Green Lawfare - The Strategic Use Of Law In Mediatized Environmental Conflict

by Claire Konkes

~~46,05€~~ 41,45€ 10% OFF

 As environmental law continues to evolve at local and global levels, who are the actors informing its development and how are they engaging with news and other media to define what is possible? Observing the interlocking activities of journalists, activists, lawyers, scientists, government and industry can reveal the enactment of environmental law as part of a much wider struggle to bring visibility to and action on environmental issues. Interdisciplinary in approach and bringing together key concepts from media and communication studies and environmental jurisprudence, Green Lawfare provides a conceptual framework from which to identify and analyze how news and other media contribute to our expectations and hopes for the role of law during environmental conflict.

The Ethics Of Sustainable Communication - Overcoming The World Of Opposites

by Ulrika Olausson

39,33€ + 10% CARD

 A well-functioning communication is a prerequisite for achieving sustainability. But how could this be accomplished in a world plagued by grave sustainability crises, where polarization proliferates and adds to a profound experience of fear and separation? To answer this critical question, an integrated ethical system that acknowledges all life as one is needed. The Ethics of Sustainable Communication elegantly interweaves theoretical and empirical knowledge from the social sciences with wisdom traditions from various parts of the world. This includes the worlds great religions, the knowledge of indigenous peoples, and the transcendent understanding of reality that artists of diverse kinds have always expressed. On this solid ground, the book argues for the necessity of a significant shift in human consciousness to achieve lasting sustainability. The book develops a communication ethics that aims at facilitating a genuine experience of the interconnectedness of all life through the expansion of trust. In a pioneering, intelligent, and eye-opening argument, including practical examples and advice, it demonstrates how the experience of separation in fact is a delusion. Our systems of thought and language have simply fettered us in a world of opposites duality. The ethics helps us to overcome this illusory world, and when duality is dissolved, deep sustainability caring for people, the Earth, and every lifeform comes as an entirely effortless result.

The Mediation Of Financial Crises - Watchdogs, Lapdogs Or Canaries In The Coal Mine?

by Sophie Knowles

39,90€ + 10% CARD

 In 2007-8 the world economy started its heady journey to recession. The Queen herself asked "why didnt we see this coming," but its a question that remains unanswered. A decade later and it is still not clear exactly who is responsible for the crisis. The world has experienced the long-term impact of austerity policies on its welfare system and the political landscape is completely changed. This analysis of the media that reported on this crisis and where it came from is long overdue. The media were responsible for warning the publica role they failed in. This book provides evidence that journalists, like bankers and regulators, need to be held accountable. The Global Financial Crisis is a starting point, but it deserves a much wider context and explanation, one this book provides for the first time. Looking at three global and pivotal financial crises, this book assesses the degree to which financial and economics journalists have played a watchdog role for society. It takes a long glance back from the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-8 to look at the (as it shows, gradually narrowing) content we have been reading in mainstream publications, and speaks to journalists in three countries to gauge the reality of the situation from the perspective of the newsroom.

Patents, Pills, And The Press - The Rise And Fall Of The Global Hiv/Aids Medicines Crisis In The News

by Thomas Owen

109,29€ + 10% CARD

 HIV/AIDS is a global health crisis of unprecedented proportions. Afflicting millions worldwide, its social, political, economic, and ethical dimensions have rendered explicit the vast inequalities of our «negatively globalized planet». Since the late 1990s, a major feature of the crisis has been the dispute over intellectual property protection and medicines access. In this book, Thomas Owen examines the mediatization of this dispute. Weaving together contemporary media theory and interdisciplinary research with computer-assisted news analysis and interviews with journalists and civil society campaigners, the book illuminates the intersecting constitutive relationships between global crises, global governance, and global media. In a context of changing media technologies, logics, and practices, this book observes where the mediatized conflict surrounding global medicines access has at times consolidated elite political economic power, and at other times provided civil society campaigners their greatest opportunities for global social change. With an interdisciplinary approach, this book is suitable for courses on global media communication and global journalism, as well as advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in public health communication, political communication, social movement studies, and international relations.
