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.

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...
Cómo funciona nuestra democracia
Chile vive un momento histórico. Nos enfrentamos a una crisis de legitimidad y confianza, un cuestionamiento a las desigualdades y discriminaciones de nuestra sociedad, que se han acrecentado mientras vivimos una pandemia de alcance global. Estas experiencias nos han hecho cuestionar la forma en que vivimos y organizamos el poder político. Cómo funciona nuestra democracia es un libro colaborativo que fue escrito desde la paridad y la multidisciplinariedad y su objetivo central es plantearnos aquellos temas e interrogantes que están estrechamente relacionados con la configuración de la democracia chilena. Escrito y revisado en medio de una pandemia, este volumen ofrece un análisis actual del país, pero además señala algunos caminos para la construcción de una sociedad diferente en la cual, sin duda, aportará a los debates fundamentales que estamos desarrollando como sociedad durante este y los próximos años.
