Advancing East Asian Regionalism
Developments in East Asia have progressed rapidly in terms of regionalism since the 1997 crisis. The end of the Asian miracle called into question not only the capacity of regional states to meet the needs of their attendant peoples, but also challenged the viability of regional organizations, such as ASEAN, to adapt and respond to the changing circumstances. Advancing East Asian Regionalism looks at the ways in which ASEAN has expanded since the crisis, and evaluates the potential of East Asia to come together in a regional formation - one capable of representing the region as a whole - akin to the European Community. It draws upon the knowledge and perspectives of academics and policy makers actively engaged in the contradictory issues of regionalism. Coupling case study material on regionalism, institutions, and sectoral cooperation, with theoretical debates on regionalization, this book is an invaluable resource that pushes our understanding of East Asian regionalism forward.

Between Two Waters
'I laughed and cried a little, reading the book with Pam’s voice in my head. A true inspiration on every level as a memoir and, as only Pam can, tells us all what we need to do' - ANGELA HARTNETT OBE A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR When world-class chef Pam first opened Inver, her restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, she set out to discover what makes ‘modern Scottish food’ – or if it even existed. This book traces Pam’s journey to answer that question and in doing so reveals what we can all gather from our culinary heritage. Part memoir, part manifesto on the future of feeding the world and a feminist critique of the food business, it documents the difficult early days of her...
Wild Politics
Synthesising issues that are at the forefront of local and global politics and social movements of the twenty-first century, this book presents a powerful critique of global western culture, challenging many of its central assumptions and institutions. Hawthorne's detailed analysis is both perceptive and wide-ranging. She unpicks the structures of power and knowledge, law and international trade rules, as well probing into issues that intimately affect us in our daily lives, such as our perception of land, how food is produced and the changing shape of work. The book concludes with a compelling vision for a world inspired by biodiversity, and organised around the principle of diversity.
Enacting Environmental Justice through Global Citizenship
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. This volume’s interdisciplinary research is based on the premise that we live an unsustainable global lifestyle. Finding ways to better inhabit our world is a challenge not only for scientists but also for civil society. One means of achieving sustainability is through promoting Environmental Justice. This volume contains both theoretical and case study analyses that propose methods for achieving and managing global environmental justice. Creating such an environmental equilibrium is a difficult goal, but the tools for reaching it simultaneously respond to many other challenging questions of the contemporary world. The ideal of just, sustainable development can induce efforts for solving inequity problems across many sectors.

Pensar a contracorriente XVIII
Diez ensayos que abordan temas actuales y de urgente solución como las guerras (incluidas las falazmente llamadas "preventivas"); el terrorismo, en sus facetas tradicionales y más modernas (terrorismo mediático); el conflicto colombiano en toda su amplitud (injerencia yanqui, paramilitarismo, guerrillas, narcotráfico, represión social); el bloqueo imperialista a Cuba, que en sus excesos llega al extremo de atacar algo tan altruista (sobre todo en los momentos que vive el mundo), como la colaboración médica internacionalista cubana; y la destrucción perenne e indiscriminada del medio ambiente, son abordados por los autores, procedentes de varios países latinoamericanos. No podía faltar el tema neurálgico de ahora mismo, la pandemia de covid-19, y dentro de esta un tema tan sensible y polémico como la educación. Un encuentro con esa verdad ausente de los medios de comunicación hegemónicos.
