Blue Security in the Indo-Pacific
This book advances a holistic conceptualisation of maritime security, under the term ‘Blue Security’, and situates it in states across the Indo-Pacific. The Indo-Pacific encompasses a vast space, incorporating two of the planet’s biggest oceans, the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, as well as littoral and hinterland states home to half the world’s population. Security challenges abound across the maritime Indo-Pacific, ranging from the risk of inter-state war at sea to so-called blue crimes, like piracy, smuggling, and illegal fishing. Climate change and marine pollution, as well as the over-exploitation of scarce and sometimes fragile resources, also pose threats to human security, s...
Property Diversity and its Implications
Property is more diverse than is usually assumed. Developing the concept of property diversity, this book explores the varied role of property in placed human landscapes. In acknowledging the propertied diversity about us, the book highlights the paucity of our settled contemporary assumptions of property as defined by private ownership. Challenging this universalizing model, the book analyses how this self-limiting view produces critical blind spots in modern property discourse. In response, it offers a re-conceptualization of property that matches the grounded reality of our rich and diverse relationships with land. Integrating the plurality of real property types (private, public and common) with inclusive understandings of both interest and ownership, it thus identifies and substantiates an overarching theory of property diversity. Drawing on studies from numerous jurisdictions, including the USA, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, its analysis of property as something more – and indeed other – than a place-less abstraction provides an invaluable contribution to the contemporary law and theory of property.

Toxic Lake
"Onondaga Lake is sacred territory for members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. But by the mid-twentieth century, it was dubbed "the most polluted lake in America." The most expensive cleanup effort in American history was initiated in the 1990s, which, in turn, generated a new set of controversies"--

Report of the NICOLE Workshop
The restructuring of European economies, including the migration of manufacturing to Asia, has resulted in many underused, derelict and contaminated industrial sites. At the same time land demand, principally lead by housing, has made many of these urban sites into attractive assets. The owners of these sites would like to realise the value of these assets and at the same time avoid any future risk of liability. Developers/constructors use the uplift in land values to decontaminate previously developed land, provide development platforms and clean cover layers, and build the necessary infrastructure, while at the same time generating returns and managing risks. Municipalities and local communities look to local economic, social and environmental regeneration and to provide for a sustainable future. The sale, decontamination and redevelopment of post industrial land are vital to all these stakeholders needs. The workshop was divided into four sessions: Drivers for redevelopment of sites for government - municipality - industry - redevelopers; Management of liability; Case studies; Tools and; communication. The workshop also included an interactive game session on site redevelopment.
