The Autumn Statement 2022 comes at a time of significant economic challenge for the UK and global economy. Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine has contributed to a surge in energy prices, driving high inflation across the world. Central banks are raising interest rates to get inflation under control, which has pushed up the cost of borrowing for families, businesses and governments. Growth is slow…

Wildlife in tropical forests is a main source of livelihoods, and the ‘empty forest syndrome’ can have direct negative impacts on the health and well-being of forest dependent communities. The bushmeat crisis therefore reminds us of humankind’s dependence on biodiversity: the disappearance of wildlife from our forests is also a serious threat to the cultural and spiritual identity of many…

In 1850, an epidemic swept America—but instead of leaving victims sick with fever or flu, this epidemic involved a rabid craze for the music of Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. American showman P. T. Barnum (who would later go on to found the circus now known as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey), a shrewd marketer and self-made millionaire, is credited with spreading “Lindomania” through a s…
In practice, Jokowi has experienced a number of domestic and foreign policy troubles. In 2015 the economy slipped to its lowest levels since 2009, in a year characterized by a continuation of falling global commodity prices, deceleration in China, a strengthening USD and a depreciating IDR. This resulted in a decline in domestic consumption, the main driver of Indonesia’s economic growth. A n…

Mental health is more than the mere lack of mental disorders. The positive dimension of mental health is stressed in WHO’s definition of health as contained in its constitution: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Concepts of mental health include subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy…
Heritage comes in many shapes—in tangible forms such as sites, buildings, landscapes, or as intangibles, like memories, emotions, values and customs—as does the use of heritage, ranging from the purpose of building nations to marketing places.

From as early as 2003 consideration was being given to the development of a transboundary nomination for the Silk Roads (Jing & van Oers 2004). A series of sub-regional workshops were then developed, in Almaty in November 2005, Turfan in August 2006, Samarkand in October 2006 (UNESCO 2006), Dushanbe in April 2007, Xi’an in June 2008, and Almaty in May 2009 (UNESCO 2009a), all of which culmina…

Recent years have seen a significant number of extraterritorial military interventions. In addition to the persistence of traditional forms of occupation,1 some of these interventions have given rise to new forms of foreign military presence on the territory of a State, sometimes consensual but very often imposed. These new forms of military presence have – to a certain extent – revived oc…

The writer Naomi Mitchison, in a short biography of the pioneer doctor Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, suggests a steam roller as a symbol for the Garrett family.1 This is apt, not only because the Garretts had been making agricultural machinery for generations, but also because some individual Garretts—especially the women—possessed the capacity to drive doggedly over obstacles in pu…

The world’s polar regions are now central to geopolitical and strategic com-petition. Spillover effects from rapid political, social, and environmental change present unprecedented challenges for governance, environmental protection, and maritime operations in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Both geographic areas can be distinguished by specific terms—namely, the “Arctic” and…
Digital media have been responsible for some of the most wide-ranging changes in society over the past quarter-century. At the same time, there is little agreement in the social sciences about how these changes should be understood. One reason is increasing disciplinary specialization. For example, media and communication studies concentrates on specific areas such as the news or influe…
In the past physical walls and fences surrounding territorial space, towns and villages were viewed by ancient nations from a defensive perspective, as a fortification to defend their territorial sovereignty and a rampart to protect themselves from the outside attacks. Dramatic changes in both military doctrine and technology in the last century led to a decline…
I reckon the siren like thunder : threat, distance, relation. The sound is high-pitched, continuous, and mechanical, and I do not recognize it at first. The siren does not warble; its pitch is constant. Suspended in traffic, the ambulance proceeds fitfully next to a Shiva temple and does not move fast enough for me to perceive the wave changes of the Doppler effect. Cars and rickshaws and motor…
This book, Families and Food in Hard Times, is about our world in the second decade of the twenty-first century and how parents living on low incomes in wealthy societies manage to feed their families. Although very different from the world of Dickens, in some respects today’s world mir-rors elements of his time because of the harsh realities of poverty among large sections of t…
he supermarket presents us with a cornucopia of fruit, fish, and meat from near and far. Usually we haven’t thought too much about how it all got there and the fact that we can enjoy fruit from the tropics all year round is something that we usually take for granted. But we are constantly reminded of the perish-ability of these refrigerated and frozen foods. Bananas, for example, …

As the global population and consumer affluence grow, farm-raised shrimp is becoming an increasingly important source of protein around the world. In the US alone, the average annual consumpt…
Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) provide an independent assessment and targeted recommendations aimed at improving policies that impact the environment. Most OECD countries have now been reviewed three times. OECD partner countries, such as Indonesia, Peru and Brazil, have recently been reviewed for the first time. Each EPR is organised in two parts. The first part, common to all review…
This comparative volume advances an argument about the sustained contribu-tion of migrants to Europe’s literatures, social cultures, and arts.Firstly, those named most often by others as “migrants” do not represent a sudden, unprecedented crisis, as pundits and politicians continue to claim, with successive waves of migration. Instead, people arriving in the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, l…
Countries around the world attempt to increase the human capital of their citizens. Currently, education constitutes a large share of the economy in developed countries. The average expenditure on primary and secondary education institutions is about 3.5% of GDP in OECD countries (OECD, 2016). Moreover, investment in education has large implications for economic development, democratic institut…
elonging is that sense of being somewhere you can be confident that you will fit in, a feeling of being safe in your identity and at home in a place. The ‘place’ at the heart of this book is school: one of the few shared social institutions that can create a sense of safety and belonging for young people or a sense of exclusion. Yet across many count…
Indonesia recently passed Law No 8 /2016. This law follows the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities in 2011 and commits the Indonesian government to the eradication of discrimination against people with disabilities and to actively work to support and provide services to this segment of the population. It also espouses the principle that public programs be…
The research for this book started by tracing the rise and fall of a set of programs aimed specifically at women audiences in the early years of public service broadcasting in Australia, Canada, and the UK. In doing so, I uncovered compelling narratives of working lives of the women who produced and spoke on the programs. The individual personalities and collective i…
In 1939 Martinican writer Aimé Césaire first published his book length poem variously translated as Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, Return to My Native Land, or Journal of a Homecom-ing, in which this epigraph appears. As the colonial powers were taking the world into an era of mass destruction, Césaire drew upon a Caribbean imaginary to counterpose to th…
We, entangled humans and nonhumans, are at a critical point in managing environmental degradation, with human-induced environ-mental change occurring on a grand scale. Several environmental problems need urgent attention, including climate change, the sixth great extinction of plants and other animals, and increasing resource depletion in some of the most vuln…
Stories of tax- dodging corporate giants make headlines on a weekly basis. None-theless, governments manage to collect over US$2 trillion in corporate income tax each year, much of it from big multinational businesses.1 This book is about the rules governments have negotiated to divide the tax base among themselves: how they are designed to work, rather than how they are circumvente…
These observations by François-Xavier Fauvelle appear in the introduction to his history of medieval Africa, The Golden Rhinoceros. He notes that one of the challenges of writing such a history is the lack of any such continuity of memory among many of the great cities of sub-Saharan Africa in the period. An example of this is the extraordinary remains of the city known as Great Zim…
