The Tradition-Oriented Rights Of The Tribal People Of India On Lands And Forests Are Not Only The Indigenous Issue Developed Long Ago, But In Most Of The Cases These Surpass The Frontiers Of History. After Their Many-Sided Confrontations With The Contemporary Conceptions, The Question Of Traditional Rights And Their Feasibility Has Raised A Lot Of Queries And Counter-Queries In The Sphere Of Safeguarding The Indiscriminate Destruction Of The Forested Environment And Unusual Utilization Of The Lands In Nature. The Question Has Not Only Been Confined To The Academic Circle, But It Has Stirred Conspicuously The Political Domain Of The Country Very Recently. The Tribal People Living In And Around The Forests Are Not The Destructor But The Conservers Of Forests And Related Natural Resources. Their Love And Sympathy For The Natural Resources Have Been Processed Characteristically In Their Cultural Patterns And Ultimately These Have Oriented The All-Embracing Tribal Philosophy. These Are Needed To Be Evaluated In Their Proper Perspectives With Scientific Outlook Reinforced By Concrete Case Studies. The Present Anthology Pledges To Supply Relevant Information To All Concerned In Its As Many As Nineteen Discernible Papers Including One Introduction Presented By The Veteran And Young As Well As Promising Social Scientists. It Would Cater To The Needs Of The Policy-Makers, Administrators, Politicians And Social Workers Together With All The Persons Interested In The Different Domains Of Social Sciences In General And In The Tribal Affairs In Particular.

This comprehensive handbook, prepared by leading ocean policy academics and practitioners from around the world, presents in-depth analyses of the experiences of fifteen developed and developing nations and four key regions of the world that have taken concrete steps toward cross-cutting and integrated national and regional ocean policy. All chapters follow a common framework for policy analysis. While most coastal nations of the world already have a variety of sectoral policies in place to manage different uses of the ocean (such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas development), in the last two decades, the coastal nations covered in the book have undertaken concerted efforts to articulate and implement an integrated, ecosystem-based vision for the governance of ocean areas under their jurisdiction. This includes goals and procedures to harmonize existing uses and laws, to foster sustainable development of ocean areas, to protect biodiversity and vulnerable resources and ecosystems, and to coordinate the actions of the many government agencies that are typically involved in oceans affairs. The book highlights the serious conflicts of use in most national ocean zones and the varying attempts by nations to follow the prescriptions emanating from the 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention and the outcomes of the 1992, 2002, and 2012 sustainable development summits. The interrelationship among uses and processes in the coast and ocean requires that ocean governance be integrated, precautionary, and anticipatory. Overall, the book provides a definitive state-of-the-art review and analysis of national and regional ocean policies around the world.

This book brings together leading international scholars of law and religion to provide an overview of current issues in State-religion relations. The first part of the collection offers a picture of recent developments in key countries and regions. The second part is focused on Europe and, in particular, on the Nordic States and the post-communist countries where State-religion systems have undergone most profound change. The third and final part is devoted to four issues that are currently debated all over the world: the relations between freedom of expression and freedom of religion; proselytism and the right to change religion; the religious symbols; and the legal status of Islam in Europe and Canada. The work will be a valuable resource for academics, students and policy-makers with an interest in the interaction between law and religion.

This volume brings together more than three decades of research and writings by Professor Ramesh Thakur on the challenges posed by nuclear weapons. Following an introduction to the current nuclear state of play, the book addresses the challenge of nuclear weapons in three parts. Part I describes the scholar-practitioner interface in trying to come to grips with this challenge, the main policy impact on security strategy, and the various future nuclear scenarios. Part II addresses regional nuclear challenges from the South Pacific to East, South and West Asia and thereby highlights serious deficiencies in the normative architecture of the nuclear arms control and disarmament regime. In the third and final part, the chapters discuss regional nuclear-weapon-free zones, NPT anomalies (and their implications for the future of the nuclear arms control regime) and, finally, assess the global governance architecture of nuclear security in light of the three Nuclear Security Summits between 2010 and 2014. The concluding chapter argues for moving towards a world of progressively reduced nuclear weapons in numbers, reduced salience of nuclear weapons in national security doctrines and deployments, and, ultimately, a denuclearized world. This book will be of much interest to students of nuclear proliferation, global governance, international organisations, diplomacy and security studies.
