Oil for Food
"In Oil for Food, Eckart Woertz analyzes the geopolitical implications behind the current investment drive of Arab Gulf countries in food insecure countries like Sudan or Pakistan. Having lived in Dubai for seven years, and drawing on extensive archival sources and interviews, he gives the inside story of how regional food security concerns have developed historically, how domestic agro-lobbies shape policy making, and how the failed attempt to develop Sudan as an Arab bread-basket in the 1970s carries important lessons for today's investments drive." --
Christian Perspectives on Transforming Interreligious Encounter
Christian Perspectives on Transforming Interreligious Encounter underscores the urgency of interreligious dialogue for contemporary society, aiming to foster interfaith understanding, justice, and peace. The initial section focuses on novel approaches to engaging with the religious Other through non-Christian sacred texts. Contributors explore the Jewish-Christian relationship, offer Christian interpretations of Hindu, Buddhist, and Confucian scriptures, and discuss the Qurʾān's potential to refine Christian theology. The dangers of comparative theology are warned against, and alternative perspectives, such as Asian liberation theology, are proposed for situating religion critically, as we...
O ecossistema da democracia aberta
No contexto de nosso interesse do que chamamos de “experimentação política”, e que nos abre uma janela para observarmos o grande desenvolvimento da inovação política em toda a América Latina – e também na Espanha -, lançamos uma série de artigos que chamamos de «O ecossistema da democracia aberta». Esta é uma iniciativa que a Democracia Abierta promoveu com apps4citizens, uma plataforma que promove a criação de tecnologia para o comprometimento coletivo social e político. Há alguns anos, assistimos ao surgimento do poder de relacionamento, da transversalidade, da participação. Este é o enclave que dá sentido e destaque à tecnopolítica, base sobre a qual uma nova ...
Histories of Perplexity
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
L’Amérique latine en transformation
Depuis les transitions démocratiques des années 1980 en Amérique latine, les dynamiques politiques et les enjeux de citoyenneté ont été au coeur des débats. Cet ouvrage explore en profondeur les mutations de la relation complexe tissée entre l’État et la société, mettant en lumière les dynamiques des luttes pour l’inclusion de groupes populaires historiquement marginalisés. Du « virage à gauche » des années 2000 à la résurgence actuelle des forces conservatrices, l’analyse se déploie dans une série d’études de cas comparées, couvrant des pays tels que le Brésil, l’Argentine, le Chili, le Mexique, la Colombie, le Pérou, la Bolivie et la Jamaïque. Par cette perspective d’ensemble, les auteurs s’interrogent quant aux répercussions de ces transformations sur l’inclusion sociale et la construction des régimes de citoyenneté. En explorant à la fois les normes institutionnelles et les pratiques des mouvements sociaux, ils présentent une vision élargie du politique et des défis contemporains de la région en matière de démocratie et de gouvernance.
A nudez da cópia imperfeita
Uma performance de um artista no Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo em 2017 torna-se motivo de comoção e violência. Enquanto apresentava uma releitura da obra Bichos, de Lygia Clark, na qual punha o próprio corpo nu à disposição do espectador para ser manipulado, Wagner Schwartz teve seu corpo (sua obra) relado por uma criança, a filha de uma grande amiga sua, que estava no recinto no momento da apresentação. Um vídeo do momento foi capturado, retirado completamente de seu contexto e disseminado internet afora. Rapidamente uma enxurrada de ódio, violência e selvageria passou a ser direcionada ao artista. Nem perto de poucas foram as ameaças de morte que Schwartz sofreu. A situ...
Forest Politics from Below
This book presents an analysis of forest politics that employs a broader scope to include non-institutionalized actors. It offers a comparative perspective on various environmental social movements fighting to protect forests around the globe, including indigenous communities in the Amazon and eco-anarchists in Europe. By examining the political goals, motives, and tactics of these sometimes-radical environmentalists, it helps readers understand the commonalities and differences among these “grass-roots forest politicians.” In addition, the book highlights the importance of forest-related struggles for a just transition to a carbon-neutral future. Accordingly, it will appeal to scholars of political science, public policy, and political sociology, as well as anyone interested in social movements and forest conservation.
Sustainable Human Development
Integrating Amartya Sen's approach with the literature on place-based territorial development processes, this book recognises the interplay between the evolution of local development systems and the expansion of individual and collective capabilities.
