    [13 May, 2005] RAJYA SABHA time, they had to seil at a lesser price. So, they had bigger loss. So, this was exactly what the Spices Board was attempting to do, that is, to tell the farmers that international prices are going down. Sir, today, Kerala is the larget producer, Kerala is one of the most enlightened States. They all have access to everything on the Net. World prices, the movement of world prices, what is happening all over the world, what is the demand of the world, etc. all this is available on the net. And , I am sure, farmers are now alive to this situation of increased production and falling prices. The Government has taken some steps for enlightening farmers, for advising farmers, and which the Government of India will continue to do, I will be happy if there is any specific suggestion ...(Interruptions)..

  • Institutionalizing Unsustainability the Paradox of Global Climate Governance Hayley Stevenson
    Institutionalizing Unsustainability The Paradox of Global Climate Governance Hayley Stevenson Published in association with the University of California Press “Presents a compelling and novel argument: that collective efforts to combat climate change have actually contrib- uted to less sustainable modes of industrial growth. Much work has looked at the details of national and international climate change policy, but no one has addressed whether any of this effort is likely to make a real difference, and what the broader factors are that account for policy changes. Will be attractive both for scholars of climate change and for policy makers.” PETER HAAS, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Climate change is a global phenomenon that requires a global response, and yet climate change governance depends on the ability of individual states to respond to a long-term, uncertain threat. Although states are routinely criticized for their inability to respond to such threats, the problems that arise from their attempts to respond are frequently overlooked.
