Envisioning Sustainable Development in World Regions

Kendall-Hunt

In world of seven billion people, we must confront a daunting challenge. How can seven billion of us inhabit the planet in a way that provides the best life for as many of us as possible? In other words, how can we sustain our personal, social, cultural, economic, and environmental well-being long into the future? This question is very real and being addressed by people, governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations around the world. Indeed, we have achieved an unprecedented level of global cooperation today, and we are using our connectivity and interdependence to foster a global-scale project. This global project, and the key to how we can thrive with so many of us on the planet, are one and the same: Sustainable Development. What is especially exciting is that this effort is happening all over the planet right now. This book addresses sustainable development in the twenty-first century in a way that is accessible to students in introductory geography and environmental studies, or to anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of what exactly is meant by sustainable development. The text surveys the fundamental conditions to achieving sustainable development on a global and regional scale, and reports on the progress of this global project to date. In the spirit of lessening its ecological footprint, the text is available from Kendall-Hunt exclusively as an e-book, which also allows for publication of its full-color maps and reduces its cost.

Expatriate labour markets in rapidly globalising cities: Reproducing the migrant division of labour in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies

This paper studies the processes through which skilled international workers are differentially attracted to and incorporated in the rapidly globalising cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, thereby reproducing the migrant division of labour in these cities. This is accomplished by presenting results from a large-scale employment survey of foreign and local firms in these cities, as well as key informant interviews conducted with representatives of these firms. Most significantly, it is in global city labour markets that firm employment practices intersect with state regulatory frameworks and local employment structures, and thus, where skilled international migration flows are localised.
