Download or read book Global Trade Smuggling and the Making of Economic Liberalism written by Felicia Gottmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imported from India, China, the Levant, and Persia and appreciated for their diversity, designs, fast bright colours and fine weave, Asian textiles became so popular in France that in 1686 the state banned their import, consumption and imitation. A fateful decision. This book tells the story of smuggling on a vast scale, savvy retailers and rebellious consumers. It also reveals how reformers in the French administration itself sponsored a global effort to acquire the technological know-how necessary to produce such textiles and how the vitriolic debates surrounding the eventual abolition of the ban were one of the decisive moments in the development of Enlightenment economic liberalism.

Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructal Theory of Social Dynamics brings together for the first time social scientists and engineers who present predictive theory of social organization, as a conglomerate of mating flows that morph in time to flow more easily. The book offers a new way to look at social phenomena as part of natural phenomena, and examines a new domain of application of engineering such as thermodynamic optimization, thermoeconomics and "design as science".

Download or read book Peri urban futures Scenarios and models for land use change in Europe written by Kjell Nilsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, peri-urbanisation is one of the most pervasive processes of land use change in Europe with strong impacts on both the environment and quality of life. It is a matter of great urgency to determine strategies and tools in support of sustainable development. The book synthesizes the results of PLUREL, a large European Commission funded research project (2007-2010). Tools and strategies of PLUREL address main challenges of managing land use in peri-urban areas. These results are presented and illustrated by means of 7 case studies which are at the core of the book. This volume presents a novel, future oriented approach to the planning and management of peri-urban areas with a main focus on scenarios and sustainability impact analysis. The research is unique in that it focuses on the future by linking quantitative scenario modeling and sustainability impact analysis with qualitative and in-depth analysis of regional strategies, as well as including a study at European level with case study work also involving a Chinese case study.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation de l'éditeur : "The interactions between law and culture in addressing the legal problems at the end of a life are currently being discussed in many countries. The discourse on this issue should be multidisciplinary, taking into account its legal, medical, ethical, philosophical and anthropological aspects. The concepts designed to manage the legal problems that occur when a life comes to an end are closely linked to the culture of each country. For this reason, countries with different cultural backgrounds have been selected for this comparative end-of-life study. In France, Germany and Italy, which have a continental legal system, the United Kingdom, which has a common law system, and India, the various religions and cultures exert an important influence on the modernisation of the legislation in this respect. The book deals with recent legislative changes and developments in the countries surveyed."

Download or read book Am nagement du territoire written by Yves Madiot and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'aménagement du territoire, c'est la vie même d'une société, la synthèse de ses choix de développement. C'est la marque, dans la géographie d'un pays, de son idéologie, de ses espoirs, de ses hésitations aussi. Celles de la France qui, depuis cinq décennies, tente d'aménager son territoire, sont caractéristiques des incertitudes de notre pays sur son avenir, ses objectifs et les moyens de les atteindre. Des politiques ambitieuses et cohérentes sont lancées mais tournent court, des opérations ponctuelles et donc limitées se succèdent et des institutions multiples interviennent sans pouvoir coordonner leurs compétences. Le discours politique est souvent juste mais demeure, dans la réalité des choses, c'est-à-dire sur le terrain, fort éloigné des objectifs qu'il s'assigne. Local, régional, national ou européen, l'aménagement du territoire doit trouver ses marques, c'est-à-dire dégager des fondements sur lesquels il pourra s'appuyer durablement. La loi d'orientation pour l'aménagement et le développement du territoire du 4 février 1995, modifiée par la loi d'orientation pour l'aménagement et le développement durable du territoire du 25 juin 1999, lui fournit un cadre et lui donne l'ampleur qui lui manquait. Son application et son évaluation doivent être suivies avec un soin particulier. Le couple " ville-région ", dans l'ensemble français comme dans l'ensemble européen, peut lui apporter une assise solide et efficace. Il commande la réalité d'aujourd'hui et celle qui se dessine pour demain. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants des facultés de droit et des Instituts d'études politiques (IEP) mais également aux étudiants en géographie.

Download or read book Am nagement du territoire written by Pierre Mazet and published by Dalloz-Sirey. This book was released on 2000 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'aménagement du territoire a connu, ces dernières années, des évolutions rapides. La décentralisation, la construction européenne, les mutations économiques et sociales ont conduit les pouvoirs publics à modifier leurs politiques publiques et le cadre normatif de leurs interventions. La politique d'aménagement et de développement du territoire est devenue partenariale, comme en témoignent les deux lois d'orientation du 4 février 1994 et du 25 juin 2000, associant les collectivités territoriales et les services de l'Union européenne. Les objectifs affichés sont ambitieux : il est question de concevoir, dans un projet global, des politiques de transports, de développement économique, de recomposition des services publics, de revitalisation de l'espace rural, de gestion plus solidaire de l'espace urbain, le tout dans un souci de développement durable. Du point de vue institutionnel, l'émergence de nouveaux territoires d'action ne fait que souligner l'obsolescence ou la faible pertinence parfois des découpages administratifs traditionnels. Plus que jamais, l'aménagement et le développement du territoire se présentent comme un grand chantier où les pouvoirs publics doivent faire preuve de volontarisme. Ce livre dresse un panorama des acteurs, des instruments et du contenu des politiques d'aménagement et de développement du territoire, tout en soulignant l'évolution des enjeux. Il est destiné aux étudiants des Facultés de droit, des instituts d'études politiques mais également des Facultés de géographie.
