Environmental control in this case is intended to include prevention, mitigation and recovery carried out by the government, regional government and those in charge of businesses and/or activities in accordance with their respective authorities, roles and responsibilities.

Bringing together a wide diversity of authors based on three continents and from different disciplinary backgrounds, this book offers analyses of a wide range of factors that characterize and that are shaping the future of the African Sahel. In forty chapters, organized in nine sections, the book examines this complex and rapidly changing region on multiple dimensions. Collectively, the book attempts to offer an understanding of the specificity of the Sahel, and to examine its core characteristics as shaped by the geographic, cultural, and political parameters that define it. Following a series of chapters focused on the shaping of the Sahelian space as a region, six chapters explore the distinct national trajectories of the countries of the political Sahel: Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Chad. The extraordinary combination of environmental, economic, and political challenges, and the ways in which Sahelian states and societies have responded, are the primary focus of the three subsequent sections, while the various parameters of the lived realities of these societies in motion are explored in the four final sections of the book. Transversally throughout, the chapters aim to offer an interdisciplinary and holistic view of the challenges and the dynamics that are shaping a region at a historical crossroads, and an understanding of the many factors that feed and perpetuate its vulnerabilities and fragilities, as well as its sources of resilience.

Penerapan Instrumen Ekonomi Lingkungan Hidup dalam ketentuan Pasal 42 dan 43 Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup dapat dilihat sebagai upaya mewujudkan pembangunan berkelanjutan yaitu memberikan perlindungan pada lingkungan hidup melalui pendekatan yang sejalan dengan kaidah-kaidah pasar ekonomi, sehingga upaya pengelolaan lingkungan hidup tidak mengganggu pertumbuhan sektor usaha dan ekonomi makro pada umumnya. Instrumen ekonomi lingkungan hidup (salah satunya adalah insentif dan/atau disinsentif) ini wajib dikembangkan dan diterapkan oleh Pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah dalam rangka melestarikan fungsi lingkungan hidup. Tujuan instrumen insentif dan/atau disinsentif ini adalah untuk melestarikan fungsi lingkungan hidup melalui pemberian kredit perbankan kepada nasabah debitur. Penelitianini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan studi kepustakaan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa penerapan instrumen insentif dan/atau disinsentif ini sangat signifikan untuk mencegah terjadinya pencemaran dan perusakan lingkungan hidup karena sejak dari awal nasabah debitur yang mengajukan kredit/pembiayaan atas usaha dan/atau kegiatannya sudah dapat diketahui apakah nasabah debitur tersebut peduli atau lalai terhadap lingkungan hidup. Dengan penerapan instrumen insentif dan/atau disinsentif dalam pemberian kredit perbankan terhadap nasabah debitur maka dapat dipastikan pelestarian fungsi lingkungan hidup tetap terjaga dan kredit/pembiayaan yang diberikan perbankan kepada nasabah debitur tidak terjadi kredit macet   Application of Environmental Economic Instruments in the provisions of Article 42 and 43 of Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management can be seen as an effort to realize sustainable development. These instruments provide protection to the environment through approaches that are in line with economic market rules, so that environmental management would not disrupt the business sector and macro economy growth. These environmental economic instruments must be developed and applied by the government in order to preserve environmental functions. Using normative legal research methods the results of this study show that the application of these incentive and / or disincentive instruments is significantly prevent the occurrence of pollution and environmental damage. Since the beginning the provision banks can identify whether the debtor customer cares or neglectful about the environment. By implementing incentive and / or disincentives instruments in the provision of bank credit to debtor customers, the preservation of environmental functions could be maintained, and bad credit/ financing could be avoided.

Abstract A number of events taking place in the twenty-first century such as mass arrests of members of the Iran President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad's executive office accused of witchcraft make one doubt that witch hunt trials remained in the far Middle Ages. It is religious motives that are usually considered the main reason for anti-witchcraft hysteria. When analyzing the history of anti-witchcraft campaigns we came to the conclusion that in the majority of cases witchcraft was a planned action aimed at consolidating the state power and acquiring additional sources of revenue. By using economic instruments we tried to reveal some general regularities of witch hunt in various countries as well as conditions for this institution to emerge and for ensuring its stability by the state power We show that witch hunt was an instrument of implementing institutional transformations aimed to consolidate the political power or to forfeit wealth by the state power.
