    Land Rights, Biodiversity Conservation and Justice explores the tension that often arises between the differing aims and objectives of land justice advocates and conservation and biodiversity advocates.

The original research gathered together in this volume will be of considerable interest to researchers of development studies, political ecology, land rights, and conservation.

  • - Fostering resilient communities after the triple disaster
     
    1.649,95 kr.

    Educating for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches are holistic and interdisciplinary, values-driven, participatory, multi-method, locally relevant and emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving. This book explains how ESD approaches work in the Japanese context; their effects on different stakeholders; and their ultimate potential contribution to society in Japan. It considers ESD in both formal and informal education sectors, recognizing that even when classroom learning takes place it must be place-based and predicated on a specific community context. The book explores not only `Why ESD¿, but why and how ESD in Japan has gained importance in the past decade and more recently in the wake of the triple disaster of March 2011. It considers how ESD can help Japan recover and adapt to disasters and take initiative in building more resilient and sustainable communities.This volume asks the questions: What are some examples of positive contributions by ESD to sustainability in Japan? What is the role of ESD in Japan in activating people to demand and work towards change? How can schools, universities and non-governmental organizations link with communities to strengthen civic awareness and community action? After an introduction that elucidates the roots and recent promotion of ESD in Japan, part one of this volume looks at the formal education sector in Japan, while part two examines community-based education and sustainability initiatives. The latter revisits the Tohoku region five years on from the events of March 2011, to explore recovery and revitalization efforts by schools, NGOs and residents.This is an invaluable book for postgraduate students, researchers, teachers and policy makers working on ESD.

    The book presents a social sciences¿ perspective on sustainable development contributing thus to transdisciplinary sustainability research, which means that it is oriented toward current problems, and not toward the established academic boundaries. The key aspect here is not the natural-scientific, but rather the humanistic aspect. This book advocates viewing sustainable development, not only as the establishment of a permanent, globally practicable and future-capable mode of life and economics, but rather as a complex array of problems, involving a wide range of social-scientific and humanistic disciplines ¿ law, political science, sociology, economics, theology, psychology, philosophy.

  • - Elite dynamics, the left tide and sustainable development
     
    1.876,95 kr.

    Based on case-studies in eight Latin American countries, this book investigates the extent to which there have been elite shifts, how new governments have related to old elites, and how that has impacted on environmental governance and the management of natural resources. New groups are emerging related to political and economic shifts, and the rise of new cadres of technocrats, while old economic and political elites struggle to remain influential. However, the combination of opposition from old elites, the commitment to social distribution of resource-rents, and the prerogative of state construction has often hampered initiatives to ensure a more sustainable and equitable governance of natural resources. Yet, in other cases constraints related to structural inequalities and entrenched elites have been overcome.
