This volume brings together a group of authors who share a common concern with the effects of globalization on the South. Included among these effects is the accelerating erosion of the social, economic and political significance of the territorial distinction on which the terms South and North are founded. The authors' aim is explicit: to offer a unique perspective on globalization which places the transformation of the South and the renewed global organization of inequality at the heart of our understanding of the global order.

The purpose of this project was to pilot test a peer-reviewed, long-term pika monitoring protocol for the American pika (Ochotona princeps) in Glacier National Park. The pika is a climate-sensitive species and this effort provided new information on the distribution, survey methodologies, and habitat associations of the species in the park. In particular, this project established long-term monitoring sites to estimate the proportion of sample sites occupied by pikas and assessed detectability of pika using both direct and indirect evidence of pika presence (via visuals, aurals, scat, and haypiles) for observers with various levels of experience and training. The authors with the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center Citizen Science Program to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of citizen scientists in protocol implementation.

Images of famine, debt, economic stagnation and decay in the South, coupled with an uneasy acknowledgement of the interdependence of military and economic security, demand an urgent re-evaluation of the security relations between the South and North. In this 1989 volume, thirteen distinguished contributors address the central problem of competing conceptions of security. Security debates invariably give priority and prominence to the position of the West within an East/West equation. This work redresses this imbalance by highlighting the concerns and priorities of the developing states in the South/North dimensions at this time. Each of the six thematic parts comprises two contrasting treatments; one from the Third World perspective and the other from the viewpoint of the industrialised North. This book will be of use to students and policy makers as well as specialists of specific issues such as debt and political violence.

The interdisciplinary collection of essays investigates whether UNCED and its output were appropriate for averting global environmental and developmental catastrophe. The intellectual debate inside and outside UNCED has been dominated by powerful entrenched interests which marginalise rival interpretations of the crisis and block possible alternative ways forward. The crisis is therefore being tackled by a continuation of the very policies that largely caused it in the first place.
