    The good farmer : culture and identity in food and agriculture (2021)
    London : Routledge
    Details Availability
    Call number: PIK W 100-22-94745
    Description / Table of Contents: The 'good farmer': cultural dimensions of farming and social change -- The origins of the 'good farmer' -- How symbols of 'good farming' develop: the historical development of 'tidy farming' -- Theorising the 'good farmer': from common sense category to analytical construct -- Morality and the 'good farmer' -- The gendered 'good farmer' -- The 'good farmer' in communities of practice -- Future challenges for the 'good farmer'.
    Description / Table of Contents: "Developed by the leading authors in the field, this book provides a cohesive and definitive theorisation of the concept of the 'good farmer', addressing the blind spots that have sprung up in agri-food literature as well as providing a springboard for future research. The concept of the good farmer has emerged in recent years as part of a move away from attitude and economics based understandings of farm decision-making towards a deeper understanding of culture and symbolism in agriculture. The Good Farmer shows why agricultural production is socially and culturally, as well as economically, important. It explores the history of the concept and its position in contemporary theory, as well as its use and meaning in a variety of different contexts, including landscape, environment, gender, society, and as a tool for resistance. By exploring the idea of the good farmer, it reveals the often-unforeseen assumptions implicit in food and agricultural policy that draw on culture, identity, and presumed notions of what is good. Finally, the book looks at the potential of the good farmer concept for addressing future, emerging issues in agriculture. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of food and agriculture and rural development, as well and professionals and policymakers involved in the food and agricultural industry"

    The Routledge handbook of democracy and sustainability (2022)
    London : Routledge
    Details Availability
    Call number: IASS 22.94728
    Description / Table of Contents: "This handbook provides comprehensive and critical coverage of the lively and complex relationship between democracy and sustainability in contemporary theory, discourse, and practice. Distinguished scholars from different disciplines look at the present state of this relationship, asking how it has evolved and where it is likely to go in the future. In addition, they examine compatibilities and tensions, convergences and divergences, continuities and changes, as well as challenges and potentials not just on the level of theory but also in various empirical fields and practical contexts. There is an established and vibrant debate on the relationship between democracy and ustainability. Indeed, democracy's role in and potential for coping with global and local environmental threats has been subject to scientific analysis and political argumentation for several decades now. Yet this debate has been rather fragmented and diffuse. It comprises theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions from different disciplines, which adopt diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives and address different problem areas and levels of political action. By covering this debate in its entirety, this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the diversity of arguments, claims, questions, and insights that are put forward regarding the relationship between democracy and sustainability. In the process, it not only consolidates and condenses, but also broadens and captures the many nuances of the debate on sustainability and democracy. By showing how theoretical, empirical and practical accounts are interrelated and focussing on diverse problem areas and spheres of action, this handbook serves as a knowledge source for professionals who seek to develop action strategies that do justice to both sustainability and democracy, as well as providing a valuable resource for academic researchers, lecturers and students."

    Reclaiming participatory governance : social movements and the reinvention of democratic innovation (2023)
    London : Routledge
    Details Availability
    Call number: RIFS 23.95506
    Description / Table of Contents: "Reclaiming Participatory Governance offers empirical and theoretical perspectives on how the relationship between social movements and state institutions is emerging and developing through new modes of participatory governance. One of the most interesting political developments of the past decade has been the adoption by social movements of strategies seeking to change political institutions through participatory governance. These strategies have flourished in a variety of contexts, from anti-austerity and pro-social justice protests in Spain, to movements demanding climate transition and race equality in the UK and the USA, to constitutional reforms in Belgium and Iceland. The chief ambition and challenge of these new forms of participatory governance is to institutionalise the prefigurative politics and social justice values that inspired them in the first place, by mobilising the bureaucracy to respond to their claims for reforms and rights. The authors of this volume assess how participatory governance is being transformed and explore the impact of such changes, providing timely critical reflections on: the constraints imposed by cultural, economic and political power relations on these new empowered participatory spaces; the potential of this new "wave" of participatory democracy to reimagine the relationship between citizens and traditional institutions towards more radical democratic renewal; where and how these new democratisation efforts sit within the representative state; and how tensions between the different demands of lay citizens, organised civil society and public officials are being managed. This book will be an important resource for students and academics in political science, public administration and social policy, as well as activists, practitioners and policymakers interested in supporting innovative engagement for deeper social transformation"--

    Routledge handbook of feminist peace research (2021)
    London : Routledge
    Details Availability
    Call number: PIK 24-95654
    Description / Table of Contents: "This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of feminist approaches to questions of violence, justice, and peace. The volume argues that critical feminist thinking is necessary to analyse core peace and conflict issues, and fundamental to thinking about solutions to global problems and promoting peaceful conflict transformation. Contributions to the volume consider questions at the intersection of feminism, gender, peace, justice, and violence through interdisciplinary perspectives. The handbook engages with multiple feminisms, diverse policy concerns and works with diverse theoretical and methodological contributions. The volume covers the gendered nature of five major themes: Methodologies and genealogies (including theories, concepts, histories, methodologies) Politics, power, and violence (including the ways in which violence is created, maintained, reproduced, and the gendered dynamics of its instantiations) Institutional and societal interventions to promote peace (including those by national, regional, international organizations, and civil society or informal groups/bodies) Bodies, sexualities, and health (including sexual health, biopolitics, sexual orientation) Global inequalities (including climate change, aid, global political economy). This handbook will be of great interest to students of peace and conflict studies, security studies, feminist studies, gender studies, International Relations and politics"--

    European foreign policy in a decarbonising world : challenges and opportunities (2022)
    London : Routledge
    Details Availability
    Call number: RIFS 24.95677
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction : the European Union, decarbonisation and foreign policy -- Nigeria : addressing fragility away from oil? -- Indonesia : building a partnership beyond fossil fuels and palm oil -- Azerbaijan : partnership potential beyond gas? -- Colombia : the double challenge of internal pacification and decarbonisation -- Qatar : moving beyond oil and gas within a fragile regional context -- Canada : reframing a well-established partnership -- Conclusions : challenges and opportunities for EU foreign policy and its analysis in an era of decarbonisation.
    Description / Table of Contents: "Contributing to the emerging literature on the geopolitical and foreign policy implications of decarbonisation and energy transition processes, this book sheds light on the future of the European Union's external relations under decarbonisation. Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, adopted in 2015, governments committed to phasing out the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases over the coming decades. This book addresses the many questions around this process of decarbonisation through detailed analyses of EU external relations with six fossil-fuel exporting countries: Nigeria, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Qatar and Canada. The authors systematically examine the six countries' varying dependence on fossil fuels, the broader political and security context, current relations with the EU and the potential for developing these toward decarbonisation. In doing so, they put forward a series of findings that should hold across varying circumstances and provide a steppingstone to enrich and inspire further research on foreign policy, external relations and international relations under decarbonisation. The book also makes an important contribution to understanding the external implications of the 2019 European Green Deal. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of European environmental and climate policy, climate diplomacy, energy policy, foreign policy and climate/energy geopolitics."
