Narrating Extractivism

Petro-Rhetoric in Canada

Contemporary Environmental Law and Policy

Over a time lapse of only about 170 years, the trajectory of greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere has exceeded the 1.5°C security level established in the Paris Agreement. States and international organisations have thus far addressed global warming primarily by means of policy-making and law-making–that is, from the standpoint of ‘primary’ rules, but convergence is still limited. Climate science indeed warns that the timely achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050 currently necessitates drastic cuts in GHG emissions on a yearly basis. Can therefore a progressive implementation of ‘secondary’ norms, that is, sanctions and ensuing enforcement procedures, meaningfully contribute to fostering a fast transition to a low-carbon economy based on renewables and, possibly, nuclear energy and further innovative technologies, including corresponding adaptation measures? ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ mechanisms, both ‘public’ and ‘private’ in nature, whereby enforceable sanctions integrate goal setting, pledges and a variety of behavioural incentives, disclose a fragmented ‘enforcement deficit’, which compels case-by-case decentralised solutions, whereby the threshold is by now set at a 2°C temperature increase above pre-industrial levels, with fast-approaching tipping points.

Implementing Climate Change Policy

Global Perspectives on Law and the Environment

The book is a groundbreaking collaborative effort authored by a diverse team of academic scholars and experts. Contributors hail from various corners of Africa and one esteemed scholar from Asia. This dynamic collaboration brings together a wealth of perspectives, enriching the discourse on the ethical dimensions of climate-conscious trade and sustainable development in Africa. Comprising thirteen thought-provoking chapters, this comprehensive work explores the intricate relationship between climate ethics, trade policies, and development strategies on the African continent. The authors delve into the complexities of ethical considerations within Africa's trade landscape, providing a nuanced analysis of how these considerations can shape the trajectory of sustainable development. The book not only navigates the uncertainties highlighted in the UN-commissioned Millennium Ecosystem Assessment but also takes on the crucial task of examining the interactions between indigenous knowledge systems and climate change adaptation. The resulting insights are dynamic, location-specific, and responsive to diverse drivers, offering a holistic understanding of the ethical challenges and opportunities that characterize the African trade and development landscape. An outstanding feature of this collaborative effort is the inclusive approach to the subject matter. The co-authors draw from their diverse expertise, weaving together insights from environmental ethics, political science, and development studies. This interdisciplinary approach ensures a well-rounded exploration of the moral imperatives guiding sustainable trade practices, making the book accessible to scholars and practitioners in the field.&nbsp; The exploration of African metaphysics and ethics within the context of climate change adds a unique and culturally rich dimension to the book. By synthesizing indigenous knowledge with contemporary ethical theories, the authors provide a bridge between tradition and modernity, offering a foundation for structuring ethical standards that resonate with the African experience. The book is a beacon of optimism and a roadmap for a more ethically grounded approach to&nbsp; African trade and development. With its insightful analyses, innovative proposals, and diverse authorship, this book is poised to become an essential resource for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the ethical dimensions of climate-conscious trade in Africa.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Structuring a Standard for Trade and Development in Africa

Climate Ethics in Africa

India Studies in Business and Economics

This edited volume documents through its 75 years post-independence, the developmental complexities, economic achievements and challenges unique to India, given its vast population and regional, cultural, and climatic diversities, with simple illustrations, making them accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise. Since gaining independence, the Indian economy has embarked on a distinctive journey, navigating through a series of economic policy experiments in diverse economic landscapes. This distinct trajectory has not only accelerated its pace of economic growth but also addressed a myriad of developmental issues, from poverty to well-being, with varied degrees of success over the years. The detailed analysis and anecdotal evidence are at the core to show how the country's experience and challenges are different from the linear model of development transition, and must be understood in their own context.


The academic papers, both theoretical and empirical, highlight the pace and patterns of sectoral dynamics since independence, unfold the issues and factors affecting development, with a particular focus on the productivity growth of the Indian economy, and showcase debates that may help planning policy for Vision@2047, the year when India would celebrate its centenary year of independence. The book contains 24 chapters divided into ten sections, covering issues related to growth strategies, productivity growth, agricultural transition, growth heterogeneity, labour, rural non-farm sector and migration, social sectors including education and environment, and debates on industrialisation and servicification - the principle features of Indian growth and development story. Given such diverse collection of chapters and discussions in them, the book will find readers across the developmental economics sphere ranging from academics to policy makers as well as industry experts.

Issues, Measures, Causes, and Impacts

75 Years of Growth, Development and Productivity in India

This book addresses the various challenges that arose during the two periods of Indonesian President Jokowi's administration. These included the global economic crisis, increasingly complex geopolitical dynamics, such as competition between major powers, the Covid-19 pandemic and its ramifications for Indonesia, as well as issues of border disputes, human trafficking, and the situation in Palestine. Addressing these challenges necessitates a forward-thinking Indonesian foreign policy strategy. As the 2024 General Election has taken place and President Jokowi's term came to an end, this book presents a timely and comprehensive discussion on Indonesian foreign policy and diplomacy and its associated challenges—those of the past, and those now facing the current administration. Relevant to Indonesian and international political scientists and social scientists, this interdisciplinary book—which includes perspectives from both scholars and practitioners—confronts Jokowi's policies relating to the economy, territorial, migration, religion, and all aspects of Indonesian society, in the context of the former government.

Climate change represents one of humanity’s most profound and uncertain challenges—demanding innovation, cooperation, and systemic transformation. Decarbonization Policy Engineering: Energy Transition and Regional Cooperation in East Asia provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for navigating this transition.
Structured around three core themes:
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strategies and Prospects for Carbon Neutrality in East Asia: This section analyzes decarbonization pathways, policy frameworks, and challenges specific to China, Japan, and South Korea. It explores national strategies, energy security, climate policy philosophy, and the potential for regional cooperation, including a joint carbon market.
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; System Evaluation of the Optimal Energy Mix: The focus here is on the technical and engineering aspects of the energy transition. Research includes optimizing integrated energy system design, conducting scenario analyses for future pathways, and evaluating the impacts of climate change on energy consumption.
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Innovations for a Decarbonized Society: This segment broadens the scope to cross-cutting enablers of decarbonization. It covers climate finance, carbon accounting, technological breakthroughs, consumer behavior, carbon border mechanisms, life cycle assessment, and sector-specific strategies for waste management and residential energy use.
By treating uncertainty not as a barrier but as a catalyst for innovation, this book redefines the future of energy policy. It serves as an essential compass for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners striving to engineer a sustainable, carbon-neutral future for East Asia—and beyond.
