Abstract
Even though the response to climate change is urgent, it would be delayed and bent because of the complexities of natural scientific facts and the conflicts of stakeholder’s interest. This paper explores how the climate change policy is be delayed and bent focusing on Australia, which has ‘world first climate election’ in 2007. The situations including the vulnerable nature to climate change, frequent climate change events, high national concern on climate change, and the Australian Labour Party’s policy orientation is remunerative terms to the climate change policies. But the rich natural resource, economic structure deeply reliant on mining industry, resistance of the carbon political economic forces, mass media aggravating climate denial, and ‘bad politics’ delayed and bent them. The Australian case shows that global climate change, local climate change events, national industrial structure, people’s concern and attitude on them, and the politics impact on the climate change polices all together. So we need to find out the linkages among them,and explore the possibility of the ecological transformation of the link.
Abstract
This article explores the characteristics of the complex crises in East Asia through the concept and expanding role of the ‘Peace City’ as a possible strategy in responding to such crises while considering the perils of ‘mega cities’as well. The aspects of complex crisis in East Asia have become ever more complicated, interconnected between traditional crises and the new challenges of the 21st century and coupled with greater uncertainty. Particularly in East Asia, there remain remnants of the Cold War which have contributed to and further aggravated the complex crises in the region, creating even greater uncertainties and testing the limitations of nation-states’ problem solving. At the same time, Mega-cities have become another factor contributing to the growing gap between small and medium-sized cities. This article intends to focus on the concept of ‘peace city’ as an alternative solution to this crisis. Peace city is suggested as a solution that not only strengthens cooperation beyond borders to overcome the nationalism and statism left over from the Cold War structure, but also one that can gradually transform the characteristics of the state itself from nation state to civic state and possibly herald a new state paradigm. Though it is at a trial level, this paper attempts to articulate the concepts of both the peace city and the civic state and how these concepts can practically respond to the complex crisis in East Asia.
Abstract
Today the US give rise to many social problems because of increase of eminent domain for private benefits and expansion of public use concept in spite of strong ideology about protection of private property. This study traces origin of this conflicts back to what was as a embryo in the private property thoughts and cases of eminent domain in the early years of US foundation and Independent Revolution. The founders of the US including Jefferson,Adams and Madison based on Locke’s thoughts established liberal thoughts that treat private property thoughts as fundamental ideology, and they also proceeded efforts to protect interests of the social disadvantages. But increase of eminent domain according to industrialization and utilities necessity in the national development process conflicts with the private property thoughts. Especially, era of Mill Acts and issues of excess condemnation show the embryo forms of public-private takings which are core issues in today urban regeneration. The US government early established eminent domain system as a sovereignty and judicial deference approach with the separation of powers,but historical development proves that eminent domain systems turn into public-private takings. This paper interpret these changes as specific processes deepening spatial domination by capital based on judicial powers.
