Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - Economic Cycle and Growth, , language: English, abstract: Those of us who preach the gospel of agriculture with evangelical zeal find the text compelling and convincing. We are regularly possessed by the spirit only to look around and see out colleagues, in other sectors, in country management, or even our senior management doubting, yawning or subtly edging towards the door. We face the implicit query, ¿If agriculture can do such great things, why have they not yet happened?¿The past decade has been one of agro-pessimism. The promises that agricultural development seem to hold did not materialise. This pessimism seemed to coincide with pessimism about Sub-Saharan Africa. Especially for Sub-Saharan Africa the hope was that economic development would be brought about by agricultural development. After the success of the green revolution in Asia, the hope was that a similar agricultural miracle would transform African economies. But this hope never materialised, agricultural productivity did not increase much in SSA, and worse, the negative effects of the green revolution in Asia became more apparent, such as pesticide overuse and subsequent pollution. Also in Asia the yield increases tapered off.The sceptics put forward several arguments why agriculture is no longer an engine of growth. For instance, the liberalisation of the 1990s and greater openness to trade has lead to a reduction in the economic potential of the rural sector: cheap imported Chinese plastic buckets out compete the locally produced pottery. On the other hand, it does mean cheaper (imported) supplies. With rapid global technical change and increasingly integrated markets, prices fall faster than yields rise. So, rural incomes fall despite increased productivity if they are net producers. The integration of rural with urban areas means that healthy young people move out of agriculture, head to town, leaving behind the old, the sick and the dependent. It is often also the men who move to urban areas, leaving women in charge of the farm. This has resulted in the increased sophistication of agricultural markets (and value chains) which excludes traditional smallholders, who are poorly equipped to meet the demanding product specifications and timeliness of delivery required by expanding supermarkets. The natural resource base on which agriculture depends is poor and deteriorating.

DIE ROLLE DER GENERALVERSAMMLUNG DER VEREINTEN NATIONEN IM LEBENSZYKLUS DER NORM In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat das Studium von Normen in Verbindung mit einem konstruktivistischen Ansatz neue Einsichten in den Bereich der internationalen Beziehungen gebracht. Die UN-Generalversammlung ist die wichtigste globale IGO, was sie zu einem wichtigen und interessanten Studienthema im Hinblick auf die globale Gesetzgebung macht. Diese Forschung füllt eine Lücke in der Literatur, die das Verhältnis zwischen Normen und der (Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen) UNGA nicht ausreichend abdeckt. Die vorliegenden Fallstudien liefern individuelle und vergleichende Ergebnisse, die dazu beitragen können, umfassendere Fragen zu beantworten, die sich sowohl mit Global Governance als auch mit internationalen Beziehungen befassen. Diese Forschung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die UN-Generalversammlung in der Lage ist, eine einflussreiche Rolle im Lebenszyklus von Normen zu spielen, der sich aus der Iteration von Finemore und Sikkink (1998) erweitert.

This book highlights the key role of water for food security, globally and for different groups. Climate change projections suggest many regions will become drier and hotter, and droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe. Population growth will most likely largely be in poor parts of the world where agriculture is the main source of livelihood, but where yields are low, partly due to uncertainty in water supply. Elevated risk and other challenges apply both for the part of agriculture that has access to irrigation, and even more for farmers who depend on increasingly uncertain rainfall. This book analyses ¿Society¿s New Normal¿ as an inconvenient truth of global water resources and the rapid increase in groundwater extraction. The book emphasizes that requirements for innovation and reforms leading to water savings are large. Policy decisions must also take into account new knowledge about the distortions in food security, and special consideration given to vulnerable groups. Although the challenges are significant, there are great opportunities to make better use of limited water resources.

This Book aims to help fill the gap between human rights standards and principles, on the one hand, and their implementation through governance interventions, on the other. Those engaged in governance reforms frequently wonder about the relevance of human rights to their efforts. How can human rights principles be meaningfully brought into governance reforms? What types of policies and initiatives do these principles translate into? Once States have adopted appropriate legal frameworks, how can they and other social actors improve implementation through governance reforms? By presenting innovative efforts from around the world to design and carry out governance reforms and protect human rights, this publication attempts to show how governance can be reformed to contribute to the protection of human rights. The hope is also that, in so doing, this publication will inspire reformers, including Governments, human rights activists, development practitioners, national human rights commissions and national civil society organizations.
