Описание: This book maps the development of shale gas in multiple democratic governance systems: the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany and Poland. Overall, the book proposes a systemic, participatory, community led approach required to achieve a form of legitimacy that allows communities to derive social priorities by a process of community visioning.

Описание:

Climate change highlights the challenges for long-term policy making in the face of persistent and irreducible levels of uncertainties. It calls for the development of flexible approaches, innovative governance and other elements that contribute to effective and adaptive decision-making. Exploring these new approaches is also a challenge for those involved in climate research and development of adaptation policy.

The book provides a dozen real-life examples of adaptation decision making in the form of case studies:

- Water supply management in Portugal, England and Wales and Hungary

- Flooding, including flood risk in Ireland, coastal flooding and erosion in Southwest France, and flood management in Australia's Hutt River region

- Transport and utilities, including the Austrian Federal railway system, public transit in Dresden, and Qu bec hydro-electric power

- Report examining communication of large numbers of climate scenarios in Dutch climate adaptation workshops.

Описание:

Anthropology is particularly well suited to explore the contemporary predicament in the coming of age of young men. Its grounded and comparative empiricism provides the opportunity to move beyond statistics, moral panics, or gender stereotypes in order to explore specific aspects of life course transitions, as well as the similar or divergent barriers or opportunities that young men in different parts of the world face. Yet, effective contextualization and comparison cannot be achieved by looking at male youths in isolation. This volume undertakes to contextualize male youths’ circumstances and to learn about their lives, perspectives, and actions, and in turn illuminates the larger structures and processes that mediate the experiences entailed in becoming young men. The situation of male youths provides an important vantage point from which to consider broader social transformations and continuities. By paying careful attention to these contexts, we achieve a better understanding of the current influences encountered and acted upon by young people.
