The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Development

The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Development

This Handbook inverts the lens on development asking what Indigenous communities across the globe hope and build for themselves. In contrast to earlier writing on development this volume focuses on Indigenous peoples as inspiring theorists and potent political actors who resist the ongoing destruction of their livelihoods. To foster their own visions of development they look from the present back to Indigenous pasts and forward to Indigenous futures. Key questions: How do Indigenous theories of justice sovereignty and relations between humans and non-humans inform their understandings of development? How have Indigenous people used Rights of Nature legal pluralism and global governance systems to push for their visions? How do Indigenous relations with the Earth inform their struggles against natural resource extraction? How have native peoples negotiated the dangers and benefits of capitalism to foster their own life projects? How do Indigenous peoples in diaspora and in cities around the world contribute to Indigenous futures? How can Indigenous intellectuals artists and scientists control their intellectual property and knowledge systems and bring into being meaningful collective life projects? The book is intended for Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists communities scholars and students. It provides a guide to current thinking across the disciplines that converge in the study of development including geography anthropology environmental studies development studies political science and Indigenous studies. | The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Development

National Environmental Policy (NEPA) Process

National Environmental Policy (NEPA) Process

This book is mainly about the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the process for its implementation. This is most often called theNEPA process.

The book engages with questions such as: How are people with disabilities represented in art? How are notions of disability articulated in relation to ideas of normality hybridity and anomaly?

Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

In every decision problem there are things we know and things we do not know. Risk analysis science uses the best available evidence to assess what we know while it is carefully intentional in the way it addresses the importance of the things we do not know in the evaluation of decision choices and decision outcomes. The field of risk analysis science continues to expand and grow and the second edition of Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty responds to this evolution with several significant changes. The language has been updated and expanded throughout the text and the book features several new areas of expansion including five new chapters. The book’s simple and straightforward style—based on the author’s decades of experience as a risk analyst trainer and educator—strips away the mysterious aura that often accompanies risk analysis. Features: Details the tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication in a straightforward conceptual manner Provides sufficient detail to empower professionals in any discipline to become risk practitioners Expands the risk management emphasis with a new chapter to serve private industry and a growing public sector interest in the growing practice of enterprise risk management Describes dozens of quantitative and qualitative risk assessment tools in a new chapter Practical guidance and ideas for using risk science to improve decisions and their outcomes is found in a new chapter on decision making under uncertainty Practical methods for helping risk professionals to tell their risk story are the focus of a new chapter Features an expanded set of examples of the risk process that demonstrate the growing applications of risk analysis As before this book continues to appeal to professionals who want to learn and apply risk science in their own professions as well as students preparing for professional careers. This book remains a discipline free guide to the principles of risk analysis that is accessible to all interested practitioners. Files used in the creation of this book and additional exercises as well as a free student version of Palisade Corporation’s Decision Tools Suite software are available with the purchase of this book. A less detailed introduction to the risk analysis science tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication is found in Primer of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty Second Edition ISBN: 978-1-138-31228-9. | Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations

The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations

This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations offers a wide-ranging internationally focused overview of the field of civil-military relations. The armed forces are central actors in most societies and are involved in many different roles. Amongst other activities they engage in peace operations support the police in fighting crime support civilian authorities in dealing with natural disasters and fight against terrorists and in internal conflicts. The existing literature on this subject is limited in its discussion of warfighting and thus does not do justice to the variety of roles. This second edition not only fills this important lacuna but offers an up-to-date comparative analysis and provides a conceptual framework to analyze how strategies can realistically be implemented. Amalgamating ideas from key thinkers in the field the book is organized into three main thematic parts: Part I: Civil-Military Relations in Non-Democratic States and Illiberal Democracies; Part II: Civil-Military Relations in New Democracies; Part III: Civil-Military Relations in Established Democracies. This handbook will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of civil-military relations defense studies war and conflict studies international security and IR in general.
