Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

First Published in 1986. It was in 1981 that the joint sub-committee ‘minerals and metals’ set up in the framework of EEC-Canadian cooperation decided to launch a publication which would provide an overall view of the progress achieved at international level in the field of research into asbestos. In the Directory as it had emerged in previous editions the coverage was confined chiefly to health aspects. An attempt has therefore been made to extend the scope of this publication to cover technology and asbestos substitutes. It is the result of a survey comprising over 2000 research centres or individual researchers who will afterwards be regularly consulted as will the specialists who have been identified in the meantime. Future updates will probably be on an annual basis. | Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

The rapid development and the growing penetration of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the ideas of participative democracy and public participation in government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and interaction of government organizations with citizens revitalizing and strengthening the modern representative democracy which currently faces big problems of reduced citizens’ trust and involvement. This book deals with the application of these e-participation ideas in the special and ‘difficult’ and at the same time highly interesting national context of Southern Europe and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain France Italy Slovenia Serbia Albania Greece Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the ‘classical’ e-participation paradigm based on official e-participation spaces created operated and controlled by government organizations as well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including e-participation based on web 2. 0 social media and ‘scientific-level’ e-participation based on opening government data to the scientific community. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies. | E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Originally published in 2004. In a radical breakaway from colonial and postcolonial policies that were based on centralized and revenue-orientated control of forests the government of India announced the Joint Forest Management (JFM) policy resolution in 1990. JFM promised important managerial concessions including share in cash profit from the timber harvest to forest citizens in exchange for management of state-owned forests. The government also asked the Forest Departments to invite village councils and NGOs to take part in the joint forest management schemes. Over a decade since its inception this volume examines the JFM highlighting how state bureaucracy local institutions and NGOs attempt to achieve the multiple goals of meeting subsistence needs rural equity sustainable forestry practices and forest cover conservation. Investigating four institutions - village-based forest protection groups the Forest Department village councils and NGOs - across the States of Jharkhand and West Bengal the book focuses on forest citizens and how they interact with other JFM institutions. In doing so it challenges notions of assumed virtues of moral economy and romanticized views of gender and indigenous knowledge and practices. The monograph also raises issues of social capital (local history politics and leadership) common property resource (CPR) management and incentives for participation. While pointing out various inconsistencies that exist in the participatory forest framework the book also shows the potential of JFM and suggests future directions forest management should take in India and elsewhere. | Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

After lives filled with deep suffering 74 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year on factory farms. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book two college students – a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian – discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over four days. The issues they cover include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain whether consumers are responsible for the practices of an industry how individual choices affect an industry whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all whether meat-eating is natural whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality whether morality protects those who are not members of society whether humans alone possess souls whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness why extreme animal welfare positions sound crazy and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two students go on to discuss the vegan life why people who accept the arguments in favor of veganism often fail to change their behavior and how vegans should interact with non-vegans. A foreword by Peter Singer introduces and provides context for the dialogues and a final annotated bibliography offers a list of sources related to the discussion. It offers abstracts of the most important books and articles related to the ethics of vegetarianism and veganism. Key Features: Thoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate. Dialogue format provides the most engaging way of introducing the issues. Written in clear conversational prose for a popular audience. Offers new insights into the psychology of our dietary choices and our responsibility for influencing others. | Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism
