This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro tiene como punto de partida el examen de algunos documentos elaborado en el ámbito del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, para después viajar a través de diferentes espacios conceptuales como la filosofía del derecho, la bioética, la biopolítica y la filosofía de la biología, de los que se tomaron algunos conceptos apropiados para formular una explicación de los fundamentos del derecho humano al agua. Así, la obra ofrece una mirada alternativa, crítica y propositiva al contenido normativo del derecho humano al agua existente, apuntando, en última instancia, a entenderlo como un potencial puente para avanzar en la reintegración del humano y la naturaleza, necesaria después de varios siglos de modernidad occidental, además de útil para todos aquellos que aborden el estudio e investigación de este tema en general y, más específicamente, del derecho humano al agua.
Download or read book Agua segura como derecho humano written by María Cristina Garros and published by Ediciones Universidad Católica de Salta. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuidar el agua es una responsabilidad de todos y debe ser un eje fundamental en las políticas de Estado, además de estar en el centro de la discusión de los distintos organismos nacionales e internacionales. Este libro nace como iniciativa de los miembros del Instituto de Derecho Ambiental y de la Sustentabilidad (IDEAS) de la Universidad Católica de Salta y se trata de una obra de múltiples autores que desde sus diferentes especialidades realizan un aporte significativo ante esta crisis vital que atraviesa nuestro siglo. "Sin agua, el mundo es insostenible", con estas palabras de Néstor Cafferatta sintetizamos el contenido del volumen, en donde se exponen diferentes perspectivas sobre la importancia del agua para todos los seres vivientes, para la preservación de la naturaleza en su conjunto y para la integridad del medio ambiente. Por otro lado, en él se afirma contundentemente que la disponibilidad del agua "segura" o potable es un derecho humano ya que de ella dependen la calidad y nivel de vida de los seres humanos, su salud, su bienestar y su crecimiento. Siendo esta la situación, nos dice Graciela Ayala Flores: "El agua brota como el mayor conflicto geopolítico del siglo XXI, ya que se espera que en el 2025 la demanda de este elemento tan necesario para la vida humana será un 56 % superior que el suministro".

Book excerpt: Pese a su evidente importancia para garantizar la subsistencia humana, el acceso al agua es un derecho relativamente novedoso y de incompleta juridificación. El aumento exponencial en la demanda y el carácter limitado de este recurso generan en la actualidad situaciones de superabundancia para unos y falta absoluta para otros. A medida que se agudizan las contradicciones medioambientales del actual modelo de crecimiento y se observan sus efectos sobre el clima y la naturaleza, se hace más evidente que recursos naturales como éste desempeñan una función clave para un modelo sostenible de desarrollo humano. Mientras al acceso básico al agua se le niegue la condición de derecho fundamental considerándolo una simple mercancía o una concesión discrecional de los poderes públicos, se condenará a millones de seres humanos a poner en riesgo su seguridad biológica, ambiental, económica y social. Resulta por ello imprescindible el reconocimiento universal del derecho humano al agua, como límite a los poderes privados y a los propios Estados que pretenden hacer un uso arbitrario del recurso. Más allá de las dificultades de orden material y social que rodean la satisfacción de este derecho, el presente estudio pretende reflejar la importancia de ampliar el conocimiento no sólo de las dimensiones ambientales, sociales o económicas del derecho al agua, sino también de su faceta jurídica, ofreciendo una panorámica completa de la situación actual del mismo y proponiendo algunas líneas de investigación y acción para el futuro inmediato.

Download or read book Wagadu Volume 3 written by Wagadu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations has proclaimed the 21st century to be the century of water. In this volume, Water and Women in Past, Present and Future, scholars analyze the gendered political economy of water resource allocations and importantly, offer recommendations for viable, women-friendly solutions to address scarcity and distribution, among other issues. Contributors also explore feminist analyses of the aesthetic dimension of water and the feminine, since water is often associated with women, shown in cross-cultural examples of mythology, symbols and legends. Intersecting the fields of hydro-politics and aesthetics, this book should be of interest to policy analysts, activists, and academics.
Download or read book The Ecotourism Extraction Nexus written by Bram Büscher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecotourism and natural resource extraction may be seen as contradictory pursuits, yet in reality they often take place side by side, sometimes even supported by the same institutions. Existing academic and policy literatures generally overlook the phenomenon of ecotourism in areas concurrently affected by extraction industries, but such a scenario is in fact increasingly common in resource-rich developing nations. This edited volume conceptualises and empirically analyses the ‘ecotourism-extraction nexus’ within the context of broader rural and livelihood changes in the places where these activities occur. The volume’s central premise is that these seemingly contradictory activities are empirically and conceptually more alike than often imagined, and that they share common ground in ethnographic lived experiences in rural settings and broader political economic structures of power and control. The book offers theoretical reflections on why ecotourism and natural resource extraction are systematically decoupled, and epistemologically and analytically re-links them through ethnographic case studies drawing on research from around the world. It should be of interest to students and professionals engaged in the disciplines of geography, anthropology and development studies.
Download or read book Europe and the Americas written by Erik André Andersen and published by Hotei Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe and the Americas: Transatlantic Approaches to Human Rights, leading scholars of different disciplines offer new insight into transatlantic approaches to human rights. At a time when global challenges (economic crises, poverty, terrorism, mass migration and climate change) have a profound impact on the universal development of human rights and democracy, a common transatlantic understanding of human rights may prove instrumental in meeting these challenges. Through conceptual discussions, by analysing different human rights topics in different periods and regions (Europe, the United States and Latin America), and by focusing on a diverse range of actors, from policy makers and judicial institutions to academics and civil society, the authors identify key developments of human rights within a transatlantic framework.

Download or read book Stemming the Tide written by Madeline Baer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When privatization of public services swept the developing world in the 1990s, it was part of a seemingly unstoppable tide of neoliberal reforms aimed at reducing the role of the state and reorienting economies toward market-led policymaking. Water privatization, one of the more unpopular policies of the neoliberal development paradigm, sparked a particularly fierce debate and gave rise to a movement of self-proclaimed "water warriors" who advocated for legal recognition of water as a basic human right to be protected and fulfilled by states. Broadening the debate, Madeline Baer questions whether either approach -- the market approach or a human rights-based approach -- leads to improved access to water. More specifically, Baer explores how the human right to water and sanitation is fulfilled in different contexts, whether neoliberal policies like privatization pose a threat to the right to water, and whether rights fulfillment leads to meaningful social change. Using two case studies -- Chile, the most extreme case of water privatization in the developing world, and Bolivia, the birthplace of the global movement for the human right to water -- Stemming the Tide uncovers the conditions under which the right to water and sanitation can be fulfilled, as well as the obstacles to fulfilment. Ultimately this book argues that deepening mechanisms for citizen participation, strengthening accountability, and creating alternatives to the state/market binary can help achieve meaningful social transformation in the water sector.
