This interdisciplinary volume examines multilingual critical alternatives to the all-pervasive language of “resilience” and “crisis”. Drawing together contributions from the arts,humanities and social sciences, this volume starts from the untranslatability of “resilience” across cultures and gathers case studies, which help us expand our critical terminology. The volume explores how critical vocabulary for contemporary scholarship on crisis must move beyond five major limitations: the imperative to bounce back quickly, the neglect of collective, land-based knowledge, the insistence on hyper-individualism, and the depoliticized reduction of subjects living with crisis to compliance and victimhood. It does so from a range of disciplinary perspectives, covering art, literature, critical geography, philosophy, postcolonial studies, and psychoanalysis.

Considered by some as the ‘paradigmatic’ Green party due to their swift institutionalisation, the German Greens’ movement party origins are consigned by many scholars to their history, thereby often overlooking the long-term imprint of their movement past and their continued networks with progressive movements and protests. This chapter argues that both these interpretations of a party/movement interface co-exist and strategically interact across party structures and grassroots activism. Drawing on extensive empirical data with Green Party members in three cities across 2018-2019, the chapter first highlights the authenticity party members feel by reproducing a participatory party brand closely aligned with protest and social movements. Secondly, it explores the strategic, instrumental aspect of the party/movement interface and how parties need to interact and often compete with other leftist parties and movements to attract electoral support from left-wing individuals. This investigation into the German context underscores the importance of centre-left parties nurturing and maintaining links and alliances, particularly at the local level, to other leftist and progressive parties and movements, even when in office at the state or national level. By doing so, leftist parties can more effectively promote urban centre-left politics and policy in times of rising support for the far right.},

The analysis further identifies that the transition to a green economy is not happening fast enough, and is not directed enough towards the developing world. Moreover, while IIL has the potential to play a role in renewable energy related investment, policy coherence is also required for development, as a variety of laws beyond IIAs are required to meet SDG 7. In this regard, IIA reform alongside other investment related polices can be targeted to address policy objectives at the core of SDG 7.},

For trans-national basins, international cooperation for integrated basin governance is necessary that is mainly embodied by basin cooperation mechanisms. The implementation of international basin cooperation depends on a number of mechanisms. There are about fifteen cooperative mechanisms in the Mekong Region divided into two groups: intra-regional mechanisms (cooperation among Mekong countries) and mechanisms between Mekong countries and non-basin partners. MRC, GMS and LMC are the three most active mechanism. Within the Lancang-Mekong River Basin, each country has particular perspectives about international basin cooperation. China is very active in Basin cooperation and has invested a lot of resource in this regard, but is sensitive to the intervention from countries outside the region. Cambodia and Laos, with most territory located within the Basin and essential or even majority of foreign investment from China, are active to diversify their international cooperation while maintaining close cooperation with China. Most of the inflow of foreign investments into Myanmar comes from Asian countries, followed by European countries and the United States, and is influenced by its domestic political situation. Thailand has been a relatively stable recipient country of foreign investment for a long time and has benefited significantly, it has now become a donor country, playing an important leading role in basin cooperation. Vietnam’s foreign investment mainly comes from Japan, Korea, and ASEAN. Vietnam plays the leading role in environmental cooperation in Lower Mekong Cooperation with the United States, and has actively participated in the “One Decade of Green Mekong” initiative in Mekong-Japan cooperation. Some countries outside the basin, such as the United States, Japan, India, Korea, India and international organizations such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, have significant influence on basin governance. Social participation in Lancang-Mekong River Basin governance plays a very important role. A variety of stakeholders, ranging from global network initiatives to local NGOs, from business enterprises to communities, have been actively engaging in the governance of the Lancang-Mekong River Basin. They have adopted different strategies (e.g., scientific research, capability building, policy advocacy, and citizen engagement) to exert influence on various issues such as climate change, biodiversity, hydropower development, and sustainable livelihood, revealing overlapping and interacting mechanisms of participation.
