It addresses the sizing of France’s nuclear forces technological assistance to countries with nuclear weapons programs uranium prospection nuclear testing its health effects and protests against it as well as plans to prevent and manage accidents in nuclear power plants. It is based on new questions and new sources from France and abroad. The chapters in this volume show how independent and interdisciplinary scholarship free from conflicts of interests can uniquely advance our understanding of nuclear history and politics. This is the case because it does not treat the categories and judgments of official discourse as neutral starting points of the analysis. This volume is based on untapped primary sources from France the UK the US India South Africa and Iran on a new assessment of the health consequences of French nuclear testing in Polynesia thanks to a modern atmospheric particle transport code coupled with historical weather data open-source information about radioactive debris (“mushroom”) clouds as well as data on the composition and particle sizes of the fallout; and on new survey data about French knowledge of and attitudes towards nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. They show notably that the first generation of French nuclear forces lacked technical credibility despite reliance on outside help. Several French officials knew this as did France's allies and adversaries. Moreover French strategic collaborations associated to nuclear programs extended to India and South Africa; nuclear safety regulations changed fundamentally after the Cold War and approximately 110 000 people i. e. 90% of the French Polynesian population in the 1970s could have received doses that would qualify them for compensation according to French law.

Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Originally published in 2004. Local knowledge reflects many generations of experience and problem solving by people around the world increasingly affected by globalizing forces. Such knowledge is far more sophisticated than development professionals previously assumed and as such represents an immensely valuable resource. A growing number of governments and international development agencies are recognizing that local-level knowledge and organizations offer the foundation for new participatory models of development that are both cost-effective and sustainable and ecologically and socially sound. This book provides a timely overview of new directions and new approaches to investigating the role of rural communities in generating knowledge founded on their sophisticated understandings of their environments devising mechanisms to conserve and sustain their natural resources and establishing community-based organizations that serve as forums for identifying problems and dealing with them through local-level experimentation innovation and exchange of information with other societies. These studies show that development activities that work with and through local knowledge and organizations have several important advantages over projects that operate outside them. Local knowledge informs grassroots decision-making much of which takes place through indigenous organizations and associations at the community level as people seek to identify and determine solutions to their problems. | Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Museums and Restitution New Practices New Approaches

Museums and Restitution New Practices New Approaches

This book examines contemporary approaches to restitution from the perspective of museums. It focuses on the ways in which these institutions have been addressing the subject at a regional national and international level. In particular it explores contemporary practices and recent claims and investigates to what extent the question of restitution as an issue of ownership is still at large or whether museums have found additional ways to conceptualise and practice restitution by thinking beyond the issue of ownership. The challenges benefits and drawbacks of recent and current museum practice are explored. At the same time the book discusses how these museum practices are received and informed by source communities institutional and governmental agendas and visitors' expectations in order to explore issues of authority collaboration and shared or conflicting values between the different communities involved in the process. This important book will contribute to the developing body of literature that academics professionals policy makers and students can refer to in order to understand how restitution has been negotiated 'materialised' practiced and evaluated within museums. | Museums and Restitution New Practices New Approaches
