This natural environmental lens on development challenges also offers an innovative perspective on current issues of governance, agricultural development and environmental management, multiculturalism and migration in developing and rich countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes with some proposals for a decolonised global solidarity framework that values rather than erases diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933949247724,"sku":"9781839999932","price":319.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781839999932-decolonising-international-solidarity.jpg?v=1783886970","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/decolonising-international-solidarity-by-yvan-j-biot-9781839999932","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
