The Narmada Dams project is going to be India's greatest man-made environmental disaster. Funded by the World Bank, the project will uproot over a million people, most of them tribals, depriving them of their homes and their livelihood. It will also submerge 350,000 hectares of forest, leading to the extinction of valuable plant species and the mass slaughter of wildlife. The authors, who had access to official documents related to the project, give a detailed study of the dams' impact, and expose the large-scale manipulation and fraud that led to the approval of the project. Also included are exclusive interviews with top officials of the Narmada Valley Development Authority, one of whom has already joined opponents to the dams.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The author of this book contends that the reality of free trade and globalization is impoverishment for growing numbers of people. What is more, the unemployment and marginalization are not confined to the Third World, but also exist in the rich countries and the former Soviet Union. This overview of macroeconomic disaster in the making explains how and why the processes are related. It shows how structures of the global economy have changed fundamentally since the early 1980s, and how the leading international financial institutions, notably the IMF and the World Bank, have forced Third World and Eastern European countries to facilitate these changes. The consequences of the new financial order, as the author's examples from all parts of the world show, is a globalization of poverty Size: 8vo - over 7¾ in. - 9¾ in.Tall. Book.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. First Edition. Signed by Author. The impact of intellectual property rights on the rights of local communities, consumers and the environment has become a major source of controversy. This is especially so after the TRIPS Agreement in the World Trade Organisation facilitated the worldwide patenting of life forms and biological materials, which has given rise to public concerns over the environment, food security, farmers' livelihoods and the rights of indigenous peoples over their knowledge and resources.At the heart of the debate is the increasing misappropriation of traditional knowledge by corporations that are now patenting human genes, plants and other biological materials, many of which exist in nature or have been used for generations by farmers and indigenous peoples. In this book, Martin Khor examines the "biopiracy" phenomenon, its links to the TRIPS Agreement, and its various effects. In particular, he deals with these questions:* What are the implications of TRIPS for traditional knowledge and the rights of local communities?* What tensions exist between the approaches and provisions of TRIPS and the Convention on Biological Diversity?* Should life forms be granted the status of intellectual property, and has TRIPS made patentability of biological materials mandatory?* Will TRIPS endanger the transfer of technologies required by developing countries for their sustainable development?* What are the options for resolving these problems and what is the way forward for each issue?This book provides a useful summary and analysis of the key aspects in this complex and controversial subject, and just as importantly, it describes the processes and debates now taking place in the WTO and other fora, and gives suggestions on how to move ahead on the various issues.
