Sustainable Urban Design

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of&nbsp;Water-oriented Design (WoD)&nbsp;principles and practices in the Asian context, presenting an innovative approach to integrating sustainable water management with urban planning and design. It addresses the pressing challenges of urban water systems in high-density Asian cities, providing practical solutions for enhancing urban resilience, sustainability, and livability.
By focusing on the Asian context, the book offers region-specific strategies and case studies that are particularly relevant to rapidly developing urban areas facing water-related challenges. Spanning from theoretical foundations to practical applications, the book covers four key areas: Water for Cities, Water for Nature &amp; Ecology, Water for People, and Water for Comprehensive Urban Solutions. It provides in-depth analyses of successful WoD initiatives, including Sponge Cities in China, ABC Waters in Singapore, and Low Impact Development in the United States, offering valuable lessons for practitioners worldwide.

Water-oriented Design

As societies struggle to respond to the revival of private renting, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical account of the inequality at the heart of contemporary housing systems. Bringing together cutting-edge research and case studies from a host of countries - from the USA to Australia, from Spain to Germany - Michael Byrne examines inequality, financialization, the rise of 'generation landlord' and evictions. He analyses the everyday power dynamics between landlords and tenants and the social and economic structures that mean the ownership of residential property is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Moving beyond the kind of thinking that treats landlordism as natural and inevitable, Byrne's political economy framework demonstrates how declining homeownership and its consequences for inequality and housing justice are major political challenges for contemporary societies. At the same time, a new generation of tenant activism can point the way to fairer housing systems. A groundbreaking study, Beyond Generation Rent is crucial reading for housing researchers, policy-makers, activists and anyone who cares about decent housing for all.

Political Economy, Inequality, and the Private Rental Sector

Beyond Generation Rent

This book offers a thorough investigation of how Citizen Charters may be effective vehicles for improving accountability, transparency, and citizen engagement in local governance, focusing particularly on Bangladesh's experience&nbsp;within the broader South Asian context, highlighting how Citizen Charters may empower people and change local government responsiveness in developing nations. Structured across eight thematically interconnected chapters, the book starts with a solid conceptual and theoretical analysis of local government and accountability systems. It then compares implementation strategies in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan—finding insights and challenges that speak universally. It then moves on to investigate the history of Citizen Charters and the path of local government reform in Bangladesh, revealing the contextual reality, institutional constraints, and reform initiatives influencing service delivery.
The book offers insights into how Citizen Charters function in practice, what hinders their effectiveness, and how their potential might be tapped by drawing on actual case studies from Union Parishads—Bangladesh's lowest tier of rural local government. It is essential reading for scholars of public administration, governance, and development studies; legislators looking for evidence-based reform ideas; NGO workers focussing on civic involvement and accountability; and anyone curious about how grassroots tools such as Citizen Charters can support the inclusive and accountable government in the Global South.

Local Government Accountability in South Asia

The Arctic that emerged over the past forty years became one of the most innovative policy environments in the world. The region developed impressive systems for intra-regional cooperation, responded to the challenges of rapid environmental change, empowered and engaged with Indigenous peoples, and dealt with the multiple challenges of natural resource development. The second edition of The Palgrave Handbook on Arctic Policy and Politics draws on scholars from many countries and academic disciplines to focus on the central theme of Arctic policy innovation and political action. The portrait that emerges from these chapters is of a complex, fluid policy environment, shaped by internal, national and global dynamics and by a wide range of political, legal, economic, and social transitions. In this second edition, all chapters have been revised, updating the volume with the latest research and analysis especially on the changing geo-political situation since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the election of Donald Trump. New chapters explore post-secondary education and the future of work in the Circumpolar North.

The Arctic is a complex political place and is on the verge of becoming even more so due to Russian militarism, increasing Chinese engagement and the cascading effects of rapid climate change. Effective, proactive and forward-looking policy innovation will be required if the Far North is to address its challenges and capitalize on its opportunities. The Arctic has become, ironically, "hot" in political terms, presenting escalating challenges for Arctic peoples and nations seeking to respond to political agendas that increasingly emerge from outside the region.

Routledge Masters in Public Management

This concise textbook provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and implementing effective public-private partnerships in an era of complex policy challenges and resource constraints. Drawing on research and empirical evidence, it examines how cross-sector collaboration has evolved from traditional contracting relationships to strategic partnerships that create substantial public value.This book offers a systematic typology of partnership models, analytical tools for partnership evaluation, and practical strategies for collaborative leadership. It integrates theoretical foundations with actionable insights on partnership formation, governance structures, and performance management across diverse policy domains including healthcare, cities, and climate initiatives. Each chapter includes suggested reading and discussion questions.Designed primarily for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in public administration, public policy, and business management programmes, this volume also serves as an essential resource for public managers and policy practitioners.

Managing Public-Private Partnerships

Thema dieses Lehrbuches sind Zustandekommen und Auswirkung wirtschaftspolitischer Entscheidungen. Der erste Teil stellt die allokationstheoretischen Grundlagen dar, die bei der Diskussion von Wirtschaftspolitik nützlich sind. Zunächst werden mögliche Zielsetzungen staatlicher Wirtschaftspolitik diskutiert. Anschließend wird hinterfragt, wo die Grenzen staatlichen Wirtschaftens gezogen werden sollten. Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, warum in einer Demokratie bestimmte wirtschaftspolitische Entscheidungen getroffen werden. Es werden grundlegende formale Modelle demokratischer Entscheidungsprozesse dargestellt. Ein besonderes Gewicht dieser politisch-ökonomischen Analyse liegt auf Theorien, die das Zustandekommen oder das Scheitern von Reformen untersuchen. Außerdem werden theoretische Modelle der politischen Einflussnahme von Interessengruppen vorgestellt. Im dritten Teil geht es um Anwendungen der polit-ökonomischen Grundmodelle auf wichtige wirtschaftspolitische Entscheidungen. Das Buch ist als eigenständige Grundlage für eine Einführung in die Wirtschaftspolitik in einem anspruchsvollen Bachelorstudium gedacht. Es kann aber auch in Verbindung mit der Lektüre weiterführender Literatur als ein Ausgangspunkt für einen Kurs im Masterstudium genutzt werden.

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;
 
 Raluca Csernatoni is a Research Fellow at Carnegie Europe, where she works on the nexus between European defence and emerging technologies. She is also Guest Professor at the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS), Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and Visiting Faculty in the Department of International Relations, Central European University, Austria.

Building a Sustainable Political Economy: SPERI Research & Policy

Crisis has become a ubiquitous feature of contemporary life which is increasingly dominated by financial collapse, global pandemics, geopolitical upheavals, and climate breakdown. Too often, however, the contours, causes and consequences of crises are taken for granted. Adapted from the popular SPERI Presents... podcast series Crisis Point, this volume seeks to understand the role of crisis in the development and reproduction of capitalism. Each chapter is an interview with an expert political economy scholar, also weaving through the editors’ own analysis. By examining capitalism's historical crises, the volume makes sense of contemporary crisis dynamics from housing to populism to climate. Combining the theoretical and historical rigour of scholarly analysis with an accessible conversational style, the volume makes intelligible the structural drivers of crisis for scholars, students, activists and informed observers of global politics alike.

This Open Access volume sheds light on the economic role and true value of non-human animals in the global economy. Animals have been a pillar of human prosperity since the dawn of civilization. From early hunting and domestication to their roles in agriculture, science, transportation, war, and entertainment, animals have shaped our world. Today, their contributions span from providing food and energy to supporting ecosystem services like pollination and pest control.&nbsp;Despite their importance, animals remain overlooked in economic studies. This book addresses this gap, exploring the economic roles of animals, analyzing demographic trends, reassessing their true economic value—including their intrinsic worth and the full measure of their contributions and suffering—and proposing innovative ways to reflect this in economic decision-making. This comprehensive volume connects economics and other fields, applying research on the valuation of Nature to non-human animals.The book explores economic policy and regulatory policy solutions to help recognize animal agency and ecological interdependence, presenting examples of how more humane, animal-free systems can reduce inefficiencies, spark innovation, and enhance both ecological and economic resilience. It will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of economics and across other disciplines, as well as to policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the role of natural capital in economies, and specifically, the contributions of non-human animals to economic growth and stability.&nbsp;
 “
 This pioneering collection of essays
 &nbsp;raises an issue that economists have ignored for far too long: How are we to include non-human animals in economic evaluations of policies and practices? Fortunately, interest in this important question is now growing rapidly. The essays brought together in this volume sketch the outlines of a rich and extensive new field of thought.”&nbsp;

Revaluing Life for a Liveable Planet

The Economics of Non-Human Animals

Springer Climate

This book argues for the urgent need for evidence-based solutions to the climate crisis by bridging scientific progress, policy, and finance. It offers a comprehensive framework for achieving climate justice through green economics, sustainable financing, and equitable adaptation measures. Despite progress, global emissions continue to rise, and adaptation efforts remain inconsistent. The book assesses these gaps and proposes aligning economic incentives, financial instruments, and governance structures with climate goals.

Addressing the unequal burden of climate change, the volume further discusses mechanisms for inclusive green finance and equitable adaptation strategies. It also examines the impact of climate change on public health, advocating for integrated frameworks that prioritize prevention and resilience. The book calls for a shift from project-based funding to portfolio-level investments in clean energy and reforestation. Combining technology, social sciences, and economics, the book promotes community-driven solutions and effective communication strategies to strenghten informed, coordinated action toward a sustainable future.
