Richly detailed and timely study on conservation, development and
sustainability in Tanzania. Provides valuable insights into the
successes and failures of the management and governance of
wildlife, forestry and coastal resources. Responding to the urgent
need to examine the outcome of interventions in governing natural
resources, this book analyses different types of sustainability
partnerships - with donors, governments, business, NGOs and other
actors, and, crucially, assesses which result in better livelihood
and environmental outcomes. The contributors, from a range of
disciplines, compare 'more complex' partnerships to relatively
'simpler', more traditional top-down and centralized management
systems and to location where sustainability partnerships are not
in place. Within-sector comparisons allow a fine-tuned analysis
that is formed of historical, location and resource-specific
issues, which can be used as input for resource-specific policy and
partnership design. Experiences and lessons can be drawn from
comparisons across the three different sectors, which can be
applied to natural resource governance more broadly.
In a world in which political opportunity and liberation seem far
away, the genre of science fiction grows in cultural importance and
popularity. The contributors to this collection are political and
social theorists from a range of disciplines who use science
fiction as inspiration for new theories and examples of speculative
politics. In dystopian governments, they find locations and forms
of resistance. Representations of Political Resistance and
Emancipation in Science Fiction explores a range of political and
social theoretical concerns for the twenty-first century.
Contributors analyze themes of post-humanism, resistance, agency,
political community making, and ethics and politics during the
Anthropocene.
This book is an edited volume that focuses on international norms
and normative change in some of the key areas of sustainable human
development. This is an important and timely topic since the
international community adopted a set of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) in September of 2015. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development will guide international development efforts over the
next fifteen years. For this reason, developing a deeper
understanding of the SDGs, the international norms that underpin
them, and any normative change they represent is vital for
students, scholars, and development practitioners and
professionals. This volume is designed to provide an account of
some of the normative debates and normative change that the process
of developing a set of SDGs has entailed. Its goal is to assess the
origins, nature, extent, and implications of normative change in
the context of the post-2015 development agenda. It also evaluates
the extent to which the SDGs represent a significant change from
established development norms and practices.
