Pricing Carbon Emissions Economic Reality and Utopia

Pricing Carbon Emissions Economic Reality and Utopia

Pricing Carbon Emissions provides an economic critique on the utopian idea of a uniform carbon price for addressing rising carbon emissions exposing the flaws in the economic propositions with a key focus on the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS). After an Executive Summary of the contents the chapters build up understanding of orthodox economics’ role in protecting the neoliberal paradigm. A salient case the ETS is successful in shielding the Business-as-Usual activities of the EU’s industry however this book argues that the system fails in creating innovation for decarbonizing production technologies. A subsequent political economy analysis by the author points to the discursive power of giant fossil fuel and electricity companies keeping up a façade of Cap-and-Trade utopia and hiding the reality of free permit donations and administrative price control concealing financial bills mostly paid by household electricity customers. The twilights between reality and utopia in the EU’s ETS are exposed concluding an immediate end of the system is necessary for effective and just climate policy. The work argues that the proposition of shifting to a global uniform carbon tax is equally utopian. In practice a uniform price applied on heterogeneous cases is not a source of benefits but one of ad-hoc adjustments exceptions and exemptions. Carbon pricing does not induce innovation however assumed by the economic models used by IPCC for advising global climate policy. Thus it is persuasively demonstrated by the author that these schemes are doomed to failure and room and resources need to be created for more effective and just climate politics. The book’s conclusion is based on economic arguments complementing the critique of political scientists. This book is written for a broad audience interested in climate policy eager to understand why decarbonizing progress is slow as it is. It marks a significant addition to the literature on climate politics carbon pricing and the political economy of the environment more broadly.

Broadband Telecommunications and Regional Development

Broadband Telecommunications and Regional Development

Broadband is one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century yet our understanding of its regional impacts remains somewhat rudimentary. Not only are issues of broadband pricing and speed relevant in this context but the overall quality of service for broadband can often dictate its impacts on regional development. This book illuminates the regional impacts of this pervasive and important technology. The principle aim of this book is to deepen our understanding of broadband and its connections to regional development. First it uses a geospatial lens to explore how the relationship between broadband and regional development influences access to technology platforms dictates provision patterns and facilitates the shrinkage of space and time in non-uniform and sometimes unexpected ways. Second it book provides a comprehensive guide that details the strengths and weaknesses of publically available broadband data and their associated uncertainties allowing regional development professionals and researchers to make more informed decisions regarding data use analytical models and policy recommendations. Finally this book is the first to detail the growing importance of broadband to digital innovation and entrepreneurship in regions. This book will be of interest to regional development professionals and researchers in economics public policy geography regional science and planning. | Broadband Telecommunications and Regional Development

Race Religion and the ‘Indian Muslim’ Predicament in Singapore

Race Religion and the ‘Indian Muslim’ Predicament in Singapore

Indian Muslims form the largest ethnic minority within Singapore’s otherwise largely Malay Muslim community. Despite its size and historic importance however Singaporean Indian Muslims have received little attention by scholarship and have also felt side-lined by Singapore’s Malay-dominated Muslim institutions. Since the 1980s demands for a better representation of Indian Muslims and access to religious services have intensified while there has been a concomitant debate over who has the right to speak for Indian Muslims. This book traces the negotiations and contestations over Indian Muslim difference in Singapore and examines the conditions that have given rise to these debates. Despite considerable differences existing within the putative Indian Muslim community the way this community is imagined is surprisingly uniform. Through discussions of the importance of ethnic difference for social and religious divisions among Singaporean Indian Muslims the role of ‘culture’ and ‘race’ in debates about popular religion the invocation of language and history in negotiations with the wider Malay-Muslim context and the institutional setting in which contestations of Indian Muslim difference take place this book argues that these debates emerge from the structural tensions resulting from the intersection of race and religion in the public organization of Islam in Singapore. | Race Religion and the ‘Indian Muslim’ Predicament in Singapore

Agnes's Jacket A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness.Revised and Updated with a New Epilogue by the Author

In a Victorian-era German asylum seamstress Agnes Richter painstakingly stitched a mysterious autobiographical text into every inch of the jacket she created from her institutional uniform. Despite every attempt to silence them hundreds of other psychiatric patients have managed to get their stories out or to publish them on their own. Today in a vibrant network of peer-advocacy groups all over the world those with firsthand experience of emotional distress are working together to unravel the mysteries of madness and to help one another recover. Agnes’s Jacket tells their story focusing especially on the Hearing Voices Network (HVN) an international collaboration of professionals people with lived experience and their families and friends who have been working to develop an alternative approach to coping with voices visions and other extreme states that is empowering and useful and does not start from the assumption that such people have a chronic illness. A vast gulf exists between the way medicine explains psychiatric conditions and the experiences of those who suffer. Hornstein’s work helps us to bridge that gulf guiding us through the inner lives of those diagnosed with schizophrenia bipolar illness depression and paranoia and emerging with nothing less than a new model for understanding one another and ourselves. | Agnes's Jacket A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness.

Small and Medium Enterprises in India Infirmities and Asymmetries in Industrial Clusters

Small and Medium Enterprises in India Infirmities and Asymmetries in Industrial Clusters

Small and medium enterprises (SME) have attracted increasing interest in the last few years and industrialization is no longer seen as a linear way of development. This book analyzes how SME clusters emerge in a developing economy. Using India as a case study it addresses one central question: If growth has largely failed to be inclusive so far and if employing a work force in increasing returns activities through a different trajectory of industrialization is largely dependent upon industrial clusters of small and medium sized firms then what are the structural infirmities and asymmetries that need to be taken into account in the context of framing policies related to industrial clusters? The book identifies the structural infirmities in industrial clusters in India which could be typical to any of the developing countries and sharply in contrast to European success stories. Blending theory and empirical material it provides a middle ground between the two extremes of a uniform policy assuming ‘one size fits all’ and a specific policy based on individual cases. The book redraws the broad contours where space and production processes mutually constitute each other giving rise to outcomes somewhat generic to underdevelopment. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of economics business administration/ management and development economics. | Small and Medium Enterprises in India Infirmities and Asymmetries in Industrial Clusters

Filmed School Desire transgression and the filmic fantasy of pedagogy

Filmed School Desire transgression and the filmic fantasy of pedagogy

Filmed School examines the place that teaching holds in the public imaginary through its portrayal in cinema. From early films such as Mädchen in Uniform and La Maternelle to contemporary images of teaching in Notes on a Scandal and The History Boys teachers’ roles in film have been consistently contradictory portraying teachers as both seducers and selfless heroes social outcasts and moral models contributing to a similarly divided popular understanding of teachers as both salvific and sinister. In this book Stillwaggon and Jelinek present these contradictory images of teaching through the concept of transference—the fantastical belief in another’s knowing that founds a teacher’s authority in relation to her students and to some degree the public at large. Tracing the place of transference across a century of school films each chapter demonstrates the persistence of this fantasy in one of the dreams or nightmares of teaching that recurs thematically in school films: the teacher-as-savior seducer signifier in a moribund discourse and sacrificial object. Through these analyses the authors suggest that something might be missing in our attempts to theorize education when we leave our unthought fantasies of teaching out of the picture. This book will be of key interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of educational theory teacher education philosophy of education film and media studies psychoanalysis sociology of education curriculum studies and cultural studies. | Filmed School Desire transgression and the filmic fantasy of pedagogy
