The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Discussion of medieval European expansion tends to focus on expansion eastward and the crusades. The selection of studies reprinted here however focuses on the other end of Eurasia where dwelled the warlike Celts and beyond whom lay the north seas and the awesome Atlantic Ocean formidable obstacles to expansion westward. This volume looks first at the legacy of the Viking expansion which had briefly created a network stretching across the sea from Britain and Ireland to North America and had demonstrated that the Atlantic could be crossed and land reached. The next sections deal with the English expansion in the western and northern British Isles. In the 12th century the Normans began the process of subjugating the Celts thus inaugurating for the English an experience which was to prove crucial when colonizing the Americas in the 17th century. Medieval Ireland in particular served as a laboratory for the development of imperial institutions attitudes and ideologies that shaped the creation of the British Empire and served as a staging area for further expansion westward. | The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Archives of the Black Atlantic Reading Between Literature and History

Archives of the Black Atlantic Reading Between Literature and History

Many African diasporic novelists and poets allude to or cite archival documents in their writings foregrounding the elements of archival research and data in their literary texts and revising the material remnants of the archive. This book reads black historical novels and poetry in an interdisciplinary context to examine the multiple archives that have produced our historical consciousness. In the history of African diaspora literature black writers and intellectuals have led the way for an analysis of the archive querying dominant archives and revising the ways black people have been represented in the legal and hegemonic discourses of the west. Their work in genres as diverse as autobiography essay bibliography poetry and the novel attests to the centrality of this critique in black intellectual culture. Through literary engagement with the archives of the slave trader colonizer and courtroom creative writers teach us to read the archives of history anew probing between the documents for stories left untold questions left unanswered and freedoms enacted against all odds. Opening new perspectives on Atlantic history and culture Walters generates a dialogue between what was and what might have been. Ultimately Walters argues that references to archival documents in black historical literature introduce a new methodology for studying both the archive and literature itself engaging in a transnational and interdisciplinary reading that exposes the instability of the archive's truth claim and highlights rebellious possibility. | Archives of the Black Atlantic Reading Between Literature and History

NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

The main objectives of this book are to analyse the risks and dangers NATO faces in the current strategic environment and to discuss how the alliance can readjust to those challenges. How can NATO adapt to the dangerous combination of a revisionist Russia a reluctant United States and a Europe in crisis? NATO’s relevance and ability to survive have been challenged many times before and it has not only survived but also has proven highly adaptable to change. This has been good for Western cohesion and for the consolidation of the liberal-democratic rules-based world order. The main argument of this book is that NATO can overcome this latest set of challenges as well and retain its central role as a cornerstone of the European and transatlantic security order. NATO is different from other alliances because its members share not only interests but values as well codified in the preamble of the North Atlantic Treaty as allied support for democracy individual liberty and the rule of law. The greatest enemy of the alliance is the forces that challenge the common norms and values of NATO’s member states and – in a larger perspective – the liberal-democratic rules-based world order and Western civilisation itself. The book makes an original contribution to the existing literature on NATO and transatlantic relations and discusses the latest developments within NATO since the Trump administration took office. The book will be of much interest to students of NATO geopolitics security studies and International Relations in general. | NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

During the nineteenth century British and American naval supremacy spanned the globe. The importance of transoceanic shipping and trade to the European-based empire and her rapidly expanding former colony ensured that the ocean became increasingly important to popular literary culture in both nations. This collection of ten essays by expert scholars in transatlantic British and American literatures interrogates the diverse meanings the ocean assumed for writers readers and thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic during this period of global exploration and colonial consolidation. The book’s introduction offers three critical lenses through which to read nineteenth-century Anglophone maritime literature: wet globalization which returns the ocean to our discourses of the global; salt aesthetics which considers how the sea influences artistic culture and aesthetic theory; and blue ecocriticism which poses an oceanic challenge to the narrowly terrestrial nature of green ecological criticism. The essays employ all three of these lenses to demonstrate the importance of the ocean for the changing shapes of nineteenth-century Anglophone culture and literature. Examining texts from Moby-Dick to the coral flower-books of Victorian Australia and from Wordsworth’s sea-poetry to the Arctic journals of Charles Francis Hall this book shows how important and how varied in meaning the ocean was to nineteenth-century Anglophone readers. Scholars of nineteenth-century globalization the history of aesthetics and the ecological importance of the ocean will find important scholarship in this volume. | The Sea and Nineteenth-Century Anglophone Literary Culture

The Economics of Estuary Restoration in South Africa

The Economics of Estuary Restoration in South Africa

This book examines the economic costs and benefits of the ecological restoration of estuaries utilizing case studies from South Africa. Estuaries are important ecosystems from both an ecological and human perspective. Yet in many parts of the world they are often degraded environments facing threats from climate change invasive species fire and wastewater pollution. While the environmental benefits of restoring degraded environments are well discussed this book specifically examines the economic benefits of doing so. It applies a cost-benefit analysis which focuses on a range of key ecosystem services including human health fishing value recreational value and property value. The book utlizes three detailed studies of the Swartkops estuary the Great Brak estuary and the Knysna estuary in South Africa but also draws out lessons that can be applied to coastal environments across the world. Overall this book demonstrates that ecological restoration does pay and that the value of additional ecosystem services gained through restoration far exceeds the costs associated with this restoration process. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental management and restoration ecological economics ecosystem services and environmental conservation. | The Economics of Estuary Restoration in South Africa

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity in National and International Policy Making

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity in National and International Policy Making

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study is a major international initiative drawing attention to local national and global economic benefits of biodiversity to highlight the growing costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation the benefits of investing in natural capital and to draw together expertise from the fields of science economics and policy to enable practical actions. Drawing on a team of more than one hundred authors and reviewers this book demonstrates the value of ecosystems and biodiversity to the economy society and individuals. It underlines the urgency of strategic policy making and action at national and international levels and presents a rich evidence base of policies and instruments in use around the world and a wide range of innovative solutions. It highlights the need for new public policy to reflect the appreciation that public goods and social benefits are often overlooked and that we need a transition to decision making which integrates the many values of nature across policy sectors. It explores the range of instruments to reward those offering ecosystem service benefits such as water provision and climate regulation. It looks at fiscal and regulatory instruments to reduce the incentives of those running down our natural capital and at reforming subsidies such that they respond to current and future priorities. The authors also consider two major areas of investment in natural capital – protected areas and investment in restoration. Overall the book underlines the needs and ways to transform our approach to natural capital and demonstrates how we can practically take into account the value of ecosystems and biodiversity in policy decisions – at national and international levels – to promote the protection of our environment and contribute to a sustainable economy and to the wellbeing of societies. | The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity in National and International Policy Making

Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

Foreword by Adrian Forty. The Algarve is not only Portugal’s foremost tourism region. Uniquely Mediterranean in an Atlantic country its building customs have long been markers of historical and cultural specificity attracting both picturesque driven conservatives and modernists seeking their lineage. Modernism regionalism and the ‘vernacular’ – three essential tropes of twentieth-century architecture culture – converged in the region’s building identity construct and often the subject of strictly metropolitan elaborations they are examined here from a peripheral standpoint instead. Drawing on work that won the Royal Institute of British Architects President’s Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis in 2013 Algarve Building challenges the conventional inclusion of Portuguese modern architecture in ‘Critical Regionalism’ narratives. A fine-grain reconstruction of the debates and cultures at play locally exposes the extra-architectural and widely participated antecedents of the much-celebrated mid-century shift towards the regional. Uncelebrated architects and a cast of other players (clients officials engineers and builders) contributed to maturing a regional strand of modern architecture that more than being the heroic outcome of a hard-fought ‘battle’ by engaged designers against a conservative establishment became truly popular in the Algarve. Algarve Building shows more broadly what the processes that have been appropriated by the canon of architectural history and theory – such as the presence of folk traditions and regional variation in learned architecture – stand to gain when observed in local everyday practices. The grand narratives and petites histoires of architecture can be enriched questioned revised and confirmed by an unprejudiced return to its facts and sources – the buildings the documents the discourses the agents and the archives. | Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

Shaping National Security International Emergency Mechanisms and Disaster Risk Reduction

Shaping National Security International Emergency Mechanisms and Disaster Risk Reduction

Shaping National Security: International Emergency Mechanisms and Disaster Risk Reduction presents international emergency mechanisms relative to disaster risk reduction (DRR). The goal is to share knowledge about existing frameworks and utilize established DRR policies and programs as another means to reinforce and strengthen national security in countries around the world. The book outlines in detail the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) DRR programs. While these entities’ versions of DRR best practices are largely directed at decreasing the impact of disaster hazards limiting relevant exposure local vulnerabilities increasing capacities to cope with disaster the authors present these frameworks as potential tools and effective means to support national security efforts. This is especially important in disaster circumstances when local and national emergency resources may be insufficient to face hazards and multi-hazards and result in cascading effects to occur as hazard events transpire. Chapters present various resources available to them through these programs to encourage authorities from every country to effectively apply the mechanisms—and emergency mechanisms specifically—to offer domestic solutions. Due to these programs proven track records in providing organisational standards the use of such mechanisms can serve as both the basis to foster sound DRR practices and by extension can supplement resiliency security and continuity within countries. This concept is based on the premise that the UNDAC INSARAG NATO and ECPM emergency mechanisms have been developed to be implementable (directly or indirectly) in every country in the world when disasters occur. Shaping National Security takes a big-picture holistic view of DRR and national security to offer innovative ideas and solutions to professionals and officials working in disaster management disaster risk reduction emergency management crisis management civil protection public security management national security criminal justice international studies and homeland security. | Shaping National Security International Emergency Mechanisms and Disaster Risk Reduction

Cost-Benefit Analysis Financial and Economic Appraisal Using Spreadsheets

Now in its third edition Cost-Benefit Analysis has been updated offering readers the perfect introduction to project programme and policy appraisal using basic tools of financial and economic analysis. The key economic questions of any social cost-benefit analysis are: do the benefits of the project or policy exceed the costs no matter how widely costs and benefits are spread and irrespective of whether or not project impacts such as environmental effects are reflected in market prices? And which group or groups of individuals receive the benefits and which bear the costs? This book addresses these questions with an emphasis on putting the theory presented in the book into practice. This third edition has several attractive features: Readers are encouraged to develop their own skills by applying the tools and techniques of cost-benefit analysis to case studies and examples including an analysis of a project which is developed throughout the book.

Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

While the EU has championed effective multilateralism and experienced a dramatic internal reform process to improve its performance in external relations broader multilateral processes have also undergone dramatic change. This Handbook addresses an increasingly contested issue of profound political importance: Europe’s presence in multilateral institutions. It assesses both the evolving role of Europe in international institutions and the transformations in international institutions themselves. Acknowledging that the category of international institutions comprises a highly diverse field of multilateral engagements this Handbook presents a state of the art approach that analyzes both what we have learned about the EU and international institutions as well as identifying promising avenues for further research. The Handbook is divided into six parts: Part I examines the EU’s diplomatic and legal personality in international relations that constitutes the internal foundation for the EU’s engagement with international institutions. Part II assesses how EU multilateralism intersects with other international institutions and provides a means to assess the performance of international institutions as well as the EU itself in multilateral processes. Part III focuses on the EU’s participation with key institutions within the general UN system such as the UN General Assembly and Security Council as well as specific policy domains such as human rights across UN institutions. Part IV focuses on EU relations with wide range of international organizations in a variety of fields from organizations in economic and security realms to environmental institutions and specialized agencies. Part V focuses on the EU’s engagement in a broad spectrum of issue-specific international agreements and international regimes addressing issues such as non-proliferation of WMDs climate change information technology and the emerging Gx-system (G7 G8 G20 etc). Part VI examines broader contextual factors that influence the relationship between the EU and international institutions including the evolution of multilateralism the trans-Atlantic relationship global norms and the emergence of multipolarity. This comprehensive volume brings together scholars and practitioners to summarize and synthesize existing knowledge in the field. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of European politics the EU’s external relations international relations international organizations and international political economy. | Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis. However researchers often lack time and opportunity to communicate these findings to the community and those in charge of managing planning and designing for urban biodiversity. On the other hand urban practitioners frequently ask researchers for more comprehensible information and actionable tools to guide their actions. This book is designed to fill this cultural and communicative gap by discussing a selection of topics related to urban biodiversity as well as its benefits for people and the urban environment. It provides an interdisciplinary overview of scientifically grounded knowledge vital for current and future practitioners in charge of urban biodiversity management its conservation and integration into urban planning. Topics covered include pests and invasive species rewilding habitats the contribution of a diverse urban agriculture to food production implications for human well-being and how to engage the public with urban conservation strategies. For the first time world-leading researchers from five continents convene to offer a global interdisciplinary perspective on urban biodiversity narrated with a simple but rigorous language. This book synthesizes research at a level suitable for both students and professionals working in nature conservation and urban planning and management. | Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice
