Taylor & Francis Ltd Balancing the Commons in Switzerland
Book SynopsisBalancing the Commons in Switzerland outlines continuity and change in the management of common-pool resources such as pastures and forests in Switzerland.The book focuses on the differences and similarities between local institutions (rules and regulations) and forms of commoners' organisations (corporations of citizens and corporations) which have managed common property for several centuries and have shaped the cultural landscapes of Switzerland. At the core of the book are five case studies from the German, French and Italian speaking regions of Switzerland. Beginning in the Late Middle Ages and focusing on the transformative periods in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it traces the internal and external political, economic and societal changes and examines what impact these changes had on commoners. It goes beyond the work of Robert Netting and Elinor Ostrom, who discussed Swiss commons as a unique case of robustness, by analysing how local commoneTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Developmental States beyond East Asia
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive volume reviews recent scholarship regarding the role of the state in economic development. With a wide range of case studies of both successful and failed state-led development, the authors push the analysis of the developmental state beyond its original limitations and into the 21st century.New policies, institutional configurations, and state-market relations are emerging outside of East Asia, as new developmental states move beyond the historical experience of East Asian development. The authors argue for the continued relevance of the âdevelopmental stateâ and for understanding globalization and structural transformation through the lens of this approach. They further this concept by applying it to analyses of China, Latin America, and Africa, as well as to new frontiers of state-led development in Japan and the East Asian developmental states. This book expands the scope of research on state-led development to encompass new theoretical and methoTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Emergency Preparedness through Community Cohesion
Book SynopsisThis book is a revision of the authorâs original doctoral thesis on emergency preparedness through community radio in North Indian villages into a widening array of possible reapplications in other community development fields. The author expands on the process of transforming emergency preparedness education through community media in rural North India and applies this to the development of community-prosperity, defined simply as human and planetary well-being, anywhere in the world. A new theoretical framework is presented which combines the pivotal Integral Worlds Approach developed by Lessem and Schieffer with Critical Theory, thus exploring a new way to envision and implement social change, leading to innovation and social transformation.This book introduces the term constructive resilience, which is a type of community-building that occurs alongside dominant societal structures that are either oppressive or ineffective. An evolving field of study anTrade Review"Dr. Jean Parker, through participatory research and her own personal experience, develops a compelling case for the new evolving community development paradigm of Constructive Resilience emanating from the Baha’i Faith and provides real examples of its applications that will serve as a blueprint for community development worldwide." — Nabil Elias, PhD, Faculty Emeritus, Belk College of Business, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA"Environmental degradation and extreme weather disproportionally impact vulnerable communities. Dr. Parker’s research in India shows us how relying on a community’s wisdom and skills, and using an egalitarian consultative process, builds community cohesion and facilitates emergency preparedness that mitigates the impacts of disasters. Popular education delivered by community radio are crucial tools. This approach also advances community development and has global applicability." — K. Scott Wood, Professor (Retired), School for Resource and Environmental Studies, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada "Integral development is a cornerstone of effective community projects. The successful implementation of Jean’s newly created Intecritical framework, with the community of Uttarakhand, lends credence to this. The power of the process lies in its respectful co-creation with the community which led to conscious-raising and a level of empowerment that enabled the joint crafting of local solutions which ensured long-term sustainable impacts for the community." — Dr Loshnee Naidoo, (PhD) (Integral Development), Multi-award winning Development SpecialistTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Geographies of Food and Power
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the production and consumption of food, suitable for use in undergraduate classrooms, either at the intermediate or advanced level. It takes an intersectional approach to difference and power and approaches standard subjects in the geography of food with a fresh perspective focusing on inequality, uneven production and legacies of colonialism. The book also focuses on places and regions often overlooked in conventional narratives, such as the Americas in the domestication of plants. The topics covered in the textbook include: descriptions and analyses of food systems histories of agricultural development with a focus on the roles of different regions major commodities such as meat, grains and produce with a focus on the place of production contemporary challenges in the food system, including labor, disasters/conflict and climate change reTrade Review"This is the geography textbook for the class I always wished I’d taken, progressing from introductory concepts to sophisticated analysis over the arc of a semester. With terrific suggestions for supplementary reading, watching, and discussion, Amy Trauger’s Geographies of Food and Power is set to become a classic foundation for generations of geographers." Raj Patel, Research Professor, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, USA. "Geographies of Food and Power makes a critical contribution to ongoing debates about the historical and contemporary structures of our food system along with the social and environmental implications. Using an intersectional lens, Trauger introduces several concepts and theoretical perspectives to reveal challenges and point to promising pathways forward. This is an essential text for students of geography and food studies along with anyone interested in just and sustainable food futures." Charles Z. Levkoe, Canada Research Chair in Equitable and Sustainable Food Systems, Lakehead University, Canada.
