A Strategy to Fight Hunger in Developing Countries?

Despite repeated interventions by governments, donors and NGOs in recent years, food insecurity continues and developing countries are forced to rely on food aid again and again. The original idea of Starter Pack was to give a tiny bag of agricultural inputs - fertiliser and seed - to every smallholder farmer in Malawi. Although the programme did not work as originally intended, it was successful in achieving food security. The scaling down of the programme was a major contributor to the food crisis which hit Malawi (and other countries in Southern Africa) at the beginning of 2002. For once, we have a success story about how hunger can be tackled efficiently. This book assesses the case of the Starter Pack programme in Malawi, and whether it can be replicated elsewhere. It covers the practicalities of implementing such a large programme and the policy debates.

Direct Action and the Enforcement of International Marine Conservation Law

The subject of international environmental law is fraught with debate over its legitimacy and efficacy. If laws without enforcement are merely good advice, then how can the environment be meaningfully protected by international legal institutions? This book examines that question through the lens of marine conservation, focusing on the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation (CPWF) as non-state actors intervening directly to enforce international marine conservation laws.The book unfolds in three parts, moving from Soundings, which explores the legal and historical foundations of marine conservation law, to Currents, which traces the emergence of direct-action enforcement and its necessity in instances where states lack the means, will, or jurisdiction to act, and finally to Horizons, which looks ahead to the emerging landscape of ocean governance beyond the state. In these later chapters, the book examines the increasing criminalization of environmental activism, the rise of Indigenous-led and decentralised enforcement models, and the plural legal imaginaries reshaping what legitimacy might mean in a post-sovereign world.Grounded in bio- and ecocentric legal theory, and drawing on legal analysis, political critique, and detailed campaign case studies, the book challenges the assumption that enforcement is the sole domain of the nation-state. Instead, it argues that legitimacy may derive not from formal authority, but from the courage to uphold laws that institutions have abandoned. In doing so, this book reframes direct action as being essential to the law’s integrity: the upholding of a shared responsibility to conserve our oceans. For when legality becomes illusion, resistance may be the most just act of all. In this sea of fallen standards, the pirate flag may be the only one worth flying.

Eine Reise nach Tel Aviv verändert Sarah Levys Blick auf Israel – aus dem Urlaubsort ihrer Kindheit, Heimat ihrer jüdischen Familie und Konfliktschauplatz wird ein Sehnsuchtsort voller Wärme und inspirierender Begegnungen. Mit 33 entscheidet sie, ihr Leben in Hamburg hinter sich zu lassen, und zieht nach Tel Aviv. Inmitten der Corona-Pandemie durchlebt sie Mentalitätsklüfte, frustrierende Sprachlosigkeit und das liebevolle Chaos israelischer Familientreffen. Im Stadtteil Yafo begegnet sie nicht nur herzlich-warmen Israelis, die ihr ständig Tupperdosen mit Rote-Bete-Salat und dramatische Lebensgeschichten aufdrängen, sondern auch einer tief gespaltenen Gesellschaft.Eine Geschichte darüber, was Mut bedeuten kann.

Ein eindringlicher, persönlicher Bericht aus Israel und ein Plädoyer für die Menschlichkeit auf beiden Seiten eines zerstörerischen Kriegs.Ist das noch mein Land? Diese Frage stellt sich Sarah Levy, seit sie erlebt, wie Israels rechtsnationale Regierung die israelische Gesellschaft spaltet. Dann attackiert die Hamas das Land am 7. Oktober 2023. Auf brutale Weise ändert der Krieg das Leben, das die junge Mutter in Tel Aviv führt. Sie flieht mit Partner und Kind in ihre Heimat Frankfurt und muss dort erkennen, dass Deutschland nicht mehr ihr Land ist. Doch das Israel, in das sie zurückkehrt, kämpft um seine Seele. Freunde tragen plötzlich Waffen, Verwandte wünschen Palästinensern die Auslöschung, Nachbarn unterstellen ihr, die Soldaten zu verraten. Der Kriegsalltag zwischen Schutzbunker und allgegenwärtigem Verlust führt Levy an ihre Grenzen – als Mutter und als Partnerin, aber auch als Deutsche, die jetzt verstehen muss, dass das Land, das sie zum Leben gewählt hat, die Hoffnung auf eine friedliche Zukunft mit den Palästinensern schon lange verloren hat. Wer wird mein Sohn, fragt sie sich, wenn er hier aufwächst?Sarah Levy beschreibt mit kritischem Mitgefühl, wie Radikalisierung und Polarisierung ein Land verändern – und letztlich auch sie selbst.
