Water Diplomacy in Action: Contingent Approaches to Managing Complex Water Problems By Shafiqul Islam; Kaveh Madani
2017 | 450 Pages | ISBN: 1783084901 | EPUB | 7 MB
Today we face an incredibly complex array of interconnected water issues that cross multiple boundaries: Is water a property or a human right? How do we prioritize between economic utility and environmental sustainability? Do fish have more rights to water than irrigated grain? Can we reconcile competing cultural and religious values associated with water? How much water do people actually need? These questions share two key defining characteristics: (a) competing values, interests and information to frame the problem; and (b) differing views - of how to resolve a problem - are related more to uncertainty and ambiguity of perception than accuracy of scientific information.These problems - known as complex problems - are ill-defined, ambiguous, and often associated with strong moral, political and professional values and issues. For complex water problems, certainty of solutions and degree of consensus varies widely. In fact, there is often little consensus about what the problem is, let alone how to resolve it. Furthermore, complex problems are constantly changing because of interactions among the natural, societal and political forces involved. The nature of complexity is contingent on a variety of contextual characteristics of the interactions among variables, processes, actors, and institutions. Understanding interactions and feedback loops between and within human and natural systems is critical for managing complex water problems. [NP] This edited volume synthesizes insights from theory and practice to address complex water problems through contingent and adaptive management using water diplomacy framework (WDF). This emerging framework diagnoses water problems, identifies intervention points, and proposes sustainable solutions that are sensitive to diverse viewpoints and uncertainty as well as changing and competing needs. The WDF actively seeks value-creation opportunities by blending science, policy, and politics through a contingent negotiated approach.

Faiello allegedly buried her corpse beneath a concrete slab at his Newark, New Jersey home--and went on the run.

Costas Panayotakis, "The capitalist mode of destruction: Austerity, ecological crisis and the hollowing out of democracy "
English | ISBN: 1526144506 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book interprets contemporary capitalism's economic, ecological and democratic crises as manifestations of a previously unrecognized contradiction: over time the benefits from capitalism's technological dynamism tend to decline even as its threats for humanity and the planet escalate. To explain this contradiction, Panayotakis rethinks the production and distribution of surplus in capitalist societies. Identifying the public sector and households as sites of surplus production as important as the capitalist workplace, this book attributes capitalism's increasing destructiveness to working people's lack of control over the surplus they produce. Only a classless society, in which working people democratically control the surplus, can reverse our current trajectory. Identifying such a democratic classless society as the essence of the communist ideal, The capitalist mode of destruction shows this ideal to be as relevant as ever.

The Triumph of Politics was Stockman's frontline report of the miscalculations, manipulations, and political intrigues that led to its failure. A major publishing event and New York Times bestseller in its day, The Triumph of Politics is still startling relevant to the conduct of Washington politics today.
