Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 344 p. Includes: illustrations, diagrams, bibliography. This book analyses the development of Thai forestry from the founding of the Royal Forest Department in 1896 up to the present day, focusing particularly on one of the most controversial state forestry programs in Thai history, the military-led Khor Jor Kor project (1990-1992). The Khor Jor Kor project aimed to reorganize land use in all of Thailand's 1,253 National Forest Reserves. Behind the project was a powerful alliance of army generals, forestry officials, and pulp and paper companies. Had it gone through, thousands of families living in forest areas would have been evicted from their homes to make way for commercial plantations of eucalyptus. However, Khor Jor Kor led to massive conflict and sustained protests. Under the repressive conditions of the Suchinda dictatorship, farmers developed a civil disobedience strategy that finally stopped the project in July 1992. This book tells the story of that resistance movement and argues that it was a key link in the development of democratic forest management alternatives to the prevailing state and corporate models. At the same time, the book takes a fresh look at the historical development of forest politics in modern Thailand. Continuity and change in forestry are explained as the result of the rise and fall of different "strategic groups", from British teak companies to the Royal Forest Department, from the Thai military to global pulp and paper conglomerates. Issues such as colonialism and the plundering of Thailand's forests, counter-insurgency and forest villages, conflicts over commercial plantations, the 1989 logging ban, illegal logging scandals and the failure of state reforestation, and the emergence of a vibrant grassroots environmental movement are integrated into a comprehensive framework of analysis that is highly relevant for the debates in global forestry today.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut ungelesen, sehr guter Zustand; Rechnung mit MwSt.; unused/unread, very good condition; -LUXEMBURG 3-2010 Der Themenschwerpunkt der Heftes wird im Editorial als 'Von hier nach dort - ganz anders' charakterisiert. Dazu heißt es dort weiter: 'Die Autoindustrie präsentiert sich als Vorreiter und globaler Leitmarkt. Von den Krisen wird geschwiegen: Seit Jahrzehnten wird zu viel produziert. Das verschärft die Konkurrenz - die in erster Linie die Beschäftigten trifft.' Wie kann das geändert werden 'Wie können Einstiege gefunden werden, betriebliche, branchenweite, regionale und gesellschaftliche Wie werden sie attraktiv, nützlich - und helfen die zentralen Probleme von Ökonomie, Arbeit und Ökologie zu lösen ' Die These der Redaktion: 'Eine sozial-ökologische Transformation ist zugleich eine kulturelle Revolution. Konkrete Utopien einer alternativen, postfossilen Mobilität sind gefragt, solidarisch, demokratisch, öffentlich organisiert: go public!' Zu diesen Themen argumentieren und diskutieren Rainer Rilling, Catherine Lutz, Anne Lutz Fernandez, Jayne Holsinger, Holm-Detlev Köhler, Winfried Wolf, Antje Blöcker, Raúl Zibechi, Bernd Röttger, Ulla Lötzer, Stefan Krull, Sabine Leidig Besser, Klaus Gietinger u.v.a.m. 160 pp. Deutsch.

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 310 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "This engaged and vital edited volume brings together the varied viewpoints of academics, consultants and activists all concerned with the astonishing expansion of palm oil as a globally traded commodity. It reveals how this complex, contested and controversial expression of globalization transcends narrow national and sectoral interests, stimulating a transnational exchange of goods, capital and labour, as well as laws, norms, values and even understanding. Compelling, readable and insightful, the study shows that corporate responses to civil society's concerns about palm oil's role in global warming, human rights abuses, land grabbing and biodiversity loss, now need to be complemented by legal, regulatory and governance reforms to be effective." - Marcus Colchester, Director, Forest Peoples Programme.
