Carbon markets – both emission trading systems and baseline and credit systems – are an increasingly common policy instrument being introduced to address climate change mitigation. However, their design is crucial to ensure that they deliver cost-effective emission reductions while maintaining environmental integrity. This Element puts together a comprehensive, principle-based overview of the risks and abuses to environmental integrity and cost effectiveness that have emerged for carbon markets at all jurisdictional levels around the world, provides concrete examples, and offers effective policy and governance solutions to overcome such risks. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
This book offers a provocative analysis of the neuroscience of morality. Written by three leading scholars of science, medicine, and bioethics, it critiques contemporary neuroscientific claims about individual morality and notions of good and evil. Winner of a 2021 prize from the Expanded Reason Institute, it connects moral philosophy to neoliberal economics and successfully challenges the idea that we can locate morality in the brain. Instead of discovering the source of morality in the brain as they claim to do, the popularizers of contemporary neuroscience are shown to participate in an understanding of human behavior that serves the vested interests of contemporary political economy. Providing evidence that the history of claims about morality and brain function reach back 400 years, the authors locate its genesis in the beginnings of modern philosophy, science, and economics. They further map this trajectory through the economic and moral theories of Francis Bacon, David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and the Chicago School of Economics to uncover a pervasive colonial anthropology at play in the neuroscience of morality today.The book concludes with a call for a humbler and more constrained neuroscience, informed by a more robust human anthropology that embraces the nobility, beauty, frailties, and flaws in being human.

Adolescents with disruptive behavior problems represent one of the most difficult and recalcitrant treatment populations. These youth and their parents often enter treatment unwilling or unable to try new behaviors. This book explains how to provide Functional Family Therapy (FFT), an empirically supported, highly successful family intervention for delinquent and substance-using adolescents. FFT systematically alters important risk and protective factors associated with the problem behaviors. The FFT therapist first increases family members’ motivation to change by disrupting and replacing their dysfunctional attributions about themselves and each other. The therapist then works with the family to eliminate the problem behaviors and generalize new skills and interaction patterns to broader community relations.

Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage subsidies, public employment measures, and job search assistance - are widely used in European countries to combat unemployment. Little, however, is known about what each country can learn from experiences in other countries. This study provides novel insight on this important policy issue by discussing the role of the European Commission's Employment Strategy, reviewing the experiences made in European states, and giving the first ever quantitative assessment of the existing cross-country evidence, answering the question "what labor market program works for what target group under what (economic and institutional) circumstances?". Using an innovative meta-analytical approach, the authors find that rather than contextual factors such as labor market institutions or the business cycle, it is almost exclusively the program type that matters for program effectiveness: While direct employment programs in the public sector appear detrimental, wage subsidies and "Services and Sanctions" can be effective in increasing participants' employment probability.

I den moderna demokratin är mediernas ställning central. Demokratins vitalitet och kvalitet är i hög grad beroende av hur den politiska kommunikationen mellan det politiska systemet, medierna och medborgarna ser ut. Demokratins ideal om en fri informationsförmedling, granskning och debatt ställer stora krav på medierna och journalistiken. Samtidigt finns starka ekonomiska, teknolog¬iska och kulturella villkor som i realiteten påverkar mediernas möjligheter och sätt att fungera.I denna andra upplaga av Medierna och demokratin diskuterar ledande forskare på ett djupgående och nyanserat sätt mediernas villkor, journalistikens roll och innehåll samt mediernas förhållande till publiken för att belysa hur den politiska kommunikationen fungerar och påverkar demokratins kvalitet och funktionssätt. Varje kapitel introducerar centrala teoretiska perspektiv och den senaste forskningen på området.Med sitt tydliga fokus på medier och demokrati lämpar sig boken för studenter i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, journalistik och statsvetenskap på grundläggande nivå. Boken vänder sig också till alla som på ett mer allmänt plan intresserar sig för dessa frågor.
Det finns många olika benämningar eller etiketter på ungdomar med relationsförsvårande beteende: Ungdom på glid, svårbehandlade tonåringar, värstingar och unga lagöverträdare är bara några exempel. De kan ha en utagerande beteendestörning eller ett drogberoende och de kan vara aktuella hos barn och ungdomspsykiatrin eller i socialtjänsten. Denna bok handlar om dessa ungdomar och deras familjer. Men framförallt handlar den om ett framgångsrikt sätt att behandla deras problem.I metoden funktionell familjeterapi (FFT), som började utvecklas av James F Alexander i slutet av 1960-talet, utgår man från två familjefunktioner som är särskilt centrala: närhet och distans i föräldra–ungdomsförhållandet och hierarkiförändring i familjen. Terapeuten undersöker i de tidiga samtalen hur den unges symptom påverkar dessa funktionsområden. Alla familjemedlemmars relationsbehov undersöks utifrån den funktion beteendet fyller i form av närhet eller avstånd. Behandlingen, som följer en manual indelad i fem faser, har utvärderats i en lång rad forskningsstudier och har i USA godkänts som ett av Blueprintprogrammen för evidensbaserad behandling. I Sverige har metoden använts i 15 år.Funktionell familjeterapi innehåller förutom behandlingsmanualen även en omfattande presentation av forskningsstödet för metoden och en illustrativ fallbeskrivning. Boken vänder sig till yrkesverksamma socionomer, psykologer och familjebehandlare i socialtjänsten och i barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin samt till studerande på socionom- och psykologutbildningen och på olika familjeterapiutbildningar.

The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements.This book brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about the ecology, management, and conservation of this distinctive ecosystem. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the chapters examine the physical, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of the rainforest. They also look at how the delicate balance of this ecosystem has been threatened by human use and climate change. In the past, governments encouraged the forest industry to clearcut the "decadent" old stands and replace them with rapidly growing young trees of other species. More recently, out of concern for the ecological consequences of such practices, researchers have begun to examine alternative management strategies. This book offers a vision that combines various strategies in order to balance the conservation of the inland rainforest as a fully functioning ecosystem with human use of its diverse resources.
