Environmental Governance in Latin America
This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.
Latin America in Times of Global Environmental Change
This volume discusses the challenges of Latin America in global environmental geopolitics. Written by leading experts, this book brings together Latin American research on global environmental change. They cover a range of topics such as climate change, water, forest and biodiversity conservation connected with science policies, public opinion, priorities of international funds, and international politics of Latin American countries. The book describes the discrepancy between the international priorities and the regional needs or country interests. It includes several case studies and analyses the cooperation in multilateral negotiations on climate change. It also offers a synthesis of debat...
Environmental Politics in Latin America
Since colonial times the position of the social, political and economic elites in Latin America has been intimately connected to their control over natural resources. Consequently, struggles to protect the environment from over-exploitation and contamination have been related to marginalized groups’ struggles against local, national and transnational elites. The recent rise of progressive, left-leaning governments – often supported by groups struggling for environmental justice – has challenged the established elites and raised expectations about new regimes for natural resource management. Based on case-studies in eight Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Colo...
Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment
The Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment provides an in-depth and accessible analysis and theorization of environmental issues in the region. It will help readers make connections between Latin American and other regions’ perspectives, experiences, and environmental concerns. Latin America has seen an acceleration of environmental degradation due to the expansion of resource extraction and urban areas. This Handbook addresses Latin America not only as an object of study, but also as a region with a long and profound history of critical thinking on these themes. Furthermore, the Handbook departs from most treatments on the topic by studying the environment as a social iss...
(R)Evolução Digital
Os reflexos que as novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação irradiam sob a sociedade é, hoje, um caminho sem volta. Capitaneada pelo desenvolvimento daquilo que viria a se popularizar sob o nome de internet, sistema então desvendados pelos estadunidenses ainda no último quarto do século passado, e hoje reforçado pela companhia de inúmeros outros avanços ocorridos em termos de tecnologia da informação, é que notamos o início de um novo tempo ou, como preferem alguns, uma nova forma de estrutura de sociedade. A presente obra, intitulada (R)EVOLUÇÃO DIGITAL: ANÁLISES E PERSPECTIVAS DAS NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS DA INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO NO DIREITO, NA EDUCAÇÃO E NA GESTÃO DE NEGÓCIOS, nasce, não apenas da necessidade de estarmos atentos ao que há de mais novo no que toca aos recentes [porém intensos] reflexos decorrentes do avanço tecnológico ante o mundo em que vivemos, mas, sobretudo, da missão e característica que sempre marcou a Faculdade de Direito de Santa Maria (FADISMA) como uma instituição de nível superior diferenciada e inovadora.
Environmentalism under Authoritarian Regimes
Since the early 2000s, authoritarianism has risen as an increasingly powerful global phenomenon. This shift has not only social and political implications, but also environmental implications: authoritarian leaders seek to recast the relationship between society and the government in every aspect of public life, including environmental policy. When historians of technology or the environment have investigated the environmental consequences of authoritarian regimes, they have frequently argued that authoritarian regimes have been unable to produce positive environmental results or adjust successfully to global structural change, if they have shown any concern for the environment at all. Put a...
