Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El análisis furtadiano del fenómeno del subdesarrollo pronto dejó atrás los enfoques de su época que veían el atraso como una etapa anterior del desarrollo (Rostow, 1959), o aquellos que confundían crecimiento con desarrollo, al centrarse exclusivamente en el proceso de acumulación y sus determinantes, como lo hacían Harrod y Domar en sus modelos. Para Furtado, el subdesarrollo era una condición estructural específica, resultado de la forma en que evolucionó históricamente el capitalismo como sistema mundial integrado por centros y periferias. Las características esenciales de los países subdesarrollados, aquellas que los definen como tales, eran, a su juicio, la dependencia externa y la heterogeneidad estructural, que tienden a perpetuarse y reproducirse.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El desarrollo, tal como ha planteado Celso Furtado en sus trabajos, es un proceso no solamente de transformación de estructuras sino de invención; es decir, comporta un elemento de intencionalidad. En la ... situación social de nuestros países no basta contar con cuantiosos recursos para la inversión para poder crear las condiciones de un mejor futuro de la mayoría de la población. Como nos recuerda Furtado ... cuando el proyecto social da preeminencia a la efectiva mejoría de las condiciones de vida de la población, el crecimiento sufre una metamorfosis y se convierte en desarrollo. Esa metamorfosis no es espontánea, es el resultado de un propósito, de una voluntad política que tiene por meta constituir una sociedad apta para hacerse cargo del proceso del desarrollo. Este es el punto nodal del momento actual de la historia de nuestros países. Concitar la voluntad política que permita recuperar el crecimiento económico sobre una base nueva. Ese crecimiento debe estar fundado en el fortalecimiento de las capacidades básicas- de los habitantes de nuestros territorios. Debe garantizar la transformación de la agricultura, la ganadería y otras actividades primarias, permitiendo que los campesinos y otros productores directos sean sujetos relevantes en el curso de los hechos económicos ... debe ser capaz de encontrar los medios para avanzar en la industrialización con una amplia combinación tenológica, que incluya elementos de punta, pero también se asiente en la ampliación del consumo de la población. Una dinámica económica que nos dote de recursos socialmente administrados, para resolver las carencias en materia de salud y universalizar la educación. La estrategia alternativa considera el fortalecimiento del Estado democrático dotado de una amplia capacidad para promover el desarrollo. Declaración de Río de Janeiro

Book excerpt: Una metafora sobre una aldea es el punto de partida para la discusión de los modelos mentales existentes sobre el desarrollo economico y nos aproxima a una comprensión social basada en el comportamiento y en la interacción de sus actores. La construcción de un modelo de dinamica de sistemas donde se representan los procesos socioeconómicos de nuestra aldea permitira acompañar una conversacipon conducente a un proceso pedagógico basado en una simulación de diferentes acciones y decisiones de los actores. El libro intenta una aproximacion al problema de la pobreza y del desarrollo desde las perspectivas de la teoria de sistemas, la economia sistemica y la sociologia, partiendo de responderse a la pregunta fundamental acerca de la real capacidad de generacion de bienestar de los individuos y de las comunidades.

Download or read book Tomorrow We re All Going to the Harvest written by Leigh Binford and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception in 1966, the Canadian Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) has grown to employ approximately 20,000 workers annually, the majority from Mexico. The program has been hailed as a model that alleviates human rights concerns because, under contract, SAWP workers travel legally, receive health benefits, contribute to pensions, are represented by Canadian consular officials, and rate the program favorably. Tomorrow We're All Going to the Harvest takes us behind the ideology and examines the daily lives of SAWP workers from Tlaxcala, Mexico (one of the leading sending states), observing the great personal and family price paid in order to experience a temporary rise in a standard of living. The book also observes the disparities of a gutted Mexican countryside versus the flourishing agriculture in Canada, where farm labor demand remains high. Drawn from extensive surveys and nearly two hundred interviews, ethnographic work in Ontario (destination of over 77 percent of migrants in the author's sample), and quantitative data, this is much more than a case study; it situates the Tlaxcala-Canada exchange within the broader issues of migration, economics, and cultural currents. Bringing to light the historical genesis of "complementary" labor markets and the contradictory positioning of Mexican government representatives, Leigh Binford also explores the language barriers and nonexistent worker networks in Canada, as well as the physical realities of the work itself, making this book a complete portrait of a provocative segment of migrant labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

Download or read book The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies written by Henry Veltmeyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, much mainstream development discourse has sought to co-opt and neutralize key concepts relating to empowerment, participation, gender, sustainability and inclusivity in order to serve a market-driven, neoliberal agenda. Critical development studies now play a crucial role in combatting this by analyzing the systemic changes needed to transform the current world to one where economic and social justice and environmental integrity prevail. The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies takes as its starting point the multiple crises – economic, political, social and environmental – of the dominant current global capitalist system. The chapters collectively document and analyze these crises and the need to find alternatives to the system(s) that generate them. To do so, analyses of class, gender and empire are placed at the centre of discussion, in contrast to markets, liberalization and convergence, which characterize mainstream development discourse. Each contributor supplements their overview with a guide to the critical development studies literature on the topic, thereby providing scholars and students not only with a precis of the key issues, but also a signpost to further readings. This is an important resource for academics, researchers, policymakers and professionals in the areas of development studies, political science, sociology, economics, gender studies, history, anthropology, agrarian studies, international relations and international political economy.

Download or read book Transformative Constitutionalism in Latin America written by Armin von Bogdandy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking collection of essays outlines and explains the unique development of Latin American jurisprudence. It introduces the idea of the Ius Constitutionale Commune en América Latina (ICCAL), an original Latin American path of transformative constitutionalism, to an Anglophone audience for the first time. It charts the key developments that have transformed the region and assesses the success of the constitutional projects that followed a period of authoritarian regimes in Latin America. Coined by scholars who have been documenting, conceptualizing, and comparing the development of Latin American public law for more than a decade, the term ICCAL encompasses themes that cross national borders and legal fields, taking in constitutional law, administrative law, general public international law, regional integration law, human rights, and investment law. Not only does this volume map the legal landscape, it also suggests measures to improve society via due legal process and a rights-based, supranational and regionally rooted constitutionalism. The editors contend that with the strengthening of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, common problems such as the exclusion of wide sectors of the population from having a say in government, as well as corruption, hyper-presidentialism, and the weak normativity of the law can be combatted more effectively in future.

Download or read book From Extractivism to Sustainability written by Henry Veltmeyer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how extractive capitalism has developed over the past three decades, what dynamics of resistance have been deployed to combat it, and whether extractivism can ever be transformed into being a part of a progressive development path. It was not until the 20th century that the extraction of natural resources and raw materials took on a decidedly capitalist form, with the global north extracting primary commodities from the global south as a means of capital accumulation. This book investigates whether extractivism, despite its well-documented negative and destructive socioenvironmental impacts and the powerful forces of resistance that it has generated, could ever be transformed into a sustainable post-development strategy. Drawing on diverse sectoral forms of extractivism (mining, fossil fuels, agriculture), this book analyses the dynamics of both the forces of resistance generated by the advance of extractive capital and alternate scenarios for a more sustainable and liveable future. The book draws particularly on the Latin American experience, where both the propensity of capitalism towards crisis and the development of resistance dynamics to ‘extractive’ capital have had their greatest impact in the neoliberal era. This book will be of interest to researchers and students across development studies, economics, political economy, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, and Latin American affairs.
Download or read book Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies written by Eurydice Fotopoulou and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the financial crash to the climate emergency and Covid, this book demonstrates that recent crises have had unequal impacts, that they require a heterodox approach to economics for their understanding, and new ways of thinking are needed to address them. Drawing on a variety of heterodox and radical perspectives and global voices, including those from India, Africa, and South America, this collection explores the causes and impacts of global emergencies from a wide array of viewpoints. The first section outlines how the pandemic has shown up the biases of orthodox thought and policy, particularly its Eurocentric and patriarchal focus on the urban, formal economy. It outlines how adding an international dimension to institutional analysis uncovers systematic inequalities in the responses to emergencies, and how new paradigms can provide better alternatives. The massive interventionism worldwide has led to renewed interest in the global financial system, and also in Marxian approaches to money. The second section of the book therefore considers a range of alternative approaches to the study of finance – from Marx to Minsky – which are currently being revisited. The collection concludes with a suggestion for heterodox economics pedagogy, since changing economics education is vital for future dissemination of real-world ideas. The book will be of interest to a variety of researchers and postgraduate students, and lecturers, especially in the fields of development, health, labour and feminist economics, also international political economy and heterodox economics.
