Earth at Risk in the 21st Century: Rethinking Peace, Environment, Gender, and Human, Water, Health, Food, Energy Security, and Migration
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century offers critical interdisciplinary reflections on peace, security, gender relations, migration and the environment, all of which are threatened by climate change, with women and children affected most. Deep-rooted gender discrimination is also a result of the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water, biota and air. In the Anthropocene, the management of human society and global resources has become unsustainable and has created multiple conflicts by increasing survival threats primarily for poor people in the Global South. Alternative approaches to peace and security, focusing from bottom-up on an engendered peace with s...

The Protection of Green Spaces for Climate Change Adaptation
The Protection of Green Spaces for Climate Change Adaptation identifies how spatial planning and climate change adaptation are linked by examining the protection of green spaces in cities across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Australia. This book identifies how, in each case, spatial planning instruments can influence the protection of green spaces, and whether – and if so how – they are being adapted in response to actual and expected effects from climate change. In doing so, the institutional frameworks of each country analysed are first presented. This provides the basis for discussing the key problems occurring at the state (and city) level in responding to the ch...
Pathology Diagnosis and Social Research
The diagnosis of social pathologies has long been a central concern for social researchers working within, and on the peripheries of, Critical Theory. As this volume will elaborate, the pathology diagnosing imagination enables a “thicker” form of social critique, fostering research that pushes beyond the parameters of liberal social and political thought. Faced with impending climatic catastrophe, the accelerating inequities of neoliberalism, the ascent of authoritarian movements globally, and one-dimensional computational modes of thought, a viable form of normative social critique is now more important than ever. The central aim of this volume is thus to champion the pathology diagnosing imagination as a vehicle for conducting such timely social criticism.
The Paraná River Basin
This book provides insight into the hydrology, ecosystem services and management of water resources in the Paraná River basin, including the importance of water to the socio-economic development of the countries within the watershed. Running through Brazil. Paraguay and Argentina, the Paraná River and its watershed is home to some of South America's major population centers as well as important ecosystems threatened by development. At the same time, the river is a major resource driving the economies of the nations within its boundaries. This volume examines the impacts of environmental degradation, and the tradeoffs between the energy sector and the maintenance of ecosystem services. In p...
A ordem ambiental internacional
Problemas como poluição atmosférica, aquecimento global e conservação da diversidade biológica transpassam as fronteiras de países. A temática ambiental tem ganhado com isso contornos internacionais. Na construção de um sistema internacional multilateral que trate desses assuntos surgem idéias como segurança ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável. Seria possível regular as ações humanas de modo a contemplar estes dois aparentes antagonismos? O autor procura responder esta questão a partir das principais convenções internacionais sobre o ambiente.
