This volume contains contributions written by participants of the 4th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Applications, held at the TU Berlin, Germany, December 17 to 19, 2004. The workshop covered topics from spectral, perturbation, and extension theory of linear operators and relations in inner product spaces.

rd This volume contains papers written by the participants of the 3 Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein spaces and Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems, held at the Technische Universit. at Berlin, Germany, December 12 to 14, 2003. The workshop covered topics from spectral, perturbation and extension t- ory of linear operators in Krein spaces. They included generalized Nevanlinna functions and related classes of functions, boundary value problems for di?erential operators, spectral problems for matrix polynomials, and perturbation problems forsecondorderevolutionequations.Alltheseproblemsarere?ectedinthepresent volume. The workshop was attended by 46 participants from 12 countries. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the substantial ?nancial support received from the - Research Training Network HPRN-CT-2000-00116 "Analysis and Operators" by the European Community, - DFG-Forschungszentrum MATHEON "Mathematik fur .. Schlussel- .. technologien", - Institute of Mathematics of the Technische Universit. at Berlin. We would also like to thank Petra Grimberger for her great help. Last but not least, special thanks are due to Jussi Behrndt, Christian Mehl and Carsten Trunk for their excellent workin the organisationof the workshopand the preparationof this volume. Without their assistance the workshop might not have taken place.

Indonesia's commitment to reducing land-based greenhouse gas emissions significantly includes the expansion of conservation areas, but these developments are not free of conflicts. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of agrarian conflicts in the context of the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and forest carbon offsetting in Indonesia, a country where deforestation is a major issue. The author analyzes new kinds of transnational agrarian conflicts which have strong implications for global environmental justice in the REDD+ pilot province of Jambi on the island of Sumatra. The chapters cover: the rescaling of the governance of forests; privatization of conservation; and the transnational dimensions of agrarian conflicts and peasants' resistance in the context of REDD+. The book builds on an innovative conceptual approach linking political ecology, politics of scale and theories of power. It fills an important knowledge and research gap by focusing on the socially differentiated impacts of REDD+ and new forest carbon offsetting initiatives in Southeast Asia, providing a multi-scalar perspective. It is aimed at scholars in the areas of political ecology, human geography, climate change mitigation, forest and natural resource management, as well as environmental justice and agrarian studies.
