Power and Gender in European Rural Development

Power and Gender in European Rural Development

Since the early 1990s new public and private actors emphasizing issues such as landscape nature environment and food safety have challenged EU rural development policies. This book looks at this innovative framework and in particular the impacts of the interactions between established interests and newcomers in local power relations. Specific attention has been given to the gendered nature of these processes. Case studies from throughout Western Europe analyze local rural power relations and present overviews of the significance of rural gender relations. The book demonstrates that traditional and new forms of social organization in rural areas create new forms of political participation. Changing forms of social capital and political participation not only influence the relation between state and civil society but also male-female relationships. The book argues that the dynamics of these gendered power relations produce competing discourses which can often hinder policy making and implementation. | Power and Gender in European Rural Development

This fascinating and comprehensive volume traces the development scope and character of sociological research in Russia and subsequently the Soviet Union from the turn of the 20th century to the 1990s. Opening with the lively social debates of pre-Revolution Russia Elizabeth Weinberg discusses the intellectual factions of the post-Revolutionary period and the eventual replacement of 'idealism' with 'materialism' leading to the emergence of Soviet sociology in 1956. The book examines the methods of research that were accepted as valid for Marxist research offering a profile of key Soviet sociologists and the research climate in which they operated. It also discusses the main areas of research that predominated in Soviet sociology with separate chapters on two of the most significant: public opinion research and time-budget studies. This fully revised newly updated edition of The Development of Sociology in the Soviet Union concludes with a discussion of the involvement of Soviet sociologists in the processes of perestroika and glasnost and the changing position of sociology from the late 1980s onwards. | Sociology in the Soviet Union and Beyond Social Enquiry and Social Change

Self and Identity The Basics

Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in Social Psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts feelings and behaviours.

It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us and the groups that we belong to affect who we are.

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

This book demonstrates the importance and potential role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in foreseeing and curbing future global pandemics. The reduction of species diversity has increased the risk of global pandemics and it is therefore not only imperative to articulate and disseminate knowledge on the linkages between human activities and the transmission of viruses to humans but also to create policy pathways for operationalizing that knowledge to help solve future problems. Although this book has been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic it lays a policy foundation for the effective management or possible prevention of similar pandemics in the future. One effective way of establishing this linkage with a view to promoting planet health is by understanding the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous peoples with a view to demonstrating the significant impact it has on keeping nature intact. This book argues for the deployment of traditional ecological knowledge for land use management in the preservation of biodiversity as a means for effectively managing the transmission of viruses from animals to humans and ensuring planetary health. The book is not projecting traditional ecological knowledge as a panacea to pandemics but rather accentuating its critical role in the effective mitigation of future pandemics. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of traditional ecological knowledge indigenous studies animal ecology environmental ethics and environmental studies more broadly. | Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19
