This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive overview of current trends, challenges and opportunities for metal and mineral production and use, in the context of climate change and the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. Minerals and metals are used throughout the world in manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, production of electronics and consumer goods. Alongside this widespread use, extraction and processing of mineral resources take place in almost every nation at varying scales, both in developing countries and major developed nations. The chapters in this interdisciplinary handbook examine the international governance mechanisms regulating social, environmental and economic implications of mineral resource extraction and use. The original contributions, from a range of scholars, examine the relevance of the mining industry to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reviewing important themes such as local communities Indigenous peoples, gender equality and fair trade, showing how mining can influence global sustainable development. The chapters are organised into three sections: Global Trends in Mineral Resources Consumption and Production; Technology, Minerals and Sustainable Development; and Management of Social, Environmental and Economic Issues in the Mining Industry. This handbook will serve as an important resource for students and researchers of geology, geography, earth science, environmental studies, engineering, international development, sustainable development and business management, among others. It will also be of interest to professionals in governmental, international and non-governmental organisations that are working on issues of resource governance, environmental protection and social justice.

Download or read book Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump written by Carlos Heredia-Zubieta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump examines the role that local actors in Mexico, Central America and the United States have played in shaping the Mexico-Guatemala transborder region. From governments to business and organized crime, scholars from both Mexico and the United States introduce a sophisticated approach beyond diplomatic communiqués to tell the story of how Mexico became the wall that Donald Trump promised to build. This is a story of how governments defended their sovereignty in their discourse, only to pave the way for punitive policies that hurt their fellow citizens. The inequalities brought by the extractive economy, the homicides and displacement wrought by the systemic violence, the exodus pushed by environmental degradation and the political crisis generated by economic, political, and military elites need to be addressed to make the transborder region livable for its own population. Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump will be of interest to scholars and students of international relations and Latin American Studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers, practitioners, and general readers who are following US-Mexico and US-Central America relations.

Download or read book The ISA Handbook in Contemporary Sociology written by Ann Denis and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-05-22 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Representing the fruit of in-depth dynamics it invites us to give all necessary attention to the concepts of conflict, cooperation and competition. By reflecting on the possible articulations of these concepts and attempting to apply them in diverse fields of social science the editors give voice to those who are studying the world as it is and perform the service of returning a set of concepts, approaches or paradigms to their legitimate place." - Michel Wieviorka, President, International Sociological Association This ISA Handbook presents and tracks the transformation of the societies and social relations that characterize the twenty-first century. The volume is organized around a conceptualization of three processes that are fundamental to the analyses of micro, meso and macro social relations: conflict, competition, and cooperation. In addition to chapters that delve into sociological theory, case studies and overviews of subfields discuss and contextualize debates from an international perspective, incorporating relevant material about North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Chapters on topics and fields crucial to the experience of people around the world include, among others: childhood studies, consumption, hunger, labour studies, peace-keeping, law, health, sport, and welfare. Systematic and informed, the handbook will serve readers in all branches of the social sciences, providing both experienced researchers and novices with the materials to explore the different domains of contemporary life.

Download or read book Financing Regional Growth and the Inter American Development Bank written by Ernesto Vivares and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis of the current global financial order is challenging us to critically reflect on how this order has been driven, and the development outcomes produced by its central political and economic actors. There is a great deal of academic knowledge about the role of the international financial institutions, powerful states and capital markets in international development, but there is little understanding of how regional dynamics and regional institutions influence global governance and developing countries. This book offers an independent and grounded investigation concerning the political economic role of Regional Development Banks through a study of the world’s leading regional development bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The book examines the political economy of the IDB and its role in regional and national development during the neoliberalisation processes of the 1990s. In particular, the investigations explore the IDB’s power in regional and national development – via its technical, political and financial interventions – to frame policy alternatives, absorb opposition forces, support specific coalition forces and justify a particular direction of development, all in order to legitimize specific political economic projects directed by market-led pro-reform coalitions aligned with global financial forces and financial development guidelines. This book will be relevant to scholars and professionals interested in the international and regional political economy of development financing.

Download or read book Rumo a uma cobertura universal de sa de e equidade na Am rica Latina e no Caribe written by Tania Dmytraczenko and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nas últimas três décadas, muitos países da América Latina e Caribe reconheceram a saúde como um direito humano. Desde o início dos anos 2000, 46 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados recebem cobertura de programas de saúde com direitos explícitos a atendimento. Essas reformas foram acompanhadas por um aumento do gasto público com saúde, financiado em grande medida pelas receitas gerais que priorizam ou visam explicitamente a população que não tem capacidade de pagamento. O compromisso político em geral se traduziu em orçamentos maiores e na aprovação de legislação que insula recursos para a saúde. Muitos países priorizaram o atendimento de saúde primária com boa relação de custo-benefício e adotaram métodos de pagamento que incentivam a eficiência e a prestação de contas por resultados, proporcionando à s autoridades do setor de saúde mais poder para induzir os prestadores a cumprirem as prioridades de saúde pública. Apesar do progresso, ainda persistem disparidades no financiamento e na prestação de serviços de qualidade entre os subsistemas de saúde. Cumprir o compromisso da cobertura universal de saúde exigirá esforços concertados para melhorar a geração de receitas de formal fiscalmente sustentável e aumentar a produtividade em termos de despesas. Em Rumo a uma Cobertura Universal de Saúde e Equidade na América Latina e Caribe: Evidência de Países Selecionados, os autores mostram que a evidência da análise de 54 pesquisas domiciliares corrobora que os investimentos para ampliar a cobertura de saúde estão gerando resultados. Embora os pobres ainda apresentem resultados de saúde piores que os riscos, as disparidades diminuíram consideravelmente — em particular nos estágios iniciais da vida. Os países alcançaram altos níveis de cobertura e equidade na utilização de serviços de saúde materna e infantil. O quadro tem mais nuanças e não é tão positivo quando se trata da situação de saúde dos adultos e da prevalência de doenças e condições crônicas de saúde. A cobertura para doenças não transmissíveis não é alta e continua a pender mais para os mais abastados. A prevalência de doenças não transmissíveis não ocorreu como esperado, tendo em vista a queda na mortalidade; o melhor acesso a serviços de diagnósticos entre as pessoas mais riscas pode estar mascarando mudanças na prevalência efetiva. Gastos catastróficos com saúde caíram na maior parte dos países. No entanto, o quadro com respeito à equidade é mais misto e indica limitações na medição. Embora a taxa de empobrecimento em razão de gastos com saúde seja baixa ou em declínio, 2 a 4 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados ainda ficam abaixo da linha da pobreza em razões de gastos com saúde. Esforços de monitoramento sistemático da qualidade do atendimento de saúde na região são ainda incipientes. No entanto, a análise da literatura revela deficiências importantes na qualidade da saúde, bem como diferenças substanciais entre os subsistemas. Melhorar a qualidade do atendimento e garantir a sustentabilidade dos investimentos em saúde continuam a ser itens pendentes da agenda.
