Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ressource vitale, l’eau est très inégalement répartie sur notre planète. L’accroissement démographique rapide dans des zones arides, la multiplication d’usages de l’eau souvent contradictoires, des nationalismes sourcilleux, lorsqu’ils s’allient, exacerbent ce caractère vital de l’eau qui est devenue un enjeu économique et donc un enjeu de politique nationale et internationale. D’ailleurs, n’utilise-t-on pas de plus en plus fréquemment le terme d’« hydropolitique » ? De nombreux conflits pour l’eau ont eu lieu au cours de l’Histoire et il existe à l’heure actuelle un risque potentiellement élevé d’en voir surgir de nouveaux, alors que l’eau elle-même a été utilisée comme arme dans des conflits récents. Cet ouvrage s’efforce de présenter les solutions qui seraient les plus susceptibles de les désamorcer en maintenant de ce fait la sécurité mondiale.
Download or read book A Critical Theory for the Anthropocene written by Nathanaël Wallenhorst and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomicus, the logic of responsibility of the homo collectivus and the logic of the hospitality of the homo religatus. The intellectual and political attitude outlined in this book is an extension of critical theory: the work also puts forward a critique of what poses a problem in our relationship to the world and suggests how to overcome it, the ultimate goal being social transformation. The author propose an uprising and an anthropological consolidation of politics based on the revitalization that is brought about by the sharing of a conviviality both between humans and with what is non-human. The identification of conviviality as an educational paradigm to survive the Anthropocene gives us the much needed reason for hope despite this heritage of the Anthropocene. In addition to Arendtian thinking, this critical theory for the Anthropocene draws on the political thinking of several contemporary authors including Maurice Bellet, Hartmut Rosa, Andreas Weber, Dominique Bourg, and Christian Arnsperger. This volume is of interest to researchers in the Anthropocene.
Download or read book New Security Frontiers written by Sai Felicia Krishna-Hensel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The globalizing world is increasingly confronting a new category of security issues related to resource availability. The resource environment contains both traditional categories, such as energy, foodstuffs, and water, as well as new technologically related resources, such as rare earth minerals. The essays in this volume emphasize both the uniqueness and the magnitude of these new challenges, while simultaneously acknowledging that cooperation and competition in response to these security concerns occur within the context of both the historical and contemporary international power configurations. Moreover, these challenges are of a global nature and will require global perspectives, global thinking, and innovative global solutions. Krishna-Hensel brings together a wide range of topics focusing on critical resource availability impacting upon global security and the geopolitical ramifications of resource competition. The volume addresses the development of strategic thinking on these issues and underscores the increasing awareness that this is a critical area of concern in the twenty-first century global landscape.

Download or read book L or bleu written by Maude Barlow and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui, un milliard et demi de personnes n'ont pas accès à une eau saine et propre ; chaque année, plus de 5 millions meurent de maladies liées à la mauvaise qualité de l'eau. L'agriculture consomme 70 % de l'eau douce mondiale, l'industrie 20 %, les ménages seulement 10 %, et la quantité d'eau douce disponible ne représente que o,5 % de la totalité de l'eau de la planète... En dépit de ces statistiques alarmantes, l"humanité, réticente à modifier ses pratiques, continue à polluer, détourner et épuiser inconsidérément les réserves. Plus grave, les institutions internationales - la Banque mondiale, le Fonds monétaire international, l'Organisation mondiale du commerce - préconisent la privatisation et la marchandisation de cette ressource. Plusieurs mouvements de citoyens, de l'Inde à la Colombie en passant par la France, ont compris qu'il est grand temps de réagir : tandis que certains s'opposent à la construction de barrages, qui entraîne le déplacement de milliers de personnes, d'autres militent contre la privatisation des services municipaux de distribution d'eau. Mais la solution viendra surtout de l'affirmation de quelques principes fondamentaux visant à la protection de l'or bleu, et de la reconnaissance par les instances internationales de l'accès à l'eau douce comme droit humain inaliénable.
Download or read book Power and Water in Central Asia written by Filippo Menga and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is an irreplaceable and transient resource, which crosses political boundaries in the form of rivers, lakes, and groundwater aquifers. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, led to the birth of fifteen countries including the five Central Asian republics, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. When the USSR ceased to exist, so did the centralised Soviet resource distribution system that managed the exchange and allocation of water, energy, and food supplies. A whole new set of international relations emerged, and the newly formed Central Asian governments had to redefine the policies related to the exchange and sharing of their natural resources. This book analyses the role of state power in transboundary water relations. It provides an in–depth study of the evolution of interstate relations in Central Asia in the field of water from 1991-2015. Taking as a case study the planned construction of the Rogun and Kambarata dams in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, the author examines various forms of overt and covert power shaping interstate relations and the way hegemonic and counter-hegemonic measures are put in place in an international river basin. He argues that the intimate correlation between the concepts of power and hegemony can offer key insights to the analysis and understanding of transboundary water relations. While the analytical focus is placed on state power, the book demonstrates that hegemonic and counter-hegemonic tactics represent the ways in which power is wielded and observed. Offering fresh theoretical interpretations to the subjects of power and counter-hegemony in the Aral Sea basin, this book puts forward the original circle of hydro-hegemony, an analytical framework in which the various forms of power are connective in the function of hegemony. It will be of interest to scholars in the field of water and environmental politics and Central Asian Studies.
