Book excerpt: La infraestructura vial es un eje fundamental del desarrollo económico de ciudades, regiones y países. La inversión en este tipo de infraestructura en Colombia se da en su mayoría bajo el esquema de alianza público-privada alcanzando una cifra cercana a 58 billones de pesos en el marco de los programas de tercera y cuarta generación de concesiones (vías 3G y 4G), entre las cuales se encuentran las llamadas "vías para la prosperidad", mientras que otros tipos de infraestructura cuentan apenas con alrededor de 8 billones. Dado el alto porcentaje de inversión pública dedicado a este tipo de infraestructura, este trabajo se pregunta ¿para quién es la prosperidad que traen estas vías? A partir de un análisis de los documentos de política pública que las estructuran, entrevistas y datos de prensa, este trabajo examina: 1) el impacto de la infraestructura vial en la competitividad y el crecimiento económico de los territorios; 2) la utilidad de estas vías para la ruralidad, regiones con brechas de desarrollo y poblaciones vulnerables y; 3) la distribución de riesgos y beneficios resultante de los esquemas de asociatividad público-privada. Los resultados dejan ver que las vías 3G y 4G, corresponden a corredores viales de primer nivel que conectan centros de consumo y producción con zonas portuarias, bajo un paradigma de desarrollo enfocado a las exportaciones, lo que las convierte en una poderosa herramienta para el crecimiento de la economía y la competitividad nacional, pero sus beneficios se concentran en las grandes ciudades, zonas portuarias o territorios con economías minero-energéticas, mientras que las ciudades pequeñas y territorios rurales quedan rezagados. Para que el impacto de estas vías sea mayor en el desarrollo local y regional de Colombia, el trabajo concluye con una sección que recomienda articular las vías 3G y 4G con un programa serio de vías terciarias y secundarias que se beneficie también de las alianzas público-privadas.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dado el desarrollo de infraestructura que se vive en el país actualmente y en la ciudad de Barranquilla, nace la necesidad de analizar y entender si los proyectos de infraestructura vial urbana responden a las necesidades y exigencias básicas a nivel nacional e internacional. Impulsado por el crecimiento cultural, poblacional y económico y por la necesidad de cumplir con una proyección sostenible, que garantice una reducción en desigualdad social y económica e impulse el cuidado del medio ambiente y mejore la calidad de vida de los habitantes, se pretende establecer un enfoque priorizando a los entes más vulnerables dentro del sistema de infraestructura vial, estableciendo una gestión a partir del diseño y la planificación desde una visión inclusiva. Este proyecto de grado pretende el estudio de prácticas, guías y experiencias internacionales que representen éxito y las bases para el desarrollo de infraestructura vial urbana incluyente y sostenible, con el fin de definir unas metas de análisis y calificación de proyectos que puedan ser evaluados desde el diseño. Esta investigación establece una comparación cualitativa, a partir de un proyecto vial urbano realizado en la ciudad de Barranquilla, con el fin de poder establecer si se encuentra enmarcado dentro de las metas establecidas y así poder definir vacíos que puedan y/o deban ser atendidos a partir de las experiencias internacionales. Por último, se definen lineamientos básicos a partir de las metas establecidas, concluyendo el análisis del caso de estudio y planteando una serie de recomendaciones que ayuden a enfocar una visión incluyente y sostenible a la hora de diseñar y planificar proyectos de infraestructura vial urbana, con el ánimo de garantizar resultados que favorezcan al cuidado del medio ambiente, que garanticen la accesibilidad y asequibilidad de todos los usuarios y el futuro crecimiento económico, social y cultural de todos.

Download or read book Handbook on Public Private Partnerships in Transportation Vol II written by Simon Hakim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​Second in a two-volume set, this book discusses the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in global transportation infrastructure, specifically focusing on roads, bridges, and parking. To provide vital services in an era of shrinking government budgets, public-private partnerships have become an increasingly important part of travel infrastructure worldwide. This book describes and analyses the structure of various models of PPPs in several countries, evaluating their effectiveness, and drawing policy implications for future use. The chapters were written by leading international researchers and practitioners in the transportation field where each chapter is a case study on the adoption, implementation, and outcome of transportation services. Taken together, these diverse case studies provide an integrated framework for evaluating, using PPPs, and suggesting policy implications to both the public and the private sectors in transportation. Providing rigorous empirical analysis of PPPs in transportation, this volume will be of interest to researchers in public administration, political science, public choice, and economics as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in establishing and monitoring PPPs in transportation.

(Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary 1996, 97) Let us begin by stating the obvious. Acts of organized violence are not necessarily of human nature, but they are endogenous events arising within the an intrinsic part evolution of complex systems of social interaction. To be sure, all wars have features in common - people are killed and property is destroyed - but in their origin wars are likely to be at least as different as the social structures from which they arise. Consequently, it is unlikely that there can be a simple theory of the causes of war or the maintenance of peace. The fact that wars are historical events need not discourage us. On the contrary, we should focus our understanding of the dimensions of each conflict, or classes of conflict, on the conjuncture of causes at hand. It follows that the study of conflict must be an interdisciplinary one. It is or a penchant for eclecticism that leads to that conclusion, but the not humility multi-dimensionality of war itself.

Download or read book An Opportunity for a Different Peru written by Marcelo Giugale and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.

Download or read book The State of State Reforms in Latin America written by Eduardo Lora and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America suffered a profound state crisis in the 1980s, which prompted not only the wave of macroeconomic and deregulation reforms known as the Washington Consensus, but also a wide variety of institutional or 'second generation' reforms. 'The State of State Reform in Latin America' reviews and assesses the outcomes of these less studied institutional reforms. This book examines four major areas of institutional reform: a. political institutions and the state organization; b. fiscal institutions, such as budget, tax and decentralization institutions; c. public institutions in charge of sectoral economic policies (financial, industrial, and infrastructure); and d. social sector institutions (pensions, social protection, and education). In each of these areas, the authors summarize the reform objectives, describe and measure their scope, assess the main outcomes, and identify the obstacles for implementation, especially those of an institutional nature.

Download or read book Reflections on the Regional Seminar written by United Nations and published by UN. This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regional Seminar on Local Governments and Indigenous Peoples was organized because of the common interest and joint effort by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Mexico, the UNDP Democratic Governance Practice Area of the Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, the UNDP Regional Service Centre in Panama and UNDP's Bureau for Development Policies (BDP/DGG). The objective was to make better known the various initiatives in the region on issues concerning local governments and indigenous peoples. The seminar offered an opportunity to know, share and systematize lessons learned, progress made, obstacles encountered, and initiatives proposed in the region. In Latin America reflection about democracy and local governance has a central place. This is a key reason to strengthen channels for reflection and provide spaces where different local realities can be discussed. Doing so will give more elements to tackle the region's historic challenges in national settings that are marked by a distancing between citizens and politics and its actors. It will also enable us to confront the emergence or intensification of social phenomena that impede human development due to marginalization, inequality, discrimination, insecurity and increasing violence.
