It has further identified potentials to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerabilities of various supply systems to climate change impacts. Analysis of institutions and governance structures, a core approach to analyzing the problems in multiple focus fields of the project, was carried out in various sectors, namely, transport, lifestyles, food provision, citizens participation, urban and peri-urban land use and provision of energy and water. This paper summarizes the core concepts of the project, reports its main scientific and practical results and draws lessons from obstacles encountered. The authors further analyze the key findings for policy interventions and conclude by recommending prospective actions for climate change adaptation and mitigation in Hyderabad. ····· 10361173070

This paper presents an extensive theoretical literature review as a starting point for profound scienti c research on the interrelation between collective modes of stakeholder participation and decision-making with sustainable outcomes. On the basis of literature in the elds of participatory governance, collective action theory and diverse sustainability approaches, the paper develops a research matrix with various sub-variables. In addition, the paper reviews the actor-centred institutionalist approach of Fritz Scharpf and Renate Mayntz and system theoretic approaches of David Easton and Gabriel Almond, which are then mutuallyused for designing a theoretical framework linking collective participation and decisionmaking with sustainable outcomes. The paper concludes by suggesting an application of the elaborated framework and research matrix to empirical studies. ····· 10361173068

A further implication is to clarify how present theories help to understand factors inhibiting or enabling responsible environmental behaviour and to provide knowledge on communication campaigns and strategy design. The key ndings indicate that theory on individual behaviour change from psychology and social studies is vast, however strategy designers of environmental campaigns do notmake su cient use of it and often develop programmes based on simplistic knowledgeattitude-practice models. On the other hand, literature on external factors determining environmental behaviour is not as advanced, besides the fact that a change of situational terms and conditions is postulated to yield great results. In general, individual and contextual factors need to be addressed to bring about the desired behaviour change, which has been considered in the strategy design of the Solar powered Schools for Hyderabad project. ····· 10361173017

However, the clustering observed among nations with respect to their economic development levels results in two distinct blocks developed (North) and developing (South). Interaction of these blocks and their local actions affect the global sustainability, as they are two interrelated actors in a closed system, namely the world. In this study, population, economic growth, welfare gap, energy supply and related pollution are identified as the key issues related to both global sustainability. These issues are analyzed in a systems perspective, focusing on their systemic, inseparable nature. A dynamic feedback model is constructed in order to simulate the long-term dynamics for key variables related to the above issues. The results obtained from a set of scenarios clearly demonstrate the fact that the obstacles that would be encountered by North and South will be quite different in nature and magnitude. ····· 10361147400

A lot of authors have written about this new phenomenon. One of the most visible forms of this phenomenon has been the emergence of third world volunteer-tourism programmes, which seek to combine the hedonism of tourism with the altruism of development work. Such programmes make the practice of international development doable, knowable and accessible to young travellers. Unfortunately most of the writers have been focusing on the North-South Exchange meaning volunteers from Europe, United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand travelling to Africa, South East Asia, and Latin America, the Caribbean and the rest of the developing world to promote development as well as international understanding through voluntary services. This book focuses on the South- North exchange which has been neglected since time immemorial.

The qualitative and quantitative analysis shows that the overall impact of aid has been limited in promoting economic growth, improving people s living standards, and achieving peace. Moreover, these aid flows helped in creating structural dependency rather than sustainable development, due to its failure to supplement local resources to enhance savings and investments, increase productivity, and decrease unemployment. Rather, it increased public and private consumption and reacted according to the severity of the political, economic, and humanitarian conditions. Thus, growth and poverty rates did not improve as a result of pouring more aid into the Palestinian war-torn economy. Furthermore, due to the particularity of the Palestinian case within the dilemma of aid-under-occupation and asymmetric containment, and the failure of aid for peace approaches, this book suggests pursuing a new approach based on the larger freedom concepts and the inclusion of non-distorting relief aid to the development process, which incorporates the national concepts of emancipatory human rights. ····· 10361147222

But, in the empirical literature, there is little agreement in its effect on a number of policy goals. Accordingly, this study aims at evaluating the effects of fiscal decentralization on social services access in Ethiopia, which undertook a massive shift of fiscal resources to regions in 1994 and to districts in 2002. The results suggest that although the decentralization has been characterized by some kind of vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances, it has had significant effects on primary gross enrollment rate, childhood immunization and infant mortality rate. Moreover, the policy has achieved a satisfactory equity in terms of both equality of opportunity and inter-regional equity by reducing disparity in access to social services between previously underserved and better-off regions, suggesting that fiscal decentralization has been a pro-poor policy. Thus, the study urges policy makers and development agencies to close the existing fiscal gaps, possibly via fiscal equalization approach, for better social service access at the grassroots level ····· 10361147046

Over the decades, the Zabaleen waste (garbage) collectors of Cairo, have created what is arguably one of the world s most efficient and sustainable resource-recovery and waste-recycling systems. Yet the continuation of this intricate relationship between community, environment and livelihood is jeopardised by the official privatisation of solid waste services through contracts with technology-intensive multinational corporations which threatens the sustainability of the garbage collectors communities. This situation was aggravated by recent official measures during the swine flu pandemic, which were mainly directed towards the Zabaleen s pigs rearing and waste recycling economy. In addition the authorities plan to move the Zabaleen activities further out of the city, claiming that this will turn their neighbourhoods into cleaner living environments. ····· 10361146849

Hence, different empirical studies have been conducted to estimate these benefits even if it is rare to find a tariff pass-through which estimates the direct effects of tariff reductions at the border on domestic prices whereby determine the welfare impact on poor households for countries like Ethiopia. Thus, this study situates itself in this category that it estimates the tariff pass-through for six products by employing a competitive pass-through model to verify whether both the tariff and geographical pass-through are significant enough to affect the welfare of households in Ethiopia. The contribution of the study is therefore thriving to the theory of trade liberalization. The results of the model reveal insignificant coefficients which necessitate further analysis and scrutiny which is made in the discussion and explanation part of the study. The study therefore helps policy makers, researchers, trade economists and government advisors to consider a multiple of factors and undertake detail analysis before trade reforms. ····· 10361146492

As the use of the term `sexual harassment` proves inadequate in describing actual relationships occurring in schools, the goal here is to uncover more accurate descriptions, causes, motivations behind and consequences of individual actors acceptance (either willful or via coercion) or refusal of engaging in these relationships. With poverty and development disparities as motivating factors, sex between teachers and students emerges as a transactional process: a direct exchange of sex for money and/or grades. Many relationships in schools are perceived as consensual, although poverty induced, and involve complex levels of silent or overt parental encouragement and societal acceptance. By more explicitly describing the complexities of these sexual relationships, researchers, NGOs and the Beninese government can more successfully address the phenomenon and its impact on girls education. ····· 10361146400

El pensar en el territorio, en lo local, ésto no entra en contradicción con la creciente internacionalización de los mercados y el avance de las tecnologías y los medios de transporte, que si bien son factores que hacen más complejos los territorios, los nutren y transforman. Las reflexiones están soportadas sobre dos ideas fundamentales: primero, el desarrollo debe conducir a una situación de Buen Vivir para las poblaciones, y en ese sentido es fundamental pensar el desarrollo desde la gente y su entorno tecnológico y natural segundo, dado que el desarrollo es un proceso que debe planificarse con y para la gente, la gobernanza local cobra un papel fundamental ante las necesidades que tienen hoy en día las comunidades de construir procesos autónomos de desarrollo, que generen mejoras reales sobre la calidad de vida, del planeta y la sustentabilidad de la vida humana. ····· 10361137410

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Since 1990s the provision of Microfinance services through NGOs has gained ground in international development discourse for ameliorating the plight of poor men and women in developing countries. Critical in this discussion are the issues of efficacy of NGOs` interventions in the face of cultural norms and values of the society and the political and economic circumstances in which poverty alleviation programmes are run in a society. This book is an attempt to critically analyse these issues in the context of Pakistani society. Our analysis reveals issues at four level that are not working towards the desired goal: the paradigm shift within microfinance industry, the government`s lack of will and capacity to initiate pro-poor and pro-women changes for their socio-economic development, the donor community`s laxity in rigorously pursuing what they purport about microfinance and normative structures at grass-roots level. The books should be helpful for students and readers of development studies, especially those wishing to understand and analyse complexities around the notion of women`s empowerment through poverty alleviation programmes. ····· 10361136065

As a result many countries have implemented a decentralization policy to provide effective public service delivery and local self-rule. Most developing countries engaged decentralization policy as part of development strategy. To assess actual implementation, a study were conducted at district level in Ethiopia. The findings showed that decentralization at district level remains challenging by lots of problems and a top down hierarchical relationship between sector offices and service units.

Since 1989 one quarter of armed conflicts are unresolved and half of modern conflicts return to war in five years. I argue the failure to sustain peace is a result of current liberal peace building paradigms. If peace is the process of achieving collective and individual freedom from structural violence, I argue foreign aid must use human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights (ESC). Using the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and precedents set by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural rights I analyze the human rights impact of the practices of the United States Agency for International Development and the United Nations Development Programme. The past two decades of aid to the OPT reflects liberal paradigms of aid for peace and the prioritization of civil and political rights. By showing that ESC rights are justiciable obligations that can be applied to the practice of peace building, I am expanding the notion of liberalism to include ESC rights frameworks, so that peace building can address (in)securities avoided by liberal peace practices. ····· 10361135701

The author interviewed prominent experts in the field in Egypt and reviewed relevant literature. For the empirical part of the study, ten Egyptian Development NGOs were thoroughly studied. Although Egyptian NGOs exist and operate in an environment constrained by bureaucratic siege and security surveillance, they are blazing a trial in creating new dimensions of civil activism through changing people`s perception from waiting for solutions for problems they barely consider theirs, to feeling empowered by owning the problems and solutions.
