical, medieval, and modern times, it also affords succinct summary accounts of twentieth-century geography and geographers in North America and in a wide range of countries. This new edition, carefully revised and updated by Geoffrey Martin, with its ample illustrations and expanded index, promises a welcome maintenance of this highly laudable contribution to cross-cultural understanding in the practice of geography internationally."--Anne Buttimer, President of the International Geographical Union, 2000-2004"What a pleasure! All Possible Worlds is back. Geoffrey Martin's work is a wonderful 'tour de force'-a clear panorama of the evolution of geography from Greece to the present with a fair view on its emerging trends both in the English-speaking world and elsewhere."--Paul Claval, University of Paris, Sorbonne"This book--a study in the history of geographical thought--sweeps majestically from the ancient Greeks to the present. It has been published in four languages other then English and has been the most comprehensive work on the subject since its inception in 1972 when I first used it as the text in my 'Nature of Geography' course. This is essential reading for all geographers."--Peter Nash, University of Waterloo, Canada"After thirty-odd years, All Possible Worlds remains without peer: a uniquely valuable treasure for anyone curious about the evolution of geographic thought and achievement throughout the world from ancient times to a troubled present. Perhaps what is most remarkable about this chronicle is the judicious manner with which the author deals with endlessly contentious philosophies and methodologies. We have here an essential item for the library of every serious geographer."--Wilbur Zelinsky, The Pennsylvanuia State UniversityTable of ContentsPREFACE; PART ONE: CLASSICAL; PART TWO: MODERN

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Growing Trend of Living Small

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines the growing trend for housing models that shrink private living space and seeks to understand the implications of these shrinking domestic worlds. Small spaces have become big business. Reducing the size of our homes, and the amount of stuff within them, is increasingly sold as a catch-all solution to the stresses of modern life and the need to reduce our carbon footprint. Shrinking living space is being repackaged in a neoliberal capitalist context as a lifestyle choice rather than the consequence of diminishing choice in the face of what has become a long-term housing crisis'. What does this mean for how we live in the long term, and is there a dark side to the promise of a simpler, more sustainable home life? Shrinking Domesticities brings together research from across the social sciences, planning and architecture to explore these issues. From co-living developments to the Tiny House Movement, self-storage units to practices of de-stuffification', and dTable of ContentsIntroduction;1 Co-living Housing-as-a-Service and COVID-19: Micro-housing and Institutional Precarity-Tegan Bergan & Rae Dufty-Jones; 2 Shifting Domesticities in the Metropole Hotel-Jeffrey Kruth; 3 Political Narratives of Shrinking Domesticities in Helsinki and Vienna-Johanna Lilius, Michael Friesenecker & Maximilian Krankl;4 Shrinking aspirations: the potential impact of Build to Rent models on housing transitions-Daniel Durrant & Frances Brill; 5 Glamorising the materiality of ‘living small’: De-stuffocation, storage, and tiny living aesthetics-Jen Owen; 6 Freedom or dispossession?
