Why do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining? This book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance. The author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.
Forest fragmentation will inevitably continue over the coming years, especially in developing economies. This book provides a cutting edge review of the multi-disciplinary sciences related to studies of global forest fragmentation. It specifically addresses cross-cutting themes from both an ecological and a social sciences perspective. The ultimate goal of Global Forest Fragmentation is to provide a detailed scientific base to support future forest landscape management and planning to meet global environmental and societal needs.
Jan-Arne kriegt Besuch. Von Liane. Die hat er letzten Sommer an der Ostsee kennen gelernt, als er King-Kong, sein Meerschweinchen-Weibchen, verstecken musste. Meerschweinchen waren auf dem Campingplatz nämlich nicht erlaubt. Jetzt hat Liane selbst ein Meerschweinchen. Das heißt Mucki und ist ein Männchen. Natürlich dürfen sie die beiden nicht zusammenlassen. Sonst kriegt King-Kong nachher Junge. Und ein Meerschweinchen in der kleinen Wohnung ist wirklich genug! Die Lesestarter von Oetinger motivieren auch leseschwache Kinder zum Lesen. Wie? Mit bekannten Autoren, starken Charakteren und populären Themen, die Kinder im Alter von fünf bis zehn Jahren begeistern.
