Umweltprobleme machen nicht an Grenzen Halt. Mit dem Entstehen nationaler und internationaler Umweltpolitik um 1970 geriet das Thema auch auf die politische Agenda der Bundesrepublik und der DDR. Ob Werra- oder Elbeverschmutzung, Geruchsbelästigung oder Müllverbringung - die Themen waren vielfältig und die Probleme drängend. Die Umweltverhandlungen zwischen beiden deutschen Staaten gestalteten sich jedoch kompliziert, wurden mehrfach unterbrochen und unterlagen sowohl äußeren als auch inneren Einflüssen. Erst in der zweiten Hälfte der 1980er Jahre führten die Bemühungen zu konkreten Maßnahmen. Gerahmt wird diese ökologische und diplomatische Verflechtungsgeschichte sowohl von Geschehnissen der internationalen Entspannungspolitik des Kalten Krieges als auch von Protest und Engagement der Zivilgesellschaft. Die auf einer breiten empirischen Quellenlage basierende Studie befindet sich damit an der Schnittstelle zweier aktueller Forschungsfelder, der Umweltgeschichte und den Cold War Studies.

Cleanliness is a core value of societies around the globe. So much so that cleaning seems to be an inherent part of human nature and an expression of how we interact with and domesticate our environment. This book explores the concept of cleaning in its various aspects. Illustrations from various cleaning methods expand our conception of an activity that is such a big part of our daily lives. From a child sorting its toys and the meticulous work of a clockmaker to an impressive deep-clean of a ship: each process is treated with the same calm fascination while short texts add a semi-poetic dimension. The book's handy size invites readers to take it out into the world as they look at everyday processes with fresh eyes. Flipping through the pages of Cleaning is as enlightening as it is entertaining.

A dynamic and sweeping history that exposes how humankind's affinity for pesticides made the modern world possible--while also threatening its essential fabric. For thousands of years, we've found ways to scorch, scour, and sterilize our surroundings to make them safer. Sometimes these methods are wonderfully effective. Often, however, they come with catastrophic consequences--consequences that aren't typically understood for generations. The Chemical Age tells the captivating story of the scientists who waged war on famine and disease with chemistry. With depth and verve, Frank A. von Hippel explores humanity's uneasy coexistence with pests, and how their existence, and the battles to exterminate them, have shaped our modern world. Beginning with the potato blight tragedy of the 1840s, which led scientists on an urgent mission to prevent famine using pesticides, von Hippel traces the history of pesticide use to the 1960s, when Rachel Carson's Silent Spring revealed that those same chemicals were insidiously damaging our health and driving species toward extinction. Telling the story of these pesticides in vivid detail, von Hippel showcases the thrills and complex consequences of scientific discovery. He describes the invention of substances that could protect crops, the emergence of our understanding of the way diseases spread, the creation of chemicals used to kill pests and people, and, finally, how scientists turned those wartime chemicals on the landscape at a massive scale, prompting the vital environmental movement that continues today. The Chemical Age is a dynamic, sweeping history that exposes how humankind's affinity for pesticides made the modern world possible--while also threatening its essential fabric.

'A thought-provoking book which empowers its readers to think about the problems in systematic, transformative ways' Fadhel Kaboub, President of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity'A much-needed decolonial examination of the climate crisis' Nnimmo Bassey, author of To Cook a Continent'Groundbreaking ... offers a timely, acute analysis of what a just transition might mean for the region' Laleh Khalili, author of Sinews of War and TradeThe Arab region is a focus of world politics, with authoritarian regimes, significant fossil fuel reserves and histories of colonialism and imperialism. It is also the site of potentially immense green energy resources. The writers in this collection explore a region ripe for energy transition, but held back by resource-grabbing and (neo)colonial agendas. They show the importance of fighting for a just energy transition and climate justice - exposing policies and practices that protect global and local political elites, multinational corporations and military regimes.Covering a wide range of countries from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to Egypt, Sudan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine, this book challenges Eurocentrism and highlights instead a class-conscious approach to climate justice that is necessary for our survival.Hamza Hamouchene is a London-based Algerian researcher and activist. He is the North Africa Programme Coordinator at the Transnational Institute (TNI). His books include The Arab Uprisings and The Struggle for Energy Democracy in the Maghreb.

"Anarchists have much to learn from Indigenous struggles for decolonization. [A] thought-provoking collection" Lesley J. Wood, Professor, York University, Toronto"Vigorously affirming anarchism's plurality, the authors make a powerful case for the reconfiguration of anticolonial struggle" Ruth Kinna, Professor, Loughborough UniversityAs early as the end of the nineteenth century, anarchists such as Peter Kropotkin and Élisée Reclus became interested in Indigenous peoples, many of whom they saw as societies without a state or private property, living a form of communism. Thinkers such as David Graeber and John Holloway have continued this tradition of engagement with the practices of Indigenous societies, while Indigenous activists coined the term 'anarcho-indigenism', in reference to a long history of (often imperfect) collaboration between anarchists and Indigenous activists, over land rights and environmental issues, including recent high profile anti-pipeline campaigns.Anarcho-Indigenism is a dialogue between anarchism and Indigenous politics. In interviews, the contributors reveal what Indigenous thought and traditions and anarchism have in common, without denying the scars left by colonialism. They ultimately offer a vision of the world that combines anti-colonialism, feminism, ecology, anti-capitalism and anti-statism.Francis Dupuis-Déri is a Professor of Political Science and a member of the Institut de Recherches et d'études Féministes at the Université du Québec à Montréal. He is the author of several books such as Who's Afraid of the Black Blocs?. Benjamin Pillet is a translator and community organizer, with a PhD in Political Thought from the Université du Québec à Montréal.

'An essential resource. Howson strikes not just at cryptocurrency, but the frauds who promote blockchain technology as a solution to any social problem' David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain'A merciless takedown of attempts to apply blockchain to the world's biggest problems ... If you are thinking of using blockchain for good, read this first' Professor Villi Lehdonvirta, University of OxfordThe subject of immense hope, hype and confusion, crypto has amassed countless headlines in recent years. With cryptocurrencies, NFTs and metaverse markets crashing, the underlying blockchain technology is still promised to solve global development challenges, and revolutionise every industry. But is the technology really a silver bullet?Peter Howson cuts through the jargon and bluster to tell an alarming story of how right-wing libertarian crypto entrepreneurs - often aided by charities, politicians and philanthropists - seek out and exploit conditions of poverty, oppression, corruption and conflict. Their goal? A new front of 'crypto-colonial' extractivism. Let Them Eat Crypto reveals the alarming truth: far from 'banking the unbanked', saving the gorillas, or freeing people from oppressive governments, blockchain offers only false solutions, surveillance and hi-tech snake oil.Peter Howson is a technology writer, researcher and Assistant Professor in International Development at Northumbria University. His work has appeared in Reuters, The Independent, The Conversation, Novara, Jacobin and Coindesk. He investigates the green-washing, aid-washing and crypto-shenanigans that go on in Silicon Valley, as well as the lesser-known tech-hubs of the Global South.

'Hugely important ... Drawing on grassroots alternatives from across the world, the book offers a vital guide' Ian Scoones, Professor, University of Sussex'A fantastic collection that illustrates that just transformations are already being imagined and implemented on the ground' David Schlosberg, Professor, University of Sydney'A splendid book co-produced by an impressive international group of academics and activists ... Optimistic and inspiring' Joan Martinez-Alier, Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaThe climate crisis is the greatest existential threat humanity faces today. The need for a radical societal transformation in the interests of social justice and ecological sustainability has never been greater. But where can we turn to find systemic alternatives?From India, Turkey, Belgium and Lebanon, to Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela and Canada, Just Transformations looks to local environmental struggles for the answers. With each case study grounded in the social movements and specific politics of the region in question, this volume investigates the role that resistance movements play in bringing about sustainable transformations, the strategies and tools they utilize to overcome barriers, and how academics and grassroots activists can collaborate effectively.The book provides a toolkit for scholar-activists who want to build transformative visions with communities. Interrogating each case study for valuable lessons, the contributors develop a conceptualization of a just transformation that focuses on the changes that communities themselves are trying to produce.Dr Iokiñe Rodríguez is an Associate Professor on Environment and Development based at the School of Global Development at the University of East Anglia. Dr Leah Temper is an ecological economist, scholar activist and environmental health campaigner currently based at the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.

This exploration of the relationship between gender and ecology brings together around 50 emerging and established artists across the fields of photography and film. Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries to the politics of care, this book looks at environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle. A culturally diverse selection of works by Laura Aguilar, melanie bonajo, Xaviera Simmons, Minerva Cuevas, Barbara Kruger, Nadia Huggins, Ana Mendieta, Sim Chi Yin, Pamela Singh, Francesca Woodman and others are presented alongside works of an activist nature to demonstrate how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet. Amplifying these visions are illuminating essays by experts in the field, including Professor Kathryn Yusoff, Professor Astrida Neimanis, Professor Catriona Sandilands and Professor Elizabeth DeLoughrey, that consider a diverse range of timely topics such as hydrofeminism, the body as earth, queer ecologies, and environmental racism. Together these texts and important artworks reveal how the oppression of women, feminized bodies and indigenous, Black and trans communities and the degradation of the planet are inextricably linked - and the ways in which understanding our environment can resist and overcome the logic of capitalist economies.

In diesem Buch werden Strategien zur Verbesserung der Widerstandsfähigkeit und des Schutzes der gemäßigten Wälder in Südamerika vorgeschlagen, damit diese Wälder auf nachhaltige Weise Ökosystemleistungen erbringen können. Als solches trägt es zum Entwurf eines widerstandsfähigen Mensch-Wald-Modells bei, das die Multikulturalität lokaler Gemeinschaften berücksichtigt und in vielen Fällen Aspekte der ökologischen Ökonomie, der Entwicklungsökonomie und der territorialen Entwicklungsplanung einbezieht, die mit indigenen Völkern oder ¿First Nations¿ zu tun haben. Darüber hinaus werden Vorschläge für öffentliche und territoriale Politiken unterbreitet, die den Erhaltungszustand der einheimischen Wälder und Waldökosysteme verbessern, und zwar auf der Grundlage einer kritischen Analyse der wirtschaftlichen Faktoren, die zur Degradierung der Waldökosysteme im heutigen Südamerika führen.Dieses Buch wurde von Mitgliedern des Transdisziplinären Forschungszentrums für soziale und ökologische Strategien zur nachhaltigen Waldbewirtschaftung in Südamerika an der Universidad Austral de Chile konzipiert. Es enthält Beiträge von renommierten Forschern aus der ganzen Welt, die die Bereiche Wirtschaft, Ökologie, Biologie, Anthropologie, Soziologie und Statistik miteinander verbinden. Es handelt sich jedoch nicht einfach um eine Sammlung von Arbeiten, die von Autoren aus verschiedenen Disziplinen verfasst wurden. Vielmehr erhebt jedes Kapitel den Anspruch, in sich selbst transdisziplinär zu sein. Dieser Ansatz macht das Buch zu einem einzigartigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung sozialer, betriebswirtschaftlicher und politischer Ansätze in der Waldbewirtschaftung, die dazu beitragen, die Ökosystemleistungen des Waldes zu schützen und nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Dies wiederum kommt den lokalen Gemeinschaften und der Gesellschaft als Ganzes zugute, indem die negativen externen Effekte der Forstwirtschaft verringert und die Zukunftschancen verbessert werden.
