Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life of a product from its design through to its eventual disposal or reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental design within the built environment is critical due to the complex range of materials and processes required to construct and manage our buildings and infrastructure systems. After outlining the framework for life cycle assessment this book uses a range of case studies to demonstrate the innovative input-output-based hybrid approach for compiling a life cycle inventory. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of resource requirements and environmental outputs so that the potential environmental impacts of a building or infrastructure system can be ascertained. These case studies cover a range of elements that are part of the built environment including a residential building a commercial office building and a wind turbine as well as individual building components such as a residential-scale photovoltaic system. Comprehensively introducing and demonstrating the uses and benefits of life cycle assessment for built environment projects this book will show you how to assess the environmental performance of your clients’ projects to compare design options across their entire life and to identify opportunities for improving environmental performance. | Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

It is common (and comforting) to see public policy as the result of careful craft work by expert officials who recognise a problem identify and evaluate possible responses and choose the most appropriate strategy the policy cycle'. The reality is more complex and challenging. Many hands are involved in policy-making not all of them official they are not all addressing the same problem they have different ideas about what would be a good answer and the process is rarely brought to a neat close by a clear decision. The development of policy can resemble firefighting with players rushing to react to demands for action in areas that are already in crisis or it can be a less frenetic process of weaving as they search for an outcome which reflects the concerns of all the stakeholders. Effective participation in the policy process calls for a clear understanding of this complexity and ambiguity. Beyond the Policy Cycle sets policy in this wider context. It recognises that participants in the process are drawn from both government and diverse areas outside government and looks not at a model' process but rather at how the game is played: how issues rise to prominence who is actually doing the work and exactly what it is that they are doing. With detailed Australian case studies and examining the implications of recent trends in policy such as the outsourcing of service provision Beyond the Policy Cycle offers students and practitioners a critical and engaged look at the activity of policy that reflects the reality of the policy experience. | Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

Labour Finance and Inequality The Insecurity Cycle in British Public Policy

Labour Finance and Inequality The Insecurity Cycle in British Public Policy

Following the 2008 global financial crisis the viability of globalised financial capitalism was called into question. The resulting fear and uncertainty produced a momentary return to Keynesian policies. But as soon as emergency stimuli – and bank bail-outs – appeared to stabilise the situation there was a sharp reversal; and successive British governments and the financial sector have since attempted to return to business as usual. Historically much smaller shocks have been able to produce dramatic change with the 1978 Winter of Discontent providing a catalyst for the election of Margaret Thatcher the ultimate abandonment of the post-war Keynesian consensus and the ushering-in of neoliberalism. Nor is apparent success a guarantee against change with Winston Churchill being swept from office by the first majority Labour government in 1945 – at a point which should have marked his greatest triumph. In this book these apparently inexplicable shifts in the conventional wisdom and the accompanying policy paradigm are explored through the lens of the interest groups that have jostled for position since the second industrial revolution. In this context inequality poverty free market capitalism and the social welfare state have interacted in an uneasy dynamic dance – the insecurity cycle. The authors explore these interactions their impact on the relationship between society and the economy and the possible implications of Brexit and a re-energised political left. Written in an engaging and accessible style Labour Finance and Inequality will be a key resource for academics and students of social and political economics as well as public policy. It will also offer considerable insight to policy makers and a more general non-specialist audience. | Labour Finance and Inequality The Insecurity Cycle in British Public Policy

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android investigates the threat conveyed and maintained by the nuclear cycle: mining research health power generation and weaponry. Central to this polyvalent 'report' on the infiltration of our lives and control over them exerted by the industrial-military complex are critiques of the creation storage and use of atomic weapons the exploitation of Australian Aboriginal people and their lands through British atomic testing in the 1950s and an exposé of a language of denial in the world of nuclear mining/energy/military usages. 'Nuclear' is also parenthetically investigated in its function as extended metaphor and question for poetry and poetics. Key is a consideration of the use of the language of the 'atomic' in cultural spaces and in 'the arts'. Indigenous land-rights claims in the face of uranium mining the semantics of waste and of the glib usage by nuclear power companies of the fact of global warming to suit their own corrosive agendas. The triumphalism of scientific and cultural discourse around 'nuclear' and the threats by nuclear fission are by association brought into question. The nuclear cycle throws the whole future of human beings into doubt and this book seeks to assemble new resources of resistance through creative and critical mediums including poetry and poetics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.

The Political Economy of Lula’s Brazil

The Political Economy of Lula’s Brazil

The Political Economy of Lula’s Brazil describes the social political and economic transformations that led to increased interest in the tropical giant at the start of the 21st century. This volume demonstrates that Brazil’s rise was the result of the adoption of heterodox economic policies while also highlighting the obstacles to choosing an egalitarian development path in Latin America. Adopting an innovative perspective in terms of methodology and interpretation contributors from Brazil Latin America and France follow a non-dogmatic critical approach in order to explain the institutional changes that made a new cycle of development possible in Brazil. The authors also argue that the evolution of Brazil following the implementation of leftist policies paradoxically gave birth to several economic political and environmental contradictions. They contend that these contradictions including the falling rate of profit linked to the full employment of resources; the redistributive process seen as a menace by the conservative middle classes; and the growing intervention of the state in the different markets eventually led to the end of the early 21st century development cycle. Providing clues to understanding the contradictory and painful path towards the development of semi-industrialised countries this book will interest students and academics in the fields of economics sociology history and political science. The story it tells may also interest all those searching for independent analysis of the successes and failures of Lula’s Brazil.
