Handbook of Translocal Development and Global Mobilities
This timely Handbook demonstrates that global linkages, flows and circulations merit a more central place in theorization about development. Calling for a mobilities turn, it challenges the sedentarist assumptions which still underlie much policy making and planning for the future.
Addressing irregular migration through principled programmatic approaches: Examining the West Africa route and WFP operations
This is a joint IFPRI-WFP study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context. By taking a route-based approach to irregular migration in West Africa, the study examined migrants’ origins, their transit experience, and the situation where their journey stalls or ends. Drawing on a mixed methods approach the study includes case studies in Mali and Libya, representing an analysis of the migration route of the Ténéré desert crossing of the south-central Sahara. The overall analysis features the profiles of irregular migrants and the primary factors influencing their migration decisions. It also examines links between food insecurity and irregular migration to understand the risks and address the needs of this increasingly vulnerable population.
Potato Biology and Biotechnology
In the past 15-20 years major discoveries have been concluded on potato biology and biotechnology. Important new tools have been developed in the area of molecular genetics, and our understanding of potato physiology has been revolutionized due to amenability of the potato to genetic transformation. This technology has impacted our understanding of the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interaction and has also opened new opportunities for the use of the potato in a variety of non-food biotechnological purposes. This book covers the potato world market as it expands further into the new millennium. Authors stress the overriding need for stable yields to eliminate human hunger and poverty, whi...
The Palgrave Handbook of Religion, Peacebuilding, and Development in Africa
This Handbook explores the ways in which religion among the African people has been applied in situations of conflict and violence to contribute to sustainable peace and development. It analyzes how peacebuilding inspired and enabled by religion serves as the foundation for sustainable development in Africa, while also acknowledging that religion can also be a tool of destruction, and can be used to fuel violence and underdevelopment. Contributors to this volume offer theoretical discussions from existing literature, as well as experiences of practitioners, to deepen the readers’ understanding on the role of religion and religious institutions in peacebuilding and development in Africa. The Handbook provides reflections on possible future developments as well, thereby aligning with the goals of SDG 16.
Global Trends in Governance and Policy Paradigms
Major paradigm shifts are occurring at rates that are difficult to keep up with, such as a rise in neoliberal paradigm trends, the emergence of new paradigms in response to global challenges, the role of international organizations in promoting new policy paradigms, and the challenges of implementing new policy paradigms in different national contexts. To remain informed, a reference of these shifts is needed. Global Trends in Governance and Policy Paradigms dissects the intricate fabric of global governance through the lens of evolving policy paradigms. This book explores key themes that have shaped and continue to influence the trajectory of global policy and contemporary governance. The n...
Le scienze e l’Antropocene
Il terzo numero della serie degli Annali del Centro Internazionale di Scienze Semiotiche di Urbino (CiSS) riunisce gli interventi del seminario del 2022 organizzato dal centro e dedicato a “Le scienze e l’Antropocene”. Questo volume raccoglie una serie di contributi che, attraverso una lente interdisciplinare, esplorano le sfide e le implicazioni di questa presunta nuova era geologica. Al suo interno verranno affrontate diverse questioni pressanti, come la legittimità di considerare l’Antropocene un’epoca geologica, la relazione tra fenomeni migratori e cambiamenti climatici, la concezione della natura adottata dalla civiltà occidentale e il difficile tentativo di integrare le differenti prospettive delle scienze naturali e sociali. Nonostante la varietà dei punti di vista presentati, tutti i contributi invitano i lettori ad approfondire la comprensione dell’Antropocene, a riflettere sul nostro ruolo come agenti del cambiamento geologico e a esplorare nuove vie per un futuro sostenibile e in armonia con il nostro pianeta.
Climate Change and Global Crop Productivity
Annotation. Worldwide climatic changes have been raising concerns about potential changes to crop yields and production systems. Such concerns include the ability to accommodate these uncertain effects in order to ensure an adequate food supply for an increasing population. Written by leadinginternational experts, this book is the first comprehensive examination of the potential effects climate change, particularly green house gases, will have on agroecosystems. It also reviews the effects such systems have on climate change itself.
