Download or read book Oil Injustice written by Patricia Widener and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil Injustice examines the mobilization efforts of four communities with different oil histories in response to the construction of an oil pipeline. Using multiple sites in Ecuador as case studies, Patricia Widener examines the efforts of grassrootsgroups, non-governmental organizations, activist mayors, and transnational advocates that mobilized to redefine the country's oil path and to represent the voice of many local communities and organizations that sought to offer an alternative to the nation's oil dependency and to the use of its oil wealth. These groups generated divergent and at times rival reactions to the pipeline, though at their core, the multiple campaigns developed from a shared history and awareness of a number of marginalized communities and degraded environments in areas most important to the oil process. Widener shows that global environmental justice demands are bound within a capitalist political system, where community activists, national NGOs and their international allies are forced to seek local change rather than attempt to defeat a disabling and unequal system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecuador is a country with exceptional natural resource and environmental advantages and challenges. It is strategically located and has considerable oil reserves in the interior and the coastal region. This document does not aim to describe the state of the environment in Ecuador. Rather, its main objective is to provide an analytical foundation to identify the country's institutional weaknesses and provide practical policy options that will enhance its capacity to establish and address environmental policy priorities linked to poverty reduction and sustained economic growth. Linking environmental considerations to sectoral projects and policies will provide important information on key synergies and tradeoffs involving the environment, economic growth, and poverty. The second objective is to guide environmental assistance and capacity building supported by the bank or other development partners through the assessment of capacity issues, especially in relation to specific environmental priorities. The main elements of the Country Environment Analysis (CEA) include analyses of: a) environment and natural- resource-related institutions, b) the environmental aspects of the oil sector, c) forestry, d) conservation, e) environmental-health, and f) climate change. The CEA also identifies policy recommendations and describes the role that the World Bank could play in helping the Government of Ecuador (GOE) strengthen its institutional capacity in order to address the country's natural resource and environmental problems in a more effective way.

Book excerpt: Das Buch präsentiert einen multidisziplinären Ansatz für das unerbittliche Streben nach Entwicklung im globalen Süden, indem es sich auf ein halbes Jahrhundert jüngster lateinamerikanischer Wirtschaftsgeschichte konzentriert. Darüber hinaus zielt es darauf ab, die akademische Debatte neu zu beleben, ob Rohstoffreichtum Segen oder Fluch ist. Der bahnbrechende diachrone Vergleich zweier ecuadorianischer Ölbooms, 1972-1980 und 2003-2014, zeigt Prozesse der Kontinuität und des Wandels in der Fähigkeit des peripheren Staates, in den nationalen Entwicklungsprozess und seine Folgen für die soziale Ordnung einzugreifen, eingerahmt von den zeitgenössischen Formen des globalen Kapitalismus und dem Eindringen des Umweltgedankens in die Entwicklungspolitik. Abstract By focusing on a half-century of recent Latin American economic history, this book presents a multidisciplinary approach to examining the relentless pursuit of development in the Global South and aims to revitalise the academic debate on whether having abundant natural resources is a blessing or a curse. Its pioneering diachronic comparative approach of analysing two Ecuadorian oil booms, those in 1972-1980 and 2003-2014, reveals processes of continuity and change in the capacity of this peripheral state to intervene in its national development process and the consequences of this on its social formation, framed by the contemporary trends of global capitalism and the irruption of environmental thinking into development policymaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During Latin America’s China-led commodity boom, governments turned a blind eye to the inherent flaws in the region’s economic policy. Now that the commodity boom is coming to an end, those flaws cannot be ignored. High on the list of shortcomings is the fact that Latin American governments—and Chinese investors—largely fell short of mitigating the social and environmental impacts of commodity-led growth. The recent commodity boom exacerbated pressure on the region’s waterways and forests, accentuating threats to human health, biodiversity, global climate change and local livelihoods. China and Sustainable Development in Latin America documents the social and environmental impact of the China-led commodity boom in the region. It also highlights important areas of innovation, like Chile’s solar energy sector, in which governments, communities and investors worked together to harness the commodity boom for the benefit of the people and the planet.
