This Handbook brings together state-of-the-art contributions and
international insights outlining the key theoretical developments
and empirical findings related to sustainable development and
governance. Providing both an overview and deep dive into the
topic, it demonstrates how the concept of sustainable development
and governance has led to multiple responses in both the academic
and policy world from a theoretical, conceptual and operational
viewpoint. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives, leading
contributors examine global research on the governance of
sustainable development, spanning disciplines including politics,
public policy, international relations, environmental science and
human geography. Providing an in-depth examination of current
ongoing challenges such as climate change, trade and poverty, the
Handbook investigates both collaborative approaches for sustainable
development governance and policy innovation and integration.
Furthermore, chapters utilise global case studies in action,
exploring governance by international and non-government
organisations and illustrating their key findings. Providing an
interdisciplinary perspective, this Handbook will be a critical
resource for research students of sustainable development and
environmental governance as well as established researchers in the
field. Scholars of politics and public policy will find the case
studies informative and illuminating.
Most complete guide of instructions for manipulation of
points/zones you will ever find in 6 laminated pages. Organized by
anatomical system and then by organ being affected, and what
ailment the manipulation would address. This guide is a companion
to our anatomical mapping of zones available as a guide as well as
a poster. Suggested uses: o Reflexologists a use as a go-to
reference for practice or when discussing techniques and the
process with clients o Instructors & Students a quick access to
all you or your students need to know
The interconnectedness of global society is increasingly visible
through crises such as the current global health pandemic, emerging
climate change impacts and increasing erosion of biodiversity. This
timely Handbook navigates the challenges of adaptive governance in
these complex contexts, stressing the necessarily compounded nature
of bio-physical and social systems to ensure more desirable
governance outcomes. Highlighting the dynamics and diversity of
governance systems across the globe, leading experts in the field
examine the successes and failures of these systems. Synthesising
theory with methodology and practical case studies, chapters
explore adaptive governance in forest management, marine
environments and open data ecosystems, looking closely at the role
of adaptive governance in climate mitigation and disaster risk
reduction. Answering the call for large-scale transformations that
move societies away from unsustainable development trajectories,
this prescriptive Handbook explores the existing adaptive
governance measures that have driven reflexive, sustainable change.
Reflecting on the past decade of research in the field, it
concludes by outlining new areas of contention and inquiry for the
next decade of adaptive governance research. Interdisciplinary in
scope, this comprehensive Handbook will prove an invigorating read
for students and scholars of environmental law, governance and
regulation, and political science and public policy. Policymakers
looking to innovate their adaptive governance approaches will also
find this a beneficial companion.
With contributions from top scholars in the field, this
cutting-edge Handbook critically examines the effects of
glocalisation on various subdisciplines of the humanities and
social sciences. Broad and innovative, it provides a fresh take on
the different forms of the glocal in contemporary culture. Using
engaging case studies, humanities scholars examine how
glocalisation has impacted archaeology, art, literature,
philosophy, law and food; social science experts discuss the impact
on tourism, religion, urban studies, criminology, education and
sports. Forward-thinking, the volume engages with new developments
in media and communication, considering how technological
innovation, digitisation and the mediatised world affect
interrelations in consumer culture. It concludes with an
examination of new research frontiers, considering translocality,
world science theory, and post-colonialism to expand the field by
developing original approaches and suggesting new directions for
research. Featuring practical insights from a wide range of
disciplines, this Handbook is invaluable for students and scholars
across the humanities and social sciences. It will also benefit
policy makers within cultural domains concerned with glocalisation.
