Abstract

Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise, Klimawandel, schwindende Ressourcen und der Raubbau an der Zukunft der kommenden Generationen bilden einen beispiellosen sozialen Sprengstoff. Die Analyse der sich auftürmenden Krisen zeigt, wie Demokratien dabei unter die Räder kommen, wenn sie nicht radikal erneuert werden und den Weg aus der Leitkultur der Verschwendung finden.

Abstract

Planetary Mine rethinks the politics and territoriality of resource extraction, especially as the mining industry becomes reorganized in the form of logistical networks, and East Asian economies emerge as the new pivot of the capitalist world-system. Through an exploration of the ways in which mines in the Atacama Desert of Chile-the driest in the world-have become intermingled with an expanding constellation of megacities, ports, banks, and factories across East Asia, the book rethinks uneven geographical development in the era of supply chain capitalism. Arguing that extraction entails much more than the mere spatiality of mine shafts and pits, Planetary Mine points towards the expanding webs of infrastructure, of labor, of finance, and of struggle, that drive resource-based industries in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

Walter Stahel est un pionnier de la notion d’économie circulaire. Architecte de formation, il prône depuis les années 1970 le retour à des modes de production permettant de prolonger la durée de vie des objets, nécessitant peu d’énergie et de ressources mais beaucoup de main d’œuvre. La plupart de ses livres, riches en exemples vertueux mais souvent écrits sur le ton de traités d’économie, ne sont pas faciles d’accès. Ce n’est pas le cas de cet ouvrage sorti en 2019. Il résume les principales recommandations de Stahel pour la mise en place d’une économie circulaire. Le livre s’adresse aux autorités publiques, aux industriels et, plus largement, à tous ceux qui souhaitent jouer un rôle dans cette transition vers des principes de circularité. A Circular Economy seeks to rebuild capital, whether this is financial, manufactured, human, social or natural, and offers opportunities and solutions for all organisations. This book, written by Walter Stahel, who is widely recognised as one of the key people who formulated the concept of the Circular Economy, is the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to quickly get up to speed with this vitally important topic for ensuring sustainable development. It sets out a new framework that refines the concept of a Circular Economy and how it can be applied at industrial levels. This concise book presents the key themes for busy managers and policymakers and some of the newest thinking on the topic of the Circular Economy from one of the leading thinkers in the field. Practical examples and case studies with real-life data are used to elucidate the ideas presented within the book.

Abstract

Abstract

Can education play a role in fostering economic growth and simultaneously decrease pressure on forests? The aim of this study is to show that it can. Human capital formation is a key element in a development strategy that includes natural resource conservation within the framework of sustained economic growth and poverty alleviation. Consequently, it is not by chance that Guatemala is experiencing both minimal per capital income growth and high deforestation while having one of the lowest educational levels in Latin America. However, since many assumptions about educational benefits are controversial and many aspects depend on broader issues, human capital formation can only be one piece in a multidimensional puzzle. This study is organized into three parts, each one of which can be read independently: first, a macroeconomic assessment of education and other factors involved in the country’s growth trajectory; second, a rural analysis indicating the root causes of deforestation and the role education can play to slow down habitat loss; third, the highlighting of some elements indispensable to reform and to subsequent improvement of the quality of rural schooling.

Abstract

La question de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles utilisées conjointement par de nombreux individus revêt une importance croissante pour les analystes politiques. Tant la nationalisation que la privatisation ont été mises en avant mais ni l'État ni le marché n'ont été uniformément en mesure de résoudre les problèmes liés aux ressources communes. Remettant en question les fondements de l'analyse politique telle qu'appliquée aux ressources naturelles, Elinor Ostrom fournit dans cet ouvrage un ensemble unique de données empiriques afin d'étudier les conditions dans lesquelles des problèmes de ressources communes ont été résolus, de manière satisfaisante ou non. L'auteur décrit d'abord les trois modèles les plus fréquemment utilisés en tant que fondements pour préconiser des solutions se basant sur l'État ou le marché. Elle passe ensuite en revue les alternatives théoriques et empiriques à ces modèles afin d'illustrer la diversité des solutions possibles. Dans les chapitres suivants, elle fait appel à l'analyse institutionnelle en vue d'examiner diverses stratégies - fructueuses ou infructueuses - de gouvernance des biens communs. Contrairement à ce qu'affirme l'argument de la « tragédie des biens communs », les problèmes de ressources communes peuvent être résolus par des organisations volontaires plus efficacement que par un État coercitif. Parmi les cas considérés figurent la tenure communale de prairies et de forêts, des communautés d'irrigation, des droits relatifs à l'eau ainsi que des sites de pêche. « Gouvernance des biens communs » apporte une contribution majeure à la littérature analytique et à notre conception de la coopération humaine
