Global Warming and the World Trading System

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 2006, a team led by the English economist Sir Nicholas Stern issued a striking report that analyzed the economic dimensions of global climate change and called for immediate collective action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This seminal report poses the critical question of how much emissions should be reduced within specific timeframes. To answer the challenge of finding a best-practices approach, Global Warming and the World Trading System looks at the economic aspects of GHG emissions and seeks a policy method to reduce them without adversely affecting global trade. The book begins with a survey of relevant data--such as emissions reports per sector--and evaluates current US climate policy options, focusing on the intricacies of specific Congressional bills. In this vein, this study examines whether the competitiveness provisions now under consideration are compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and explores the pragmatic opportunities the WTO… [detailed...]

Fred Pearce
Global Warning

2002 y.
Publisher: Дорлинг Киндерсли
Description: There is little doubt that the temperature of the Earth`s atmosphere is rising. The last decade was the warmest of the century. And the last century was the warmest of the millennium. As the evidence for global warming accumulates, so too does support for the theory that the underlying cause is our release of too many greenhouse gases. In this compelling book, Fred Pearce weighs up the evidence for global warming, examines its probable impact on our climate, landscapes and ecosystems, and sets out what we can do to prevent it. Essential Science guides use a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and expert, jargon-free text to explain the most important scientific topics of the day - more clearly than ever before.

Global Warring: Environmental Change and the Looming Economic, Political and Security Crisis

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Cold War was never this hot! We live in interesting times. The biggest western economic institutions are crumbling, what were once marginalized voices are now dominating international negotiations, and touchstone climate events, such as the monsoon, are failing. Everywhere you look economic, geopolitical and environmental assumptions are being shaken to the core. The world is changing. Fast. Global Warring examines these trends by combining insightful economic and political analysis with the most likely environmental change scenarios. It identifies problem areas that could start conflicts (access to water and resources in Asia), economic trends that are shifting the balance of power (China’s policy of nationalistic capitalism), and geopolitical realignments (the burgeoning strategic partnership between the United States and India). Award-winning writer and geopolitical expert Cleo Paskal makes sense of this overwhelming topic by dividing it into five sections: how seemingly… [detailed...]

Globalisation and Convergence: A Comparative Study of University Policy and Practice in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand, 1946-1996

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Globalisation has been a subject of intense debate in academic circles for decades. Despite the numerous publications on globalisation, it is found that few existing studies have incorporated proper conceptualisation of the phenomenon and methodology in their investigation of the subject. Furthermore, many studies have overlooked the global-national-local interaction and many made their claims without the support of empirical evidence. This book intends to fill some of these gaps by means of a cross-national historical study. By comparing and juxtaposing the changes in university objectives, provision, funding and regulation of four Asian national systems and four elite universities between 1946 and 1996, this book seeks to establish whether globalisation has reduced national variations and led to convergence in university policies and practices, and whether convergence is an inevitable outcome of globalisation. This book provides the much-needed empirical evidence to the highly… [detailed...]

Teresa Brennan
Globalisation and Its Terrors

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: It has long been realized that the poorer countries of the south have paid for the unstoppable onward rush of globalization in the exploitation of their natural and human resources. In this elegant, lucidly argued account, Teresa Brennan argues that the evidence already exists that globalization has for years been harming not just the poor of the third world but also its alleged beneficiaries in the affluent West. She shows how the speeding up of contemporary capitalism in which space is substituted for time means that neither then environment nor the people who live in it are given the opportunity to regenerate, leading directly to pollution-induced, immune-deficient and stress-related disease. In the final chapter she suggests some alternative ways forward through a return to regionally based production and an emphasis on local economies. Brennan`s clear writing and thought-provoking ideas are a must-read for reconsidering the process and consequences of globalization in… [detailed...]

Globalisation and the Viability of Industrial Districts: The Influence of Network Structures on the Adaptive Efficiency of Industrial Districts: A Comparison … of the Footwear Industry in Italy and the UK

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As increasingly diversified patterns of growth are emerging and different avenues are followed by industrial districts to face globalisation, more attention should be paid to industrial districts response to global competition. How global forces shape industrial districts in different ways? This research addresses the theme of the viability of industrial districts in dealing with dramatic changes in their competitive environment. By relying on a cross-national comparison and a mono-sectoral investigation of the footwear industry, this study attempts to shed the light on the formulae or recipes for both success and failure in two industrial districts - Montebelluna in Italy and Northampton in Britain. In particular, the interpretative lens provided should help to shed some light on the response of industrial districts to global competition, and should be especially valuable to scholars, managers, small firm owners, policy makers and anybody else who has an interest in globalisation and… [detailed...]

Globalisation for Sale

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Money has been an important part of modernity ever since it was exchanged for goods centuries ago. The evolution of systematically standardized monetized exchanges expedited trade between localities across space, standardized exchanges over time, and transformed work into wage labor. Money also generated the possibilities for specialization which were not possible under a system of barter, and solidified the emergence and development of the modern epoch. The contemporary changes in monetised exchanges, such as the electrification and globalization of monetary processes and financial markets, are unequivocal indicators of contemporary globalization. They are also some of the most important, and far-reaching, social changes of our time. Understanding and managing global financial flows and their impact of social spaces and people, is one of the most complex and difficult tasks facing politicians and social theorists today. Helping to meet the challenges posed by these changes, this… [detailed...]
