Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

For as long as humans have been inhabiting coastal areas and recording what occurs in their environments coastal zones have been defined through dynamic interactions. And this is further underlined by a more recent development: observed sea level rise. In a thorough but not overly technical approach Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone: Law and Policy Considerations provides a legal-policy framework for facing the challenges of sea level rise. The book includes an analysis of sea level rise adaptation strategies that examines the legal impacts of coastal land use decisions based on the current interpretation of private property rights in relation to public control over those rights. The author discusses the science behind sea level rise and highlights policy complexities and options. He then presents an overview of related legalities and bringing it all together applies the principles offered in the book concluding with strategies and solutions and a perspective on the future. If we accept the premise that sea level rise is occurring and will continue for the foreseeable future then we must begin to consider policy responses to this risk in coastal regions. Part of any pragmatic policy response must include a review of the options available to public institutions when developing and implementing rational adaptation policies. This book offers practical legal/policy approaches to sea level rise adaptation that promotes sound planning in the face of climate change and rising seas. | Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

There have been two critical leadership approaches. First Generation Leadership (command and control) was the dominant model until the 1940s. Second Generation Leadership (compliance coupled with rewards and punishments) is still dominant today. This approach is being rejected by 'Generation Y ' threatening the longevity of traditional organisations. In Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Douglas Long acknowledges the need for a leadership approach that elicits engagement commitment and enhanced personal group and organisational accountability. This is Third Generation Leadership. At its core lies the issue of where we centre our brain's locus of control and how this impacts on our understanding of and approach to leadership. With examples from everyday situations underpinned by research this book is about understanding and applying aspects of neuroscience critical for tomorrow's world. It provides a framework for addressing problems through insights into how the way we use our brains affects values worldviews and behaviours. The author introduces the concept of 'red zone - blue zone' to explain the differences between a brain controlled by its stem-limbic areas (red zone) and the limbic-cortical cortex areas (blue zone). This becomes a short hand for describing and applying knowledge from neuroscience to encourage practitioners in leadership and management roles to achieve desired outcomes through becoming acquainted with different areas of their brain. Anyone grappling with what is required to deal with Generation Y people in a networked and mobile age will welcome this introduction to the world of third generation leadership. | Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

The Political Economy of Special Economic Zones Concentrating Economic Development

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have become a popular development policy throughout the world over the last half a century. These zones form designated areas where governments offer businesses lower taxes tariffs and often lighter regulations. Generally SEZs aim to attract investments and raise a country’s export and employment rates but although success stories are often cited there are numerous failed projects that have instead become burdens for their host countries. This book examines SEZs from a political economy perspective both to dissect the incentives of governments zone developers and exporters and to uncover both the hidden costs and untapped potential of zone policies. Costs include misallocated resources the encouragement of rent-seeking and distraction of policy-makers from more effective reforms. However the zones also have several unappreciated benefits. They can change the politics of a country by generating a transition from a system of rent-seeking to one of liberalized open markets. In revealing the hidden promise of SEZs this book shows how the SEZ model of development can succeed in the future. Applying frameworks from various schools of political economy this volume places SEZs in the context of their mixed past and promising future. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in international economics development economics and political economy including practitioners and consultants of SEZ policies. | The Political Economy of Special Economic Zones Concentrating Economic Development

How Do Families Cope With Chronic Illness?

Because chronic disorder is becoming an ordinary feature of family life and development understanding its impact has become critical. This volume and the conference proceedings it reports represents a major effort to examine the family's response to chronic physical or psychopathological illness in one or more of its members. Recent data are revising our notions of chronic illness. Evidence is mounting that chronic psychiatric disorders reflect in part abnormalities of brain structure and function. In this sense they are in part medical disorders. On the other hand a number of traditionally labeled medical disorders produce a broad range of psychological symptoms and are exquisitely sensitive to psychosocial influences. Families undergo a complex process of adaptation during which their response to stress and their fundamental beliefs about learning and parenting change. These beliefs endure and are difficult to alter. By examining the processes in a wide range of chronic conditions this volume helps to identify the common underlying processes of adaptation. The first three chapters concern the families' responses to disorders that are distinctly medical; the next three focus on families' responses to grey zone disorders or anomalies that appear early in life minor physical anomalies and communication handicaps; and one chapter focuses exclusively on schizophrenia. The last chapter reflects an effort to develop a model based on the experience of researchers with both psychiatric and medical illness. | How Do Families Cope With Chronic Illness?

Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Human life is intimately woven into place. Through nations and homelands monuments and sacred sites it becomes the anchorage point for ethnic cultural and national identities. Yet it is also place that becomes the battlefield war zone mass grave desecrated site and destroyed landscape in the midst or aftermath of cultural wounding. Much attention has been given to the impact of trauma and violence on human lives across generations but what of the spaces in which it occurs? How does culturally prescribed violence impact upon place? And how do the non- human species with whom we coexist also suffer through episodes of conflict and violence? By identifying violence in place as a crisis of our times and by encouraging both the witnessing and the diagnosing of harm this book reveals the greater effects of cultural wounding. It problematises the habit of separating human life out from the ecologies in which it is held. If people and place are bound through kinship whether through necessity and survival or choice and abiding love then wounding is co- terminus. The harms done to one will impact upon the other. Case studies from Australia North and South America Europe and the Pacific illustrate the impact of violence in place while supporting a campaign for methodologies that reveal the fullness of the relational bond between people and place. The book will appeal to students and practitioners alike with interests in cultural and human geography anthropology environmental humanities and moral ecology. | Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding
