Sociological Approaches

Over the past twenty years, the so-called third debate, or the constructivist turn in international relations theory, has elic- ited a great deal of attention. Various critical theories and epistemologies-sociological approaches, postmodernism, constructivism, neo-Marxism, feminist approaches, and cul- tural theories-seem to dominate the leading international relations journals. Postmodernism (also called critical theo- ry), perhaps the most radical wave of the third debate, uses literary theory to challenge the notion of an "objective" reality in world politics, reject the notion of legitimate social science, and seek to overturn the so-called dominant dis- courses in the field in favor of a new politics that will give voice to previously marginalized groups.

The University

The University of South Carolina used an educational television format for an introductory braille course to reach a population of teachers scattered throughout the state. Results indicate that this format is a viable alternative to on-campus sessions. Three major components of the course were fifteen weekly television class sessions, five Saturday class sessions, and mastery testing on six unit tests. This article reports on the television course, how it was structured, the reactions of students and professor, and its feasibility for use in the future.

The Relationship

Historical ecology is a practical framework of concepts and methods for studying the past and future of the relationship between people and their environments. Its holistic, ethical, and place-based approach can ‘grow’ regional expertise in managing the future. This chapter offers an overview of the origins and growing integration of several strands that comprise historical ecology, paying particular attention to theoretical contexts and offering examples of practical applications. Historical ecology is not a new discipline so much as a ‘cluster’ or ‘cloud’ of mutually compatible questions, concepts, methods, and values that provide a rich environment within which to find common cause with other initiatives; such communities are taking shape and broadening their inclusivity.

Because the domain of waste is one of the most problematic and challenging environmental issues we face today, our paper tried to synthesize a few European reports regarding to Romanian measures and policies taken in the past, but for the future in the improvement and reduction of the growth consumption of waste in the workplace and at home. Our aim with this research is to show how can reduce, reuse and recycle the waste from our home or work places, having as ultimate aim the meeting of environmental objectives and, of course, minimising the waste disposal costs.
