Описание: Now available in paperback This book addresses a seemingly paradoxical situation. On the one hand, nationalism from Scotland to the Ukraine remains a resilient political dynamic, fostering secessionist movements below the level of the state. On the other hand, the competence and capacity of states, and indeed the coherence of nationalism as an ideology, are increasingly challenged by patterns of globalization in commerce, cultural communication, and constitutional authority beyond the state. The book sheds light on the relationship between these two processes, addressing why the political currency of nationalism remains strong, even when the salience of its objective-independent and autonomous statehood-becomes ever more attenuated. It does this by taking an interdisciplinary approach both within law and beyond, with contributions from international law, constitutional law, constitutional theory, history, political science, and sociology. The challenge for our time is considerable. Global networks grow ever more sophisticated, while territorial borders, such as those in east and central Europe, grow seemingly more unstable. By bringing together areas of scholarship which have not communicated with one another as much as they should, the book will help develop an on-going dialogue across disciplines with which to understand better these challenging, and potentially destabilizing, developments. Subject: Public International Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Legal Theory, Legal History, Politics, Socio-Legal Studies]

Описание:
'It is my expectation that respect for the critical importance of seed sovereignty will in due course be recognised by member states of the United Nations to be as critical to global peace and security as the UN Charter demands in respect of State sovereign equality, justice, human rights and economic and social wellbeing for all peoples.'
—Denis J. Halliday, UN Assistant Secretary-General 1994-98
'A constructive contribution to our understanding of what is going wrong and what can go right in the complex area of seed sovereignty.'
—Dervla Murphy, renowned travel writer and adventurer
'Keeping seed diversity alive is the secret ingredient, not just for the good, nutrient-dense food that every cook, gardener and farmer/producer needs, but for strengthening our resilience in the face of multiple environmental threats. This compelling and timely book helps us to understand what we are up against and how we can overcome it.'
— Darina Allen, internationally renowned cook, founder of Ballymaloe Cookery school and President of the East Cork Convivium of Slow Food
This book studies the relationship between globalisation and seed sovereignty in Sub-Saharan Africa. It provides comparative case studies of the most recent Kenyan and Ethiopian seed laws, as well as a study of seed sovereignty 'on the ground' in a locality within Ethiopia. Based on extensive fieldwork, it identifies the interests and motivations of transnational seed corporations, global philanthropic organisations, state actors, and local farmers. It finds significant differences in the wording of seed laws and the exercise of seed sovereignty, applying theories of globalisation to help us better understand these varied outcomes. It shows that seed sovereignty has the potential to be shared between local, national, regional, and global authorities, but in different ways in different countries and localities. In the face of what might sometimes appear to be unstoppable global forces, these findings suggest that the exercise of seed sovereignty can be transformed even in a highly globalised world.

Описание: This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as globalising agents, providing many of the materials and institutional means for world economic and technical integration. Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches and topics across different regions, transcending nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer, tropical science, energy production, large technological projects, technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.
