Extractive Bargains

Extractive Bargains

This book is the first to focus on state-led ‘extractive bargains,’ designed to reach a social consensus on the extent of extractive activities, how they should be governed and their negative consequences mitigated. These state-led ‘bargains’ have taken a number of different forms and offer varying degrees of promise in meeting environmental and social concerns.

The Garden / Der Garten

The Garden / Der Garten

1963 schrieb Paul Bowles (1910–1999) im malerischen Städtchen Asilah an der Atlantikküste von Marokko die Short Story The Garden. Sie spielt in einem kleinen Dorf am Rand einer Oase in der Sahara. Ein Mann arbeitet still und zufrieden in seinem der Wüste mittels Wassergräben abgerungenen Garten und bewundert oft bis nach Sonnenuntergang dessen Schönheit.
