Getting Heard but Not Listened To
This book examines the process of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Brazil through the lens of community involvement. The author argues that the implementation of controversial projects, such as the Volta Grande mining project, demonstrate the failure of the current system to acknowledge the interests of local communities. Using international comparisons of public policy on environmental issues, the author proposes a model which aims to improve public participation in Brazilian environmental decisions.
The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.
Impedance Spectroscopy and its Application in Biological Detection
This book includes basics of impedance spectroscopy technology, substrate compatibility issues, integration capabilities, and several applications in the detection of different analytes. It helps explore the importance of this technique in biological detection, related micro/nanofabricated platforms and respective integration, biological synthesis schemes to carry out the detection, associated challenges, and related future directions. The various qualitative/quantitative findings of several modules are summarized in the form of the detailed descriptions, schematics, and tables. Features: Serves as a single source for exploring underlying fundamental principles and the various biological app...
The Routledge Handbook of Urban Studies in Latin America and the Caribbean
This handbook presents the great contemporary challenges facing cities and urban spaces in Latin America and the Caribbean. The content of this multidisciplinary book is organized into four large sections focusing on the histories and trajectories of urban spatial development, inequality and displacement of urban populations, contemporary debates on urban policies, and the future of the city in this region. Scholars of diverse origins and specializations analyze Latin American and Caribbean cities showing that, despite their diversity, they share many characteristics and challenges and that there is value in systematizing this knowledge to both understand and explain them better and to promo...
A Atuação Parlamentar e seu Limite Jurídico-Político
Potencializado pela atuação camuflada dos algoritmos, o cenário de pós-verdade radicaliza a perspectiva cética e coloca a dimensão institucional da política legislativa em absoluta e irretratável suspeição. Nesse contexto é que surgem importantes questões sobre a atuação dos parlamentares tanto na esfera pública quanto na esfera institucionalizada do poder político, qual seja, a do parlamento. O que os políticos eleitos pelo povo por meio de um sistema de regras eleitorais podem ou devem poder fazer? Quais comportamentos são ou devem ser tolerados? Como tratar institucionalmente desvios comportamentais dos políticos legiferantes? E, por fim, a questão central que Caio Lucca Damazio se propõe a enfrentar é: como o próprio Poder Legislativo lida com os comportamentos desviantes do seu corpo político, especialmente diante da possibilidade de cassação de mandato por quebra de decoro parlamentar? A investigação proposta pelo autor busca explicitar quais seriam os limites de atuação parlamentar no âmbito daquele processo, cujo recorte para análise é a Câmara dos Deputados brasileira.
