It collects and evaluates wind and wave climate projections under changing climate having design needs and marine safety in focus. Potential impact of projected climate change in met-ocean conditions on ships and offshore structures is discussed and illustrated by an example of the expected wave climate change on tanker design. The monograph is intended for students, researchers and industry based engineers who want a summary of the many studies that have been carried out on climate change effects on wind and waves and their importance for design and operations of ship and offshore structures. The reader needs only a moderate knowledge of marine wind and wave climate to follow the text.SpringerBriefs in Climate Studies,2213-784XStatistics Climate changeQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17020Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth SciencesClimate Change Management and PolicyQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and RiskStatistics .Climate change.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.Climate Change Management and Policy.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.623.812Bitner-Gregersen Elzbieta Mariaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut978301Eide Lars Ingolfauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHørte Torfinnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSkjong Rolfauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996208443803316Ship and Offshore Structure Design in Climate Change Perspective2229512UNISA04791nam 2200529 450 991067435560332120230522180701.0981-19-8368-210.1007/978-981-19-8368-9(MiAaPQ)EBC7207280(Au-PeEL)EBL7207280(CKB)26186224200041(DE-He213)978-981-19-8368-9(EXLCZ)992618622420004120230522d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAfrican Experience in the Application of the Development Aid Effectiveness Principles The Case of Kenya /Daniel Kipleel Borter and Nadeem MalikFirst edition.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.,[2023]©20231 online resource (272 pages)African Histories and Modernities SeriesPrint version: Borter, Daniel Kipleel African Experience in the Application of the Development Aid Effectiveness Principles Singapore : Palgrave Macmillan US,c2023 9789811983672 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Aid Effectiveness, International Policy Transfer and Development and Post-Development Theory -- Chapter 3: The Aid Effectiveness Architecture and Kenya’s Agriculture Sector -- Chapter 4: Aid Effectiveness and Kenya’s Agricultural Policy and Strategy making processes -- Chapter 5: Aid Effectiveness and Perspectives and Practices of Donors -- Chapter 6: Aid and Agriculture Sector in Kenya: a Focus on Major Stakeholders -- Chapter 7: Overall Conclusions.This book analyses the diffusion and implementation of Aid Effectiveness Principles in Kenya’s agricultural sector. Although Aid Effectiveness Principles represent a significant step in aid and development discourse, studies on its implementation remain inadequate, especially in the African context. This book combines the perspectives of the Kenyan government, donor representatives and small-scale farmers. The discussion on Kenya brings in comparative perspectives and, therefore, would have broader relevance to the African region, in general. It highlights a disconnect between the government and farmers concerning the ownership concept, where farmers lack a voice in important policy matters. The book shows that donors have exploited the weaknesses in government responses to interpret The Principles in ways that suit their strategic interests. Consequently, the book argues that the diffusion of Aid Effectiveness Principles has taken the form of symbolic imitation – a form of policy diffusion where the policymakers choose policies for their symbolic value rather than their effectiveness. Dr Daniel Kipleel Borter is a development consultant interested in agricultural sector development in developing countries and previously worked for over 17 years in Kenya’s agricultural sector. Daniel holds PhD in the Anthropology of Development from University of Melbourne, with research interests in aid and development and development policy. He has researched the diffusion of global aid effectiveness policies in agriculture sector programmes in Kenya, donor practices and the aid effectiveness infrastructure. He has also taught development studies courses at Egerton University in Kenya and Australian Catholic University in Melbourne. Dr Nadeem Malik is a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne. He served as Director of the Development Studies Program from 2009-2014 and is currently the Research Director of Anthropology and Development Studies. Before being an academic, he served in the development sector for around 20 years. His primary areas of specialization are Third World development, globalization, gender and development, governance, civil society and the state, decentralization or local governance, project and program management and monitoring and evaluation of development projects, anthropology of development, political anthropology and art/theatre and development.African histories and modernities.AgricultureKenyaAgriculture and stateKenyaEconomic assistanceEvaluationAgricultureAgriculture and stateEconomic assistanceEvaluation.630.606762Borter Daniel Kipleel1337490Malik NadeemMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910674355603321African Experience in the Application of the Development Aid Effectiveness Principles3056969UNINA
