This edited collection makes a timely and distinctive contribution to contemporary debates about strengthening the institutional protection of human rights in the Asia-Pacific region, in the wake of ASEAN's announcement in 2009 of an ASEAN regional human rights mechanism.Drawing together leading scholarly voices, the book focuses on the systemic issue of institutionalising human rights protection in the Asia-Pacific. It critically examines the prospects for deepening and widening the institutionalization of human rights monitoring in the region, challenging the orthodox scepticism about whether Asia is "ready" for stronger institutions. The volume analyses the impediments to institutions, whilst questioning the need for them. The collection provides a range of perspectives on the issues and many of the chapters bring a variety of interdisciplinary insights to bear. As such, the collection will be of interest to a scholarly and student audience in law, as well as to readers in international relations, political science, Asian studies, and human rights"--Provided by publisher.Routledge research in human rights law.Human rightsAsiaHuman rightsPacific AreaNational human rights institutionsAsiaNational human rights institutionsPacific AreaElectronic books.Human rightsHuman rightsNational human rights institutionsNational human rights institutions341.4/8095Nasu Hitoshi477788Saul Ben601338MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461341603321Human rights in the Asia-Pacific region1995560UNINA05992oam 2201045 c 450 991021385640332120260302090207.010.14361/transcript.9783839424988(CKB)3280000000038770(EBL)1914306(SSID)ssj0001335881(PQKBManifestationID)11753729(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001335881(PQKBWorkID)11307078(PQKB)10274845(MiAaPQ)EBC1914306(DE-B1597)395468(OCoLC)892890617(OCoLC)903971664(DE-B1597)9783839424988(MiAaPQ)EBC5494398(MiAaPQ)EBC6695235(Au-PeEL)EBL5494398(OCoLC)885022396(Au-PeEL)EBL6695235(ScCtBLL)7102321b-2ecb-4541-bcc8-e7cd8bb9a022(transcript Verlag)9783839424988(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/30507(Perlego)1796655(oapen)doab30507(EXLCZ)99328000000003877020260302h20142013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAlternative Economies and SpacesNew Perspectives for a Sustainable EconomyHans-Martin Zademach, Sebastian Hillebrand1st ed.Bielefeldtranscript Verlag20142014, c20131 online resource (157 p.)Global StudiesPapers from the study program 'Space - Society - Economy' at the Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt held during the winter term 2011/2012.9783837624984 3837624986 9783839424988 3839424984 Includes bibliographical references.1 CONTENT 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 7 ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIES AND SPACES: INTRODUCTORY REMARKS 9 INTERROGATING ALTERNATIVE LOCAL AND REGIONAL ECONOMIES: THE BRITISH CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT AND POST-BINARY THINKING 23 THE ALTERNATIVE ECONOMY AT THE REGIONAL SCALE?

Goodman, Benjamin Huybrechts, Andrew E.G. Jonas, Roger Lee, Peter North, and Katinka Weber) concerned with alternative modes of economic and social exchange. The cases addressed in these contributions – including credit unions, alternative currencies, sustainable consumption, and social enterprises – deliver valuable insights into how such alternatives are performed at various scales and spaces in relation to and beyond the economic mainstream. In sum, the collection provides vital grounds for both a transition of the economic system towards a more sustainable one, and a reconceptualisation of the economic itself in our scholarly thinking and everyday lives.Besprochen in:http://www.ku.de (2014)»Das Buch zeichnet sich durch eine für Sammelbände ungewöhnliche Kohärenz aus. Es ergänzt Standardwerke aus dem angelsächsischen und französischsprachigen Raum [...] durch seine differenzierten konzeptionellen Perspektiven und sektoralen Beispiele. Es eignet sich daher als hervorragende Einstiegslektüre in ein Themenfeld, das in der Geographie in den nächsten Jahren weiter an Dynamik gewinnen dürfte.«»Insgesamt machen die Beiträge [...] zwei strukturelle Merkmale der Debatte über real mögliche Nachhaltigkeit deutlich: Annäherungen bedürfen in diesem Feld immer einer pluridisziplinären Perspektive – von der Geografie über die Politik bis zu den Ingenieurwissenschaften – und benötigen eine grundlegende Debatte darüber, was das gute Leben im 21. Jahrhundert, noch dazu in einem globalen Maßstab, eigentlich sein soll.«»This book is a welcome addition to the alternative economics literature, and would be helpful for students, academics and practitioners.The book clearly illustrates the complexity and various ethical negotiations facing those of us interested in alternative socio-economic practices.«Global studies (Bielefeld, Germany)Zademach/Hillebrand (eds.), Altern.
