Business and Sustainability
Demands for sustainability policies have set new challenges for business both on the individual firm level and on the level of organized business interests. This edited volume brings together economic, social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of sustainability that comprise different challenges for business processes and activities. The aim is to develop an overarching framework to the study of sustainability and business and to advance an interdisciplinary analytical perspective. The book establishes a balanced account that equally represents business as problem causers as well as problem solvers, and therefore responds to the urgent need to investigate the intersection between sustainability issues and business participation.

Los retos de la gobernanza minero-energética
Con el ánimo de nutrir el debate sobre la "locomotora minero-energética" en el país, se presenta esta aproximación interdisciplinaria que, centrada en actores no estatales, pretende aportar a la reflexión sobre los numerosos dilemas que plantea la explotación de recursos naturales. Esta publicación es el resultado del trabajo de estudiosos quienes desde el Centro de Investigaciones y Proyectos Especiales (CIPE) de la Facultad de Finanzas, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Externado y de otras universidades en Europa y Canadá analizan los discursos y prácticas que se construyen desde la sociedad civil frente a la minería y el petróleo. Luego, dadas las particularidades del caso colombiano, los autores examinan las respuestas de los grupos armados ilegales y de quienes buscan combatirlos o los resisten.
Transparent Governance in an Age of Abundance
During the last decade, the Latin American and Caribbean region has experienced unprecedented natural resources abundance. This book highlights how transparency can help realize the benefits and reduce negative externalities associated with the extractive industries in the region. A central message is that high-quality and well-managed information is critical to ensure the transparent and effective governance of the sector. The insights from experiences in the region can help policymakers design and implement effective regulatory reforms and adopt international standards that contribute to this goal. This is particularly important at a time when the recent boom experienced by extractives in the region may be coming to an end.
Minería y desarrollo. Tomo 4
El presente libro hace parte de una gran publicación sobre Minería y desarrollo elaborada por un grupo interdisciplinario de más de noventa investigadores de la Universidad Externado de Colombia. El Tomo 4 que aquí se presenta constituye parte fundamental de esa discusión amplia que debe darse en torno a la minería en Colombia. Las contribuciones de los diferentes autores se plantean como descriptivas de los retos que en la materia enfrenta la industria extractiva, y de las diversas formas que asume el involucramiento de las comunidades; pero también dan luces para comprender mejor la importancia y papel de la sociedad civil en la búsqueda de soluciones. El texto reúne productos de ...

Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States
Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarán, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
