Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance - Multidisciplinary Perspectives (Paperback): Hoi L. Kong, Tanya... Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance - Multidisciplinary Perspectives (Paperback)
Hoi L. Kong, Tanya Monforte
R617 R557 Discovery Miles 5 570 Save R60 (10%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The inaction of nation states and international bodies has posed significant risks to the environment. By contrast, cities are sites of action and innovation. In Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance, contributors researching in the areas of law, urban planning, geography, and philosophy identify approaches for tackling many of the most challenging environmental problems facing cities today. Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance facilitates two strands of dialogue about climate change. First, it integrates legal perspectives into policy debates about urban sustainability and governance, from which law has typically stood apart. Second, it brings case studies from Quebec into a rare conversation with examples drawn from elsewhere in Canada. The collection proposes humane and inclusive processes for arriving at effective policy outcomes. Some chapters examine governance mechanisms that reconcile clashes of incommensurable values and resolve conflicts about collective interests. Other chapters provide platforms for social movements that have faced obstacles to communicating to a broad public. The collection's proposals respond to drastic changes in urban environments. Some changes are imminent. Others are upon us already. All threaten the present and future well-being of urban communities.

NAFTA and Sustainable Development - History, Experience, and Prospects for Reform (Paperback): Hoi L. Kong, L.Kinvin Wroth NAFTA and Sustainable Development - History, Experience, and Prospects for Reform (Paperback)
Hoi L. Kong, L.Kinvin Wroth
R1,125 Discovery Miles 11 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its companion agreement, the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC), provide important and often underappreciated protection for the environmental laws of the Party states: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. On the twentieth anniversary of NAFTA's ratification, this book assesses the current state of environmental protection under those agreements. Bringing together scholars, practitioners, and regulators from all three Party states, it outlines the scope and process of NAFTA and NAAEC, their impact on specific environmental issues, and paths to reform. It includes analyses of the impact of the agreements on such matters as bioengineered crops in Mexico, assessment of marine environmental effects, potential lessons for China, climate change, and indigenous rights. Together, the chapters of this book represent an important contribution to the global conversation concerning international trade agreements and sustainable development.

Deliberative Peace Referendums (Hardcover): Ron Levy, Ian O'flynn, Hoi L. Kong Deliberative Peace Referendums (Hardcover)

Peace referendums', which seek to manage conflict between warring groups, are increasingly common. Yet they remain erratic forces-liable as often to aggravate as to resolve tensions. This book argues that, despite their risks, referendums can play useful roles amid armed conflict. Drawing on a distinctive combination of the fields of deliberative democracy, constitutional theory and conflict studies, and relying on comparative examples (eg, from Algeria, Colombia, New Caledonia, Northern Ireland, Papua New Guinea, and South Africa), the book shows how peace referendums can fulfil their promise as genuine tools of conflict management.
