Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La economía política feminista constituye una aproximación crítica y alternativa a los análisis de la economía convencional y a las deficiencias estructurales de un sistema capitalista, heteropatriarcal y racista que ha puesto en jaque la sostenibilidad de la vida, causando y agravando el conflicto capital-vida. La financiarización descontrolada, la mercantilización de cada vez más procesos de la vida íntima, la privatización creciente de medios de producción y sectores económicos, la invisibilización de la economía de cuidados o la sobreexplotación de una fuerza de trabajo feminizada y precaria son algunos de los aspectos abordados por la economía política feminista. Esta corriente económica pone la vida, sostenible y digna, en el centro. Articula sus principios en torno a un feminismo del 99%, que recuperaría el interés por las cuestiones redistributivas y por las preocupaciones medioambientales, negociando continuamente sobre las cuestiones del poder y la diferencia.Y se alinea con las posiciones interseccionales que entienden que la realidad socioeconómica está mediada por una multiplicidad de factores (de género, sexualidad, raza o etnia, localización, acceso a recursos...) que no deben ignorarse si se quieren afrontar los problemas sistémicos en un contexto global de complejidad e incertidumbre. Trasladando los aportaciones teóricas de la economía política feminista a los análisis de las tendencias de la economía global, su autora aborda en profundidad, y mediante un completo repaso a la literatura especializada, las claves para entender las causas y efectos del colapso ecosocial. Ofrece, en definitiva, una rigurosa propuesta teórica que pueda ser de utilidad para concebir nuevos horizontes emancipatorios que prioricen la sostenibilidad de la vida en la organización del sistema económico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este trabajo se presenta un enfoque de la Economía Feminista, haciendo énfasis en los enfoques androcéntricos, las diferencias con la economía de género, la Economía Feminista de la Conciliación, la Economía Feminista de la Ruptura y la Sostenibilidad de la vida. En un esfuerzo por remarcar los aportes realizados desde la ideología feminista a la ciencia económica ante el conflicto asimétrico de las relaciones de género, desafiando así a las ideologías tradicionales y rechazando los enfoques dualistas que dicotomizan las relaciones entre las esferas pública y privada, la producción y la reproducción, el hogar y la economía, lo personal y lo político, los dominios del sentimiento y la intuición y los de la razón. Todo esto con la finalidad de llegar a una teoría sobre la mujer y el desarrollo. Palabras clave: feminismo, economía, sostenibilidad de la vida, mujer.

Book excerpt: En tiempos de crisis civilizatoria, se multiplican las reflexiones sobre la necesidad de cambios en el sistema socio-económico dominante. A nivel mundial, se empieza a articular un heterogéneo conjunto de teorías y prácticas socio-económicas bajo el concepto de Economía(s) Solidaria(s) (en adelante ES). Se trata de experiencias construidas sobre la base de relaciones horizontales entre sus integrantes y orientadas por los principios de solidaridad y apoyo mutuo. Emprendimientos que consideran el entorno ambiental y comunitario como elementos centrales de su accionar y que, para fortalecerse, buscan alianzas a través del establecimiento de redes de colaboración. Aunque desde perspectivas feministas se plantea que estas experiencias son una oportunidad para la construcción de modelos alternativos, también surgen cuestionamientos debido a la reproducción de sesgos androcéntricos en la mirada sobre la economía presentes en la ES. En particular se cuestiona: la reproducción de roles jerárquicos de poder, la falta de visibilidad sobre las tareas que sostienen la vida, y la necesidad de una redistribución de estas dentro de los colectivos que la componen. A pesar de las críticas, se reconoce en la ES una posibilidad para la conformación de relaciones sociales justas y equitativas, por lo que se plantea la necesidad de establecer puentes y diálogos entre ambas propuestas. El objetivo de esta tesis ha sido contribuir al diálogo entre ES y feminismo, identificando las formas de interdependencia en experiencias de ES, y analizando su aporte en la construcción de relaciones equitativas. Realizamos un proceso de investigación-activista de corte etnográfico, orientado por la epistemología de los conocimientos situados. Nos vinculamos con el campo-tema, y nos relacionamos con dos experiencias: el Ateneu Cooperativo la Base en Barcelona y la Comisión de Economías Feministas de la red de ES en Cataluña. Tomamos como herramienta de análisis la propuesta de la Sostenibilidad de la vida desarrollada por las economistas feministas. El proceso de investigación desde el diálogo y los encuentros, nos permitió reflexionar sobre: i) la necesidad de visibilizar y reconocer los procesos de interdependencia a través de la responsabilización colectiva de todas las necesidades; ii) la necesidad del compartir espaciotiempo en las dinámicas colectivas como posibilidad para los buenos encuentros; iii) la potenciación de las prácticas que ya existen dentro de la ES desde una perspectiva de la sostenibilidad de la vida; iv) la inspiración para el cambio de agenda que potencie poner la vida en el centro, incluso en la formas de habitar nuestras investigaciones; y v) una apuesta radical por una política de los afectos.

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.

Book excerpt: This volume makes the case for the fair treatment of female migrant workers from the global South who are employed in wealthy liberal democracies as care workers, domestic workers, home health workers, and farm workers. An international panel of contributors provide analyses of the ethical, political, and legal harms suffered by female migrant workers, based on empirical data and case studies, along with original and sophisticated analyses of the complex of systemic, structural factors responsible for the harms experienced by women migrant workers. The book also proposes realistic and original solutions to the problem of the unjust treatment of women migrant workers, such as social security systems that are transnational and tailored to meet the particular needs of different groups of international migrant workers.
Download or read book Disenchanted Modernities written by Tobias Haller and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mega-Infrastructure Projects (MIPs) represent a central element of globalized development. MIPs like the Chinese driven `Belt and Road Initiative' (BRI) include large-scale agrarian, road, rail, port and energy networks. They are complex ventures involving international capital and multiple stakeholders. `Disenchanted Modernities' presents 16 case studies showing that the promise of a sustainable modern development by MIPs leave many local users disenchanted: They don't profit from the MIPs but lose access to their resources often held in common. The book describes the strategies of states and companies as well as local responses to MIPs in Asia, Africa, Americas and Europe.
Download or read book Neoliberalism and Unequal Development written by Roser Manzanera-Ruiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, neoliberalism has evolved from ideology to political programme, from political programme to public policy, and from public policy to constitutional rule. This process of change has been made possible through the endorsement of an uncritical, a-historical, and apolitical economic theory that legitimized technocratic despotism, financial deregulation, precarious labour, and constitutional-political emptying. This book examines critical perspectives in mainstream neoliberal development analysis. It examines the neoliberal experiment as a global historical construct through the cases of Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The analysis begins in 1980 with the Structural Adjustment Plans in Latin America and Africa, followed in 1990 by Maastricht in the case of Europe and the euphoric shift that took place, typified by the Africa Rising narrative, which attempts to promote the idea of an economically emerging continent. It also considers the weakness of the state resulting from neo-liberal austerity and fiscal stabilization policies, which have amplified the inability to collectively deal with the social, economic, and political impact of the COVID-19 crisis. One of the key features of the book is the extensive comparative analysis between regions, using case studies, including examples from African countries. The authors connect the different regional perspectives, included in the book, in a clear and coherent way, such that it will appeal to students and scholars interested in the social, economic, and political outcomes of globalization and will also be of interest to official development agencies and third sector organizations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
Download or read book Bioregional Planning and Design Volume I written by David Fanfani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of the bioregionalist theory in the field of spatial planning and design as a suitable approach to cope with the growing concerns about the negative effects of metropolization processes and the need for a sustainable transition. The book starts out with a section on rethinking places for community life, and discusses the reframing of regional governance and development as well as social justice in spatial planning. It introduces the concept of the urban bioregion, a pivotal concept that underpins balanced polycentric spatial patterns and supports self-reliant and fair local development. The second part of the book focuses on planning, and particularly on the issues that arise from the ‘circular’ recovery of the relation between city and agro-ecosystems for integrated planning and resilience of settlements and discusses topics such as foodshed planning, biophilic urbanism and the integration of rural development and spatial planning. This volume sets out the reference framework for Volume II which deals with more specific and operational issues related to spatial policies and settlement design.

Book excerpt: `A hopeful but nonetheless hard-hitting analysis of alternative economic spaces proliferating in the belly of the capitalist beast. In this book Leyshon, Lee and Williams convene fascinating studies of exchange, enterprise, credit and community. They invite us onto a new and promising discursive terrain where we can analyze, criticize and above all recognize actually existing economies of diversity in the wealthy countries of the West′ - J K Gibson-Graham, Australian National University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst In the context of problems in the `new economy′ - from dot.com start-ups, high-technology, and telecoms - Alternative Economic Spaces presents a critical evaluation of alternatives to the global economic mainstream. It focuses on the emergence of alternative economic geographies within developed economies and analyzes the emergence of alternative economic practices within industrialized countries. These include the creation of institutions like Local Exchange and Trading Systems, Credit Unions, and other social economy initiatives; and the development of alternative practices from informal work to the invention of consumption sites that act as alternatives to the monoply of the `big-box′, multi-chain retail outlets. Alternative Economic Spaces is a reconsideration of what is meant by the `economic′ in economic geography; its objective is to bring together some of the ways in which this is being undertaken. The volume shows how the `economic′ is being rethought in economic geography by detailing new economic geographies as they are emerging in practice.
Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Political Ecology explores the gendered relations of ecologies, economies and politics in communities as diverse as the rubbertappers in the rainforests of Brazil to activist groups fighting racism in New York City. Women are often at the centre of these struggles, struggles which concern local knowledge, everyday practice, rights to resources, sustainable development, environmental quality, and social justice. The book bridges the gap between the academic and rural orientation of political ecology and the largely activist and urban focus of environmental justice movements.

Download or read book The Ethics of Vulnerability written by Erinn Gilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As concerns about violence, war, terrorism, sexuality, and embodiment have garnered attention in philosophy, the concept of vulnerability has become a shared reference point in these discussions. As a fundamental part of the human condition, vulnerability has significant ethical import: how one responds to vulnerability matters, whom one conceives as vulnerable and which criteria are used to make such demarcations matters, how one deals with one’s own vulnerability matters, and how one understands the meaning of vulnerability matters. Yet, the meaning of vulnerability is commonly taken for granted and it is assumed that vulnerability is almost exclusively negative, equated with weakness, dependency, powerlessness, deficiency, and passivity. This reductively negative view leads to problematic implications, imperiling ethical responsiveness to vulnerability, and so prevents the concept from possessing the normative value many theorists wish it to have. When vulnerability is regarded as weakness and, concomitantly, invulnerability is prized, attentiveness to one’s own vulnerability and ethical response to vulnerable others remain out of reach goals. Thus, this book critiques the ideal of invulnerability, analyzes the problems that arise from a negative view of vulnerability, and articulates in its stead a non-dualistic concept of vulnerability that can remedy these problems.
