چکیده
In this chapter we focus on how local vulnerability, expressed in land degradation, is related to international and global processes. We begin with a synopsis of vulnerability in the context of land degradation and desertification. The nature of international regimes that may affect vulnerable socioeconomic groups is presented. Analogues of local–global linkages in vulnerability are summarized, including the green revolution, climate change, and intellectual property rights for biodiversity. Methodologies for local–global understanding of vulnerability are suggested. Our conclusions suggest lessons learned in research on international vulnerability and identify issues for further consideration.
