Download or read book Comercio justo comercio injusto written by Michael Barratt Brown and published by Icaria Editorial. This book was released on 1998-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sistema de relaciones comerciales internacionales no ha hecho más que incrementar la pobreza en el mundo, la desigualdad entre países pobres y ricos y el deterioro del medio ambiente. Ante el colapso económico que esta situación vaticina, un nuevo orden económico debe construirse bajo nuevas formas de cooperación democrática y ecológicamente sostenibles. El comercio justo puede ayudar a ello, al propiciar los intercambios directos en los mercados mundiales y la colaboración entre los productores del Sur y los consumidores del Norte. De lo que se trataría es de pagar un precio justo por los productos del Sur a partir de nuevas formas de producción en redes, que respeten el medio ambiente y den mayor calidad de vida a las comunidades productoras.

Download or read book Brewing Justice written by Daniel Jaffee and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fair trade is a fast-growing alternative market intended to bring better prices and greater social justice to small farmers around the world. But what does a fair-trade label signify? This vivid study of coffee farmers in Mexico offers the first thorough investigation of the social, economic, and environmental benefits of fair trade. Based on extensive research in Zapotec indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Brewing Justice follows the members of the cooperative Michiza, whose organic coffee is sold on the international fair-trade market, and compares them to conventional farming families in the same region. The book carries readers into the lives of coffee-producer households and communities, offering a nuanced analysis of fair trade’s effects on everyday life and the limits of its impact. Brewing Justice paints a clear picture of the dynamics of the fair-trade market and its relationship to the global economy. Drawing on interviews with dozens of fair-trade leaders, the book also explores the movement’s fraught politics, especially the challenges posed by rapid growth and the increased role of transnational corporations. It concludes with recommendations to strengthen and protect the integrity of fair trade. This updated edition includes a substantial new chapter that assesses recent developments in both coffee-growing communities and movement politics, offering a guide to navigating the shifting landscape of fair-trade consumption.

Download or read book Muslims in Spain 1492 1814 written by Eloy Martín-Corrales and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814: Living and Negotiating in the Land of the Infidel, Eloy Martín-Corrales surveys Hispano-Muslim relations from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period of chronic hostilities. Nonetheless there were thousands of Muslims in Spain at that time: ambassadors, exiles, merchants, converts, and travelers. Their negotiating strategies, and the necessary support they found on both shores of the Mediterranean prove that relations between Spaniards and Muslims were based on reasons of state and on a pragmatism that generated intense political and economic ties.These increased enormously after the peace treaties that Spain signed with Muslim countries between 1767 and 1791.

Download or read book Realizing Women s Rights to Land and other Productive Resources written by United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides detailed guidance for lawmakers and policymakers, as well as civil society organizations and other stakeholders, to support the adoption and effective implementation of laws, policies and programmes to respect, protect and fulfil womens rights to land and other productive resources. It is based on the results of an expert group meeting held in June 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland, where critical issues facing women today in relation to the enjoyment of their land rights were raised. Land itself can be understood to include farmland, wetland, pasture, rangeland, fishery, forest, as well as harvesting and hunting territories. Throughout this publication the phrase womens rights to land must be understood holistically and in a manner which is grounded in the international human rights framework, and in the context of intersecting forms of discrimination. While this publication focuses on womens rights to land, it is also recognized that land is inextricably linked to womens access to, use of and control over other productive resources, such as property, fisheries, livestock and game. Therefore, the publication also uses the phrase womens rights to land and other productive resources to reflect this broader context.
