Book Synopsis Social Change In The Pacific Isl by : Robillard
Download or read book Social Change In The Pacific Isl written by Robillard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. The Pacific Ocean is the largest geographical feature on the face of the earth, covering about one third of its entire surface. Occupying part of that large expanse are the far-flung islands of the Pacific. As the papers of this volume clearly indicate, the post-world war II era and decolonization have brought unprecedented change, and the Pacific is now experiencing problems that were formerly associated with other Third World nations. Most Pacific countries have rapidly expanding populations, and over half of all Pacific Islanders are now in their teenage years or younger. Education and modern communications have served to increase aspirations and attracted by hopes of employment and the distractions of urban life, islanders are gravitating to urban centers.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Development and Social Change in the Pacific Islands (1989) by : A.D. Couper
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Development and Social Change in the Pacific Islands (1989) written by A.D. Couper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989. The Pacific Islands are amongst the poorest countries of the developing world. The special problems of their small size, immense distance from major centres and, for many, very poor agricultural possibilities make development extremely difficult. However, recent new advances in maritime technology in a wide range of different areas present substantial new opportunities. This book surveys the new developments — including extended maritime boundaries; giant clam farming; increased exploitation of ocean minerals and new fisheries techniques — and demonstrates the potential for far-reaching economic and social development.

Book Synopsis The Invention of Disaster by : JC Gaillard
Download or read book The Invention of Disaster written by JC Gaillard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This theoretical contribution argues that the domination of Western knowledge in disaster scholarship has allowed normative policies and practices of disaster risk reduction to be imposed all over the world. It takes a postcolonial approach to unpack why scholars claim that disasters are social constructs while offering little but theories, concepts and methods supposed to be universal in understanding the unique and diverse experiences of millions of people across very different cultures. It further challenges forms of governments inherited from the Enlightenment that have been rolled out as standard and ultimate solutions to reduce the risk of disaster. Ultimately, the book encourages the emergence of a more diverse set of world views/senses and ways of knowing for both studying disasters and informing policy and practice of disaster risk reduction. Such pluralism is essential to better reflect local realities of what disasters actually are around the world. This book is an essential read for scholars and postgraduate students interested in disaster studies as well as policy-makers and practitioners of disaster risk reduction.
