Cities Demanding the Earth
Current climate change policy is necessary but insufficient. This is because the basic modus operandi – presenting scientific evidence to states for them to take action - misrepresents the complex process of anthropogenic climate change. The ‘anthropo’ bit is neglected in a misconceived supply-side (carbon) interpretation. The key question is, why is there so much demand for this carbon in the first place? This book introduces a demand-side inter…

Approaching disaster management through social learning
Purpose Coping with and adjusting to disruptive challenges has always been a characteristic of human development. Formalisation of this has led to the emergence of a number approaches addressing disruptive challenges. Often formalised practice has a narrow focus. Increasingly complex challenges require a refocus of formalised approaches. Drawing from these approaches, the purpose of this paper is to posit that a greater focus on preparedness thro…
Geographers and geography
We were driven initially to write this Commentary by a sense of exhilaration and exasperation. The exhilaration came from the opportunity to address global issues of climate change through adaptation at the local level, an issue that will be addressed in Copenhagen in December 2009. The sense of exasperation came from an increasingly populist but determinist universalising geography that was determinist in both a physical/biological sense but als…

Politics, history & problems of humanitarian assistance in Sudan
It is increasingly widely recognised that humanitarian assistance is broadly understood in two distinct ways: one is to see it as a part of foreign policy, which is the customary position of donating states; the other is to see it as independent of governments and a matter of relieving suffering without distinction and is embodied in the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross/ Red Crescent family. The present authors argue that any intervention …
Climate change and disaster management
Climate change, although a natural phenomenon, is accelerated by human activities. Disaster policy response to climate change is dependent on a number of factors, such as readiness to accept the reality of climate change, institutions and capacity, as well as willingness to embed climate change risk assessment and management in development strategies. These conditions do not yet exist universally. A focus that neglects to enhance capacity-buildin…
"Theses on Peasantry" Revisited
Relief & rehabilitation in complex emergencies
Since the late 1980s international aid for development has fallen while humanitarian assistance for emergencies has increased. This change of emphasis reflects the collapse of the USSR and consequent political instability in the former Soviet Union, its former satellites and client states. It also reflects donor disillusion with the failure of many development projects. Much humanitarian assistance is delivered in complex emergencies such as in A…
Trying to develop Third World energy policy—the limits of intervention
This paper examines the difficulties in developing energy policy in the Third World. It emphasises that, despite the significant environmental impact of energy it is difficult to develop energy policy. Most significant decisions in the energy field are taken by Ministries of Finance not Ministries of Energy or Environment. The role of energy in production is examined together with the emerging nature of energy markets, with particular reference t…

Redefining the roles of environmental NGOs in Africa
The article summarises issues identified in a study undertaken on behalf of the HIVOS Foundation of the Netherlands and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs Development Division, which included a field study of 45 environmental NGOs in seven African countries. This generated an institutional database to support the aid strategies of the agencies commissioning the research, and forms the basis of an analysis of some of the broader issues co…

Energy and Development in Kenya
Many developing countries have been hard hit by the double "energy crisis" of threatened fuelwood supply and the increasing burden of oil imports. During the last decade energy provision has become a vitally important issue so that energy is now regarded as a basic factor of production ranking in importance with classical components: land, labour and capital. Careful and innovative energy planning has become a necessity for successful development…

An understanding of is fundamental to the manner in which science sees and conducts itself, yet the concept is generally taken for granted. Nature is constituted as an external repository of facts that live according to autonomous natural laws. The nature of natural science is deemed autonomous from human activity while that of social science is seen as socially created. Geography has been particularly resistant to simplistic, contradictory conce…

Land Use and Agricultural Productivity in Zimbabwe
Given a continuation of current trends, with increasing population growth and declining food production, Southern Africa (excluding South Africa) which could nearly feed itself during 1979-81, will be only 64 per cent self-sufficient by the turn of the century. Zimbabwe has a particularly important rôle to play in trying to prevent such a disaster. It is by far the most important exporter of food and cash crops in the region, and has been allocat…

The Macnamara medicine show
The impact of disasters is heaviest upon the poorest classes of the population. We describe here an attempt to present this radical interpretation of disasters by way of theatrical methods. The evolution and content of an educational experiment carried out at the University of East Anglia in November 1976 is described. We conclude that it is essential to include affective learning opportunities in course design

Recession in Africa. Background Papers to the Seminar "Africa - Which Way out of the Recession?." Uppsala, September 1982
In September 1982 a number of researchers and representatives of the Nordic development agencies as well as members of several international organizations were invited to discuss the nature and origin of the "recession" in Sub-Saharan Africa. In preparing the seminar a number of scholars were invited to write background papers. The country case studies and a paper on strategic issues are presented in this volume. By way of an introduction a prese…
