Environmental Failures

Some assessments of the new global economy are overstated and this, with environmentalism's predisposition to decentralization, has limited global environmental politics. While globalization does provoke equity and environmental failures, it does not “universalize” unemployment, nor is it necessarily financially unstable. It may be successful in its own terms—advancing total global GDP. As well, it is arguable that some wage restraint in rich nations is ultimately necessary to the simultaneous achievement of sustainability and global-scale equity. Rather than resisting globalization, the better strategy for progressive greens might be to promote a global policy agenda including the democratic control of global media, harmonized tax shifts to energy and material throughputs (and/or higher commodity prices), environmental treaty enforcement using trade-based sanctions, and the establishment of a global minimum wage.

The Impact

Does the increasing awareness of environmental risk exposure also affect intentions to create enterprises which address these social and environmental failures? Besides economic explanations that social and environmental needs and market failure create opportunities for sustainable entrepreneurship, it is less clear how cognitive processes and motivations related to sustainable entrepreneurship are shaped by its context. This research integrates environmental risk exposure as a contextual variable into the theory of planned behavior and uses data gathered in the course of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. We provide empirical evidence for the impact of environmental risk exposure on the determinants of sustainable entrepreneurial intention and contribute to a deeper understanding of the formation of sustainable entrepreneurial intention.

Environmental Failures

In the transport debate, policy makers seem to be under the spell of a technological determinism, in which innovation Tand novelty are the key concepts. Obsessed with westernised regimes and systems, the current debate misses the relevance of forgotten, peripheral and silent mobilities. In this regard, looking to those peripheral mobilities is not only important for reconstructing our memory, but can also offer tools to build socially and environmentally sustainable transport regimes. I suggest using Walter Benjamin’s Angelus Novus to address the past and future of infrastructural systems and the role of “old” regimes. This paper relies on David Edgerton’s work, but I push the argument further, claiming that an innovation-prone debate today creates the (social and environmental) failures of tomorrow. While electric cars and driver-less vehicles can be useful tools, we should consider that peripheral mobilities could better address the issue of socially and environmentally sustainable transports systems. Long-term vision can bridge the past and future of transport policies and offer hints to social science, humanity and governance.

Dependent Patient

In this paper presented to the Boston Psychoanalytic Society, Winnicott examines the nature of transference dependence in a patient using clinical material, and he compares this with the stages of infant and child dependency. This vulnerable dependent patient required a phase of deep dependency on his analyst and a regression to the initial difficulties in her early life. All analysts fail and succeed in this work, but in failing and succeeding, they can help towards change. He comments on Dr Zetzel and her views of his work, correcting how he is represented in the area of early environmental failures.

Abstract One solution for diminishing carbon outflows is to provide electric vehicles (EV), which can help the sustainable development of the ecosystem in an environmentally way. Jakarta, as a capital city with high levels of pollution, has forced the government to recognize the need for policymakers to correct environmental failures through effective policy solutions. To support policy-driven adoption of EV, incentives shall be given to stimulate EV users. Current regulations have not yet explained regulations for EV’s, direct and indirect consumer benefits, infrastructure for charging, and complementary policies. This paper will compare the world’s best EV policy which will determine the main policy criteria to be developed for Jakarta’s regulation using the analytical hierarchy process and entropy method in giving scaled preferences of sets of standards and alternatives with acceptable inconsistency. AHP is used to determine initial subjective weights from experts, while then entropy will enhance AHP’s weights into objective weight. This study shows that charging infrastructure is the most influential criterion among other criteria followed by consumer incentive, both direct and indirect, complimentary policies, and regulatory incentives. Therefore, it is highly recommended that Jakarta’s government develop EV’s incentive policy in detail as the order above.
