Description:
This book reveals the hidden health dangers in many of the seemingly innocent products we encounter every day--a tube of glue in a kitchen drawer, a bottle of bleach in the laundry room, a rayon scarf on a closet shelf, a brass knob on the front door, a wood plank on an outdoor deck. A compelling exposé, written by a physician with extensive experience in public health and illustrated with disturbing case histories, How Everyday Products Make People Sick is a rich and meticulously documented account of injury and illness across different time periods, places, and technologies. It presents a picture not of one exceptional or corrupt industry but rather of how run-of-the-mill manufacturing processes and consumer marketing expose workers and the general public alike to toxic hazards. More troubling still, even when such hazards are recognized, calls for their control are routinely ignored. Written for a wide audience, it offers a critical and disquieting perspective on the relationship between industrial development and its adverse health consequences.
Among the surprisingly common hazards discussed in How Everyday Products Make People Sick: * Glue and rubber cement * Chlorine bleach * Rayon and other synthetic textiles * Welding and other metal fumes * Wood preservatives and * Gasoline additives

High Tech Trash: Digital Devices, Hidden Toxics, and Human Health

Book Description:

The Digital Age was expected to usher in an era of clean production, an alternative to smokestack industries and their pollutants. But as environmental journalist Elizabeth Grossman reveals in this penetrating analysis of high tech manufacture and disposal, digital may be sleek, but it’s anything but clean. Deep within every electronic device lie toxic materials that make up the bits and bytes, a complex thicket of lead, mercury, cadmium, plastics, and a host of other often harmful ingredients. High Tech Trash is a wake-up call to the importance of the e-waste issue and the health hazards involved. Americans alone own more than two billion pieces of high tech electronics and discard five to seven million tons each year. As a result, electronic waste already makes up more than two-thirds of the heavy metals and 40 percent of the lead found in our landfills. But the problem goes far beyond American shores, most tragically to the cities in China and India where shiploads of discarded electronics arrive daily. There, they are “recycled”—picked apart by hand, exposing thousands of workers and community residents to toxics.

As Grossman notes,“This is a story in which we all play a part, whether we know it or not. If you sit at a desk in an office, talk to friends on your cell phone, watch television, listen to music on headphones, are a child in Guangdong, or a native of the Arctic, you are part of this story.” The answers lie in changing how we design, manufacture, and dispose of high tech electronics. Europe has led the way in regulating materials used in electronic devices and in e-waste recycling. But in the United States many have yet to recognize the persistent human health and environmental effects of the toxics in high tech devices. If Silent Spring brought national attention to the dangers of DDT and other pesticides, High Tech Trash could do the same for a new generation of technology’s products.

Book Description:
The reconfiguration of pedagogical practices around the globe has taken on a momentum that an earlier generation might well have considered startling and disorientating. Many still working in the education and training arenas do experience a high degree of disorientation and dislocation. With different pedagogic practices come different ways of examining them and fresh understanding as to their assumptions and implications. It is the examination of these changes and developments that is the subject of this book. Central to this examination is the notion of ‘space’. Spatial metaphors are central to many discussions of pedagogy. Space has also been given greater significance in discussions of social theory informed by strands of postmodern, feminist and postcolonial thinking. The reconfiguration of space-time is also central to debates about the nature, extent and significance of economic, cultural and political forms of globalisation. The intention in this book is to open a space through which glimpses of globalising processes and their significance for education and pedagogy can be discerned and prospects explored.

Postcolonial Politics, the Internet and Everyday Life: Pacific Traversals Online

Book Description:
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are now an inescapable part of everyday life as well as an integral element to large scale political-economic change. In this close-up study of pioneering and longstanding Internet discussion forums, M.I. Franklin explores the practice of everyday life in cyberspace. The author traces how the online practices and discussions of postcolonial and diasporic communities rearticulate the gendered, political, ethnic and cultural dimensions of daily lives, political and cultural issues on the ground. In a neoliberal global era, however, the possibilities for intercultural and intracultural empowerment emerging through these sorts of Internet uses have to contend with political-economic and sociocultural pressures from all sides. Franklin argues that Pacific traversals in public, open cyberspace trace another possible future for the Internet; more hospitable and equitable than the one being currently put in place by political and economic power-brokers.
This book will be of interest to students of international relations/international political economy, anthropology, cultural studies, science and technology studies.

Interregionalism and International Relations A Stepping Stone to Global Governance?
By Heiner Hanggi
  • Publisher: Routledge
  • Number Of Pages: 364
  • Publication Date: 2005-12-16
  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415360579
  • ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415360579
  • Binding: Hardcover
Download
Book Description:
Over the last two decades, globalization and regionalization have led to the emergence of an increasingly differentiated multi-level system of global governance. One characteristic of this system is the growing level of interaction among regional organization and these interregional relations constitute a novelty in international relations, one that varies greatly in form, in function and in level of institutionalization.
Interregionalism and International Relations is the first attempt to summarize the state of the art in this rich new field of international relations research. It provides a comprehensive, theory-guided introduction into the numerous facets of this new phenomenon. Following a theoretical explanation and a typology of interregional relations, subsequent parts of the book examine key contacts between major world regions such as Asia and American, Asia and Europe, America and Europe, and Africa and Europe. This book also presents comparative analysis and borderline cases that transcend the standard manifestations of interregionalism.
With high-level contributors noted for their expertise in international relations and their expertise in interregion relations, this volume will appeal to political science scholars, diplomats and those with an interest in global and regional diplomacy.

Critical Theories, International Relations and ‘the Anti-Globalisation Movement’ The Politics of Global Resistance

Book Description:
With this book, Catherine Eschle and Bice Maiguashca make an important intervention in the contemporary debates on critical IR theory and the implications for concrete 'anti-globalisation' politics. In our view, their provocative and stimulating book will mark a departure from IR and IPE accounts of 'anti-globalisation' that take the theory and empirical realities as a given. Motivated by a desire to explore the intersection of critical theory and anti-globalisation practices, this book draws together insights from approaches as diverse as Marxism, Gramscian theory, feminism, poststructuralism, constructivism and postcolonialism. As such, the perspectives on power and movement that are taken in the volume cannot be easily captured under a single rubric. Eschle and Maiguascha have sought to engage their authors in an ongoing dialogue that stimulates open debate, rather than closing down possible insights into the anti-globalisation movement. Indeed, the reader will find that there are many more questions raised and explored than definitively answered in this volume. What does it mean to be 'antiglobalisation'? Is it possible to identify a singular entity we might call the 'anti-globalisation movement'? How can we best understand the politics of movement in an era of globalization? Who speaks, and who is silenced in international relations and international political economy accounts of power and resistance?

The Logic of Internationalism: Coercion and Accomodation

  • Binding: Hardcover

Book Description:
This book examines this controversial topic of internationalism and discusses whether such a view is realistic or whether international relations are typically characterized by tension and war.
A theory of internationalism is outlined and is shown to have two dimensions: one coercive (to enforce the rules and decisions of international institutions) and one accommodative (to avoid confrontation by means of mutual understanding and compromise). Problematic features of the theory are then considered in detail: the assumption that all international cooperation tends to inhibit war, and the tension inherent in the joint pursuit of coercion and accommodation.

During the twentieth century, formal links between governments have become much more intense, reflecting a growing emphasis on internationalism and the world community. There has been a multi-layered transformation in the relations between states, at both a social and a diplomatic level. This has resulted in, amongst other changes, an increase in the number of international organisations and collective security arrangements and an expansion in international law. This text examines closely the developmentof this phenomenon, from its roots before the founding of the League of Nations in 1919 to its present day forms.

International Relations and the Problem of Difference (Global Horizons)

  • Publisher: Routledge
  • Number Of Pages: 288
  • Publication Date: 2004-12-30
  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415946387

  • Binding: Paperback
Download
Book Description:
This work developed out of the growing sense that International Relations as a discipline does not assess the quality of cultural interactions that shape, and are shaped by, the changing structures and processes of the international system. IR has long had little to say about the motivations of individuals, about the interactions of communities, or about the role of identity. Inayatullah and Blaney re-imagine IR as a uniquely placed site for the study of differences. They suggest that IR might be organized explicitly around the exploration of the relation of wholes and parts and sameness and difference.
