This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the past decade, there has been an enormous augmentation in the amount of information available on the lemurs of Madagascar. These advances are closely coupled with an increase in the number of national and international researchers working on these animals. As a result, Madagascar has emerged as one of the principal sites of primatological studies in the world. Furthermore, the conserva tion community has a massive interest in the preservation of the natural habitats of the island, and lemurs serve as one of the symbols of this cause. Between 10 and 14 August 1998, the XVIIth International Primatology Society (IPS) Congress was held in Antananarivo, Madagascar. For a country that about a decade ago was largely closed to foreign visitors, this Congress constituted a massive event for the Malagasy scientific community and was assisted by about 550 primatolo gists from 35 different countries. Naturally, given the venue and context of the Con gress, many of the presentations dealt with lemurs and covered a very wide breadth of subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Germany has been a major international player in Africa ever since West Germany's readmission to international politics after 1955, surprisingly little has been written about this topic, and even less reliable knowledge has been established. This study poses the need for a review of Germany's relations with the African continent over the past decades. It challenges scholars to fill the factual gaps that characterize the state of research so far. Ulf Engel is associate professor of politics in Africa at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig. Robert Kappel is professor of politics and economics at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig.

Download or read book Sustainable Development in Science Policy-Making written by Anna Schwachula and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New knowledge, created in international cooperation, is essential for global sustainability. Set against this background, this study focuses on German science policy for research cooperation with developing countries and emerging economies in sustainability research. Based on interviews with policy makers and researchers, the book scrutinizes the actors, processes and contents of science policy in Germany. The author argues that science policy mainly aims at German economic benefits and technology development. This, however, negatively influences global sustainability. To counter existing path dependencies, the author provides recommendations for sustainability-oriented scientific practice and science policy.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays presented in this collection set out to explore various aspects of the issue of governance and to reflect on how governance in Africa can be made to be more responsible. All the contributors exhibit clear awareness of the stupendous problems confronting governance in Africa, and make different suggestions aimed at obviating the difficulties. The volume is a timely and welcome contribution to the never-ending discussions about Africa, its problems, its leaders and managers, and the possible ways of drawing it out of the quagmire into which decades of bad governance, in addition to many other factors, have thrown most countries of the continent.

Download or read book Communicative Sustainability written by Thomas Bearth and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure to understand communicative practices and preferences of local communities is a frequent reason why development fails to produce expected results. Drawing on field research from settings in Indonesia, Uganda, Namibia, and Ivory Coast, this book addresses local viewpoints and gender concepts; the procedures of deliberation, negotiation, and appropriation; and the clashes of underlying language ideologies and language-based social and conceptual projections. It is argued that communicative factors are not reducible to economic ones, but need independent attention in development planning, and are ultimately decisive for outcomes. The book also includes a CD with video sampling. (Series: Swiss: Forschung und Wissenschaft - Vol. 4)

Download or read book Climate change and sustainable development written by Thomas Potthast and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a major framing condition for sustainable development of agriculture and food. Global food production is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time it is among the sectors worst affected by climate change. This book brings together a multidisciplinary group of authors exploring the ethical dimensions of climate change and food. Conceptual clarifications provide a necessary basis for putting sustainable development into practice. Adaptation and mitigation demand altering both agricultural and consumption practices. Intensive vs. extensive production is reassessed with regard to animal welfare, efficiency and environmental implications. Property rights pay an ever-increasing role, as do shifting land-use practices, agro-energy, biotechnology, food policy to green consumerism. And, last but not least, tools are suggested for teaching agricultural and food ethics. Notwithstanding the plurality of ethical analyses and their outcome, it becomes apparent that governance of agri-food is faced by new needs and new approaches of bringing in the value dimension much more explicitly. This book is intended to serve as a stimulating collection that will contribute to debate and reflection on the sustainable future of agriculture and food production in the face of global change.

Download or read book Afrika im Wandel written by Thomas Bearth and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2007 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die in der medialen Öffentlichkeit vorherrschende Wahrnehmung Afrikas als endemische Krisenregion wirft Fragen auf, die sich nicht nur an Afrika, sondern auch an uns selbst richten: Ist die Wahrnehmung Afrikas als defizitärer Kontinent nicht auch das Produkt einer defizitären Wahrnehmung, die weit in die uns mit Afrika verbindende Geschichte zurückreicht? Können wir uns die mentale und wirtschaftlich-politische Abkoppelung Afrikas und die daraus folgenden Wissens- und Verstehensdefizite in einer Welt, die uns täglich die globalen Interdependenzen in allen Lebensbereichen vor Augen führt, überhaupt leisten? Und wie verträgt sich die oft zu Tage tretende Unwissenheit über Afrika mit dem Anspruch einer sich vom Eurozentrismus emanzipiert glaubenden Wissenschaft? In den Beiträgen dieses Sammelbands kommen Fachleute verschiedener Disziplinen zu Wort, die sich die Auseinandersetzung mit der vielschichtigen Realität und den Veränderungen unseres Nachbarkontinents zu ihrer Aufgabe gemacht haben, sowie namhafte Exponenten der öffentlichen Meinungsbildung. Das Themenspektrum reicht von Kunst und Literatur über Konflikt- und Wirtschaftsforschung bis hin zu Fragen des Gesundheitswesens. Ziel ist nicht die restlose Deutung aller "Rätsel" Afrikas, wohl aber – als bescheidener Schritt in diese Richtung – die Erschliessung neuer Wege des Verstehens. Dazu gehört die Information über wenig bekannte Aspekte scheinbar vertrauter Probleme und deren Einordnung in globale Zusammenhänge und lokale Perspektiven. Dazu gehört aber auch die in der Auswahl der Referentinnen und Referenten zum Ausdruck kommende Erkenntnis, dass Verstehen den Dialog mit Afrika nicht erst ermöglicht, sondern voraussetzt.

Download or read book The Spiritual in the Secular written by Patrick Harries and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Livingstone's visit to Cambridge in 1857 was seen as much as a scientific event as a religious one. But he was by no means alone among missionaries in integrating mission with science and other fields of research. Rather, many missionaries were remarkable, pioneering polymaths. This collection of essays explores the ways in which late-nineteenth- and twentieth-century missionaries to Africa contributed to various academic disciplines, such as linguistics, ethnography, social anthropology, zoology, medicine, and many more. This volume includes an introductory chapter by the editors and eleven chapters that analyze missionary research and its impact on knowledge about African contexts. Several themes emerge, including many missionaries' positive views of indigenous discourses and the complicated relationship between missionaries and professional anthropologists.

Download or read book World in Transition 4 written by German Advisory Council On Global Change (Wbgu) and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the 21st century, fighting poverty and protecting the environment are two of the most urgent challenges facing the international community. Environmental changes will jeopardize people's survival to an even greater extent in the future, and will hit the poor hardest. To meet these challenges, it will be essential to breathe new life into the partnership between industrialized and developing countries. It will be equally essential to combine poverty reduction with environmental protection in an integrated policy structure spanning all levels from local to global. In this report, the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) shows that global environmental policy is a prerequisite for global poverty reduction. WBGU analyses the relevant policy processes and delivers recommendations charting the way forward. 'With its interdisciplinary approach, providing a complex and systematic analysis of the poverty-environment nexus, WBGU's latest report breaks new ground. Indira Gandhi's old, convenient maxim was 'Poverty is the biggest polluter'. Put forward at the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, it has been sorely misused ever since to override environmental precaution and prioritize economic development strategies instead. The new WBGU report maps out a way to shape a coherent environment and development policy. This report revitalizes the Rio spirit and gives it a robust scientific base'.

Download or read book Network Dynamics in Emerging Regions of Europe written by David A. Dyker and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book focuses on post-Lisbon Agenda issues of alignment and misalignment on different dimensions of European society and the European economy, including industrial systems, R&D systems, educational systems and job markets. It also looks in particular at the peripheral regions of Europe ? the less developed parts of ?old? Europe, the parts of old Europe that are outside or only half-inside the EU, the new member-states of the EU, and Turkey as the most important EU candidate country. It takes as its methodological starting point the theory of network alignment as developed in SPRU, notably by Nick von Tunzelmann, and builds on this to produce an incisive assessment of the institutions, individual actors and markets that drive the knowledge economy. In all of this, it sets the European picture firmly in the context of global developments in investment, labour and intellectual property flows. Key authors include the editor himself, von Tunzelmann, Andrea Salavetz of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Matija Rojec of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Download or read book European Perspectives on Innovation Management written by Rob Dekkers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers European perspectives on innovation management, including new product and service development, due to the inherent variety of socio-economic perspectives and institutional settings in Europe. The numerous settings and differing perspectives explored in the chapters exemplify diversity, which ultimately leads to enhancing innovation. Understanding such unique approaches will enable companies, universities and other actors to more effectively create innovative products and services, and policy makers to effectively stimulate growth and innovation. The fragmented, distributed economies in Europe also put a strong focus on internationalisation, including innovation management, new product and service development, even within the internally open market of the European Economic Area. European Perspectives on Innovation Management will be of help to researchers, managers, entrepreneurs, practitioners and students working on innovation management and practices embedded in national and regional innovation systems, thus fostering a more innovative Europe.

Download or read book Youth and the State in Guinea: Meandering Lives written by Michelle Engeler and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By combining an ethnographic study of youth with an analysis of the local state in the making, this research monograph introduces the perspective of »meandering lives« to grasp being young and growing up in the Guéckédou borderland, a remote space approximately 700 kilometers southeast of Conakry, Guinea's capital. This history-sensitive perspective represents a fruitful lens to not only depict youth but to also draw a nuanced picture of the functioning of the state in Guinea.
