 Free Download Climate Migration and Security: Securitisation as a Strategy in Climate Change Politics (Environmental Politics) By Ingrid Boas 2015 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 1138811513 | PDF | 3 MB Climate migration, as an image of people moving due to sea-level rise and increased drought, has been presented as one of the main security risks of global warming. The rationale is that climate change will cause mass movements of climate refugees, causing tensions and even violent conflict. Through the lens of climate change politics and securitisation theory, Ingrid Boas examines how and why climate migration has been presented in terms of security and reviews the political consequences of such framing exercises. This study is done through a macro-micro analysis and concentrates on the period of the early 2000s until the end of September 2014. The macro-level analysis provides an overview of the coalitions of states that favour or oppose security framings on climate migration. It shows how European states and the Small Island States have been key actors to present climate migration as a matter of security, while the emerging developing countries have actively opposed such a framing. The book argues that much of the division between these states alliances can be traced back to climate change politics. As a next step, the book delves into UK-India interactions to provide an in-depth analysis of these security framings and their connection with climate change politics. This micro-level analysis demonstrates how the UK has strategically used security framings on climate migration to persuade India to commit to binding targets to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The book examines how and why such a strategy has emerged, and most importantly, to what extent it has been successful. Climate Migration and Security is the first book of its kind to examine the strategic usage of security arguments on climate migration as a political tool in climate change politics. Original theoretical, empirical, and policy-related insights will provide students, scholars, and policy makers with the necessary tools to review the effectiveness of these framing strategies for the purpose of climate change diplomacy and delve into the wider implications of these framing strategies for the governance of climate change.

Free Download City-Logistik als kooperatives Güterverkehrs-Management By Martin Kaupp (auth.) 1998 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 3824466635 | PDF | 9 MB Das effektive und effiziente Management des Güterverkehrs in Städten und Ballungsräumen gewinnt aus ökonomischen und aus ökologischen Gründen an Bedeutung. Konzepte der City-Logistik, die durch eine unternehmensübergreifende Leistungserstellung Konsolidierungspotentiale erschließen, setzen hier an. Martin Kaupp entwickelt ein Prozeß-Controlling-Konzept und eine simulationsgestützte Controlling-Applikation zur Unterstützung City-logistischer Managementaufgaben. Durch die Integration von Touren- und Routenplanungssystemen, Geographischen Informationssystemen, einem Kostenmodul sowie einem Modul zur Ermittlung von Emissionsmengen lassen sich Entscheidungen über umsetzbare Gestaltungsalternativen fundieren. Am Beispiel der Stadt Frankfurt am Main zeigt der Autor die Anwendung des Konzeptes auf. Der Autor hat für diese Arbeit von der Deutschen Verkehrswissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft e.

Free Download City, State: Constitutionalism and the Megacity By Ran Hirschl 2020 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 019092277X | PDF | 4 MB More than half of the world's population lives in cities; by 2050, it will be more than three quarters. Projections suggest that megacities of 50 million or even 100 million inhabitants will emerge by the end of the century, mostly in the Global South. This shift marks a major and unprecedented transformation of the organization of society, both spatially and geopolitically. Our constitutional institutions and imagination, however, have failed to keep pace with this new reality. Cities have remained virtually absent from constitutional law and constitutional thought, not to mention from comparative constitutional studies more generally. As the world is urbanizing at an extraordinary rate, this book argues, new thinking about constitutionalism and urbanization is desperately needed. In six chapters, the book considers the reasons for the "constitutional blind spot" concerning the metropolis, probes the constitutional relationship between states and (mega)cities worldwide, examines patterns of constitutional change and stalemate in city status, and aims to carve a new place for the city in constitutional thought, constitutional law and constitutional practice.

Free Download Cities of the Dead: Circum-Atlantic Performance By Joseph R. Roach 1996 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 0231104618 | PDF | 102 MB Artfully interweaving theatrical, musical, and ritual performance along the Atlantic rim from the eighteenth century to the present, Cities of the Dead explores a rich continuum of cultural exchange that imaginatively reinvents, re-creates, and restores history.Enriched with fifty-five illustrations, including spectacular photos of New Orleans's famed Mardi Gras Indians, Joseph Roach's work employs an entirely unique approach to the study of culture. Rather than focusing on one region, Cities of the Dead describes broad cultural connections over place and time, showing through myriad examples how performance can revise the unwritten past.Through illuminating discussions of social events ranging from burials to sacrifices, from auctions to parades, encompassing regional traditions as diverse as Haitian Voudon and British funerals, the book looks at the synchretic performance traditions of Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Exploring processes of substitution, or surrogation, as enacted in performance, Roach demonstrates the ways in which we fill the voids left by death and departure.Cities of the Dead proposes a new way to think about the relationship between history and memory as well as between document and performance. It details patterns of remembrance and forgetting, of communities forging their identities and imagining their futures.
