This book brings together geological, biological, radical economic, technological, historical and social perspectives on peak oil and other scarce resources. The contributors to this volume argue that these scarcities will put an end to the capitalist system as we know it and alternatives must be created. The book combines natural science with emancipatory thinking, focusing on bottom up alternatives and social struggles to change the world by taking action. The volume introduces original contributions to the debates on peak oil, land grabbing and social alternatives, thus creating a synthesis to gain an overview of the multiple crises of our times.
The book sets out to analyse how crises of energy, climate, metals, minerals and the soil relate to the global land grab which has accelerated greatly since 2008, as well as to examine the crisis of profit production and political legitimacy. Based on a theoretical understanding of the multiple crises and the effects of peak oil and other scarcities on capital accumulation, the contributors explore the social innovations that provide an alternative.
Using the most up to date research on resource crises, this integrative and critical analysis brings together the issues with a radical perspective on possibilites for future change as well as a strong social economic and ethical dimesion. The book should be of interest to researchers and students of environmental policy, politics, sustainable development and natural resource management.

Описание: Human resource professionals have an important role to play to assist an organisation attain its CSR goals. Employee involvement is a vigorous success factor for CSR performance. Human resource managers have the tools and the opportunity to influence employee responsibility to, and commitment in, the firms CSR strategy. Human resource managers are well positioned to play an influential role in helping their organisation accomplish its goals of becoming a socially and environmentally responsible organisation. Further, human resource (HR) professionals in organisations that perceive successful corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a key driver of their financial performance, can be influential in realising on that objective. Human resource management can play a significant role so that CSR can become the way we do things around here. HR can be the key organisational partner to ensure that what the organisation is saying publicly aligns with how people are treated within the organisation. HR is in the enviable position of being able to provide the tools and framework for the executive team and CEO to embed CSR ethic and culture into the brand and the strategic framework of the organisation. Despite a significant increase in research and practice relating corporate social responsibility (CSR) and human resource management (HRM), a comprehensive examination of the relationship between these two constructs has yet to be undertaken. Scholars associating CSR and HRM rarely explicate their understanding of the connection between CSR and HRM or the assumptions they make when exploring this relationship.
