Book Synopsis The Human Right to Water by : Inga Winkler
Download or read book The Human Right to Water written by Inga Winkler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations General Assembly and the Human Rights Council recognised the human right to water in 2010. This formal recognition has put the issue high on the international agenda, but by itself leaves many questions unanswered. This book addresses this gap and clarifies the legal status and meaning of the right to water through a detailed analysis of its legal foundations, legal nature, normative content and corresponding State obligations. The human right to water has wide-ranging implications for the distribution of water. Examining these implications requires putting the right to water into the broader context of different water uses and analysing the linkages and competition with other human rights that depend on water for their realisation. Water allocation is a highly political issue reflecting societal power relations, with current priorities often benefitting the well-off and powerful. Human rights, in contrast, require prioritising the most basic needs of all people. The human right to water has the potential to address these underlying structural causes of the lack of access to water rooted in inequalities and poverty by empowering people to hold the State accountable to live up to its human rights obligations and to demand that their basic needs are met with priority.
Book Synopsis The New World Order Ideology and Africa by : Tatah Mentan
Download or read book The New World Order Ideology and Africa written by Tatah Mentan and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New World Order Ideology expressed in the form of neoliberal globalization has been used by numerous politicians, scholars and media men through the ages. It refers to a worldwide conspiracy to effect complete and total control over the planet through money farming. This book examines the case of Africa put directly on the chopping board as client states by this ideology when less hampered by idealistic slogans as human rights, raising living standards and democratization to better the achievement of the agenda of the money farmers whose goal is to establish government by loan operations. The money farmers strategy, as in credit card companies, is to lend as much as the subject target can borrow and still pay fees, charges and interest payments. This means to encourage them to borrow, loan after loan, consolidate all other loans and keep lending up until the crop of foreign exchange seems in jeopardy. The ideal from the Lending Agency viewpoint is to get an African country maxed out on loans to the point that it actually operates all of its government and the nation on LOANS. Once that goal is achieved, you basically have a never ending crop of FOREIGN EXCHANGE from helpless and hopeless African governments and people. Here is Tatah Mentan at his trenchant best!

Book Synopsis The Global Water System in the Anthropocene by : Anik Bhaduri
Download or read book The Global Water System in the Anthropocene written by Anik Bhaduri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Water System in the Anthropocene provides the platform to present global and regional perspectives of world-wide experiences on the responses of water management to global change in order to address issues such as variability in supply, increasing demands for water, environmental flows and land use change. It helps to build links between science and policy and practice in the area of water resources management and governance, relates institutional and technological innovations and identifies in which ways research can assist policy and practice in the field of sustainable freshwater management. Until the industrial revolution, human beings and their activities played an insignificant role influencing the dynamics of the Earth system, the sum of our planet‘s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes. Today, humankind even exceeds nature in terms of changing the biosphere and affecting all other facets of Earth system functioning. A growing number of scientists argue that humanity has entered a new geological epoch that needs a corresponding name: the Anthropocene. Human activities impact the global water system as part of the Earth system and change the way water moves around the globe like never before. Thus, managing freshwater use wisely in the planetary water cycle has become a key challenge to reach global environmental sustainability.

Book Synopsis Applied Business Ethics: Foundations For Study And Daily Practice by : Mathias Schuz
Download or read book Applied Business Ethics: Foundations For Study And Daily Practice written by Mathias Schuz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What has ethics got to do with my job? How can I take on ethical responsibility and help to make my company more successful at the same time? Although 'ethical responsibility' has become something of a catchphrase these days, most people only have a vague idea what it means and how it can be demonstrated in actual practice.Disasters like the Volkswagen's emission scandal, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the nuclear meltdown of Fukushima, the global financial crisis, and countless lesser-known cases of damage to human beings and the environment are the result of unethically irresponsible business practices. Efforts to maximize profits frequently lead to reckless behavior, as those in charge focus on short-term benefits and ignore social and environmental risks. Their actions have negative consequences, not only for the victims but, in many cases, for the perpetrators themselves too. Aggrieved interest groups or disadvantaged stakeholders may react with strikes, public protests, or boycotts, jeopardizing their reputation and profitability.This textbook, Applied Business Ethics, is the result of many years of research work and lecturing, and is an attempt to present the most important principles and the latest approaches in business ethics to students, teachers, and business practitioners alike, and help them to make business decisions that everyone concerned will benefit from, rather than just a few fortunate stakeholders.The author illustrates his theoretical subject matter with practical examples of real-life situations and provides numerous exercises to help the reader grasp complex issues, moral dilemmas, and business risks better. In clear, accessible, and easily understandable terms, he demonstrates how ways of finding satisfactory solutions can be found in a systematic way thanks to interdisciplinary research and philosophical reflection.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Water Use and Management by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book Sustainable Water Use and Management written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributing to the growing debate on the need for sustainable water use and management, with concrete examples of new approaches, concepts, arguments, methods and findings which illustrate how this can be achieved, this book will be attractive for large groups of readers familiar with one or more of the themes it tackles, and to the general public. Within this context, the book makes use of many tables and graphics, which bring the many messages together. This approach is intended not only for those working on water matters (e.g. bureaucrats, water managers, policymakers, journalists, etc.) and interested in water management issues and sustainability at large, but also for students of water management, water politics, environmental policy, water economics, water engineering and sustainability studies. Located at the crossroads of two key phenomena: sustainability and water, this book brings forward academic research and discussions on water efficiency, new technologies, and the water-agriculture nexus. It also benefits readers by tackling matters related to trans-boundary cooperation on water (including rainwater) and river-basin management, pricing issues, participatory water management, and the role of women in sustainable water use, amongst others.
Download or read book Local/Global Narratives written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade and a half, Germany has experienced a period of political and cultural turbulence which many have attributed to the combined challenges of unification and globalisation. In response to growing exposure to global markets, politics and migration debates about identity have increasingly been renationalised. At the same time, there has been a notable reappraisal in Germany (and in German Studies) of the regional and global as spaces for the construction of identity. This volume sets out to explore these complex and at times contradictory trends, focusing in particular on developments in Germany since the 1970s, although chapters treating earlier periods are also included. The volume brings together British, Irish, German, Canadian and American scholars working in the field, and resulted from a conference organised by Women in German Studies at the University of Bath. The first section is primarily concerned with the specifically German concept of locality known as Heimat and its changing relationship with the global. Included are explorations of the writings of Kafka, Bachmann, Johnson, Sell, Wolf, Brinkmann and Jelinek amongst others as well as films by Schlöndorff and Steyerl. The second section focuses on the impact of the global on institutions and rituals such as commemoration, memorialisation, and architecture, which have traditionally been influential in shaping national self-images. Overall, this volume concludes that the nature of the relationship to the local has fundamentally changed under the impact of globalisation.
Book Synopsis Ein Planet voller Überraschungen / Our Surprising Planet by : Reinhard F. Hüttl
Download or read book Ein Planet voller Überraschungen / Our Surprising Planet written by Reinhard F. Hüttl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Erde ist ein außergewöhnlicher Planet. Und seine Geheimnisse sind noch keineswegs entschlüsselt. Lernen Sie das System Erde mit diesem Buch besser kennen und erfahren Sie, wie Geowissenschaftler heute die Strukturen, Prozesse und Wechselwirkungen unseres Heimatplaneten erforschen und zu welch überraschenden Entdeckungen sie dabei immer wieder kommen. Earth is an exceptional planet. And by no means have all its secrets been deciphered yet. With this book, you are invited to gain a better knowledge of System Earth, and you will learn how today’s geoscientists examine the structures, processes and interactions of our home planet and what surprising discoveries they often make. Einen Planeten wie die Erde gibt es im All nach unserem heutigen Wissen kein zweites Mal. Unser Heimatplanet erweist sich bei näherer Betrachtung als ein einzigartiges System von Beziehungen und Wechselwirkungen zwischen den großen Teilsystemen Geosphäre, Atmosphäre, Hydrosphäre, Kryosphäre und Biosphäre. Deren überraschend fein abgestimmtes Zusammenspiel konnte Leben – einschließlich des Menschen – hervorbringen, das seinerseits wiederum die Teilsysteme modifiziert. Im Zuge der Erforschung dieses hochkomplexen Systems haben sich die Geowissenschaften in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark gewandelt. Ihre einzelnen Fachdisziplinen verstehen sich heute auch als Teilkomponenten einer systemischen Betrachtung. Und Themen wie Klimawandel und Ressourcenverknappung zeigen, dass moderne Geoforschung nicht nur faszinierend, sondern für den Menschen, der die Erde als Lebens- und Gestaltungsraum nutzt, unverzichtbar ist. Dabei haben wir noch viel zu entdecken. Die Erkundung der Erde – sei es an deren direkt zugänglicher Oberfläche oder im tiefen Untergrund, sei es im Labor oder bei der Beobachtung aus dem Weltraum – bringt ständig neue, erstaunliche Einsichten hervor. Aber es geht um mehr als packende Wissenschaft: Ohne geowissenschaftliche Forschung, die heute ein global vernetztes Unterfangen ist, sind Antworten auf die Herausforderungen einer ständig wachsenden Weltbevölkerung und einer zunehmenden Inanspruchnahme der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen nicht zu finden. Große Forschungseinrichtungen wie das Deutsche GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ in Potsdam leisten hierfür bedeutende Beiträge. GFZ-Mitarbeiter gewähren in diesem ebenso spannend wie verständlich geschriebenen Buch faszinierende Einblicke in ihre Arbeit – eine Arbeit, die dem besseren Verständnis des Systems Erde dient und die Grundlagen für ein möglichst umfassendes Erdsystemmanagement liefert. As far as we know, there is no other planet like Earth in the universe. At closer inspection our home planet reveals itself as a unique system of relationships and interactions of the major subsystems, the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. Their surprisingly fine-tuned interactions were capable to bring forth life, including the evolution of humans, and life in turn modifies the subsystems yet again. In researching this highly complex system, the Earth sciences have changed significantly in recent decades. Today, its various disciplines are considered to be components of a systemic approach. At the same time topics such as climate change and shortage of resources indicate that modern geological research is not only fascinating but also indispensible for us humans, who use Earth as habitat and creative space. There is much to discover still. In the ongoing exploration of Earth – be it at its easily accessible surface or deep below, be it in the lab or from space – new, astonishing findings are constantly being uncovered. But geoscientific research does not simply focus on exciting science. It is a truly global undertaking, without which answers to the many challenges of a continuously growing world population and an increasing pressure on the natural life systems cannot be found. Large research institutions such as the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam make important contributions to this progress. In this exciting and very accessible book, GFZ researchers provide fascinating insights into their work – work that serves a better understanding of System Earth and provides the basis for the best possible and comprehensive Earth system management.
Book Synopsis China in a Global Context by : Jens Damm
Download or read book China in a Global Context written by Jens Damm and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2018 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China as a place of isolation hiding from the world behind a great wall – an image which has become exposed as a pejorative cliché. However, The opposite is the case: The country has been immersed in transnational and transcultural exchange for centuries. China was, is and will be part of a global context. This volume sheds new light on the dimensions of China’s continuous engagement with the world: as an inspiration for European garden designers, as a participant in global dialogue on culture, law and innovative technology, as a destination for academics, business leaders and refugees, but also – and increasingly so – as a powerful political actor in Asia and throughout the world.
