In 1945, it was the world’s preeminent imperial power with global interests. By 1975, Britain languished in political stasis and economic recession, clinging to its alliance with the United States and membership in the European Community. Amid this turmoil, British intellectuals struggled to make sense of their country’s decline and the transformed world in which they found themselves. This book assesses their responses to this predicament and explores the different ways British thinkers came to understand the new international relations of the postwar period.publicHistoryBritishPoliticsGreat BritainEuropePolitical ScienceDilemmas of Declinemonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt325303qz2013-12-18T23:27:46Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/325303qzFullagar, Kateauthor2012-11-01In eighteenth-century Britain, the appearance of “savages” from the New World provoked intense fascination.

While imperial population control failed to achieve its goals, British institutions and experts would be central to the development of postcolonial population programs. Researchers, scholars, and historians of British history will gain greater perspective into the effects of demography on imperial governance and colonial and postcolonial British views of their place in the world.publicBritish HistoryPostcolonial StudiesEuropeGreat BritainA Problem of Great Importance: Population, Race, and Power in the British Empire, 1918-1973monographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3xr9f9dk2013-12-05T23:46:30Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3xr9f9dkSuh, Serk-Baeauthor2013-10-01This book examines the role of translation—the rendering of texts and ideas from one language to another, as both act and trope—in shaping attitudes toward nationalism and colonialism in Korean and Japanese intellectual discourse between the time of Japan’s annexation of Korea in 1910 and the passing of the colonial generation in the mid-1960s.

In response to the French revolution and British radicalism, political propagandists adopted a scientific vocabulary and medical images for their own purposes. New ideas about anatomy and pathology, sexuality and reproduction, cleanliness and contamination, and diet and drink migrated into politics in often startling ways, and to significant effect. These ideas were used to identify individuals as normal or pathological, and as “naturally” suitable or unsuitable for public life. This migration has had profound consequences for how we measure the bodies, practices and abilities of public figures and ourselves.publicEnglishBritishLiterary StudiesLiterary CriticismHistoryEuropeEuropeanIrishScottishWelshGreat BritainPathological Bodiesmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8mq6q2c02013-12-05T23:45:06Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8mq6q2c0Chen, Jack Wauthor2013-10-01Gossip and anecdote may be “idle talk,” but they also serve to knit together individuals in society and to provide the materials through which literary culture and historical memory are constructed.

G.author2002-07-15Transboundary natural resources pose particular problems for the international community, and the community of African States presents no exception. The peaceful management and utilization of these resources is a universal aspiration, but the principles and norms governing international cooperation over natural resources are often just as contested as the ownership of the resource itself. In Part One, the emergent practices, norms and principles applicable to transboundary freshwater and petroleum are reviewed, along with the possibility of further development of these norms through the current mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on Shared Natural Resources, Ambassador Chusei Yamada. The history of the UN Convention on the Law of Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses is reviewed, with an emphasis upon the foundational principles which it contains. The emergence of the petroleum Joint Development Agreement is also analyzed, again emphasizing the fundamental norms of cooperation upon which this practice has been built. Part Two addresses the specific example of the Nile River Basin, examining theories of distributive justice in the light of State practice in the Nile River Basin to date. A vision of distributive justice and state action is advanced, drawing on the theoretical bases of literature regarding the morality of states, and cosmopolitanism. A combination of pragmatic and theoretical perspectives permits the development of recommendations for future action by States engaged in the Nile Basin Initiative, for the common good.publictransboundary resourcesenvironmental policytransnational governanceinternational lawinternational cooperationNile Riverdistributive justiceAfricaCommon Goods and the Common Good: Transboundary Natural Resources, Principled Cooperation, and the Nile Basin Initiativemonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6q8147tq2013-12-05T22:23:11Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6q8147tqZuhur, Sherifaauthor2002-07-15This chapter provides an overview of the effects of research on women and gender in the Islamic world, as it relates to the study of Islamism (Muslim fundamentalism, or political Islam), and Islamization.

The essays in this volume add enormously to the documentation of what late-period Chinese art learned from Japan, and begin to formulate conclusions that will enrich future accounts of both Japanese and Chinese art.” James Cahill, University of California, BerkeleyThe modern histories of China and Japan are inexorably intertwined. Their relationship is perhaps most obvious in the fields of political, economic, and military history, but it is no less true in cultural and art history. Yet the traffic in artistic practices and practitioners between China and Japan remains an understudied field. In this volume, an international group of scholars investigates Japan’s impact on Chinese art from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1930s. Individual essays address a range of perspectives, including the work of individual Chinese and Japanese painters, calligraphers, and sculptors, as well as artistic associations, international exhibitions, the collotype production or artwork, and the emergence of a modern canon.Joshua A.

In this gripping account of welfare’s postcolonial history, Jordanna Bailkin throws the archives wide open and invites us to walk through them with new eyes—and with renewed appreciation for the intimate connections between empire and metropole in the making of contemporary Britain. The Afterlife of Empire challenges us to reimagine how we think and teach the twentieth century in Britain and beyond.” Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign“A brilliant contribution to the history of twentieth-century Britain. It does what no other book has done: narrating the end of empire and the rise of the postwar welfare state together, while placing the stories of ordinary people—children, adolescents, parents, husbands, and wives—at the heart of this account. With this book, Bailkin transforms our understanding of how some of the most critical issues of twentieth-century British history were not just perceived, but lived.” stephen j. brooke, York UniversityThe Afterlife of Empire investigates how decolonization transformed British society in the 1950s and 1960s. Although usually charted through diplomatic details, the empire’s collapse was also a personal process that altered everyday life, restructuring routines and social interactions. Using a vast array of recently declassified sources, Jordanna Bailkin recasts the genealogy and geography of welfare by charting its unseen dependence on the end of empire, and illuminates the relationship between the postwar and the postimperial.Jordanna Bailkin is Giovanni and Amne Costigan Professor of History and Professor of History and Women’s Studies at the University of Washington.Berkeley Series in British Studies, 4https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/EmpireColonialismPostcolonialismWelfareDiasporaBritainMigrationThe Afterlife of Empiremonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4zp9f66p2013-03-23T03:16:35Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4zp9f66pStevenson, Hayleyauthor2013-01-01“Presents a compelling and novel argument: that collective efforts to combat climate change have actually contributed to less sustainable modes of industrial growth. Much work has looked at the details of national and international climate change policy, but no one has addressed whether any of this effort is likely to make a real difference, and what the broader factors are that account for policy changes. . . . Will be attractive both for scholars of climate change and for policy makers.” Peter Haas, University of Massachusetts, AmherstClimate change is a global phenomenon that requires a global response, and yet climate change governance depends on the ability of individual states to respond to a long-term, uncertain threat. Although states are routinely criticized for their inability to respond to such threats, the problems that arise from their attempts to respond are frequently overlooked. Focusing on the experiences of India, Spain, and Australia, Hayley Stevenson shows how these countries have struggled to integrate global norms around climate change governance with their own deeply unsustainable domestic systems, leading to profoundly irrational ecological outcomes.Hayley Stevenson is Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Sheffield.Studies in Governance, 1https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/Climate changeGlobal warmingSpainIndiaAustraliaNormsGovernanceInstitutionalizing Unsustainability: The Paradox of Global Climate Governancemonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5626s1fw2013-01-30T23:33:22Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5626s1fwTusan, Michelleauthor2012-11-01“Set against one of the most horrible atrocities of the early twentieth century, the ethnic cleansing of Western Anatolia and the burning of the city of Izmir, Smyrna’s Ashes is an important contribution to our understanding of how humanitarian thinking shaped British foreign and military policy in the Late Ottoman Eastern Mediterranean. Based on rigorous archival research and scholarship, well written, and compelling, it is a welcome addition to the growing literature on humanitarianism and the history of human rights.” Keith David Watenpaugh, University of California, Davis“Tusan shows vividly and compassionately how Britain’s attempt to build a ‘Near East’ in its own image upon the ruins of the Ottoman Empire served as prelude to today’s Middle East of nation-states.” Peter Mandler, University of Cambridge“Traces an important but neglected strand in the history of British humanitarianism, showing how its efforts to aid Ottoman Christians were inextricably enmeshed in imperial and cultural agendas and helped to contribute to the creation of the modern Middle East.” Dane Kennedy, The George Washington University“An original and meticulously researched contribution to our understandings of British imperial, gender, and cultural history. Smyrna’s Ashes demonstrates the long-standing influence of Middle Eastern issues on British self-identification. Tusan’s conclusions will engage scholars in a variety of fields for years to come.” Nancy L. Stockdale, University of North TexasToday the West tends to understand the Middle East primarily in terms of geopolitics: Islam, oil, and nuclear weapons. But in the nineteenth century it was imagined differently. The interplay of geography and politics found definition in a broader set of concerns that understood the region in terms of the moral, humanitarian, and religious commitments of the British empire. Smyrna’s Ashes reevaluates how this story of the “Eastern Question” shaped the cultural politics of geography, war, and genocide in the mapping of a larger Middle East after World War I.Michelle Tusan is a professor of history at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.Berkeley Series in British Studies, 5https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/Near EastMiddle EastArmeniaBulgariaBritainHumanitarianismGenocideOttoman EmpireImperialismSmyrna's Ashes: Humanitarianism, Genocide, and the Birth of the Middle Eastmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2fd5v9cc2012-11-26T08:22:02Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2fd5v9ccBarraclough, Ruthauthor2012-06-15“In this highly original work, Ruth Barraclough makes it absolutely clear that marginalized and degraded forms of literary expression, like those in which the factory girl figures, are fundamental to the definition and self-understanding of working women’s subjectivity. Written in a lively and highly accessible style, her book will be of great value to scholars of Korea but also a broad array of literary critics, social and labor historians, and women’s studies scholars.” Paula Rabinowitz, author of Labor and Desire: Women’s Revolutionary Fiction in Depression America
“Bringing together labor history and literary criticism in the most innovative ways, Factory Girl Literature admirably explores cultural and literary representations to illuminate a complex subject that would be inaccessible via more conventional sources. Barraclough astutely illustrates how the crucial matrix of sexuality and the experience of various kinds of violence was an integral and constitutive dimension of the history of industrializing Korea. . . .

As millions of women and girls left country towns to generate Korea’s manufacturing boom, the factory girl emerged as an archetypal figure in twentieth-century popular culture.

Essays investigate ritual specialists, body cultivation and meditation traditions, monasticism, new religious movements, state-sponsored institutionalization, and transnational networks.“This pioneering work not only explores the ways in which Daoism was able to adapt and reinvent itself during China’s modern era, but sheds new light on how Daoism helped structure the development of Chinese religious culture.

“A powerful, probing account of the idea of the ‘Han Chinese’—that deceptive category which, like ‘American,’ is so often presented as a natural default, even though it really is of recent vintage. . . . A feast for both Sinologists and comparativists everywhere.” Magnus Fiskesjö, Cornell University“This collection of trenchant, penetrating essays interrogates what it means to be ‘Han’ in China, both historically and today. It will make a valuable and enduring contribution to our understanding of the uniqueness and complexity of Chinese history and culture. Dru Gladney, Pomona CollegeConstituting over ninety percent of China's population, Han is not only the largest ethnonational group in that country but also one of the largest categories of human identity in world history. In this pathbreaking volume, a multidisciplinary group of scholars examine this ambiguous identity, one that shares features with, but cannot be subsumed under, existing notions of ethnicity, culture, race, nationality, and civilization.Thomas S.

I know of no other source devoted exclusively to the topic of Chinese women’s biographies, and I am confident that this book will have a ready audience in the China field and beyond.” Paul Ropp, Clark University“In addition to Liu Xiang’s Lienü zhuan, the Urtext of Chinese women’s biography, this rich trove of essays explores previously unexamined biographical genres and mines literary texts for their biographical potential. It will be of great value to scholars interested in women’s history, life-writing, and biography, both in the China field and in comparative contexts.” Grace S. Fong, McGill UniversityThis volume develops new strategies for reading, contextualizing, and interpreting the long Chinese tradition of women’s biography. Drawing upon a vast array of sources—from formal biography to poetry, letters, and oral interviews—the authors examine how women’s biography served particular cultural, political, and world-making projects, and how it illuminates these projects in new ways by highlighting tensions within and between them.Joan Judge is a professor of history and humanities at York University.

Translated by Kim Myung-hwan, Sol June-Kyu,Song Seung-cheol, and Ryu Young-joo, with the collaboration of the author.Paik Nak-chung is one of Korea’s most incisive contemporary public intellectuals. By training a literary scholar, he is perhaps best known as an eloquent cultural and political critic. This volume represents the first book-length collection of his writings in English.Paik’s distinctive theme is the notion of a “division system” on the Korean peninsula, the peculiar geopolitical and cultural logic by which one nation continues to be divided into two states, South and North. Identifying a single structure encompassing both Koreas and placing it within the framework of the contemporary world-system, Paik shows how this reality has insinuated itself into virtually every corner of modern Korean life.“A remarkable combination of scholar, author, critic, and activist, Paik Nak-chung carries forward in our time the ancient Korean ideal of marrying abstract learning to the daily, practical problems of the here and now. In this book he confronts no less than the core problem facing the Korean people since the mid-twentieth century: the era of national division, of two Koreas, an anomaly for a people united across millennia and who formed the basic sinews of their nation long before European nation-states began to develop.” Bruce Cumings, from the forewordPaik Nak-chung is emeritus professor of English literature at Seoul National University.

This collection by leading ethnographers moves beyond the rhetoric of African crisis to theorize people's everyday practices under volatile conditions not of their own making. From Ghanaian hiplife music to the U.S. "diversity lottery" in Togo, from politicos in Côte d'Ivoire to squatters in South Africa, the essays in Hard Work, Hard Times uncover the imaginative ways in which African subjects make and remake themselves and their worlds, and thus make do, get by, get over, and sometimes thrive.publicanthropologysubjectivitycapitalismOther Race, Ethnicity and post-Colonial StudiesSocial and Cultural AnthropologyAfricaComparative StudiesGlobal StudiesHard Work, Hard Times: Global Volatility and African Subjectivitiesmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1tf697pk2011-07-03T22:15:25Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1tf697pkGunn, GilesauthorGutiérrez-Jones, Carlauthor2010-01-15The attempt by the George W. Bush administration to reshape world order, especially but not exclusively after September 11, 2001, increasingly appears to have resulted in a catastrophic “misshaping” of geopolitics in the wake of bungled campaigns in the Middle East and their many reverberations worldwide. Journalists and scholars are now trying to understand what happened, and this volume explores the role of culture and rhetoric in this process of geopolitical transformation. What difference do cultural concepts and values make to the cognitive and emotional weather of which, at various levels, international politics is both consequence and perceived corrective? The distinguished scholars in this multidisciplinary volume bring the tools of cultural analysis to the profound ongoing debate about how geopolitics is mapped and what determines its governance. The volume includes essays by Eileen Boris, Richard Falk, Giles Gunn, Mark Juergensmeyer, Lisa Lowe, Simon Ortiz, David Palumbo-Liu, Lisa Parks, Donald Pease, Wade Clark Roof, John Carlos Rowe, Gabriele Schwab, and Ronald Steel.publiccultural studiesnew world orderwar on terrorGlobal StudiesInternational StudiesAmerica and the Misshaping of a New World Ordermonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt89t5v3992011-07-03T22:15:20Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/89t5v399Martínez, Samuelauthor2009-11-15While debate about immigration rages within the United States, people worldwide are moving across national borders with unprecedented intensity. In this timely volume, leading scholars in sociology, anthropology, history, and law examine how the actions of the United States as a global leader are increasing pressures on people to migrate, while simultaneously degrading migrant rights from East Asia to Mexico. Uniting such diverse issues as market reform, drug policy, and terrorism under a common framework of human rights, the book constitutes a call for a new vision on immigration more comprehensive than anything yet imagined in the U.S. immigration debate.

While popular opinion tends to assume that global economic competition produces a “race to the bottom,” virtually all scholars who have examined this issue challenge this claim. Vogel goes a step further, arguing for the existence of a “California effect,” e.g. a “race to the top” or toward stringency. This introductory essay reviews the extensive scholarly literature on this subject and then summarizes and analyzes the contributions of the ten essays in this volume to this debate as well as to the related question of the impact of globalization on regulatory convergence/divergence. On balance, these essays report both continued regulatory divergence as well as movement in the direction of more stringent standards.publicregulationharmonizationCalifornia effectglobalizationenvironmentComparative StudiesDynamics of Regulatory Change: How Globalization Affects National Regulatory Policiesmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt36q6n0wc2011-07-03T10:01:56Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/36q6n0wcSy-Quia, Hilary CollierauthorBaackmann, Susanneauthor2000-01-01publicConquering Women: Women and War in the German Cultural Imaginationmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8mp053352011-07-03T09:59:41Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8mp05335Evans, Peterauthor1997-01-01publicComparative StudiesGlobal StudiesInternational StudiesState-Society Synergy: Government and Social Capital in Developmentmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt13x9v6ms2011-07-03T09:58:59Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/13x9v6msLeonard, David K.author2003-08-27publicAfricaAfrica's Changing Markets for Health and Veterinary Services: The New Institutional Issuesmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt59n2d2n12011-07-03T09:58:16Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/59n2d2n1Szanton, David Lauthor2002-01-01publicarea studiesdisciplineinstitutionComparative StudiesThe Politics of Knowledge: Area Studies and the Disciplinesmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9k55x7f22011-07-03T09:57:53Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9k55x7f2Borrel, Monique Jauthor2005-11-08This article is part of a forthcoming volume The Origins and Evolution of American and French Industrial Societies, by Monique J.

In East Africa and elsewhere in developing countries, small-scale poor farming households often form a critical group in the link between upland natural resource conditions and watershed services. A small-scale pilot study of a sample of 15 hillside farmers located within 200 meters (m) of first order streams or springs in the upper catchment of the River Njoro (UCRN) was designed to explore in-depth farmers’ behavior, knowledge, and perceptions in the larger context of emerging watershed management issues. Blending qualitative social science approaches and quantitative biophysical and economic assessment, the research sought to answer the following questions: How do farmers in the UCRN view and manage soil and tree resources? What is the potential for the development of integrated agroforestry practices in the UCRN? What does this imply for conservation planners concerned with watershed and environmental services? The typical farming system and soil management practices in the UCRN are detailed, and farmer perceptions of soil fertility and farm productivity presented. Use and perception of local tree and forestry resources by farmers is also described in relation to watershed conservation issues. Combined, these results are used to inform an understanding of the “gaps” between local and scientific knowledge pertinent to watershed managers in the River Njoro, identify constraints to the sustainability of the farming system, and discuss opportunities for development of integrated agroforestry practices. Emerging hypotheses for further research linking farming systems with watershed management in the UCRN are presented, providing insights for environmental planners concerned with the promotion of improved farm and agroforestry systems in the highlands of East Africa.publicagroecologyagroforestryfarming systemsindigenous knowledgeKenyaMauPhosphorous deficiencywatershed managementAfricaLinking Farmer, Forest and Watershed: Agricultural Systems and Natural Resources Management Along the Upper Njoro River, Kenyaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt27p076zk2011-07-02T07:36:46Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/27p076zkZelnik, Reginald E.author1999-01-01publicWorkers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflectionsmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt53p1j36j2011-07-02T07:31:51Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/53p1j36jDougherty, DruauthorAzevedo, Milton M.author1999-01-01publicMulticultural Iberia: Language, Literature, and Musicmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt785560v12011-07-02T07:31:48Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/785560v1Saroyan, MarkauthorWalker, Edward W.author1997-01-01publicMinorities, Mullahs and Modernity: Reshaping Community in the Former Soviet Unionmonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8z59t0x62011-03-19T01:51:48Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8z59t0x6Brysk, AlisonauthorShafir, Gershonauthor2007-10-01Human rights is all too often the first casualty of national insecurity.

Using a wide range of arguments and evidence—historical and comparative, political and social, literary and pop-cultural—John Lie reveals the social and historical conditions that gave rise to Zainichi identity, while simultaneously demonstrating its complex, fractured, even ephemeral nature.Key to understanding Zainichi ideology are, for Lie, the nationalist yearnings it expressed from a condition of diaspora and discrimination. Lie’s nuanced treatment acknowledges both the tragic and triumphant qualities embedded in this formulation, while resisting the essentialism it implies. Rather, he embraces the vicissitudes of the lived experience of Koreans in Japan, shedding light on the vexing topics of diaspora, migration, identity, and group formation.publicJapan Korea minorities sociology discrimination diaspora identityEast AsiaZainichi (Koreans in Japan): Diasporic Nationalism and Postcolonial Identitymonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6034c01b2011-03-19T00:22:38Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6034c01bBergmann, Emilie L.authorHerr, Richardauthor2007-09-01Throughout Spain's tumultuous twentieth century, women writers produced a dazzling variety of novels, popular theater, and poetry.

As the importance of marine conservation came to the international forefront in the 1990s, Tanzania experienced a rapid establishment and expansion of marine parks and protected areas. These efforts were crucial to protecting the country’s marine resource base, but they also had significant implications for the lives and fishing patterns of local artisanal fishermen. Terrestrial protected areas in Tanzania have historically been riddled with conflict and local contestation, bringing about numerous debates on the best ways to involve rural residents in conservation planning efforts to establish new “community-based conservation” initiatives. Because marine protected areas do not have the same conflict-ridden history as terrestrial conservation in Tanzania, marine conservation programs present a new opportunity to pilot innovative techniques to involve local communities in protecting and managing their natural resources. The islands of Zanzibar are home to four community-oriented marine protected areas, each of which is sponsored by an external agency, and each of which involves some form of local community component. However, a number of issues arise when working at the community level, requiring nuanced attention to a variety of local factors. The Menai Bay program in southern Zanzibar provides an excellent example of the complexity of factors involved, which can result in dramatically different village-level responses to a single program. These factors include, but are not limited to, differences in geography and infrastructure, the potential for tourism development and alternative sources of income, pre-existing community structures within each village, and the relationship of conservation program managers to the Zanzibari government. While these factors are complex and difficult to predict, it is essential that conservation programs work to take them into account when trying to establish community-based marine conservation programs that will be sustainable in the long term.publicmarinelocalconservationzanzibarsustainabilitygovernmenttanzaniaAfricaLocal Responses to Marine Conservation in Zanzibar, Tanzaniaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1j45z5t12011-03-18T22:16:18Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1j45z5t1Murphree, Marshallauthor2006-08-09Communal approaches to natural resource management have developed since the 1980s from a relatively untested set of conceptual stances to achieve the status of conventional wisdom in much development discourse. However, communal approaches have also come under attack, both from donor agencies impatient with the lack of evidence of immediate and positive results, and from scholarship in the narrative-counternarrative mode. The topic also has broader significance for the evolution of governance in Africa. What is happening in communal approaches to natural resource management provides in large measure a surrogate picture of elements of this evolution.This article offers a brief and selective survey of the origins, objectives, and limitations of communal approaches to natural resource management, and it offers five characteristics deemed essential for the future development of this body of work.

But oil extraction--both on- and offshore--is a toxic remedy for the country's economic ills, with devastating effects on both the environment and traditional livelihoods. Focusing on the everyday realities of people living in the extraction zones, Kristin Reed explores the exclusion, degradation, and violence that are the fruits of petrocapitalism in Angola.publicoilAngolapolitical ecologygeographyviolenceAfricaInternational StudiesCrude Existence: The Politics of Oil in Northern Angolamonographlocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0fq311pw2011-03-18T21:46:02Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0fq311pwTurner, Robinauthor2006-06-09This paper analyzes the opportunities and tensions generated by efforts to use conservation-based tourism as a catalyst for economic development. By exploring how historical legacies position actors and influence relationships between them, characterizing the nature tourism sector and its logic, and examining how liberalizing states are likely to engage with community-based tourism. I situate community-based nature tourism ventures in a broader political economic context. The paper draws from research on the Makuleke Region of Kruger National Park, South Africa to illustrate how these factors influence prospects for community benefit from protected area tourism. Like many other protected areas in Africa, contemporary dynamics in the Makuleke Region are a product of dispossession, forced removal, and conservation. The Makuleke, who consider the land their ancestral home, were forcibly removed in the late 1960s so that the land could be incorporated into Kruger National Park. They regained title in 1998, and have subsequently pursued economic development through conservation. While co-managing the Region with SANParks, the parastatal that manages all national protected areas, the Makuleke have sought to develop a tourism initiative that will produce economic self reliance and development. In adopting this strategy, the Makuleke are engaging with local, national, and international political economies over which community actors have limited room for maneuver.This case brings three factors to light. First, the legacy of fortress conservation may make it more difficult for community actors to engage with their partners on an equal basis. Second, sectoral attributes of tourism pose special challenges to community based natural resource management initiatives; it is not clear that tourism projects will produce substantial benefits. Third, the coincidence of the shift to community based natural resource management with liberalization and democratization has altered the landscape on which all conservation efforts are situated. The confluence of these factors has created an environment in which state protected areas, community controlled conservation areas, and private game parks are competing for domestic and international tourist revenue. While nature tourism ventures hold substantial economic promise for some communities, tourism is not a panacea. Actors engaged in community based natural resource management initiatives should carefully assess the risks, challenges, and opportunities posed by tourism ventures.publicconservationsouth africaconservationMakuleketourismdevelopmentAfricaCommunities, Conservation, and Tourism-Based Development: Can Community-Based Nature Tourism Live Up to Its Promise?articlelocal
