Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the drylands and mountains where pastoralists live, uncertainty is everywhere. In these settings, negotiating access to resources, navigating volatile markets, making use of varying social relations in times of stress, and responding to conflict and complex political dynamics is essential if livelihoods are to be generated. Pastoralism - the extensive, often mobile use of rangelands - is a vitally important livelihood practice globally. Rangelands cover more than half the world's land surface, supporting many millions of people and livestock, often in harsh and hostile environments. The book's chapters - with case studies from Africa, Asia, and Europe - explore how pastoral mobility is sustained, how resources are managed, how markets are combined, how social protections are provided, and how patterns of accumulation and investment are sustained in a more globalized, interconnected world. Focusing on the attributes of flexibility, adaptation, innovation, and learning for generating reliability, the book offers wider lessons for development in pastoral areas the world over that go beyond the rigid modes of planning, management, and control.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Just over a decade ago, a new paradigm emerged that challenged the 'conventional' type of global development assistance by which the Global North vertically supports the Global South. It became apparent that a shift was taking place - to an approach built upon horizontal relationships between equal partners 'often' seeking mutual benefits from development cooperation. This book sets out how East Asian aid donors and their innovative practices are central to this new paradigm. The authors of each chapter map the evolution of East Asian development approaches against the background of the political and economic focus of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While keeping in sight the broader picture unfolding in the global community, the book's chapters go further, to discuss foreign aid practices of South Korea, China and Japan separately in their relation to domestic developmentalist politics. The findings in this book highlight the importance of understanding the past, present and future of development strategy in East Asia in the current global context. The recent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the pressing climate change crisis, call for an urgent re-examination of priorities in development cooperation.…
