Capitalism and the Commons focuses on the political and social
perspectives that commons offer, how they are appropriated or
suppressed by capital and state, and how social initiatives and
movements contest these dynamics or build their struggles on
commoning. The volume comprises theoretical and empirical
approaches that engage with three main themes: conceptualizing the
commons, analyzing practices of commoning, and exploring commons
politics. In their contributions, the authors focus on the
development of anti-capitalist commons and explore the issue of
practice and politics through case studies from Colombia, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, and Africa more
broadly, Austria, Germany and South Korea, ranging from peri-urban
and rural agriculture to urban commons and how they manifest in the
Global South as well as in the Global North. The book engages with
different discourses on the commons in regard to their relevance
for social change and thereby reinvigorates the political meaning
of the commons. It provides an original and important approach to
the topic in terms of conceptualization, detailing diverse
empirical realities, and analyzing potential perspectives. In so
doing, the book transcends narrow disciplinary boundaries and
expands the focus to the global. Providing a fresh perspective on
the commons as a decisive component of alternatives, this title
will be relevant to scholars and students of resource management,
social movements, and sustainable development more broadly.
This book brings together geological, biological, radical economic,
technological, historical and social perspectives on peak oil and
other scarce resources. The contributors to this volume argue that
these scarcities will put an end to the capitalist system as we
know it and alternatives must be created. The book combines natural
science with emancipatory thinking, focusing on bottom up
alternatives and social struggles to change the world by taking
action. The volume introduces original contributions to the debates
on peak oil, land grabbing and social alternatives, thus creating a
synthesis to gain an overview of the multiple crises of our times.
The book sets out to analyse how crises of energy, climate, metals,
minerals and the soil relate to the global land grab which has
accelerated greatly since 2008, as well as to examine the crisis of
profit production and political legitimacy. Based on a theoretical
understanding of the multiple crises and the effects of peak oil
and other scarcities on capital accumulation, the contributors
explore the social innovations that provide an alternative. Using
the most up to date research on resource crises, this integrative
and critical analysis brings together the issues with a radical
perspective on possibilites for future change as well as a strong
social economic and ethical dimesion. The book should be of
interest to researchers and students of environmental policy,
politics, sustainable development and natural resource management.

Das Buch weitet den Blick uber die kurzfristige Verfugbarkeit von
kritischen Metallen auf die grundlegende Frage: Kritisch fur wen?
Die Autoren nehmen alle Akteure in den Blick und behandeln
geologische, chemische, technische, oekonomische und soziale
Aspekte wie auch Fragen des Recyclings und verbinden diese. Auch
auf Fragen nach dem guten Leben und des Bergbaus aus der Sicht von
Landern des Sudens, Fragen der Ressourcenpolitik und -gerechtigkeit
gehen sie ein. Ein weiteres Thema sind das UN-Tiefseebergbauregime
und dessen Perspektiven, wie sich zukunftig unkonventionell Erz aus
der Tiefsee gewinnen lasst. Kritische Metalle werden in den
ubergreifenden Zusammenhang der anstehenden Grossen Transformation
eingeordnet. Das Buch beleuchtet insbesondere die grundlegende
Bedeutung der stofflichen Voraussetzungen der Energiewende und die
energetischen Voraussetzungen der Stoffwende wie auch der
Digitalisierung. Damit lasst sich zeigen, dass nicht nur seltene
Erden kritisch sind, sondern ebenso Industriemetalle wie etwa
Kupfer. Ressourcenpolitik zielt unter anderem auf Sicherung der
Primarversorgung mit Technologiemetallen, auf Ressourceneffizienz,
Recycling und Substitution kritischer Stoffe. Trotz erster Erfolge
ist die Dynamik in Richtung einer zunehmenden Dissipation
wertvoller kritischer Metalle ungebrochen. Noetig ist eine rasche
Umsteuerung mit dem Ziel, kritische Metalle nicht langer im grossen
Stil zu verbrauchen, sondern sie klug zu gebrauchen.
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1997 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und
Organisation, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universitat Hannover
(Unbekannt), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe:
Zusammenfassung: Derzeit sind weit uber 50.000 von ihren
Unternehmungen entsandte Deutsche fur einen befristeten Zeitraum im
Ausland tatig. Die uberwiegende Mehrheit von ihnen wird nach Ablauf
der Entsendungsdauer wieder in ein Land zuruckkehren, welches sich
wahrend ihrer Abwesenheit - ebenso wie sie selber - verandert hat.
Angesichts dessen scheint es sinnvoll zu sein, die Entsandten auf
die neue Situation nach der Ruckkehr vorzubereiten. Harveys
Erkenntnissen zufolge, ist dies aber offensichtlich nicht der Fall.
Konnte es fur die Unternehmung unter Umstanden vorteilhaft sein,
keine Massnahmen zur Wiedereingliederung durchzufuhren? Diese Frage
ist der Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit, deren primares Ziel
es ist zu untersuchen, unter welchen Bedingungen Investitionen in
Wiedereingliederungsmassnahmen effizient sein konnen. Der Begriff
der "Effizienz" wird in dieser Arbeit dabei im Sinne von
"okonomischer Vorteilhaftigkeit" interpretiert, wahrend unter den
"Bedingungen" der Effizienz die "Voraussetzungen" fur die
okonomische Vorteilhaftigkeit von Investitionen in Massnahmen zur
Wiedereingliederung verstanden werden. Wenn Harvey beinahe
resignierend feststellt, dass "due to the lack of attention of
researchers and personnel administrators the field of repatriation
research appears to be a forgotten topic among academic researchers
and corporate executives," so gilt dies um so mehr vor dem
Hintergrund einer okonomischen Betrachtung des Problems der
Wiedereingliederung. So konstatiert Eigler eine "mangelnde
Okonomieorientierung in der Personalwirtschaft" und Backes-Gellner
spricht davon, dass "Personalwirtschaftslehre (...) nicht als
okonomische Disziplin betrieben wird]." In letzter Zeit sind daher
vermehrt Forderungen nach einer starkeren okonomischen Ausrichtung
der Personalwirtscha
