Collaboration and Multi-Stakeholder Engagement in Landscape Governance and Management in Africa
The severity of interconnected socio-economic and environmental impacts on landscapes and people across Africa are exacerbated as a result of land degradation, conflict, poor governance, competition for land and inequality, and exacerbated by climate change. In pursuing pathways towards a more resilient future, collaborative and multi-stakeholder governance and management of landscapes have been promoted by government agencies, NGOs and conservation organisations as a possible solution. However, there is no single way to achieve effective collaboration, and different landscape projects have experimented with different entry points and engagement processes. Grounded in partnerships amongst researchers, practitioners and development partners with expertise in landscape governance and management in Africa, this book describes and collates key lessons from practice for supporting more resilient and equitable landscapes.
The Business of Social and Environmental Innovation
In the face of limited progress toward meeting Millennium Development Goals or addressing climate change and resource degradation, increasing attention turns to harnessing the entrepreneurial, innovative, managerial and financial capacities of business for improved social and environmental outcomes. A more proactive role for business in sustainable development is especially pertinent in sub-Saharan Africa, which has been plagued by conflict and poverty but shows signs of a brighter future as the world’s second-fastest-growing region. The book considers how the socio-economic context influences the objectives of social innovation and even our definition of what we mean by social innovation. Secondly, the book aims to show how social innovation initiatives emerge and fare in context of the limited ability of many African countries to provide public goods and services.

Business and Climate Change Governance

The Oxford Handbook of Governance and Limited Statehood
Unpacking the major debates, this Oxford Handbook brings together leading authors of the field to provide a state-of-the-art guide to governance in areas of limited statehood where state authorities lack the capacity to implement and enforce central decision and/or to uphold the monopoly over the means of violence. While areas of limited statehood can be found everywhere - not just in the global South -, they are neither ungoverned nor ungovernable. Rather, a variety of actors maintain public order and safety, as well as provide public goods and services. While external state 'governors' and their interventions in the global South have received special scholarly attention, various non-state ...

Administração pública e privada: novas tendências e perspectivas 4
A administração pública e privada são dois campos distintos que possuem características e objetivos próprios. Enquanto a administração pública visa o atendimento das demandas da sociedade, preservação dos direitos e o bem-estar coletivo, a administração privada tem como principal objetivo a maximização dos lucros para os acionistas, proprietários da empresa e responder a necessidades e desejos dos clientes. No entanto, apesar das diferenças entre elas, é possível identificar alguns pontos de convergência, ambas precisam ser eficientes na gestão dos recursos disponíveis, desenvolver estratégias para alcançar seus objetivos e tomar decisões que levem em conta o impacto...
Der Einsatz von Steuerungsinstrumenten im Umweltschutz in Deutschland, Südafrika, der Volksrepublik China und Saudi Arabien im Vergleich
Marius Melzer (geb. 1985) hat erforscht, mit welchen Steuerungsinstrumenten Deutschland, Sudafrika, die Volksrepublik China und Sudafrika im Umweltschutz agieren. Das Kernergebnis der Untersuchung ist, dass nur in Deutschland alle Steuerungsinstrumente (Hierarchie, okonomische Anreize, Kooperation und Information) umfassend zum Umweltschutz eingesetzt werden. In den anderen untersuchten Staaten fuhren das Fehlen der Demokratie sowie eines materiell hohen Wohlstandsniveaus zu einer geringeren Nutzung der okonomischen Anreize, dazu bieten die untersuchten Autokratien kaum Partizipationsmoglichkeiten fur die Zivilgesellschaft. Dadurch erhalt die Verwaltung weniger Informationen und fur die umweltbelastenden Unternehmen bestehen geringere Motivationen in den Umweltschutz zu investieren als in Deutschland.
