Download or read book Public Participation in Sustainability Science written by Bernd Kasemir and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how citizens can participate more effectively in sustainability science and environmental policy debates. It discusses designs for participatory procedures, and experiences of their application to issues of global change. While the focus is on citizen participation, the involvement of specific stakeholders - including water managers and venture capitalists - is also addressed. The book describes how focus group methods were combined with the interactive use of computer models into new forms of participation, tested with six hundred citizens. The results are discussed in relation to other important topics, including greenhouse gas and water management. By combining this with an examination of issues of interactive governance and developing country participation, the book provides state-of-the-art, practical insights for students, researchers and policy makers alike.

Download or read book Alternative Food Networks for Sustainable Just Resilient and Productive Food Systems written by José Luis Vicente-Vicente and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing evidence that the current globalised agri-food system is neither sustainable nor resilient. It is responsible for around one third of the global GHG emissions and is a major driver of biodiversity loss. Furthermore, its structure and distribution mode do not provide food security for all and foster socio-economic inequalities between different parts of the planet. Consequently, an increasing number of scientists and members of the civil society are demanding a radical transformation of agri-food systems. The creation of alternative food networks (AFNs) represent a possible first step towards agri-food system transformation. AFNs can incorporate local, indigenous and innovative knowledge and bring together a diversity of actors to connect food production and consumption and create new practices and relationships around food. The creation of AFNs, and ultimately of Alternative Food Systems (AFS), should involve different actors, from farmers to social movements, from policymakers to scientists. AFNs have the potential to contribute to a transformation towards sustainable, just, resilient and productive food systems, but even though they have increased in numbers and organisational forms in recent years, they still remain in a niche. Consequently, scientific evidence of their performance is still limited. This research topic will contribute to a comprehensive, multi-scalar and critical (e.g. including potential counter-effects) understanding of the current state and future potential of AFNs. It will address multiple aspects, ranging from social, economic and environmental aspects to productivity, participation and justice. Moreover, it will highlight the role of governance, power relations and institutions, as well as barriers and ways forward to promote AFNs and their role in food system transformation.

Download or read book Property Rights and Incomplete Contracts written by Rohan Pitchford and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model of externalities with sequential location choice is developed. The first mover decides on location before it knows the identity of the second mover. Joint location results in a negative externality. The court, having limited information, allocates property rights over the externality based on the timing of location. Sufficient conditions are presented supporting the 'coming to the nuisance' doctrine, where the first mover is given property rights. This doctrine is not always supported: greater surplus may be generated by giving property rights to the second mover. A sufficient condition guaranteeing optimality for any property-rights allocation is derived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is growing interest from governments in participation levels in sport, the extent to which governments actively promote ‘sport for all’ and their motives for doing so vary greatly. This is the first book to examine the sport participation policies of national governments across the world and to offer a comparative analysis of the motives for, and successes and failures of those policies. Organized around a series of sixteen national case studies, including the UK, the US, Australia, China and India, the book enables students and practitioners to compare and contrast the development, implementation and impact of sport participation policies throughout the world. An introductory chapter provides a framework for understanding and interpreting those case studies and each chapter then addresses the following key themes: national structures for sport national sporting cultures participation levels in organized sport the nature and extent of government intervention implementation of governmental policy the impact of government policy. With contributions from many of the world’s leading experts on sport policy and sport development, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the role of governments in relation to supporting and regulating their citizens’ involvement in sport.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major empirical interest is whether a permanent change in economic fundamentals produces a growth effect. However, a direct time series analysis of this hypothesis may not always be feasible due to a lack of such events. This paper explains why a test regarding the long run effect of a temporary change in investment share may, under appropriate conditions, provide indirectly the answer regarding the effect of a (possibly hypothetical) permanent change in investment share. Applying the proposed test to the data of G7 countries, it is found that a disturbance in investment share produces only a temporary effect for a majority of countries. Methodologically, this paper contributes to structural VAR analysis by deriving a empirically verifiable condition for a bivariate cointegrated system under which the recursive ordering and long run identifying restrictions deliver statistically similiar results.
