Political Agroecology

Advancing the Transition to Sustainable Food Systems

By: Manuel González de Molina,Paulo Frederico Petersen,Francisco Garrido Peña,Francisco Roberto Caporal

Political Agroecology is the first book to offer a systematic and articulated reflection on Political Agroecology from the Agroecological perspective. It defines the disciplinary field responsible for designing and producing actions, institutions and regulations aimed at achieving agrarian sustainability. In short, it aims to build a political theory that makes the scaling-up of agroecological experiences possible, turning them into the foundation of a new and alternative food regime. The book proposes theoretical, practical and epistemological foundations of a new theoretical and practical field of work for agroecologists: Political Agroecology. It establishes a framework for a common agroecological strategy, covering the different levels of collective action and the different instruments with which it can be developed. This will be essential reading for agroecologists, environmentalists, farming and food communities, and an ideal textbook for advanced agroecology courses in universities. Key features: Offers a unique state of the art on this fundamental new topic: Political Agroecology Presents a complete introduction to the political and institutional aspects of Agroecology, covering the whole food system Offers an important tool for searching agrarian sustainability Provides a broad epistemological, theoretical and methodological focus, exploring the connection between the different levels and scales involved in agroecological theory and practice

Spatial Variation in Water Supply and Demand Across River Basins of India

By: Upali Amarasinghe,Bharat R. Sharma,Noel Aloysius,Christopher Scott,Vladimir Smakhtin,Charlotte de Fraiture

India is a large country with regional differences in per-capita water supply and demand. Attempts to describe the water situation in India at a national level are often misleading due to the tremendous diversity in the water situation across the country. This Report analyzes the spatial variation of water supply and demand across river basins in India. The study identifies basins that are water-scarce because of inadequate water availability to meet the effective demand. It also identifies issues that are important for estimating the future water demand and for the formation of policy for future water-resources development and management.

Modeling Scenarios for Water Allocation in the Gediz Basin, Turkey

By: G. W. Kite,Peter Droogers,Hammond Murray-Rust,Koos de Voogt

Describes the use of a distributed hydrologic model to evaluate different data scenarios. The study attempted to answer questions such as; what will happen to the basin water resources if a) there is a change in climate; b) it is decided that more water must be retained in the river for environmental reasons; c) more water is extracted for urban and industrial use; d) the timing and accounts used for water are changed?

The Economics of Water Scarcity in the Middle East and North Africa

Institutional Solutions

By: Dominick de Waal,Stuti Khemani,Andrea Barone,Edoardo Borgomeo

Despite massive infrastructure investments, countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region continue to face unprecedented water scarcity due to climate change, population growth, and socioeconomic development. Current policy regimes for managing water across competing needs are primarily determined by state control of large infrastructure. Policy makers across the region understand the unsustainability of water allocations and that increasing investments in new infrastructure and technologies to increase water supply place a growing financial burden on governments. However, standard solutions for demand management—reallocating water to higher value uses, reducing waste, and increasing tariffs—pose difficult political dilemmas that, more often than not, are left unresolved. Without institutional reform, the region will likely remain in water distress even with increased financing for water sector infrastructure.The Economics of Water Scarcity in the Middle East and North Africa: Institutional Solutions confronts the persistence and severity of water scarcity in MENA. The report draws on the tools of public economics to address two crucial challenges facing states in MENA: lack of legitimacy and trust. Evidence from the World Values Survey shows that people in the region believe that a key role of government is to keep prices down and that governments are reluctant to raise tariffs because of the risk of widespread protests. Instead of avoiding the “politically sensitive†? issue of water scarcity, this report argues that reform leaders and their external partners can reform national water institutions and draw on local political contestation to establish a new social contract. The crisis and emotive power of water in the region can be used to bolster legitimacy and trust and build a sustainable, inclusive, thriving economy that is resilient to climate change.

Institutions, impact synergies and food security: a methodology with results from the Kala Oya Basin, Sri Lanka

By: Saleth, Rathinasamy Maria, Dinar, A., Neubert, S., Kamaiah, B., Manoharan, S., Abayawardana, Sarath, Ariyaratne, Ranjith, de Silva, S.

The success of development programs depends on the role of underlying institutions and the impact synergies from closely related programs. Existing literature has limitations in accounting for these critical factors. This paper fills this gap by developing a methodology, which can quantify both the institutional roles in impact generation and the impact synergies from related programs. The methodology is applied to the Kala Oya Basin in Sri Lanka for evaluating the impacts of three development programs and 11 institutions on food security. The results provide valuable insights on the relative roles of institutions and the varying flow of impact synergies both within and across impact pathways.

The Flemish Primitives

Catalogue of Early Netherlandish Painting in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

By: Musées royaux des beaux-arts de Belgique,Cyriel Stroo,Pascale Syfer-d'Olne,Anne Dubois

The third volume includes a final group of preeminent, identified artists from the period of transition at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century. Artistic production at this time was still rooted in late medieval thought, yet more and more seized with new renaissance developments, and at a permanent state of ferment with constantly changing needs of society. The catalogue deals with correspondingly complex issues of interpretation through the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Bouts, Gerard David, Colijn de Coter and Goossen van der Weyden. It comprises a technical, stylistic and iconographical investigation of seventeen paintings on the basis of a scientific research method, which has been fully established over the years. The authors have been able to adjust various attributions and interpretations. At the same time most valuable discoveries have been made with regard to the provenance of some work belonging to the Albrecht Bouts and Colijn de Coter Groups.

La collaboration dans la production de l'écrit médiéval

actes du XIIIe Colloque international de paléographie latine (Weingarten, 22-25 september 2000)

By: Comité international de paléographie latine. Coloquio

Au-dela de l'image traditionnelle du copiste isole dans sa chaire solennelle, la production de l'ecrit au Moyen Age a connu des formes multiples de travail en commun dont la reconstitution n'est possible qu'en faisant parler les indices les plus tenus fournis par le produit fini, livre ou charte. Les communautes universitaires, qui supplantent les scriptoria et elargissent les milieux de la fabrication du livre, art complexe, d'abord visuel et manuel, creent de nouvelles procedures (dont le systeme de textes de reference loues "a la piece" pour servir a la copie simultanee d'exemplaires multiples); la multiplicite des competences necessaires entraine une specialisation des taches - le cas ou le meme homme peut cumuler les fonctions d'auteur, de copiste et d'enlumineur se fait de plus en plus rare; les chancelleries s'etoffent et s'autonomisent, assurant leur propre production. La collaboration dans la production de l'ecrit medieval, grace a de minutieuses enquetes codicologique, paleographique et philologique, observe dans les ateliers commerciaux de librairie de la fin du Moyen Age une specialisation qui annonce les procedures rationalises qui seront celles des premiers typographes.
