tailieunhanh - Weight Management and Obesity Resource List

The historical emergence of colonial powers and nation states, and their violent assumption of authority over most common lands and natural resources led to the demise of traditional resource management systems virtually everywhere. The monetisation of economic exchange weakened local systems of reciprocity and solidarity, as did the incorporation of local economies into increasingly global systems of reference. In addition, the rise in power of modern, expert-based, «scientific» practices induced severe losses in local knowledge and skills. This generalised breakdown of local NRM systems finally resulted in the disempowerment and «deresponsibilisation» of local communities. | Weight Management and Obesity Resource List April 2013 This publication is a collection of resources for consumers on the topics of weight management and obesity.
