Regulating from the Inside Can Environmental Management Systems Achieve Policy Goals

Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) offer an approach to regulatory policy that lies somewhere between free-market and traditional command-and-control methods. Worldwide hundreds of thousands of private firms have adopted or are considering adopting these internally managed systems for improving environmental performance. In the United States the Environmental Protection Agency has established a special recognition for firms that adopt EMSs. Already numerous state agencies have proposed or adopted 'green-tier systems' that allow firms with EMSs to be exempted from otherwise applicable requirements. Yet while private- and public-sector interest in EMSs is booming limited empirical evidence is available about the efficacy of EMSs. To close the gap between advocacy and analysis Regulating from the Inside brings together cutting-edge work of leading scholars providing the most comprehensive analysis to date of environmental management systems. Intended to frame the future policy and the research agenda about EMSs the discussions are organized around two critical questions: How have EMSs worked in firms that have already adopted them? What potential and limitations do they have as policy tools in the future? Addressing the arguments of both advocates and skeptics the chapters examine why firms adopt EMSs; how firms implement EMSs; how EMSs answer concerns about fairness corporate social responsibility and sustainability; and what kind of impact EMSs may have on the global economy. | Regulating from the Inside Can Environmental Management Systems Achieve Policy Goals

Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

The world water problems are a due to bad governance not to physical water scarcity. This book is inspired by this statement and explores whether it holds in a specific country Spain where climatic conditions – Spain is one of the most arid countries of the European Union - would fully justify saying that water problems are due to physical water scarcity. The metrification of water uses and their monetary value is a first important step in understanding how reallocation of water among users could help mitigating many of current water problems in Spain. However water reallocation among users or from users to nature is far from simple. Initiatives portrayed as the solution to the water governance ‘jigsaw’ – e. g. water trade improved water use efficiency users collective action public participation – are not free of difficulties and shortcomings. The book explores the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance – people’s needs wishes (vested) interests aspirations – that often determine the result of decisions and sometimes lead water management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing a more complex - and also closer to reality - picture of water governance in Spain. | Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

During the recent decades social political and academic endeavours have been made to improve environmental quality and reduce pollution. In particular the ocean sea and coastal areas show varying degrees of impact from the multiple human activities carried out in the terrestrial as well as in the aquatic environment. Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between organisms and the surrounding environment and in the modern era the marine world is getting increasing attention. For centuries it has been the final reservoir of human garbage; later it became an oil farm with a concomitant increase of coastal population growth and unplanned growth of the fishing industry and the increasing use of sea routes for cargo transport and recreational uses (cruises). All this led to rising contamination with negative effects on biota and even human health. It is then imperative to know the current situation of the world's oceans: that is the main purpose of this book to document at a glance the latest research in the field of ocean pollution. | Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Managing People in Commercial Kitchens A Contemporary Approach

Managing People in Commercial Kitchens: A Contemporary Approach uses original research to argue that senior managers (head chefs) should differentiate their people management practices in kitchen brigades from those used in the hospitality industry more generally (induction socialisation and performance evaluation) due to the group’s strong occupational identity and culture. The understanding of chefs’ work from a management perspective is critical for successful hospitality operations but has been historically under-researched. Chapters provide a detailed account of chefs’ work in commercial kitchens from an HRM perspective. Using occupational identity and culture as a vehicle this book explores the different aspects of managerial work in commercial kitchen settings: general management leadership education and training skills and competencies managing deviant behaviour managing stress and managing diversity (focused on gender segregation). The final chapter looks at future perspectives on this unique working environment and the many challenges arising from the latest developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing both theoretical insights and practical applications with the use of case studies throughout this will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in hospitality as well as a useful reference for current managers in the field. | Managing People in Commercial Kitchens A Contemporary Approach

State Secrecy and Democracy A Philosophical Inquiry

In the wake of controversial disclosures of classified government information by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden questions about the democratic status of secret uses of political power are rarely far from the headlines. Despite an increase in initiatives aimed at enhancing government transparency – such as freedom of information or sunshine laws – secrecy persists in both the foreign and domestic policy of democratic states in the form of classified intelligence programs espionage secret military operations diplomatic discretion closed-door political bargaining and bureaucratic opacity. This book explores whether the state’s claim to restrict access to information can be justified. Dorota Mokrosinska answers this question with a qualified yes arguing that secrecy in exercising executive and legislative power can be seen as a legitimate exercise of democratic authority rather than as its justified suspension. Past and recent examples of state secrecy are used throughout the book including the Manhattan Project decision-making leading to the Iraq War the extraordinary renditions programs and secret detention sites in Eastern Europe collaboration between international secret services and the WikiLeaks and Snowden disclosures.

Clean Numerical Simulation

This book describes the basic principles of Clean Numerical Simulation (CNS) proposed by the author in 2009 as well as several of its applications. Unlike conventional algorithms CNS gives in a sufficiently long interval of time a convergent chaotic trajectory whose numerical noise is much lower than the true physical solution so that one can gain accurately. Thus CNS provides for the first time an ability to check statistics stability of chaos leading to a completely new concept of ultra-chaos which has both trajectory instability and statistics instability and thus is of a higher disorder. Notably it is impossible to repeat experimental results of ultra-chaos even in the statistical sense. However the reproducibility of physical experiments forms a cornerstone for modern science. Thus ultra-chaos reveals an incompleteness of the modern science paradigm. In addition it also reveals statistics stability as a precondition for use of conventional algorithms including direct numerical simulation (DNS). In Clean Numerical Simulation several conjectures and open problems are proposed including a modified fourth Clay millennium problem. Indeed CNS opens the door for us to enter the clean numerical world of chaos and turbulence.
