The realities of global economic integration are far more complex than many of its supporters or detractors acknowledge One consequence of simplistic thinking about globalization, claims Robert Paehlke, is that we tend to focus on economic prosperity tothe neglect of such other important considerations as environmental and social well-being озъмю A first step toward righting this imbalance is the recognition that economic gains do not guarantee better lives or better communities and societies Democratic societies face a dilemma Global economic integration produces a need for global political integration Without it, national, state, and local governments are under pressure to forego environmental protection and social programs in order to be competitive At the same time, global governance presents problems because of its scale and its inaccessibility to citizens This book describes the consequences of this dilemma--such as political cynicism and lack of democratic participation--and proposes ways of dealing with it Paehlke seeks a middle ground between those who reject globalization and those who claim that it will create the best of all possible worlds Because there is no returning to a world that is less economically, culturally, and politically integrated, he argues, we should make every effort to advance global cooperation and equity He suggests specific interventions that could be built into international trade agreements, including global minimum wages and provisos that natural commodities from developing economies such as energy and forest cuttings not be allowed to decline in price relative to the manufactured goods of more advanced economies He also suggests ways to improve domestic democratic effectiveness.  ISBN 0262162156.

The diverse forms of Internet art and the tools and equipment used to create them are discussedand placed within the wider cultural context When the Internet emerged as a mass global communication network in the mid-1990s, artists immediatelyrecognized the exciting possibilities for creative innovation that came with it After a century of unprecedented озъпд artistic experimentation, individuals and groups were quick to use the new technologies to question and radically redefine the conventions of art, and to tackle some of the most pressing social, political, and ethical issues of the day Covering email art, Web sites, artist-designed software, and projects that blur the boundaries between art and design, product development, political activism, and communication, Internet Art shows how artists have employed online technologies to engage with the traditions of art history, to create new forms of art, and to move into fields of activity normally beyond the artistic realm The book investigates the ways Internet art resists and shifts assumptions about authorship, originality, and intellectual property; the social role of the artist; issues of identity, sexuality, economics, and power; and the place of the individual in the virtual, networked age Throughout, the views of artists, curators, and critics offer an insider's perspective on the subject, while a timeline and glossary provide easy-to-follow guides to the key works, events, and technological developments that have taken art into the twenty-first century 200 illustrations, 100 in color.  ISBN 0500203768.

Five companies dominate the U S petroleum industry Five control the worldwide trade in grain Two have a corner on the private market for drinking water In terms of actual dollars, trade in heroin, cocaine, and tobacco ranks alongside that in grain or metals There are more slaves in the world today than ever before Resource-by-resource, Its All озъпт for Sale uncovers and discloses who owns, buys, and sells what Some resourcessuch as fuel, metals, fertilizers, drugs, fibers, food, forests, and flowershave, for better or worse, long been thought of as commodities Othersincluding fresh water, human beings, the sky, the oceans, and life itself (in the form of genetic codes)are more startling to think of as products with pricetags, but, as James Ridgeway shows, they are treated as such on a massive scale in lucrative markets around the world Revealing the surprisingly small number of companies that control many of the basic commodities we use in everyday life, Its All for Sale confirms in specific detail that globalization has been accompanied by an extraordinary concentration of ownership At the same time, it is about much more than what company has cornered the market in corn or diamonds Corporations and captains of industry, wars and swindles, oppressors and the oppressed, empires and colonies, military might and commercial power, economic boom and bustall these come alive in Ridgeways canny and arresting reporting about the global scramble for power and profit Its All for Sale is an invaluable source for researchers, activists, and all those concerned with globalization, corporate power, and the exploitation of individuals and the environment.  ISBN 0822333740.

This report discusses the vulnerability of the nation's information infrastructure to external attacks and other kinds of disruptions It assesses the extent of the data available for measuring this threat and concludes that energy supplies, telecommunications, and computer-based systems should be of first priority for attention and remedial озъпэ action Finally, it suggests steps to reduce national vulnerability The information security posture in both government and the private sector needs immediate examination and attention Analytic studies should be performed to establish such infrastructure features as sources of resilience and the characterization of normalcy, and to specify R&D requirements In addition, the nation should establish a warning mechanism and a supporting coordination center.  ISBN 0833026216.

It is clear that the transition to ecologically sustainable patterns of development requires significant institutional change, yet we face a paradox Although institutions are the primary means of driving reform, they are themselves a root cause of unsustainable development and a barrier to positive change This volume moves beyond the current озърн debate by advancing our understanding of the nature of institutional change, the features of more appropriate institutional settings, and the manner in which change can be enabled Institutional Change for Sustainable Development presents a flexible, accessible, yet robust conceptual framework for comprehending institutional dimensions of sustainability, emphasizing the complexity of institutional systems, andhighlighting the interdependence between policy learning and institutional change This framework is applied and developed through the analysis of five significant arenas of institutional and policy change: environmental policy in the EU; New Zealands landmark Resource Management Act; strategic environmental assessment; emerging National Councils for Sustainable Development; and transformative property rights instruments From these explorations, key principles for institutional change are identified, including the institutional accommodation of a sustainability discourse, the interdependence of normative and institutional change; reiteration and learning; integration in policy and practice; subsidiarity; and legal change Institutional Change for Sustainable Development will be of interest to researchers, policymakers and practitioners concerned with sustainability, resource management and environmental policy.  ISBN 1843765691.

Peter Leonard provides an accessible analysis of debates about the crisis of the welfare state under the contemporary conditions of postmodern scepticism and the triumphs of global market capitalism In the last two decades Western governments have sought to replace the post-war welfare compact with neo-conservative individualism The prospects озъсе for the Left look bleak At the same time, postmodern critique raises profound questions about the validity of a mass politics of emancipation based on the universal values of justice, reason and progress From a critical perspective founded in Marxism and feminism, Leonard uses elements of postmodern deconstruction to consider how we might now re-think the present and future of welf.  ISBN 0803976100.

As humanity presses down inexorably on the natural world, people debate the extent to which we can save the Earth's millions of different species without sacrificing human economic welfare But is this argument wise? Must the human and natural worlds be adversaries? In this book, ecologist Michael Rosenzweig finds that ecological science actually озъсп rejects such polarization Instead it suggests that, to be successful, conservation must discover how we can blend a rich natural world into the world of economic activity This revolutionary, common ground between development and conservation is called reconciliation ecology: creating and maintaining species-friendly habitats in the very places where people live, work, or play The book offers many inspiring examples of the good results already achieved The Nature Conservancy, for instance, has a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense, with more than 200 conservation projects taking place on more than 170 bases in 41 states In places such as Elgin Air Force Base, the human uses-testing munitions, profitable timbering and recreation--continue, but populations of several threatened species on the base, such as the long-leaf pine and the red-cockaded woodpecker, have been greatly improved The SafeHarbor strategy of the Fish & Wildlife Service encourages private landowners to improve their property for endangered species, thus overcoming the unintended negative aspects of the Endangered Species Act And Golden Gate Park, which began as a system ofsand dunes, has become, through human effort, a world of ponds and shrubs, waterfowl and trees Rosenzweig shows that reconciliation ecology is the missing tool of conservation, the practical, scientifically based approach that, when added to the rest, will solve the problem of preserving Earth's species.  ISBN 0195156048.
