Decolonising and Internationalising Geography
International scholarship is increasingly aware that the ‘geographical tradition’ is a contentious and contested field: while critical reflections on the imperial past of the discipline are still ongoing, new tendencies including de-colonial studies and geographies of internationalism are focusing on the progressive aspects of plural geographical traditions. This volume contains selected papers presented at two Symposia of the Commission on the History of Geography of the International Geographical Union within the 25th International Congress of History of Science and Technology which took place in Rio de Janeiro in July 2017. The papers address processes of ‘decolonising’ and ‘internationalising’ science in the 19th and 20th century, with a special emphasis on geography. Internationalization, circulation and dissemination of geographical concepts and ideas are in the focus. The volume includes case studies on Latin America, tropical regions as well as Europe and Japan. There is also an emphasis on the history of international congresses and organizations and on the international circulation of knowledge.
Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions
The Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions draws upon a unique and multidisciplinary network of experts from around the world to explore the expanding field of energy transitions. This Handbook recognizes that considerable changes are underway or are being developed for the modes in which energy is sourced, delivered, and utilized. Employing a sociotechnical approach that accounts for economics and engineering, as well as more cross-cutting factors, including innovation, policy and planning, and management, the volume considers contemporary ideas and practices that characterize the field. The book explores pressing issues, including choices about infrastructure, the role of food systems an...
Energy Democracies for Sustainable Futures
Energy Democracies for Sustainable Futures explores how our dominant carbon and nuclear energy assemblages shape conceptions of participation, risk, and in/securities, and how they might be reengineered to deliver justice and democratic participation in transitioning energy systems. Chapters assess the economies, geographies and politics of current and future energy landscapes, exposing how dominant assemblages (composed of technologies, strategies, knowledge and authorities) change our understanding of security and risk, and how they these shared understandings are often enacted uncritically in policy. Contributors address integral relationships across the production and government of mater...

La disputa por la laguna de Chignahuapan en el Estado de México Proyectos de desecación, trasvase de agua y defensa de la tierra
El libro se sumerge en el análisis de la disputa por la laguna Chignahuapan en el Estado de México. Lo que examina es cómo los productores lacustres y los ayuntamientos de los pueblos de San Mateo Texcalyácac, Almoloya del Río y Santa Cruz Atizapán, ribereños a esta laguna donde nace el río Lerma, se enfrentaron a hacendados, gobiernos estatal y federal por la propiedad y usufructo de la laguna. La obra se concentra en las formas y estrategias que estos pueblos emprendieron en defensa de su laguna en el siglo XIX y a mediados del XX, frente a los intentos de desecación y trasvase de agua de sus manantiales para abastecer a la ciudad de México en el proyecto denominado primera fase del Sistema Lerma, en la cuarta década del siglo pasado.
Justicia y seguridad hídrica en tiempos de desigualdad social
Este libro reúne estudios sobre experiencias locales de aprovechamiento del agua que exponen escenarios de enorme injusticia y que, por consiguiente, comprometen la seguridad hídrica (SH) en su argumentación hegemónica. En este compendio de estudios se prentende demostrar que el problema teórico-político que acompaña al discurso de la escasez ha movido el foco hacia la inseguridad.
Geographers
The 40th volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies focuses exclusively on geographers from the Global South. For the first time in the serial's history, the entire volume is devoted to geographers who were born or who lived in South America and is combined with an editorial which roots their lives and careers in the context of the Global South more generally. These geographers' biobibliographies, which consider their personal and professional trajectories and encounters, deepen our understanding of geography as a whole, and raise important wider questions of the scope and place of Southern scholarship. This volume includes meticulously detailed volumes on five of the most prominent a...

Ninguém bebe minério
As análises aqui apresentadas, fundadas em casos empíricos e contextos locais articulados a realidades regionais, nacionais e transnacionais, são capazes de fornecer um quadro das consequências das assimetrias de poder sobre a garantia dos direitos das populações afetadas pela mineração e de como o avanço de políticas de desenvolvimento nacional e regional de grande porte sobre o território se chocam com a diversidade sociocultural e ambiental brasileira. Encontram-se aqui, além de um quadro dos ataques aos direitos das populações atingidas, um retrato de estratégias alternativas de relacionamento com a natureza e propostas de justiça ambiental surgidas da luta e organização dessas mesmas populações.
