Download or read book The Coal of El Cerrej n written by Harvey F. Kline and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1980 the Colombian government made an agreement with an Exxon subsidiary for the development of the coal of the northern section of the El Cerrejón region, thus entering into one of the largest joint ventures with a transnational enterprise in the history of Latin America. In May 1981 the government awarded coal-development rights in central El Cerrejón to a Spanish-Colombian consortium. This book is an analysis of the decisions that led to the two contracts and of the bargaining of an oil-importing developing country with transnational enterprises (TNEs) over a previously unexploited resource during the energy crisis. Combining the literature on dependencia and that on bargaining between developing countries and TNE's, this book advances a "dependent bargaining" hypothesis. It finds that there was a continuum of Colombian policy makers, from the "Nationalist" who favored energy development with no TNE involvement, to the "Reactionary" who was willing to agree to any energy development proposed by the foreign companies. Between those two extremes were numerous varieties of dependent bargainers who accepted the constraints of dependency and TNE participation in energy contracts as givens, but who used their political and technical abilities to obtain what they perceived as the best deal available to the country. After a general introduction, the book investigates the Colombian context for policy making, presenting the patterns that had developed by 1970. It then considers the El Cerrejón decisions made between 1970 and 1981, giving historical detail and analyzing the evolution of dependent bargaining over time. Finally, it presents conclusions dealing with the variety of dependent bargainers and offering an explanation of the variation; a comparison of the El Cerrejón cases with similar decisions in other developing countries; and the prospects for future Colombian bargaining, in the light of the El Cerrejón decisions. The Coal of El Cerrejón shows that matters such as coal development in Third World countries are not completely determined by international forces, but rather that much of the credit for beneficial contracts--and the blame for prejudicial ones--rightly is deserved by the political elites of the countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America and one of the continent's most populous nations. It has substantial oil reserves and is a major producer of gold, silver, emeralds, platinum, and coal, along with a significant number of natural resources. Colombia has also been ravaged by a decades-long violent conflict involving outlawed armed groups, drug cartels, and gross violations of human rights. Recently the country has made some progress towards improving security, and President Santos has pledged to continue to improve security by passing laws to strengthen the judicial system; a reform of the manner of distributing royalties paid by mining and petroleum companies; and a tougher law against corruption. The Historical Dictionary of Colombia covers the history of Colombia through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and a bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Colombia.
Download or read book Energy Resource Assessment written by Alfred Petrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic concepts utilized in analysis of non-renewable energy resources are presented in this study. Dr. Petrick explains the process of exploration in terms of the present value of expected discoveries, efficiency in exploration, and the budgeting process, stressing objectives and strategies designed to help avoid "gambler's ruin" and aid in the efficient spending of exploration dollars. The case of a wildcat oil-gas prospect in Colorado illustrates the fundamentals of petroleum evaluation, including calculation of reserves and the expected value of discovery. The history of the Ekofisk discovery in the North Sea serves as an example of the stages of large-scale petroleum development, including financing and cost evaluation. Discussions and a case history of the Cerrejon project in Colombia are also given. Dr. Petrick closes with a chapter on cost estimation, clarifying the concepts used in order-of-magnitude cost estimation of minerals and fuels projects.
Download or read book Word Mingas written by Miguel Rocha Vivas and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Word Mingas is an English-language translation by Paul M. Worley and Melissa Birkhofer of the award-winning book Mingas de la palabra written by Miguel Rocha Vivas (Casa de las Americas, 2016). It is an encompassing study of oralitures--multilayered cultural knowledge shared through the power of orality--and written literatures by authors from Colombia and other regions in the hemisphere who self-identify as Indigenous. In consequential dialogue with the most recent theories of decoloniality and interculturality, the book weaves and compares two threads of literary critique Rocha Vivas names as oralitegraphies and mirrored visions. The study focuses on texts produced from the early 1990s to the present, and offers productive avenues to discuss, understand, and foster dialogue with the wide array of symbolic-literary systems of the original peoples. Rocha Vivas offers a valuable contribution to the much-needed dialogue on the basic rights of self-representation, self-determination, and the coexistence of multiple systems of representation and identity.
