Book excerpt: The plight of the urban poor in Mexico has changed little since World War II, despite the country's impressive rate of economic growth. Susan Eckstein considers how market forces and state policies that were ostensibly designed to help the poor have served to maintain their poverty. She draws on intensive research in a center city slum, a squatter settlement, and a low-cost housing development. Originally published in 1977.

Download or read book Systemic Crises of Global Climate Change written by Phoebe Godfrey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociological literature tends to view the social categories of race, class and gender as distinct and has avoided discussing how multiple intersections inform and contribute to experiences of injustice and inequity. This limited focus is clearly inadequate. Systemic Crises of Global Climate Change is an edited volume of 49 international, interdisciplinary contributions addressing global climate change (GCC) by intentionally engaging with the issues of race, gender, and class through an intersectional lens. The volume challenges and inspires readers to foster new theoretical and practical linkages and think beyond the traditional, and oftentimes reductionist, environmental science frame by examining issues within their turbulent political, cultural, and personal landscapes. Varied media and writing styles invite students and educators to reflexively engage different, yet complementary, approaches to GCC analysis and interpretation, mirroring the disparate voices and viewpoints within the field. The second volume, Emergent Possibilities for Sustainability will take a similar approach but will examine the possibilities for solutions, as in the quest for global sustainability. This book is a valuable resource for academics, researchers and both undergraduate and post-graduate students in the areas of Environmental Studies, Climate Change, Gender Studies and International studies as well as those seeking a more intersectional analysis of GCC.
Download or read book Environmental Impact Statement EIS for the Hurricane Amelioriation Research Project written by United States. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hurricane Amelioration Research Project is a proposed experiment to be directed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collaboratively with the Mexican Secretariat of Agriculture and Hydrology. The primary goal of the experiment is to test the hypothesis that maximum surface winds in hurricanes can be reduced 10 to 15 percent or more by seeding the proper clouds in specified portions of the storms with freezing nuclei (silver iodide). SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) prepared the bulk of this report during September 1977 under contract to NOAA. The report presents the results of an analysis of the environmental effects of performing the experiment in the eastern North Pacific off the west coast of Mexico. The analysis covers the environmental effects of dispensing silver iodide and of any resulting changes in the hurricanes; it does not cover environmental effects of the deployment and operation of project aircraft.

Download or read book Alienation of Church Wealth in Mexico written by Jan Bazant and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and the State in Mexico became prominent soon after independence in 1821, and during the next three decades national and state governments made various attempts to reduce ecclesiastical influence in the social, economic and political life of the nation. Few of such efforts met with much success, and it was not until 1856 that a major reform was initiated. Legislation was issued which affected all spheres of clerical activity but the most vital and controversial aspect of the reform involved the measures adopted to dispossess the Church of its wealth. The extensive ecclesiastical holdings of urban and rural real estate and capital were nationalized and redistributed. Professor Bazant examines earlier attempts at nationalization, and describes in detail the implementations of the 1856 Lerdo Law and subsequent decrees. Using selected areas of the country, he traces the precise effects of the redistribution of Church property and capital, describing the terms of sale or transfer, the number of sales, the buyers, their nationality and occupation, and the total value of the amounts involved.

Download or read book Indigenous Peoples Poverty and Human Development in Latin America written by Gillette Hall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-12-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous people constitute a large portion of Latin America's population and suffer from widespread poverty. This book provides the first rigorous assessment of changes in socio-economic conditions among the region's indigenous people, tracking progress in these indicators during the first international decade of indigenous peoples (1994-2004). Set within the context of existing literature and political changes over the course of the decade, this volume provides a rigorous statistical analysis of indigenous populations in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, examining their poverty rates, education levels, income determinants, labour force participation and other social indicators. The results show that while improvements have been achieved in some social indicators, little progress has been made with respect to poverty.

Download or read book Mexico Low Income Housing written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the shortcomings of current housing policies, and provides a framework for analysis of alternative policies. Its message is threefold: First, housing has a significant role in terms of basic social support, where the housing unit is a source of capital accumulation, thus a key to expanding Mexico's middle class, from a minority to a majority. Second, the country is facing a two-tiered housing market, those that can afford formal housing, and the near majority who are not served by current federal programs. Third, the housing finance system has amalgamated into multiple institutions, with unclear accountability, and divergent criteria for subsidized credit. The report further reviews the significant challenges facing housing demand, supply, and government intervention, stating that in the absence of viable alternatives, many Mexicans households are under-housed, and suffer from insecure tenure, crowding, and poor quality of housing. This weakness exacerbates poverty, by limiting capital formation, and the role of shelter in improving the asset base of the poor, and, adversely impacts the national economy. The country requires a substantial program of support for low-income housing over the next two decades. In the formal market, reform is necessary to increase effectiveness of current programs so as to open the market to a wider range of private mortgage originators, and investors. And, given the limited fiscal capacity, trade-offs between the scope and depth of support to different segments of the market must be made. Public financial support to the middle market should be incrementally withdrawn, and focused more directly to the poor, requiring a coordinated strategy among public and quasi-public housing agencies to strengthen the market, where a major role for the new Housing Commission would be to oversee implementation of such strategy. Moreover, demand-side subsidies are necessary to support the poor, as well as norms and practices adjusted to foster progressive housing.
