Environmentalism and peace walks through the minefields of Southeast Asia, the future of the ''untouchables'' of Japan, and outreach to minorities and inmates of the criminal justice system in the West are some of the challenging topics considered.Trade Review'The editors do a nice job of balancing material among these various sections, all of which include interesting, informative articles.' - Journal of Asian Studies'Yarnell's essay is consistently intelligent and should probably be read and pondered by all scholars working on engaged Buddhism as a discrete new phenomenon.' - Journal of Asian Studies Table of ContentsPart 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Leadership and Local Power in European Rural
Book SynopsisContemporary processes of economic, social, political and cultural restructuring are having profound impacts on the form and function of rural areas within the countries of the European Union and beyond. Furthermore, rural development policies and programmes at EU and national levels have been critical in shaping the responses of different rural areas across Europe to these wider processes of restructuring. Contrasting empirical studies of ten European countries, this volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the restructuring processes and the various national, regional and local rural development programmes. Adopting a different national perspective in each chapter, it focuses particularly on issues of power and leadership in the evolution and administration of these programmes. Five broad issues are examined in each case: socio-economic changes in rural areas, the administrative context in which rural development and political activities take place, the sociological context, Trade Review'This comparative perspective is indeed an ambitious and welcome addition to our understanding of the commonalties experienced, but also of the diversity that is evident, across rural Europe.' Urban Studies 'The book attempts to aid our understanding of the wider economics and social restructuring taking place in rural Europe.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Africa Beyond the PostColonial Political and
Book SynopsisThe poor economic performance of some African countries since independence has been a major concern to both African leaders and policy makers. This volume, which draws together contributions from academics based in Africa and its diaspora, situates the continent within its historic and socio-political background: from the 1960s, the decade of independence, through to its development outlook as the new millennium unfolds. It examines a broad range of contemporary issues -- from development and culture to linguistics and is unique in identifying and examining issues that are common both to Africa and the diaspora.Trade Review’This challenging book calls for a fresh perspective on Africa in its interrelations with the African diaspora, combining development studies and political economy with post-colonial theory. It invites us to reconsider the nature of African modernity and the African future. Varied and wide-ranging, the contributions to the book will stimulate debate both in the classroom and outside it.’ Professor Karin Barber, Centre of West African Studies, University of Birmingham, UK ’An extremely stimulating and readable book, sprinkled with claims and explanations old, new, and controversial. A graceful and refreshing contribution to the exploration of African forms of confronting and inhabiting the world at large.’ Achille Mbembe, author of On the PostcolonyTable of ContentsContents: African diaspora - African development concerns: an introduction, Alfred B. Zack-Williams with Ola Uduku; Africa and the project of modernity, Alfred B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ontology and Modelling of Real Estate
Book SynopsisDue to differences in the legal systems and business environments, it is difficult to compare the process of buying and selling land in different European countries. Illustrated by a range of European case studies, this book identifies and discusses the problems of this and similar comparisons. It then examines how ontological modelling can be applied to real estate transactions and advocates this as a basis for comparing the various processes used across Europe. The book consists of four parts: the economic, legal and ontological aspects of real property transactions; a discussion of the current situation in different countries, thus showing the heterogeneity and complexity of processes that have to be captured; whilst the third and fourth parts describe ontological modelling and its benefits for the purpose of understanding the nature of real property transactions together with examples of modelling techniques applied to cadastre and real property.Trade Review'This book presents the fruits of an ongoing research project that contributes towards a better understanding of property rights systems, an essential ingredient of economic development. To compare real estate transactions across different legal systems, the book presents an innovative method that aims to enhance comparability by examining the common 'ontology' of such transactions, and shows its potential by applying it to a diverse set of European cases.' Dr. Benito Arruñada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, BarcelonaTable of ContentsContents: Cadastre, Law and Economics: Modelling real property transactions, Erik Stubkjœr; Aspects of real property rights and their alteration, Hans Mattsson; Real estate: foundations of the ontology of property, Leo Zaibert and Barry Smith.
