Transboundary Policy Challenges in the Pacific Border Regions of North America
"Transboundary Policy Challenges" responds to a growing interest in borderlands environmental policy by highlighting significant transboundary research and practices being undertaken within and across the Pacific border regions of North America. Growing concern about the seriousness of environmental problems, particularly in high-growth border areas, coupled with the rising awareness of the complexities entailed in wise development decisions, has spurred recognition that new realities require new responses. Critical for effective environmental protection, restoration, and education is a sharing of understanding and effort across borders. "Transboundary Policy Challenges" advances transborder environmental research and discusses sensible policy directions with particular focus on critical areas of international concern and engagement: land and water use planning; regional growth management; trade and transportation corridors; environmental education; and travel and tourism. Contributors to the volume represent a range of disciplines, as well as institutions in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
La organización administrativa ambiental. Una mirada al Sistema Nacional Ambiental (SINA)
La "estructura del poder público" es un tema de alta complejidad e importancia cuyo estudio es compartido por disciplinas como el derecho constitucional y el derecho administrativo; corresponde al llamado "derecho orgánico o estructural del Estado". El libro realiza planteamientos en torno a la parte estática del derecho administrativo, entendida como aquella que se concentra en la organización y estructura de la administración. En el caso de la organización administrativa ambiental requiere de soluciones heterogéneas para la complejidad de los conflictos que aborda donde existe una concurrencia y convergencia de competencias administrativas. El derecho de organización adquiere relev...
Environmental Priorities and Poverty Reduction
Environmental degradation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and decreased productivity. Urban and indoor air pollution; inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; natural disasters (mainly floods and landslides); and land degradation are the environmental problems associated with the highest social and economic costs, falling most heavily on vulnerable people, especially poor children under five years old. This book begins by exploring institutional change and environmental priorities in Colombia over the past 50 years, a time of substantial progress in environmental protection and rapid transition from a largely rural to a highly urbanised economy. Part 2 assesses the burden of disease rooted in inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; poor air quality; and natural disasters; and the environmental management practices to reduce that burden. A discussion of the environmental costs of rapid and unplanned urbanisation is also included. Part 3 assesses the sustainable management of Colombia's rich endowment of natural resources.

China and Sustainable Development in Latin America
During Latin America’s China-led commodity boom, governments turned a blind eye to the inherent flaws in the region’s economic policy. Now that the commodity boom is coming to an end, those flaws cannot be ignored. High on the list of shortcomings is the fact that Latin American governments—and Chinese investors—largely fell short of mitigating the social and environmental impacts of commodity-led growth. The recent commodity boom exacerbated pressure on the region’s waterways and forests, accentuating threats to human health, biodiversity, global climate change and local livelihoods. China and Sustainable Development in Latin America documents the social and environmental impact of the China-led commodity boom in the region. It also highlights important areas of innovation, like Chile’s solar energy sector, in which governments, communities and investors worked together to harness the commodity boom for the benefit of the people and the planet.
Colombia
Recent political changes in Colombia have opened up possibilities to think beyond the long-standing conflict and violence to promote a development agenda, based upon economic growth, social welfare and environmental protection. This publication contains various policy papers which seek to contribute to the national debate on options to address these development challenges. The book is intended to provide the incoming Colombian presidential administration with a comprehensive policy discussion regarding the country's development agenda.
Tendencias en la administración
¿Cuáles son los grandes temas a los que debe enfrentarse un administrador en los tiempos actuales? El propósito de este libro, resultado de un esfuerzo colectivo de profesores de la Facultad de Administración de la Universidad de los Andes, es el de orientar a los administradores en la respuesta a esta pregunta. Estos volúmenes muestran cómo la administración se puede estudiar, aplicar o analizar desde diferentes perspectivas y disciplinas. Ilustran cómo los gerentes pueden abordar sus retos desde múltiples enfoques complementarios pero integrados, dado el carácter interdisciplinario de la administración. Los dos volúmenes reúnen cincuenta y tres capítulos que se agrupan en cin...
