Although foreign investment in the region has risen, Asia's increasing role in the global economy is a challenge to Latin America's competitiveness. At the same time, Translatina firms - Latin American trans-national companies - continue to grow in capital and influence.This original collection explores the tensions between the strategic HRM policies demanded by global competition and local approaches rooted in Latin American cultural values.

Knowledge of climate hazard dynamics is critical since the impacts of climate change, population growth, development projects and migration affect both the impact and severity of disasters. Current global events highlight how hazards can lead to significant financial losses, increased mortality rates and political instability. This book examines climate hazard crises in contemporary Asia, identifying how hazards from the Middle East through South and Central Asia and China have the power to reshape our globalised world. In an era of changing climates, knowledge of hazard dynamics is essential to mitigating disasters and strengthening livelihoods and societies across Asia. By integrating human exposure to climate factors and disaster episodes, the book explores the environmental forces that drive disasters and their social implications. Focusing on a range of Asian countries, landscapes and themes, the chapters address several scales (province, national, regional), different hazards (drought, flood, temperature, storms, dust), environments (desert, temperate, mountain, coastal) and issues (vulnerability, development, management, politics) to present a diverse, comprehensive evaluation of climate hazards in Asia. This book offers an understanding of the challenges climate hazards present, their critical nature and the effort needed to mitigate climate hazards in 21st-century Asia. Climate Hazard Crises in Asian Societies and Environments is vital reading for those interested and engaged in Asia's development and well-being today and will be of interest to those working in Geography, Development Studies, Environmental Sciences, Sociology and Political Science. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in hazards, disaster risk, and climate change. 606 $aClimatic changes$zAsia 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aNatural disasters$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects 615 0$aNatural disasters$xSocial aspects 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 676 $a363.738/74095 701 $aSternberg$b Troy$f1959-$0896297 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162821703321 996 $aClimate hazard crises in Asian societies and environments$92002104 997 $aUNINA
