Voluntary Sustainability Standards : Illusions of Progress and a Way Forward / Arpit BHUTANI / PETER LANG (2021)
Titre : Voluntary Sustainability Standards : Illusions of Progress and a Way Forward Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Arpit BHUTANI Editeur : PETER LANG Année de publication : 2021 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781433187728 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Sustainability standards, and in particular voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) have become an integral part of facilitating green consumerism and promoting green economy and green growth. While such standards have undoubtedly led to some desirable change in production structures and methods, as well as in improved material, resource and energy efficiency, overall results have remained modest, mostly incremental and far from leading to transformational, sector- or economy-wide changes. It is therefore high time that after some 30 years of increasing use of sustainability standards one takes stock of their achievements and pros and cons. This analysis should however not be confined to a technical review of the progress in improving or perfectioning the standard system and best practice in standard application and use, but primarily focus on a review of the political economy of VSS and their record in reshaping the current largely unsustainable agro-food economy and the situation of farmers. Many, in particular voluntary sustainability standards are now at a crossroads, but instead of realizing the systemic, deep-rooted nature of the crisis and conceiving of much-required reforms most standard advocates continue to focus their activities on improving the functioning of the standard system and emulating or disseminating best standard-compliance practice. Against this background, the book wonders what the illusions and what the reality of VSS have been in recent decades and whether these standards can be made fit for a future, in which sustainability issues are bound to play an even more important and pressing role. As appendix we looked into the relationship between the Corona crisis as one of the many other epidemics which have hit us hard and the future of globalized supply chains, of which VSS are part of.

Titre : Winners and Losers : Which Countries are Successful and Why? Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Matt QVORTRUP Editeur : PETER LANG Année de publication : 2021 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781800794061 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The aim of this short book is to understand which countries do well on key indicators and why. After a short philosophical and historical survey of the literature to put the book into context, the Better-Place Index is developed. This is subsequently tested against a number of policy variables, such as levels of taxation, immigration, and democratic institutions, and other measures. The book provides statistical evidence that these factors are correlated with higher scores on the Better Place Index.

JUCHACZ / PETER LANG (2020)
Titre : Advancing the Human Self : Do Technologies Make Us ?Posthuman?? Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Piotr W. JUCHACZ Editeur : PETER LANG Année de publication : 2020 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9783631806784 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Do technologies advance our self-identities, as they do our bodies, cognitive skills, and the next developmental stage called postpersonal? Did we already manage to be fully human, before becoming posthuman? Are we doomed to disintegration and episodic selfhood? This book examines the impact of radical technopoiesis on our selves from a multidisciplinary perspective, including the health humanities, phenomenology, the life sciences and humanoid AI (artificial intelligence) ethics. Surprisingly, our body representations show more plasticity than scholarly concepts and sociocultural narratives. Our embodied selves can withstand transplants, bionic prostheses and radical somatechnics, but to remain autonomous and authentic, our agential potentials must be strengthened ? and this is not through ?psychosurgery' and the brain?computer interface.

Titre : Advertising the Black Stuff in Ireland 1959-1999 : Increments of change Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Eamon MAHER Editeur : PETER LANG Année de publication : 2020 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781789973457 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : 1959 to 1999 was a pivotal time in the Republic of Ireland's short history. This book's journey commences in 1959 when the country had just taken its first steps on the road to internationalization. It concludes 40 years later in 1999, by which time Ireland had metamorphosed into one of the most globalized countries in the world. Inevitably, many of the country's cultural and societal norms were challenged. The author charts many of the changes that occurred over the course of those years by piecing together a large number of the ads held in the Guinness Archive. Just as Irishness, cultural specificity and the provenance of Guinness formed an integral part of these ads, so too did the growing prevalence of international cultural tropes. The book seeks to interrogate the following: the influence of the Guinness brand's provenance on advertising campaigns aimed at consumers living in Ireland; the evolution of cultural signs used in Guinness's advertising campaigns aimed at consumers in Ireland between 1959 and 1999; the extent to which Ireland's social and economic history might be recounted through the lens of Guinness's ads; the extent to which Guinness's advertising might have influenced Irish culture and society.

Titre : Africa's Incomplete Cycles of Development Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Edward SHIZA Editeur : PETER LANG Année de publication : 2020 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781433168215 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Juxtaposing qualitative as well as quantitative facts across the broader African continent, the authors explore critical issues compounding developmental woes of the continent at the present. Despite the facts being on the fringes as explanations to the sluggish development of Africa, the authors show how they interact in shaping its development discourse. The authors also study unfolding events on the unforgiving global economy which have added to the misery of the continent. This book is an enthralling account which interrogates Africa's present realities and how they interplay to further stagnate the continent. The authors add a new voice to issues affecting development by venturing into largely unexplored niches of Africa's development conundrum.
