Book excerpt: This is a pioneering study which should serve as a model for future research and will to a wide audience' Dharam Ghai, Director United Nations Research Institute for Social Development Structural Adjustment and the Environment (Earthscan, 1992) was the first book to fully examine the effects of 'structural adjustment programmes the economic reform policies required by the World Bank and IMF as part of their lending operations with borrowing countries.

Download or read book Geographical Thoughts in India written by Rana Singh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with roots of Indian geographical thoughts with reference to its historical base, cultural context and visionary message. As a consequence of long cultural history the resultant lifeworld in India converges like a drama and dance of space-time function with transference and transformation. In the passage of time emerged a metaphysical frame of thought, the varieties of heritagescapes, and simultaneously grown the senses to heritage ecology. Of course, attempts have been scanty but the richness always portrayed in literature and literary geography. Historical and cultural geographies in India have not caught that much attention in the academia; however on micro-level distinct attributes are interpreted in the recent literature. Going back to the ancient notions of nature theology, religioscapes and rituals have developed a complex network of belief systems in the Hindu traditions. In these traditions the motherly river Ganga serves as symbol, system and metaphor in the Indian culture. Continuity of cultural manifestations is actively maintained and continued in the Indian villages, where lives three-fourths of India’s population, and serve like a ‘place ballet’. India’s catastrophic march on the road of development and technology is entangled with obstacles and socio-spatial gaps that need to be re-considered in the light of cultural background and historical legacy. All these issues are examined, emphasising dualistic and complimentary perspectives in the West and the East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Buch präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer vom WWF finanzierten Studie, die die Frage zu beantworten sucht, unter welchen Bedingungen die herkömmlichen Anpassungspolitiken von IWF und Weltbank zu unerwünschten sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und Umwelt-Konsequenzen führen und welche Alternativen es ggf. gibt. Unter der anspruchsvollen Fragestellung wird zunächst versucht, die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen der Anpassungspolitik auszuleuchten um dann die (i.d.R. über sie vermittelten) Konsequenzen für die natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen des Landes zu evaluieren. Es wird schließlich ein alternatives Anpassungsszenario entwickelt, das in stärkerem Maße nachhaltige Entwicklung ermöglichen soll. (DÜI-Sbd).
