New book published in UAMR Studies on Development and Global Governance |
|
Abate Mekuriaw Bizuneh, former PhD student at the Institute of Development Research and Development Policy, has published his Ph.D. thesis “Climate Viariability and Change in the Rift Valley and Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia: Local Knowledge, Impacts and Adaptation”. The research shows that there are fundamental differences between adaptation practices in Ethiopia and other African countries. Dr. Mekuriaw shows that geographical specifics of Ethiopia are the main cause for such a divergence in practices.
The book is the second monograph published in the UAMR Studies on Development and Global Governance, the book series of the UMAR Graduate Centre for Development Studies, a collaboration project between the Institute of Development Research and Development Policy (IEE), Ruhr-University Bochum, Institute of Political Science, University Duisburg-Essen and Institute for Development and Peace (INEF), University Duisburg-Essen. |
