Book Synopsis Biodiversité et appropriation by : Franck-Dominique Vivien
Download or read book Biodiversité et appropriation written by Franck-Dominique Vivien and published by Elsevier Masson. This book was released on 2002 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'érosion de la diversité biologique est un problème d'environnement global qui a connu une reconnaissance institutionnelle lors du Sommet de la Terre de Rio avec la signature de la Convention sur la diversité biologique. Ce texte, ratifié aujourd'hui par plus de 180 pays, a la particularité de vouloir faire des droits de propriété des instruments de valorisation et de protection de la biodiversité. Il est vrai que, sous la poussée des évolutions du génie génétique, le problème de la diversité biologique s'est largement institutionnalisé sous la forme d'une opposition entre les pays du Nord et ceux du Sud au travers des idées de manque à gagner, de vols de richesse, de " biopiraterie " en ce qui concerne les ressources biologiques... Aujourd'hui encore, le débat n'est pas clos. Si certains considèrent que les négociations internationales qui se poursuivent conduisent à l'instauration de " nouvelles enclosures ", d'autres y voient, au contraire, des possibilités de développement économique et le moyen de réguler des échanges internationaux portant sur des gènes. Un travail de réflexion interdisciplinaire est donc nécessaire pour tenter d'y voir clair et comprendre l'ampleur et la complexité des questions que soulèvent les négociations entourant la diversité biologique et les dynamiques technico-économiques en cours qui imprègnent fortement ces dernières. Cet ouvrage, né de la tenue en juin 2000 des journées d'étude " Biodiversité et appropriation : les droits de propriété en question ", se veut une contribution à celui-ci. Des spécialistes des principaux champs disciplinaires des sciences de l'homme et de la société y livrent une analyse des enjeux posés par cette problématique des droits de propriété dans le domaine de la diversité biologique.

Book Synopsis Green Grabbing: A New Appropriation of Nature by : James Fairhead
Download or read book Green Grabbing: A New Appropriation of Nature written by James Fairhead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, ecosystems are for sale. ‘Green grabbing’ – the appropriation of land and resources for environmental ends – is an emerging process of deep and growing significance. A vigorous debate on ‘land grabbing’ already highlights instances where ‘green’ credentials are called upon to justify appropriations of land for food or fuel. Yet in other cases, environmental green agendas are the core drivers and goals of grabs. Green grabs may be drivn by biodiversity conservation, biocarbon sequestration, biofuels, ecosystem services or ecotourism, for example. In some cases theyse agendas involve the wholesale alienation of land, and in others the restructuring of rules and authority in the access, use and management of resources that may have profoundly alienating effects. Green grabbing builds on well-known histories of colonial and neo-colonial resource alienation in the name of the environment. Yet it involves novel forms of valuation, commodification and markets for pieces and aspects of nature, and an extraordinary new range of actors and alliances. This book draws together seventeen original cases from African, Asian and Latin American settings to ask: To what extent and in what ways do ‘green grabs’ constitute new forms of appropriation of nature? What political and discursive dynamics underpin ‘green grabs’? How and when do appropriations on the ground emerge out of circulations of green capital? What are the implications for ecologies, landscapes and livelihoods? Who is gaining and who is losing? How are agrarian social relations, rights and authority being restructured, and in whose interests? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Peasant Studies.

Book Synopsis Economic Reason and Political Reason by : Jean Mercier Ythier
Download or read book Economic Reason and Political Reason written by Jean Mercier Ythier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public space of democracies is constructed in a context that is marked by the digital transformation of the economy and society. This construction is carried out primarily through deliberation. Deliberation informs and guides both individual and collective action. To shed light on the concept of deliberation, it is important to consider the rationality of choice; but what type of rationality is this? References to economic reason are at once widespread, crucial and controversial. This book therefore deals with arguments used by individuals based on the notions of preferential choice and rational behavior, and also criticizes them. These arguments are examined in the context of the major themes of public debate that help to construct the contemporary public space: "populism", social insurance, social responsibility and environmental issues. Economic Reason and Political Reason underlines the importance of the pragmatist shift of the 2000s and revisits, through the lens of this new approach, the great utilitarian and Rawlsian normative constructs that dominated normative political economics at the end of the 20th century. Alternative approaches, based on the concept of deliberative democracy, are proposed and discussed.
Book Synopsis Marine Genetic Resources, R&D and the Law 1 by : Bleuenn Guilloux
Download or read book Marine Genetic Resources, R&D and the Law 1 written by Bleuenn Guilloux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in research and development reveal the immense diversity and potential of marine genetic resources. Under international law, no specific regime applies to these complex and paradoxical objects of use. The Law of the Sea Convention sets a framework that is partly inadequate for this new category of resources. The Biodiversity Convention and the Nagoya Protocol only address the genetic resources of national areas. Patents allow their holder to exercise a monopoly on exploiting biotechnological creations to extensive claims, questioning the common nature of biodiversity and related knowledge. They hinder research and the objectives of biodiversity law. The legal and practical rules of physical and functional access vary in geometry. They focus on the valorization of research results, crystallizing conflicts of interest between suppliers and users. Sustainable research and development is essential to the knowledge and protection of marine biodiversity. The qualification of marine genetic resources in common, standard contractual tools, distributed research and development infrastructures, negotiation of an agreement on sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, would To remove these inconsistencies.

Book Synopsis The Future of Drylands by : Cathy Lee
Download or read book The Future of Drylands written by Cathy Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drylands have been cradles to some of the world’s greatest civilizations, and contemporary dryland communities feature rich and unique cultures. Dryland ecosystems support a surprising amount of biodiversity. Desertification, however, is a significant land degradation problem in the arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions of the world. Deterioration of soil and plant cover has adversely affected 70% of the world’s drylands as a result of extended droughts as well as mismanagement of range and cultivated lands. The situation is likely to worsen with high population growth rates and accompanying land-use conflicts. The contributions to The Future of Drylands – an international scientific conference held under the leadership of UNESCO – address these issues and offer practical solutions for combating desertification along with conserving and sustainably managing dryland ecosystems. Major themes include the conservation of dryland biological and cultural diversity and the human dryland interface. This volume documents how our improved understanding of drylands provides insight into the health and future prospects of these precious ecosystems that should help ensure that dryland communities enjoy a sustainable future.
Book Synopsis Enterprise Knowledge Capital by : Blandine Laperche
Download or read book Enterprise Knowledge Capital written by Blandine Laperche and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly grounded in an extensive body of international research and analysis, this book investigates the concepts surrounding a firm’s knowledge capital. These concepts play an integral part in the evolution of economic and managerial thinking, particularly in relation to the themes of firm, knowledge and innovation. The author advocates a greater socialization of the production of knowledge capital that stands in contradiction to the strong appropriation strategies that are predominant today. This book presents a historical analysis of the facts with a strong basis in the recent literature in economics and innovation management as well as in case studies of CAC 40 companies that have been conducted over the course of the past few years.
Book Synopsis Power Dynamics in African Forests by : Symphorien Ongolo
Download or read book Power Dynamics in African Forests written by Symphorien Ongolo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses historical perspectives and contemporary challenges of the politics of forestland governance and the related sustainability crisis in Africa. It focusses on the power dynamics between key actors involved in the governance of forest-related resources either for their exploitation or with regards to biodiversity conservation policies promoted at international arenas. The book provides conceptual and empirical contributions on what happens when global sustainability agendas and the related policy instruments meet the realities of domestic politics in Africa. It reveals that several actors in forest-rich countries, especially those with limited sovereignty, have often employed complex informal strategies as the ‘weapon of the weak’ to resist the domination of the most powerful actors of global environmental politics.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity Offsets Between Regulation and Voluntary Commitment by : Marianne Darbi
Download or read book Biodiversity Offsets Between Regulation and Voluntary Commitment written by Marianne Darbi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are witnessing an alarming, global biodiversity crisis with an ongoing loss of species and their habitats. In response, a number of tools and approaches – including some that are contested – are being explored and promoted. Biodiversity offsets are one such approach, and deserve critical examination since the debate surrounding them has often been oversimplified and lacking practical evidence. As such, this study presents a refined typology including seven types of biodiversity offsets and taking into account different contexts, governance arrangements and drivers. It draws on a detailed analysis of theoretical concepts to explain the voluntary implementation of biodiversity offsets using an internet-based (netnographic) research approach. Furthermore it builds on a broad global explorative base of 72 practical examples and presents in-depth case studies for each type. The results reveal a number of global tendencies that allow recommendations to be made for different locations, contexts and stakeholders. They also encourage the expansion of this research field to respond to the pressing needs of policy and practice.

Book Synopsis The Urban Garden City by : Sandrine Glatron
Download or read book The Urban Garden City written by Sandrine Glatron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of the role of gardens in cities throughout different historical periods. It shows that, thanks to various forms of spatial and social organisation, gardens are part of the material urban landscape, biodiversity, symbolic and social shape, and assets of our cities, and are increasingly becoming valued as an ‘order’ to follow. Gardens have long been part of the development of cities, serving different purposes through the ages: shaping neighborhoods to promote health or hygiene, introducing aesthetic or biological elements, gathering the citizens around a social purpose, and providing food and diversity in times of crisis. Highlighting examples that can serve as the basis for comparisons, the chapters offer a brief panorama of experiences and models of gardens in the city – in the European context and in various periods of history – while also discussing issues related to garden cities, urban agriculture and community gardens. The contributors are university staff from various disciplines in the human and life sciences, in discourse with other academics but also with practitioners who are interested in experiences with urban gardens and in promoting an awareness of their spatial, social and ‘philosophical’ goals throughout history. The book will appeal to urban geographers, sociologists and historians, but also to urban ecologists dealing with ecosystem services, biodiversity and sustainable development in cities. From a more operational standpoint, landscape planners and architects are sure to find many of the projects enlightening and inspirational.

Book Synopsis Ownership and Appropriation by : Veronica Strang
Download or read book Ownership and Appropriation written by Veronica Strang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of finite resources, expanding populations and widening structural inequalities, the ownership of things is increasingly contested. Not only are the commons being rapidly enclosed and privatized, but the very idea of what can be owned is expanding, generating conflicts over the ownership of resources, ideas, culture, people, and even parts of people. Understanding processes of ownership and appropriation is not only central to anthropological theorizing but also has major practical applications, for policy, legislative development and conflict resolution.Ownership and Appropriation significantly extends anthropology's long-term concern with property by focusing on everyday notions and acts of owning and appropriating. The chapters document the relationship between ownership, subjectivities and personhood; they demonstrate the critical consequences of materiality and immateriality on what is owned; and they examine the social relations of property. By approaching ownership as social communication and negotiation, the text points to a more dynamic and processual understanding of property, ownership and appropriation.
