This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los últimos años de diálogos y acuerdos de paz han sido un reto para la construcción de democracia, país y perspectiva de una paz estable y duradera, donde la materialización de los derechos de los asociados sea el horizonte de actuación estatal y social, a favor de los que menos pueden y tienen la capacidad de ser sujetos. Los aportes del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales (GIDCA), presentados en este libro que lleva por título Derechos Ambientales, Conflictividad y Paz Ambiental, corresponden a la primera parte del Informe de Investigación 2016-2017 (el libro que recoge la segunda parte es Estándar Ambiental y Derechos Ambientales en posacuerdos de paz: algunos estudios de caso). Estas contribuciones son relevantes, ya que abordan, desde una perspectiva teórica ambiental crítica, las cuestiones jurídico políticas relativas a la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria, así como sus causas y consecuencias sobre ecosistemas y culturas, las cuales se han agudizado en las últimas décadas de hegemonía del capitaloceno, el caos climático y las afectaciones subsiguientes, resultado de las amenazas, el desconocimiento y los atentados a los derechos ambientales. En este ejercicio aún están pendientes múltiples tareas para lograr un cambio de paradigma desde enfoques ambientales críticos, y para llegar a una comprensión amplia y un profundo debate sobre los diversos problemas y conflictos ambientales. La participación ambiental debe irrigar las diferentes instancias estatales, sociales y comunitarias, donde los movimientos y redes por la defensa del ambiente, es decir, de sus ecosistemas y culturas, contribuyan a la pervivencia de la vida humana presente y futura y de otros seres sobre la Tierra. Una comprensión integral y sistémica de los derechos, la política, la sociedad, el Estado y la paz, desde el paradigma ambiental puede contribuir significativamente a ello.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra, Estándar ambiental y derechos ambientales en posacuerdos de paz: algunos estudios de caso, corresponde a la segunda parte del Informe de investigación 2016-2017 del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales (GIDCA), cuya parte general se publicó en el libro Derechos ambientales, conflictividad y paz ambiental. Como es usual en nuestros procesos investigativos, los estudios de caso nos permiten contrastar los desarrollos teóricos que formulamos en la primera parte de nuestra investigación con los avances o retrocesos en la protección del ambiente (los ecosistemas y las culturas que en él se encuentran) y de los derechos ambientales de los sujetos de derecho en perspectiva ambiental; y observar si estos los confirman o no y de qué manera, partiendo de los desafíos jurídico-políticos que trae la terminación de la expresión armada de los conflictos ambientales que perviven en diferentes comunidades de Colombia. En este sentido, GIDCA propone diversos elementos conceptuales que son claves para una investigación jurídico-política y ética en tiempos difíciles para los derechos y la dignidad ambiental (ecosistémica y humana) desde una comprensión ambiental en estricto sentido que, desde un análisis jurídico-crítico e integral, precisa que la paz debe ser ambiental y no solo la terminación de la confrontación armada. En estos estudios de caso evidenciamos cómo la conflictividad ambiental requiere de precisiones conceptuales y de una fundamentación jurídico-política y ética renovada para responder a los retos de construir y consolidar una paz estable y duradera en los territorios; una paz que ofrezca, en perspectiva ambiental, tanto verdad como justicia, reparación y garantía de no repetición para que se superen las injusticias e indignidades antiambientales y que, por tanto, no deje ninguna clase de excusa para reiniciar, por la vía de las armas, nuevas demandas de derechos.

Download or read book Transforming Spatial Data into Public Policies for Social Justice and Environmental Sustainability written by Alexandra Aragão and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental justice and social justice are well established concepts in social research. This book goes beyond the established discourse to show how Geographic Information Systems can unveil higher levels of spatial unfairness when both forms of injustice coincide in the same place. Territorial injustice is the result of the disproportionately higher exposure of vulnerable communities to pollution and environmental risks. Overlapping layers of georeferenced environmental and social information generate maps depicting territorial injustice which can be a powerful tool to facilitate social dialogue and prompt policy change. This volume brings approaches from ten Latin American countries to demonstrate how the interdisciplinarity between law and Geographic Information Systems can contribute to the development of fairer public policies, and prevent and mitigate cases of extreme injustice. The case studies presented are relevant to support the development of geolaw, and to inspire pragmatic strategies aimed both at social justice and environmental sustainability.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity written by Tema Milstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity brings the ecological turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a broad, insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene, a new “epoch of humility.” Forty international authors craft a kaleidoscopic lens, focusing on the following key interdisciplinary inquiries: Part I illuminates identity as always ecocultural, expanding dominant understandings of who we are and how our ways of identifying engender earthly outcomes. Part II examines ways ecocultural identities are fostered and how difference and spaces of interaction can be sources of environmental conviviality. Part III illustrates consequential ways the media sphere informs, challenges, and amplifies particular ecocultural identities. Part IV delves into the constitutive power of ecocultural identities and illuminates ways ecological forces shape the political sphere. Part V demonstrates multiple and unspooling ways in which ecocultural identities can evolve and transform to recall ways forward to reciprocal surviving and thriving. The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity provides an essential resource for scholars, teachers, students, protectors, and practitioners interested in ecological and sociocultural regeneration. The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity has been awarded the 2020 Book Award from the National Communication Association's (USA) Environmental Communication Division.

Download or read book Social Rights Judgments and the Politics of Compliance written by Malcolm Langford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few decades have witnessed an explosion of judgments on social rights around the world. However, we know little about whether these rulings have been implemented. Social Rights Judgments and the Politics of Compliance is the first book to engage in a comparative study of compliance of social rights judgments as well as their broader effects. Covering fourteen different domestic and international jurisdictions, and drawing on multiple disciplines, it finds significant variance in outcomes and reveals both spectacular successes and failures in making social rights a reality on the ground. This variance is strikingly similar to that found in previous studies on civil rights, and the key explanatory factors lie in the political calculus of defendants and the remedial framework. The book also discusses which strategies have enhanced implementation, and focuses on judicial reflexivity, alliance building and social mobilisation.

Download or read book From Environmental to Ecological Law written by Kirsten Anker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book increases the visibility, clarity and understanding of ecological law. Ecological law is emerging as a field of law founded on systems thinking and the need to integrate ecological limits, such as planetary boundaries, into law. Presenting new thinking in the field, this book focuses on problem areas of contemporary law including environmental law, property law, trusts, legal theory and First Nations law and explains how ecological law provides solutions. Written by ecological law experts, it does this by 1) providing an overview of shortcomings of environmental law and other areas of contemporary law, 2) presenting specific examples of these shortcomings, 3) explaining what ecological law is and how it provides solutions to the shortcomings of contemporary law, and 4) showing how society can overcome some key challenges in the transition to ecological law. Drawing on a diverse range of case study examples including Indigenous law, ecological restoration and mining, this volume will be of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers of environmental and ecological law and governance, political science, environmental ethics and ecological and degrowth economics.

Download or read book Credit Nation written by Claire Priest and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American colonists laid the foundations of American capitalism with an economy built on credit Even before the United States became a country, laws prioritizing access to credit set colonial America apart from the rest of the world. Credit Nation examines how the drive to expand credit shaped property laws and legal institutions in the colonial and founding eras of the republic. In this major new history of early America, Claire Priest describes how the British Parliament departed from the customary ways that English law protected land and inheritance, enacting laws for the colonies that privileged creditors by defining land and slaves as commodities available to satisfy debts. Colonial governments, in turn, created local legal institutions that enabled people to further leverage their assets to obtain credit. Priest shows how loans backed with slaves as property fueled slavery from the colonial era through the Civil War, and that increased access to credit was key to the explosive growth of capitalism in nineteenth-century America. Credit Nation presents a new vision of American economic history, one where credit markets and liquidity were prioritized from the outset, where property rights and slaves became commodities for creditors' claims, and where legal institutions played a critical role in the Stamp Act crisis and other political episodes of the founding period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might an analysis of politics which focuses on the operation of power through space and place, and on the spatial structuring of inequality, tell us about the world we make for ourselves and others? From the national border to the wire fence; from the privatisation of land to the exclusion and expulsion of persecuted peoples; questions of space and place, of who can be where and what they can do there, are at the very heart of the most important political debates of our time. Bringing together an interdisciplinary collection of authors deploying diverse perspectives and methodological approaches, this book responds to the pressing demand to reflect on and engage with some of the key questions raised by a political analysis of space and place. Its chapters chart the ways in which inequality and exclusion are played out in spatial terms, exploring the operations of power and resistance at the micro-level of the individual home and small community, analysing modes of securitisation and fortification utilised in the interests of wealth and power, and documenting the ways in which space and place are being transformed by changing socio-economic and cultural demands. As well as analysing the ways in which forms of exclusion and persecution are manifest spatially, the chapters in this book also attend to the forms of resistance and contestation which emerge in response to them. Resistance is found in the persistence of those who build and rebuild their homes and communities in a world which seems bent on their exclusion. At the same time life on the peripheries can give rise to new conceptions of citizenship and public space as well as to new political demands which seek to (re)claim space and contest the dominant order. Bringing together scholars working in fields as diverse as political science, geography, international studies, cultural anthropology, architecture, political philosophy and the visual arts, this book offers readers access to a range of contemporary case studies and theoretical perspectives. Relevant, timely and thoroughly accessible, this text offers an integrated approach to what can be a dauntingly diverse area of study and will be of interest not only to those working in fields such as architecture, political theory and geography but also to non-specialists and students.

Download or read book The African Canadian Legal Odyssey written by Barrington Walker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Canadian Legal Odyssey explores the history of African Canadians and the law from the era of slavery until the early twenty-first century. This collection demonstrates that the social history of Blacks in Canada has always been inextricably bound to questions of law, and that the role of the law in shaping Black life was often ambiguous and shifted over time.

This outstanding collection will appeal to both advanced specialists and undergraduate students and makes an important contribution to an emerging field of scholarly inquiry.
