Emerging Trends in Climate Change Policy: The Role of Adaptation
• James Ford
An examination of climate change adaptation, which recognises that a certain degree of climactic alteration is inevitable, and offers policy solutions that can allow especially vulnerable populations to survive all climactic hazards.
Toxic Trade: International Knowledge Networks & The Development of the Basel Convention
• Jason Lloyd
An exploration of the way epistemic communities provide essential linkages between localised issues with global consequences, such as third-world toxic dumping, and international public policy solutions like the Basel Convention.
Power-Sharing: Lessons from South Africa and Rwanda
• Marisa Traniello
A study of Rwanda and South Africa, two divided societies with radically different outcomes in the mid-1990s; successful power-sharing arrangements led to a peaceful transition from apartheid to a unitary democratic state in South Africa, but in Rwanda, the failure of the Arusha Peace Accords resulted in the genocide of nearly one million ethnic Tutsis.
