Pride of place : how the lottery contributed f1 billion to the arts in England /

作者：  edited by Alex Stetter

出版社：

简介：　　The Arts Council of England has allocated lottery-funded Capital grants totaling #1 billion to more than 2,000 projects over the last five years. Apart from putting the spotlight on the future of the arts, the distribution of lottery-funded grants has kick-started a vast programme of new building. This book looks at four cities that have benefited from the scheme, and introduces a selection of individual projects and the personalities that made them happen. The Arts Council's programme has led to the construction of new landmark buildings around England, from the New Gallery in Walsall to the Globe Theatre in London, as well as providing support for hundreds of small-scale projects. But has this additional money led to a better experience for visitors? Have the Lottery millions provided better environments for artists to show their work? Through a series of essays and photographic studies, this book analyses the successes and failures of this ambitious programme of investment.

Fisheries subsidies, sustainable development, and the WTO /

作者：  edited by Anja von Moltke.

出版社：

简介：The fisheries sector is in crisis. Inappropriate subsidies to the fishing industry are a key factor responsible for worldwide fisheries depletion, overcapitalization and ecosystem degradation. There is an urgent need for an international mechanism to promote the appropriate restructuring of fisheries subsidies in order to create a more sustainable industry. In recent years the leading international forum charged with providing such a mechanism has been the World Trade Organization (WTO). This book explains why and how the reform of fisheries subsidies has become one of the most concrete and potentially successful international efforts to achieve global environmental, economic and developmental policy coherence. It describes the history and current status of the discussions at the WTO, drawing on UNEP's key documents and reflecting on the major issues. Accompanying the book is a CD-Rom containing full-text versions of all the most important source material used in the publication. The book is aimed at a broad stakeholder audience, including policy-makers in the fields of trade, fisheries, environmental economics and international environmental governance, as well as academics and others looking for an overview of the fisheries subsidies issue and an introduction to its technical components.
