Mendoza V: The Search for Water

The Search for Water

A Human History of Thirst

This is the updated and expanded edition of the only radical, multidisciplinary, international introduction to intellectual property in its socio-economic contexts. Bringing together voices from law, sociology, economics, political science, and cultural studies from across the Global North and Global South, experts and activists Mat Callahan and Jim Rogers offer a detailed history and analysis of IP before asking critical questions designed to underscore its importance in the broader struggle between capital and the commons. What are the broader implications of IP, whether for agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, education, or entertainment? Is IP law a fundamental pillar of our culture, or has it been used to protect and assert the ownership of, and thus limit, the spread of ideas and creativity? With a chapter structure moving from historical and theoretical foundations to industry-specific conflicts and policy analysis, this book covers the breadth and depth of IP areas, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as emerging issues such as digital rights and biotechnology. Key features include: - voluminous, up-to-date case studies, both Western and non-Western; - an extensive, jargon-busting list of abbreviations of specialized or technical terms; - a new chapter on copyright and socialism; - revisions and updates accounting for the seismic impacts of artificial intelligence. This is a foundational must-read for all researchers, students, and activists interested in critical analyses of IP laws and policies--not just their legal frameworks, but also their broader social, economic, and political implications.

A Radical Guide to the Past, Present, and Future of the Ownership of Ideas

Sustainable Utilization of Nanocellulose and its Derivatives

Everyone is talking about sustainability, yet its concrete meaning and consequences are often unclear. This handbook explains how global goals, climate change, and policy in the UN, EU 27, Germany, US, UK, and China fit together and shape our future.
It leads the reader from core concepts and key international agreements through a concise stock taking and long term outlook to concrete instruments for a more sustainable world. The handbook focuses on the real impact of global and European measures on economies, societies, and the planet. The role of Germany, the US, UK, and China is presented in each case.
Prof. Fieber assesses the achievements of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The countries responsible for global warming are identified and their contributions to improving the situation are compared. In addition, the advantages of liberal democracy over autocracy for achieving greater sustainability in one's own country and worldwide are a subject of this book.
The author¿s aim is to sharpen reader¿s awareness of the necessity for climate action while showing that ambitious sustainability policy can secure stable ecological, social, and economic foundations for future generations. 
It should also be made clear that every individual can contribute to greater sustainability. Taken together, government policy and these personal contributions can bring about a significant improvement in sustainability worldwide.

Timely lessons for today's health and climate crises rooted in one of the earliest cases of government's provision for the common goodThe question of whether a government should take care of its people--preparing and investing in public health, welfare, and resilience policies--is arguably more important today than ever, as the world faces unprecedented climate and health crises.Commonwealth's exploration of the Venetian Republic--one of the oldest and most enduring in history--establishes for the first time that this state developed welfare policies not in response to the plague, as is commonly thought, but two centuries earlier. Alexander More reveals that the lawmakers of Venice took advantage of an economic revival to provide free medical assistance for their population. The Republic also inspected and guaranteed the quality and availability of food, water, and medicine, even when sudden climatic changes caused harvests to fail and supply chains to shift.Through original archival research in multiple languages, More shows that the welfare state of the Venetian Republic, which influenced key modern examples, took shape through deliberate efforts to work toward the common good. Readers interested in the history of medicine and public health, food security, welfare, economic history, climate science, and law will benefit from new insights into the origin and nature of commonwealth in society.Georgetown University Press gratefully acknowledges the support of a publishing grant from Furthermore, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

This book presents an integrative research methodology designed to support economic recovery and sustainable development in post-conflict regions, with a focus on Iraq. It addresses the critical question of how transportation logistics systems-and the regions they serve-can be made economically viable, resilient, and sustainable in the aftermath of armed conflict.The methodology unfolds in distinct but interconnected stages. The first stage provides a comprehensive overview of the Iraqi economy and its transportation infrastructure, supported by a robust database of transportation, economic, and demographic indicators.In the second stage, the post-ISIS state of Iraq's transportation system is assessed in depth. This includes a detailed analysis of logistics operations, recent infrastructure investments, and projections for future development. A key component of this stage is an expert elicitation process involving 20 stakeholder groups to identify investment priorities and stakeholder dynamics.In the methodology's third stage, alternative approaches to modeling interdependent dynamic decision-making in transportation logistics systems are presented and illustrated.&nbsp;These approaches include a) formulating and solving stochastic multiple-optimization problems with equilibrium constraints involving risk-averse players, b) differential spatial price equilibrium modeling in continuous time, and c) recursive dynamic multiregional computable general equilibrium modeling.&nbsp;&nbsp;The methodology also includes an elaboration and illustration of the notion of 'prosilience,' or the act of engaging in anticipatory contingency planning to promote the resilience of transport logistics systems to future threats.Combining theoretical insight with practical application, this book offers a valuable framework for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working to rebuild and strengthen transportation systems in fragile and conflict-affected settings.

Sustainability has become a key priority for organisations across business markets and networks, yet understanding how it is enacted within and across business relationships remains an important challenge. At the heart of these relationships are humans: people who interpret sustainability, make decisions, negotiate priorities, develop relationships, and translate sustainability ambitions into practice. This book explores the human side of sustainability in business-to-business (B2B) marketing, foregrounding the role of human actors in relationships, organisations, networks, and wider systems.Across five parts, the book brings together conceptual perspectives and empirical studies examining how managers, employees, and other actors understand and enact sustainability in diverse B2B contexts. The chapters address topics including sensemaking, sustainable business relationships, circularity transitions, competence development, employee behaviour, humanistic management, governance, social sustainability, and sustainable procurement. Together, the contributions reveal sustainability as a multilevel and relational process shaped by the interplay between human agency, organisational practices, business relationships, and broader network and institutional contexts.The book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in B2B marketing, business relationships and networks, and sustainability, as well as managers and practitioners seeking to understand how sustainability is interpreted, negotiated, and implemented in practice.
