Book Synopsis Land Grabbing and Migration in a Changing Climate by : Sara Vigil
Download or read book Land Grabbing and Migration in a Changing Climate written by Sara Vigil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a theoretical and empirical examination of the links between environmental change, land grabbing, and migration, drawing on research conducted in Senegal and Cambodia. While the impacts of environmental change on migration and of environmental discourses on land grabs have received increased attention, the role of both environmental and migration narratives in shaping migration by modifying access to natural resources has remained under-explored. Using a variegated geopolitical ecology framework and a comparative global ethnographic approach, this book analyses the power of mainstream adaptation and security frameworks and how they impact the lives of marginalised and vulnerable communities in Senegal and Cambodia. Findings across the cases show how environmental and migration narratives, linked to adaptation and security discourses, have been deployed advertently or inadvertently to justify land capture, leading to interventions that often increase, rather than alleviate, the very pressures that they intend to address. The interrelations between these issues are inherent to the tensions that exist, in different contexts and at different times, between capital accumulation and political legitimation. The findings of the book point to the urgency for researchers and policymakers to address the structural causes, and not the symptoms, of both environmental destruction and forced migration. It shows how acting upon environmental change, land grabs, and migration in isolated or binary manners can increase, rather than alleviate, pressures on those most socio-environmentally vulnerable. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners working on the topics of land and resource grabbing and environmental change and migration. The book will also be of interest to those analysing political ecology transitions in Africa and Asia, as well as to those interested in novel theoretical and methodological frameworks.

Book Synopsis Redefining National Security by : Lester Russell Brown
Download or read book Redefining National Security written by Lester Russell Brown and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The military's role in securing a nation's well-being and survival is relatively less important that it once was. Threats to security may now arise more from the relationship of man to nature than nation to nation. National economies must be sustained to maintain national security. Advanced indstrial economies are fueled by oil, a resource that is being exhausted. The production of the principle biological systems is threatened by excessive human claims. Global economy depends on the biological systems. Global food insecurity and associated food price instability becomes a source of political instability. Protecting and securing the future of a nation by strengthening international cooperation, developing alternative energy sources, and producing adequate food supplies are escalating in importance. Lagging energy transition, deterioration of biological systems, clmate modification, global food insecurity, and economic threats to security are addressed.
Book Synopsis Biocarburants : 5 Questions qui dérangent by : Jean-Louis Lemarchand
Download or read book Biocarburants : 5 Questions qui dérangent written by Jean-Louis Lemarchand and published by Editions TECHNIP. This book was released on 2008 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Tsunami silencieux ", " insécurité alimentaire grandissante "... Les mots ne manquent pas pour décrire le désastre humanitaire que nous sommes en train de vivre. Devant la multiplication croissante des émeutes de la faim, le monde s'inquiète et les organisations internationales tirent la sonnette d'alarme : cette crise pourrait avoir des conséquences aussi graves qu'une guerre... D'abord présenté comme l'arme suprême contre les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, le biocarburant est aujourd'hui tenu responsable de tous les maux de la terre : flambée du cours des matières premières agricoles, déforestation, crise alimentaire... Considéré il y a peu comme un complément rêvé et " propre " du pétrole pour les transports, le biocarburant aurait même des conséquences dangereuses sur l'environnement. ne serait-il alors qu'une énorme arnaque technique, environnementale et humaine ? faut-il alors abandonner sans tarder l'agrocarburant - appelé ainsi par les écologistes purs et durs - pour protéger la planète et faire reculer la famine à nouveau menaçante ? Ou dont-on attendre que les biocarburants de la deuxième génération, produits de base de denrées non-alimentaires et de déchets des cultures soient efficaces ? A l'heure où le débat fait rage, " Les Biocarburants : cinq questions qui dérangent " est un ouvrage qui nous concerne tous. Il réfléchit sur un sujet majeur de ce début du XXIe siècle qui touche à trois domaines-clés inséparables : l'énergie, l'agriculture et l'environnement.
