Taylor & Francis Ltd Climate Change
Book SynopsisWritten by a leading geographer of climate, this book offers a unique guide to students and general readers alike for making sense of this profound, far-reaching, and contested idea. It presents climate change as an idea with a past, a present, and a future.In ten carefully crafted chapters, Climate Change offers a synoptic and inter-disciplinary understanding of the idea of climate change from its varied historical and cultural origins; to its construction more recently through scientific endeavour; to the multiple ways in which political, social, and cultural movements in today's world seek to make sense of and act upon it; to the possible futures of climate, however it may be governed and imagined. The central claim of the book is that the full breadth and power of the idea of climate change can only be grasped from a vantage point that embraces the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. This vantage point is what the book offers, written from Trade Review"As with Mike Hulme’s career, this book ranges between the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. In doing so, it offers an interdisciplinary - and explicitly geographical - perspective on the ‘key idea’ of climate change. In 10 thoughtful chapters, Hulme opens up and extends understanding of the ways in which the idea of climate change is mediated through culture and politics. Selected key readings, provocative questions and scholar portraits increase the book’s usability. I look forward to using it in my teaching practice."Saffron O’Neill, Associate Professor, Department of Geography, University of Exeter, UK"Is there a more contemporary ‘key idea’ than climate change? In this compelling overview, Hulme tracks how ideas of climate change have varied in space and time, and across cultural groups. From art to religion, from scepticism to cli-fi, he contextualises (and challenges) the matter-of-factness of a scientific view of climate change. Whether new to the topic or in need of a refresh, both students and senior scholars will find much of value here."Lesley Head, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor, University of Melbourne, Australia"There is no one better qualified than Mike Hulme to explain the past, present and future of climate change in just ten chapters. In clear and engaging prose, Hulme leads us through the many facets of climate change: as a scientific concept, a locus of political debate, and a catalyst for imagined futures."Rebecca Lave, Professor and Chair, Department of Geography, Indiana University, USA"Mike Hulme’s ground breaking writings have been the must-read texts on the social meaning of climate from theories of human difference, markers of place (those salubrious climates!) to science and technology studies. His work illuminates the conflicts, meanings, impacts and politics of climate change. By placing the understanding of climate as a socio-cultural as well as a scientific project, Dr. Hulme’s work, always warm, generous and clearly written, has defined what it means to be an interdisciplinary, engaged scholar on a hyper-controversial topic. This magisterial book integrates climate questions through multiple discourses and controversies. Since it is hard to imagine a future without imagining climate change, this volume recasts and clarifies the nature of the debates. I think it is an essential volume for understanding atmospheric disorder, in all the meanings of the term." Susanna B Hecht, Professor, Luskin School of Public Affairs, and Institute of the Environment, University of California, Los Angeles, USA and Professor, International History, Graduate Institute for Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland"This powerful and important book cogently demonstrates the need to take our ideas about climate change very seriously. Hulme shows the importance of recognizing climate change as a cultural predicament to be addressed through the explicitly performative mobilisation of different and competing values, ideologies, and narratives rather than a problem to be solved through more and better science and technology alone. An essential read."John Robinson, Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto, Canada"This is a unique book with a truly interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the key ideas of climate change, and an all-in-one but concise reading of various ideas about climate change from social sciences, humanities and natural sciences. It is suitable for students and general readers trying to understand the profound climate changes. An innovative contribution of a human geographer to climate change studies!"Weidong Liu, Professor in Economic Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, People's Republic of China"What does climate change really mean for diverse communities? In this marvellous book, Mike Hulme explores the multitude of our human experiences of a changing climate. As a leading climate scientist, Hulme takes the reader beyond the science in a confronting, and profoundly enriching way. Building on a lifetime of climate research and the insights of marginalised voices, including indigenous, feminist, artistic, and religious insights, Hulme help us understand what it really means to be alive in a changing climate … to resist, struggle and imagine new futures, expanding our imagination in politically powerful ways."Bronwyn Hayward, Professor of Political Science, University of Canterbury, New Zealand"This book offers the most complete collection of key debates and examples from around the world that epitomizes the multifaceted nature of climate change. Reading it was for me an intellectually stimulating learning curve as Mike Hulme inspiringly reflects upon our personal and social bonds with the matter and idea of climate. Beautifully written, thought-provoking and easily accessible, Climate Change is the ultimate companion, and indeed a profoundly rewarding journey, for scholars of all disciplines."Chaya Vaddhanaphuti, Lecturer, Department of Geography, Chiang Mai University, ThailandTable of ContentsSection 1: Climate Histories, Geographies, and Knowledges 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Political Financing in Developing Countries
Book SynopsisThis book argues that to fully grasp the decision-making of politicians and political actors in developing countries, we must first understand how politicians finance their campaigns for officeand to whom they are indebted and expected to repay.Political Financing in Developing Countries focuses on Ghana in depth, a country often held up as an example of a successful, two-party democracy with regular party changes in government. However, it is unlikely that candidates and political parties are wealthy enough to finance the increasing costs of campaigns and constituent demands, and successful democratic outcomes could be masking a system that actually hinders development progress. Drawing on nearly 200 interviews and extensive fieldwork, this book posits that political funds are extracted by an iron square of politicians, bureaucrats, construction contractors, and political-party chairs which rigs the procurement of local-development projects to generate kickbacks. The Trade Review"Joseph Luna’s book is an invaluable aid to policy professionals, academics and development planning practitioners to understand the problem of public policy and corruption. It is evidence-based and combines empirical knowledge with in-depth theoretical and historical knowledge. It is a required reading for academics, policy makers as well as students." — Kwame A. Ninsin, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Ghana"This is an exceptional contribution to the study of political financing. Luna unpicks the dynamic interactions among key players with impressive analytical precision, deftly applying game theory and collective action models to examine his cases. He tells a story that will resonate with scholars of political corruption and clientelism everywhere, yet also illuminates several features of low-resource contexts which amplify the usual pressures on political actors. The book is also a gripping read, fluently written and rich with the personalities and narratives of the protagonists." — Elizabeth Dávid-Barrett, Senior Lecturer in Politics and Director of the Centre for the Study of Corruption, University of Sussex, UK"This is a very timely book and the author has done a tremendous job of synthesizing a large amount of both theoretical and empirical evidence. I very much enjoyed reading this book. It shows the innovative ways party politicians circumvent the procurement rules to promote party politics at the grassroots. What interests me most is the author’s analysis of the ‘Iron Square’ of political finance in Ghana. The ‘Iron Square’ represented by bureaucrats, party chairs, contractors and MMDCEs (politicians) is significant and may be applicable to other African democracies. Certainly, this book a relevant addition to the growing body of knowledge on political financing in Africa’s electoral democracies. It is a must read for any student of party politics in Africa and beyond." – George M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Indigenous Intergenerational Resilience
Book SynopsisThis book argues that there is a need to develop greater indigenous-led intergenerational resilience in order to meet the challenges posed by contemporary crises of climate change, cultural clashes, and adversity.In today's media, the climate crisis is kept largely separate and distinct from the violent cultural clashes unfolding on the grounds of religion and migration, but each is similarly symptomatic of the erasure of the human connection to place and the accompanying tensions between generations and cultures. This book argues that both forms of crisis are intimately related, under-scored and driven by the structures of white supremacism which at their most immediate and visible, manifest as the discipline of black bodies, and at more fundamental and far-reaching proportions, are about the power, privilege and patterns of thinking associated with but no longer exclusive to white people. In the face of such crisis, it is essential to bring the experience and wisdom Table of ContentsChapter 1: Indigenous-led intergenerational resilience: The work of the "now" Chapter 2: The cultural and generational dimensions of climate and ecological crisis Chapter 3: Paradigms of resurgence and intergenerational resilience Chapter 4: Rongoā Māori as a generative response to the crises of our times Chapter 5: Ko ngā Pūrāko ō Tūrangawaewae—Stories of finding the places where we can be powerful Chapter 6: A global decolonial praxis of sustainability—Undoing epistemic violences through critical pedagogies of place Chapter 7: The dish with one spoon: Rehonoring an ancient treaty Chapter 8: The whakapapa (genealogy) of all things

Taylor & Francis Development Economics
Book Synopsis This second edition of Development Economics: Theory and Practice continues to provide students and practitioners with the perspectives and tools they need to think analytically and critically about the current major economic development issues in the world. Alain de Janvry and Elisabeth Sadoulet identify seven key dimensions of developmentgrowth, poverty, vulnerability, inequality, basic needs, sustainability, and quality of lifeand use them to structure the contents of the text. The book gives a historical perspective on the evolution of thought in development. It uses theory and empirical analysis to present readers with a full picture of how development works, how its successes and failures can be assessed, and how alternatives can be introduced. The authors demonstrate how diagnostics, design of programs and policies, and impact evaluation can be used to seek new solutions to the suffering and violence caused by development failures. In the second edTrade ReviewPraise for the first edition: "This is a great book that fills many gaps in the existing textbook options, including rich material coming out of the RCT revolution, while sustaining depth on the classic questions in development." — Samuel Bazzi, Professor of Economics at Boston University, USA."Overall, I strongly recommend using this textbook for economic development. It is rich with material, examples, and case studies. It includes extensive discussions on data and studies using the randomized control trial approach, which is widely used in development research nowadays." — Rotua Lumbantobing, Assistant Professor of Economics at Western Connecticut State University, USA Table of Contents1.
