Zusatztext Climate Change and Displacement ...brings together a wide assortment of disciplinary perspectives on climate-induced displacement...the splendid breadth of ethical, political, legal, economic and scientific perspectives offered is unusual for a law publication. Climate Change and Displacement generally succeeds because of the freshness and ambition of the contributors' approach, the clarity of their ideas, and their stimulation of informed thinking about this increasingly important subject. Although it is a relatively short book, at just 258 pages, it is dense it detail. It is also exceptionally well edited and referenced, and reads easily. As with many books in the Hart Publishing stable, this one should appeal to a wide array of readers, including seasoned scholars, students, policy-makers and others who are interested in the plight of people displaced by climate change. Informationen zum Autor Jane McAdam is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales, a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, Washington DC, and a Research Associate at the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford. Klappentext Environmental migration is not new. Nevertheless! the events and processes accompanying global climate change threaten to increase human movement both within states and across international borders. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted an increased frequency and severity of climate events such as storms! cyclones and hurricanes! as well as longer-term sea level rise and desertification! which will impact upon people's ability to survive in certain parts of the world. This book brings together a variety of disciplinary perspectives on the phenomenon of climate-induced displacement. With chapters by leading scholars in their field! it collects in one place a rigorous! holistic analysis of the phenomenon! which can better inform academic understanding and policy development alike. Governments have not been prepared to take a leading role in developing responses to the issue! in large part due to the absence of strong theoretical frameworks from which sound policy can be constructed. The specialist expertise of the authors in this book means that each chapter identifies key issues that need to be considered in shaping domestic! regional and international responses! including the complex causes of movement! the conceptualisation of migration responses to climate change! the terminology that should be used to describe those who move! and attitudes to migration that may affect decisions to stay or leave. The book will help to facilitate the creation of principled! research-based responses! and establish climate-induced displacement as an important aspect of both the climate change and global migration debates. Zusammenfassung In this book a variety of disciplinary perspectives provide a rigorous, holistic analysis of the phenomenon of climate-induced displacement. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
