"Climate change will have distinct impacts on various regions and populations. In this context, human mobility can be an empowered adaptation strategy or an unwelcome necessity for survival with a high human cost. Existing legal frameworks were not created with a view to addressing human mobility in the context of climate change impacts; there is presently scarce political will to develop new, bespoke legal mechanisms. In Humans on the Move, Grant Dawson and Rachel Laut explore how the insuciency of legal frameworks, coupled with increasing recognition that attempts to mitigate global warming will be insufficient to prevent massive human movements, have driven the development of an adaptive approach"--

"This book analyzes China as an economic juggernaut, undergirded by aspirations and ambitions, through the lens of its vision and how it is envisioned. China's quest for enhancing its economic footprint across South and Southeast Asia through increasing trade, achieving technological supremacy, and making territorial acquisitions is relentless. The BRI initiatives, aimed at realizing win-win economic benefits, have created new challenges for the host countries more often than not. Economic aspirations must be shielded and protected by security umbrellas, thus making these countries partners of the China-dominated security architecture in South and Southeast Asia. Nowhere is this more evident than in the countries of Sri Lanka and Pakistan in South Asia. Despite Southeast Asian nations being viewed as within the ambit of China's historical sphere of influence, Myanmar and Thailand provide experiences different from their neighbours. The authors also navigate China's policies at home and abroad, providing a futuristic perspective on China's path to victory. The book provides answers to compelling questions as: How have strengthened economic relations of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand with China impacted their economies? Are the BRI projects and the debt burden they entail sustainable in the future, especially as economies are battered due to the pandemic? Could these countries afford to rethink their economic relations with China, given that there is a potential wariness of China's growing economic footprint and possession of their key resources? Could there be any roadblocks to China's emergence as the leading power in the Asia-Pacific region and globally? What will be the fallout for global geopolitics?"

"This book provides a critical history of influential women in the United Nations and seeks to inspire empowerment with role models from bygone eras. The women whose voices this book presents helped shape UN conventions, declarations and policies with relevance to the international human rights of women throughout the world today. From the founding of the UN up until the Latin American feminist movements that pushed for gender equality in the UN Charter, and the Security Council Resolutions on the role of women in peace and conflict, the volume reflects on how women delegates from different parts of the world have negotiated and disagreed on human rights issues related to gender within the UN throughout time. In doing so it sheds new light on how these hidden historical narratives enrich theoretical studies in international relations and global agency today. In view of contemporary feminist and postmodern critiques of the origin of human rights, uncovering women's history of the United Nations from both Southern and Western perspectives allows us to consider questions of feminism and agency in international relations afresh. With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners of law, diplomacy, history and development studies, and brought together by a theoretical commentary by the Editors, Women and the UN will appeal to anyone whose research covers human rights, gender equality, international development or the history of civil society"--
