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: 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.

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 Vital Decomposition written by Kristina M. Lyons and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colombia, decades of social and armed conflict and the US-led war on drugs have created a seemingly untenable situation for scientists and rural communities as they attempt to care for forests and grow non-illicit crops. In Vital Decomposition Kristina M. Lyons presents an ethnography of human-soil relations. She follows state soil scientists and peasants across labs, greenhouses, forests, and farms and attends to the struggles and collaborations between farmers, agrarian movements, state officials, and scientists over the meanings of peace, productivity, rural development, and sustainability in Colombia. In particular, Lyons examines the practices and philosophies of rural farmers who value the decomposing layers of leaves, which make the soils that sustain life in the Amazon, and shows how the study and stewardship of the soil point to alternative frameworks for living and dying. In outlining the life-making processes that compose and decompose into soil, Lyons theorizes how life can thrive in the face of the violence, criminalization, and poisoning produced by militarized, growth-oriented development.

Download or read book Social Conflict Economic Development and the Extractive Industry written by Anthony Bebbington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-09-27 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraction of minerals, oil and gas has a long and ambiguous history in development processes – in North America, Europe, Latin America and Australasia. Extraction has yielded wealth, regional identities and in some cases capital for industrialization. In other cases its main heritages have been social conflict, environmental damage and underperforming national economies. As the extractive economy has entered another boom period over the last decade, not least in Latin America, the countries in which this boom is occurring are challenged to interpret this ambiguity. Will the extractive industry yield, for them, economic development, or will its main gifts be ones of conflict, degradation and unequal forms of growth. This book speaks directly to this question and to the different ways in which Latin American countries are responding to the challenge of extractive industry. The contributors are a mixture of geographers, economists, political scientists, development experts and anthropologists, who all draw on sustained field work in the region. By digging deep into both national and local experiences with extractive industry they demonstrate the ways in which it transforms economies, societies, polities and environments. They pay particular attention to the social conflict that extraction consistently produces, and they ask how far this conflict might usher in political and institutional changes that could lead to a more productive relationship between extraction and development. They also ask whether the existence of left-of-centre governments in the region changes the relationships between extractive industry and development. The book makes clear the immense difficulties that countries and regional societies face in harnessing extractive industry for the collective good. For the most part the findings question the wisdom of the development model that many countries in the region have taken up and which emphasises the productive roles of mining and hydrocarbon industries. The book should be of interest to students and researchers of Development Studies, Geography, Politics and Political Economy, as well as Anthropology.

Download or read book Extractive Sector and Civil Society written by Flavia Milano and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4% of Latin America and the Caribbean’s GDP comes from the extractive sector. This figure is equivalent to the amount generated by agriculture in the same region. An effective engagement between governments, companies, and civil society is required to propel sustainable development. With this regional diagnosis of countries rich in natural resources like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, the IDB seeks to shed light on best practices among stakeholders of the extractive sectors. It focuses in actions of information, dialogues, consultations, collaborations, and partnerships that are driving development in the region. From the findings of the diagnosis, 3 roadmaps were drafted, to guide the stakeholders in strengthening their engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Proposals for more effective natural resource governance emphasize the importance of institutions and governance, but say less about the political conditions under which institutional change occurs. Governing Extractive Industries synthesizes findings regarding the political drivers of institutional change in extractive industry governance. It analyses resource governance from the late nineteenth century to the present in Bolivia, Ghana, Peru, and Zambia, focusing on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact. The authors focus on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact, exploring the nature of elite politics, the emergence of new political actors, forms of political contention, changing ideas regarding natural resources and development, the geography of natural resource deposits, and the influence of the transnational political economy of global commodity production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the challenges of Latin America in global environmental geopolitics. Written by leading experts, this book brings together Latin American research on global environmental change. They cover a range of topics such as climate change, water, forest and biodiversity conservation connected with science policies, public opinion, priorities of international funds, and international politics of Latin American countries. The book describes the discrepancy between the international priorities and the regional needs or country interests. It includes several case studies and analyses the cooperation in multilateral negotiations on climate change. It also offers a synthesis of debates around global environmental changes and Latin American politics, which the authors have previously promoted in different academic events in South America, including in Santiago de Chile in Chile, and Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina. This book assesses the environmental problems from different perspectives, highlights the scientific development in the environmental changes affecting Latin America and offers a new view on geopolitics to help face those issues. Specialist readers in international relations, political sciences, environmental sciences, geography and geopolitics will appreciate this up-to-date examination of Latin America and the global environmental change.

Download or read book Lecturas sobre derecho del medio ambiente Tomo XX ndices written by Luis Guillermo Acero Gallego and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hace ya veinte años que el Departamento de Derecho del Medio Ambiente de la Universidad Externado de Colombia inició la colección Lecturas sobre Derecho del Medio Ambiente. En esa época, su creador, Óscar Darío Amaya Navas, se preguntaba por el papel del derecho en la preservación de la naturaleza, indicando que debía consistir en evitar su deterioro, impulsar sanciones efectivas para contrarrestarlo y desarrollar incentivos eficaces enel marco de una política coherente con el medio ambiente (Amaya Navas, 2000). Desde el primer tomo de la colección hemos sido testigos dela forma en que el derecho ambiental ha cubierto no solo las acciones que Amaya vislumbraba sino muchas más, pues a medida que se incrementa la crisis ambiental son diversos los asuntos objeto de intervención del derecho, con el fin de lograr la preservación del entorno natural, que sigue siendo el objetivo central de esta rama del ordenamiento jurídico. En todos estos años la colección ha mantenido varios de sus aspectos característicos, el primero de ellos, y quizás el más importante, ha sido la apertura de esta rama del ordenamiento jurídico a diferentes enfoques, pues así lo exige la estirpe pluralista, democrática y liberal del Externado.Es claro que los autores han gozado de autonomía para identificar los temas yel alcance de sus investigaciones de forma que los lectores pueden encontrar encada uno de los tomos diversos puntos de vista en los análisis jurídicos realizados. Sin dogmatismos, sin líneas directrices y sin condicionamientos, más allá de los formales y de técnica jurídica que permiten validar su calidad, valiosos escritos de distintas fuentes han nutrido la colección, dando a conocer múltiples perspectivas del derecho ambiental, desde estudios jurídico-históricos y jurisprudenciales, hasta análisis de casos y evaluaciones normativas nacionales y extranjeras. Otro aspecto característico de las Lecturas es que constituyen el espacio ideal para que los profesores den a conocer los resultados de sus investigaciones, lo que resalta su doble rol de profesores-investigadores, y corrobora que no solo tienen conocimiento práctico sino que han dedicado parte de su ejercicio profesional a la investigación jurídica y al aporte doctrinal en derecho ambiental, todo ello sin obstaculizarlas contribuciones de otros expertos que permiten acceder al conocimiento que se genera en otras universidades e instituciones nacionales y extranjeras.

Download or read book Derechos ambientales en perspectiva de integralidad concepto y fundamentaci n de nuevas demandas y resistencias actuales hacia el estado ambiental de derecho Cuarta Edici n written by Gregorio Mesa Cuadros and published by Universidad Nacional de Colombia. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partiendo de una concepción integral de los derechos humanos, sustentada en su interdependencia, universalidad, globalidad y tratamiento igual, y con base en una perspectiva crítica, esta tesis da buenas razones y argumentos desde un nuevo ambientalismo popular, latinoamericano y alterglobalizador para fundamentar derechos ambientales y su concreción en el Estado ambiental de derecho, a nivel estatal y global, hacia la satisfacción de las necesidades humanas básicas de todas las personas. Los conceptos de huella y deuda ambiental, justicia ambiental, solidaridad y responsabilidad e imperativo ambiental, así como los de democracia y ciudadanía ambiental y cosmopolita, son, además, ideas básicas de límites a las acciones humanas de los poderes que, alrededor del globo, imponen y ejecutan prácticas culturales, sociales, económicas, políticas y ambientales, individuales y grupales, de apropiación, depredación, contaminación, exclusión, discriminación, marginación y empobrecimiento. Este debate se hace desde contextos socioculturales, políticos y ambientales concretos, y busca diferenciarse de las formas como el capital y el neoliberalismo intentan teñirse de verde, tratando de acomodarse a los nuevos tiempos en su idea de dar razones para la apropiación de aquello que todavía no entra en su ámbito propietarista, para continuar, con su espíritu de maximización de las ganancias, quitando valor a los bienes y poniéndoles otro valor, cuando no solamente un precio. La tesis se apoya en otras disciplinas y hace un ejercicio de inter y transdisciplinariedad, en el que además de los enfoques de la teoría crítica de los derechos humanos, la sociología del derecho y la filosofía de derecho, acoge otras disciplinas que la alimentan, como la ecología política, la economía ecológica, la filosofía política y la ética, y destaca además la paradoja entre unos derechos consagrados pero muy poco protegidos efectivamente.

Download or read book Failed Statebuilding written by Oliver Richmond and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western struggles—and failures—to create functioning states in countries such as Iraq or Afghanistan have inspired questions about whether statebuilding projects are at all viable, or whether they make the lives of their intended beneficiaries better or worse. In this groundbreaking book, Oliver Richmond asks why statebuilding has been so hard to achieve, and argues that a large part of the problem has been Westerners’ failure to understand or engage with what local peoples actually want and need. He interrogates the liberal peacebuilding industry, asking what it assumes, what it is getting wrong, and how it could be more effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first approach can be called vertical since what is explored here is the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. The second approach covers the various junctures between the body's "outside" and "inside": it can therefore be called a "psychosomatic" approach, studying the manifestation - or production - of soul and the expression of emotions through the body's attitudes, and, on another level, the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain and death. Finally, the third approach ... brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how a certain organ or bodily substance can be used to justify or challenge the way human society functions ..." - foreword Part 3.

Download or read book From Biocultural Homogenization to Biocultural Conservation written by Ricardo Rozzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess the social processes of globalization that are changing the way in which we co-inhabit the world today, this book invites the reader to essay the diversity of worldviews, with the diversity of ways to sustainably co-inhabit the planet. With a biocultural perspective that highlights planetary ecological and cultural heterogeneity, this book examines three interrelated themes: (1) biocultural homogenization, a global, but little perceived, driver of biological and cultural diversity loss that frequently entail social and environmental injustices; (2) biocultural ethics that considers –ontologically and axiologically– the complex interrelationships between habits, habitats, and co-inhabitants that shape their identity and well-being; (3) biocultural conservation that seeks social and ecological well-being through the conservation of biological and cultural diversity and their interrelationships.
