Extractive Bargains - Natural Resources And The State-Society Nexus

158,99€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book is the first to focus on state-led ‘extractive bargains,’ designed to reach a social consensus on the extent of extractive activities, how they should be governed and their negative consequences mitigated. These state-led ‘bargains’ have taken a number of different forms and offer varying degrees of promise in meeting environmental and social concerns. The book critically examines ‘bargains’ in states across the Global North and the Global South, incorporates Indigenous issues, and judiciously assesses their prospects for promoting long-term sustainability. It focusses on mineral and fossil fuel extraction in particular including bargains designed to govern the former as the demand for minerals used in "green energy" increases and to limit the use of the latter.</p><p></p>The book will be of interest to students and researchers of global studies, global political economy, political science, political sociology, sustainability, environmental sociology, development studies and geography. <div><br></div><div>Chapter 1 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.<br></div>

Inequality, Socio-Cultural Differentiation And Social Structures In Africa - Beyond Class

by Dieter Neubert

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 <p></p><p>This book contends that conventional class concepts are not able to adequately capture social inequality and socio-cultural differentiation in Africa. Earlier empirical findings concerning ethnicity, neo-traditional authorities, patron-client relations, lifestyles, gender, social networks, informal social security, and even the older debate on class in Africa, have provided evidence that class concepts do not apply; yet these findings have mostly been ignored.</p><p><br></p>For an analysis of the social structures and persisting extreme inequality in African societies - and in other societies of the world - we need to go beyond class, consider the empirical realities and provincialise our conventional theories. This book develops a new framework for the analysis of social structure based on empirical findings and more nuanced approaches, including livelihood analysis and intersectionality, and will be useful for students and scholars in African studies and development studies, sociology, social anthropology, political science and geography.<p></p><br><p></p>

Work And Play Of The Mind In The Information Age - Whose Property?

by Phillip Kalantzis-Cope

98,71€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book tells a series of living stories about a domain of social activity, "the work and play of the mind," in a particular historical epoch: the "information age." The stories concern political processes and movements as varied as the World Trade Organization’s Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, China’s Great Firewall, practices of image sharing in social media, Occupy Wall Street, The Arab Spring, The Alt-Right, and the use of geographical indications by indigenous peoples and farmers to defend their lifestyles.<br/></p><p>In its theoretical analysis, the book illuminates four alternative political agendas for the work and play of the mind. These four "propertyscapes" represent competing visions for social life, framing projects for collective political action that are at times competing, at times overlapping. The author prompts us to consider whose property is the work and play of the mind, as well as addressing larger questions regarding the framing of political space, the kinds of political communities we may need for the future, and the changing place of the work and play of the mind within these social imaginaries. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including media and communications, arts and design, law, politics and interdisciplinary social sciences.</p><div><br/></div><p></p>
