As the importance of corporate social responsibility grows,
especially environmental responsibility, it is imperative to
acknowledge the impact of the individual on a company's
environmental performance. Given that individuals spend much of
their day in the workplace, it is crucial to understand both their
behaviours and the potential impact they can have on the company's
environmental performance and the environment. Bringing together
leading academics from various research fields, this Handbook
examines the features and challenges within the area of employee
pro-environmental behaviour. The Research Handbook on Employee
Pro-Environmental Behaviour brings contributions that consolidate
existing research in the field as well as adding new insights from
organisational psychology, human resource management and social
marketing. Drawing on studies from across the methodological
spectrum, this Handbook covers a broad range of topics from the
antecedents and consequences of employee pro-environmental
behaviour to ways in which employers can encourage
pro-environmental behaviour. This Handbook will be an invaluable
tool for those engaged in research in employee environmental
behaviour and sustainability. It will be especially useful for
postgraduate students of environmental employee behaviour as well
as environmental consultants and practitioners seeking to gain an
understanding of employee behaviour. Contributors include: B.

Borrowing is a crucial source of financing for governments all over
the world. If they get it wrong, then debt crises can bring
progress to a halt. But if it's done right, investment happens and
conditions improve. African countries are seeking calmer capital,
to raise living standards and give their economies a competitive
edge. The African debt landscape has changed radically in the first
two decades of the twenty-first century. Since the clean slate of
extensive debt relief, states have sought new borrowing
opportunities from international capital markets and emerging
global powers like China. The new debt composition has increased
risk, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic: richer countries
borrowed at rock-bottom interest rates, while Africa faced an
expensive jump in indebtedness. The escalating debt burden has
provoked calls by the G20 for suspension of debt payments. But
Africa's debt today is highly complex, and owed to a wider range of
lenders. A new approach is needed, and could turn crisis into
opportunity. Urgent action by both lenders and borrowers can reduce
risk, while carefully preserving market access; and smart
deployment of private finance can provide the scale of investment
needed to achieve development goals and tackle the climate
emergency.
This book foregrounds the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini to study the
Roman periphery and examine the relevance of Pasolini’s vision in
the construction of subaltern identity and experience. It analyses
the contemporary Italian society to understand the problem of
social exclusion of marginal communities. Narrative studies are at
the core of the contemporary social science research. This book
uses narrative analysis to unpack the deeper meaning of Rome’s
stigmatized periphery through an interplay of Italian cinema,
literature, and social and political climates. It encourages a
positive interpretation of the Roman periphery through its
characterization as a homogeneous area of marginality as emphasized
in Pasolini’s writings and films on Rome. This re-evaluation left
a lasting impact on the modern periphery and the narratives of
ordinary citizens as evident in contemporary street art and popular
musical production. Pasolini’s revolutionary vision allows us to
appreciate the human and aesthetic character of urban life in
regions beyond the main urban areas. The respect for subaltern
urban communities encouraged by this book can be extended from Rome
to other parts of the world. This book presents an interconnection
of social theory, geography, poetry, literature, film and the
visual arts to study the experience of life in underprivileged
urban areas. Written in an accessible style, the book offers a
reimagining of the Roman periphery which will appeal to readers in
France, Spain, Italy, Australia, areas which have significant
interest in Italian studies and the works of Pasolini.
The book examines contemporary food systems in Italy, paying
particular attention to the landscape, innovative local practices
and local cultural history. It illustrates the utility of the value
chain concept in navigating the complexities of comparative
advantage in an advanced market setting. It establishes the
connection between the landscape and individual food practices, and
how they have responded to the commodification of the agri-food
system, maintaining a distinctive local character while ensuring
development and a healthy diet. It explores how community gardens
are now a consolidated part of Italian urban experience, as well as
the multiple policy frameworks which govern these activities. The
book then explores a wider range of food procurement channels, from
food cooperatives to buying groups and institutional partnerships,
including the strategies employed by large retail groups to respond
to the growing environmental sensitivity of their customers.
Multifunctional implications of antimafia activities involving
social agriculture are also explored. Finally the book ends with a
survey of European and domestic Italian policies aiming to protect
and promote healthy food practices while preserving the integrity
of the landscape. This is fascinating reading for anyone interested
in quality food and the territory, as well as academic readers from
such disparate disciplines as sociology, urban studies,
anthropology, and Italian studies.

This volume provides readers interested in urban history with a
collection of essays on the evolution of public space in that
paradigmatic western city which is Rome. Scholars specialized in
different historical periods contributed chapters, in order to find
common themes which weave their way through one of the most complex
urban histories of western civilization. Divided into five
chronological sections (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance,
Baroque, Modern and Contemporary) the volume opens with the issue
of how public space was defined in classical Roman law and how
ancient city managers organized the maintenance of these spaces,
before moving on to explore how this legacy was redefined and
reinterpreted during the Middle Ages. The third group of essays
examines how the imposition of papal order on feuding families
during the Renaissance helped introduce a new urban plan which
could satisfy both functional and symbolic needs. The fourth
section shows how modern Rome continued to express strong interest
in the control and management of public space, the definition of
which was necessarily selective in this vastly extensive city. The
collection ends with an essay on the contemporary debate for
revitalizing Rome's eastern periphery. Through this long-term
chronological approach the volume offers a truly unique insight
into the urban development of one of Europe's most important
cities, and concludes with a discuss of the challenges public space
faces today after having served for so many centuries as a driving
force in urban history.
