Energy Law in Colombia
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides a systematic approach to legislation and legal practice concerning energy resources and production in Colombia. The book describes the administrative organization, regulatory framework, and relevant case law pertaining to the development, application, and use of such forms of energy as electricity, gas, petroleum, and coal, with attention as needed to the pervasive legal effects of competition law, environmental law, and tax law. A general introduction covers the geography of energy resources, sources and basic principles of energy law, and the relevant governmental institutions. Then follows a det...
Net Zero and Natural Resources Law
States, corporations, and other actors worldwide have committed to measures aimed at bringing down global emissions to net zero by the year 2060 or earlier. While the need for a clean energy transition is clear, incoherently designed transition programs can pose complex environmental, social, and governance risks, including legal liability and protracted disputes. At the same time, the rush for minerals needed to manufacture clean energy technologies raises fundamental questions–most crucially, how to ensure the exploration and development of energy transition minerals in a manner that does not exacerbate resource conflicts, resource nationalism, human rights violations, protectionism, ene...
Illegality, Inc.
"In this groundbreaking ethnography, Ruben Andersson, a gifted journalist and anthropologist, travels with a group of African migrants from Senegal and Mali to the Spanish North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. Through the voices of his informants themselves, Anderson explores, viscerally and emphatically, how migration meets and interacts with its target--the clandestine migrant. This vivid, rich work examines the subterranean migration flow from Africa to Europe, and shifts the focus from the concept of "illegal immigrants" to an exploration of suffering and resilience. This fascinating and accessible book is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of international migration and the changing texture of global culture"--
Predatory Economies
A study of the modes of predation used by and against the Sanema people of Venezuela. Predation is central to the cosmology and lifeways of the Sanema-speaking Indigenous people of Venezuelan Amazonia, but it also marks their experience of modernity under the socialist “Bolivarian” regime and its immense oil wealth. Yet predation is not simply violence and plunder. For Sanema people, it means a great deal more: enticement, seduction, persuasion. It suggests an imminent threat but also opportunity and even sanctuary. Amy Penfield spent two and a half years in the field, living with and learning from Sanema communities. She discovered that while predation is what we think it is—invading ...
Zimbabwe's Migrants and South Africa's Border Farms
This book addresses the complex labour and life conditions faced by workers in the agricultural borderlands of northern South Africa.
Gender, Activism, and International Development Intervention in Kyrgyzstan
The collapse of the Soviet Union brought about the sudden expansion of the ‘developing world’, as the populations of many of the former Soviet republics were abruptly plunged into poverty and international development agencies rushed to their aid. In this account of development intervention since 1991 in Kyrgyzstan, one of these republics, Joanna Pares Hoare draws on feminist critiques to chart how concepts of gender equality, civil society, and activism came to be instrumentalised in development interventions in the post-Soviet space. Ethnographic data gathered through interviews and observation with employees and volunteers in local NGOs provides further insight into what this has meant for activists in Kyrgyzstan who are striving for progressive social change.
Regulación minero-energética de Colombia en los últimos 25 años: evolución, retos y perspectivas
El libro Regulación minero-energética de Colombia en los últimos 25 años: evolución, retos y perspectivas presenta una investigación en la que varios profesores del Departamento, investigado- res del Grupo de Investigación y miembros del Observatorio en Transición Energética, aportan a la comunidad académica estudios de carácter jurídico, técnico y económico del sector minero, eléctrico y de hidrocarburos. Las cuatro partes de la obra colectiva contemplan un análisis retrospectivo de los últimos 25 años que permite hacer un balance actualizado de los subsectores y propuestas para los años venideros a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Es el resultado de la experiencia académica del Departamento de Derecho Minero Energético, en los más de 25 años de actividad dedicada al estudio de la regulación de los mercados de hidrocarburos, la regulación de los mercados eléctricos, la regulación minera, de los biocombustibles, las energías renovables y el medioambiente con un enfoque transversal en aspectos sociales, en el que se conjuga la ciencia política, las ciencias jurídicas, las ciencias económicas, las ingenierías, entre otras.
Affective Encounters
Against the background of China's rapidly growing, and sometimes highly controversial, activities in Africa, this book is among the first of its kind to systematically document Sino-African interactions at the everyday level. Based on sixteen months of ethnographic fieldwork at two contrasting sites in Lusaka, Zambia—a Chinese state-sponsored educational farm and a private Chinese family farm—Di Wu focuses on daily interactions among Chinese migrants and their Zambian hosts. Daily communicative events, e.g. banquets, market negotiations, work-place disputes, and various social encounters across a range of settings are used to trace the essential role that emotion/affect plays in forming and reproducing social relations and group identities among Chinese migrants. Wu suggests that affective encounters in everyday situations—as well as failed attempts to generate affect—should not be overlooked in order to fully appreciate Sino-African interactions. Deeply researched and with rich ethnographic detail, this book will be relevant to scholars of anthropology, international development, and others interested in Sino-African relations.

Los mercados de gas y su regulación en Iberoamérica
Tanto en las actuales circunstancias de los sistemas energéticos como en el futuro, el gas natural tiene una importancia decisiva, en paises productores y en aquellos paises que no tienen gas o que necesitan mayor diversificación gasista. En el caso de La-tinoamérica parece conveniente que los paises saquen toda el rendimiento a sus reservas de gas natural. La política energética descansa sobre tres pilares: seguridad del suministro, eficiencia económica y sustentabilidad. Y el gas natural satisface, en mayor o menor grado, esas tres exigencias. En este contexto, este libro trata de analizar el equilibrio existente entre la liberalización y el mercado, por un lado, y la regulación y la intervención gubema-mental, por otro, para la consecución de los objetivos de política energéticas en su proyección sobre el gas natural. El libro aborda la regulación de los mercados de gas en Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, México, Paraguay, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela, y dada la importando de la integración de los mercados, se examina el modelo sopapeo y las procesos de in-tegración en Latinoamérica.
