Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

For as long as humans have been inhabiting coastal areas and recording what occurs in their environments coastal zones have been defined through dynamic interactions. And this is further underlined by a more recent development: observed sea level rise. In a thorough but not overly technical approach Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone: Law and Policy Considerations provides a legal-policy framework for facing the challenges of sea level rise. The book includes an analysis of sea level rise adaptation strategies that examines the legal impacts of coastal land use decisions based on the current interpretation of private property rights in relation to public control over those rights. The author discusses the science behind sea level rise and highlights policy complexities and options. He then presents an overview of related legalities and bringing it all together applies the principles offered in the book concluding with strategies and solutions and a perspective on the future. If we accept the premise that sea level rise is occurring and will continue for the foreseeable future then we must begin to consider policy responses to this risk in coastal regions. Part of any pragmatic policy response must include a review of the options available to public institutions when developing and implementing rational adaptation policies. This book offers practical legal/policy approaches to sea level rise adaptation that promotes sound planning in the face of climate change and rising seas. | Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

This book presents a cutting-edge assessment of NATO's collective defence strategies in the immediate aftermath of the July 2016 NATO Warsaw Summit. Collective defence and deterrence came back on the agenda at the 2014 Wales Summit following the Russian annexation of Crimea and was in many respects a game changer for NATO. The Warsaw Summit was a follow-up and operationalization of the Wales Summit as well as adding further initiatives to the agenda. But is NATO delivering? This book provides a thorough assessment of the on-going debates and discussions taking place within and outside of NATO in Europe and North America. In its return to deterrence NATO is confronted with challenges relating to strategic thinking capability development and the role of nuclear weapons. It has also raised questions about the future prospects for NATO membership for countries such as Sweden and Finland with broader implications for the security situation in the Baltic region. Central to all this is of course NATO’s relationship with Russia and questions of a new security dilemma in turning bringing to the fore the challenge of maintaining an appropriate balance between deterrence and dialogue. The chapters in this volume address these questions and provide a much-needed analysis of the results of the NATO Warsaw Summit. This book will be of interest to policymakers and students of NATO international security European Politics security studies and IR in general. | NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

The European Union and the Black Sea The State of Play

The European Union and the Black Sea The State of Play

The idea for this book is derived from the scantiness of academic references on the European Union’s policies towards the Black Sea relative to this region’s officially stated significance for the EU. Even though the EU plays a vital role in Black Sea political agendas the EU’s cooperation with the region is not extensively covered by academic discussions and literature. This is mostly due to the fact that the EU’s focus on foreign affairs is mainly associated with the Balkans as part the current and potential expansion and the Middle East as a direct consequence of the upheaval of the Arab Spring. The Black Sea region is crucially important for the EU because of the opportunities and challenges that the region presents both politically and socio-economically. Contributions to this book mostly focus on specific issues of EU–Black Sea cooperation from conflict to the environment to democracy and how these particular relationships are perceived within the region as well as through the lenses of stakeholders such as Russia Turkey and the USA. Overall the collection focuses on projecting a more efficient role and a holistic strategy for the EU in its approach towards the Black Sea region testifying to the need for a strong EU presence. For this reason the Black Sea area remains ‘the neighbourhood too close to yet still far from the European Union’. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies. | The European Union and the Black Sea The State of Play

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

During the nineteenth century British and American naval supremacy spanned the globe. The importance of transoceanic shipping and trade to the European-based empire and her rapidly expanding former colony ensured that the ocean became increasingly important to popular literary culture in both nations. This collection of ten essays by expert scholars in transatlantic British and American literatures interrogates the diverse meanings the ocean assumed for writers readers and thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic during this period of global exploration and colonial consolidation. The book’s introduction offers three critical lenses through which to read nineteenth-century Anglophone maritime literature: wet globalization which returns the ocean to our discourses of the global; salt aesthetics which considers how the sea influences artistic culture and aesthetic theory; and blue ecocriticism which poses an oceanic challenge to the narrowly terrestrial nature of green ecological criticism. The essays employ all three of these lenses to demonstrate the importance of the ocean for the changing shapes of nineteenth-century Anglophone culture and literature. Examining texts from Moby-Dick to the coral flower-books of Victorian Australia and from Wordsworth’s sea-poetry to the Arctic journals of Charles Francis Hall this book shows how important and how varied in meaning the ocean was to nineteenth-century Anglophone readers. Scholars of nineteenth-century globalization the history of aesthetics and the ecological importance of the ocean will find important scholarship in this volume. | The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Single-Case Methods in Clinical Psychology: A Practical Guide provides a concise and easily-accessible introduction to single-case research. This is a timely response to the increasing awareness of the need to look beyond randomised controlled trials for evidence to support best practice in applied psychology. The book covers the issues of design the reliability and validity of measurement and provides guidance on how to analyse single-case data using both visual and statistical methods. Single-case designs can be used to investigate an individual’s response to psychological intervention as well as to contribute to larger scale research projects. This book illuminates the common principles behind these uses. It describes how standardised measures can be used to evaluate change in an individual and how to develop idiographic measures that are tailored to the needs of an individual. The issue of replication and generalising beyond an individual are examined and the book also includes a section on the meta-analysis of single-case data. The critical evaluation of single-case research is examined from both the perspective of developing quality standards to evaluate research and maintaining a critical distance in reviewing one’s own work. Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology will provide invaluable guidance to postgraduate psychologists training to enter the professions of clinical health and counselling psychology and is likely to become a core text on many courses. It will also appeal to clinicians seeking to answer questions about the effectiveness of therapy in individual cases and who wish to use the method to further the evidence-base for specific psychological interventions. | Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Essays in Naval History from Medieval to Modern

Essays in Naval History from Medieval to Modern

The articles collected here (two appearing for the first time in English) cover a number of topics central to naval history and illustrate the author's contention that this is not only or even chiefly a distinct area of special study but rather a central theme running through the history of England and of the whole British Isles. Though the subjects and the styles vary a good deal the studies are linked by a common approach and some common ideas. Hence many examine ways in which naval history has formed a key element in such subjects as intellectual religious administrative or medical history and explored the nature and meaning of sea power as a theme. At the same time naval history is a technical subject which demands a willingness to understand warships - the most complex artefacts - and the structure of large and complex organisations. Detailed evidence about ships and weapons can build large conclusions for example about late Anglo-Saxon government and military organisation or about the nature of warfare at sea in the Renaissance era. While mostly written from the British point of view several essays explicitly survey naval developments over a range of countries and even the most narrowly focused are at least implicitly aware of the wider world of war at sea. | Essays in Naval History from Medieval to Modern

Woodfuel Markets in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Tanzania A Case Study of Tanzania

Woodfuel Markets in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Tanzania A Case Study of Tanzania

This title was first published in 2000: Woodfuels in developing countries particularly Africa remain a basic need for urban households who depend heavily on them for their energy needs. This work examines the confusion about the environmental and social impacts of woodfuel use and the structure of informal sector woodfuel markets. Using data from a year of survey field work in Tanzania the author questions assumptions of poorly functioning woodfuel markets and their impact on environment and society. Approaching the unregulated woodfuel markets as industrial organizations the author uses a classic structure previously applied to developed markets in industrialized countries to determine the competitiveness and efficiency of woodfuel markets. Results indicate well-functioning makets under most circumstances and the study details the variables which enhance market sustainability. The social and environmental implications of woodfuel use as it exists and suggestions to policymakers for improvements to enhance the sustainability of the system and the environment complete the study. The study should be useful for those interested in energy and environmental issues or informal markets (including agricultural markets) in developing countries and to those interested in industrial organization as applied to the Third World. | Woodfuel Markets in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Tanzania A Case Study of Tanzania
