Water resources in Mexico are threatened by scarcity, pollution and climate change. In two decades water consumption doubled, producing water stress in dry seasons and semi-arid and arid regions. Water stress rises due to physical and economic stress. In seven parts a multidisciplinary team analyzes hydrological processes in basins and their interaction with climate, soil and biota. Competing water use in agriculture, industry and domestic needs require savings, decontamination processes and desalination to satisfy the growing demand. Water quality affects health and ecosystems. This creates conflicts and cooperation that may be enhanced by public policy, institution building and social organization.
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century offers critical interdisciplinary reflections on peace, security, gender relations, migration and the environment, all of which are threatened by climate change, with women and children affected most. Deep-rooted gender discrimination is also a result of the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water, biota and air. In the Anthropocene, the management of human society and global resources has become unsustainable and has created multiple conflicts by increasing survival threats primarily for poor people in the Global South. Alternative approaches to peace and security, focusing from bottom-up on an engendered peace with s...

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
La presente obra busca plantear una filosofía del sistema penal, la cual descansa en el principio de imputación y a lo que hemos denominado la pragmática de la imputación penal. En esa inteligencia, y recurriendo a la legislación comparada, hemos explicado que la litis se fija cuando se formula imputación o se formaliza la investigación y no al cierre de la investigación cuando se plantea la acusación; ello por mandato legal y por la siguiente lógica del sistema: la afectación de la libertad personal mediante medidas cautelares o el dictado de decisiones jurisdiccionales de terminación o conclusión anticipada del proceso, exigen de una imputación formulada, a la que incluso la ...
"Desde la imputación formulada se incorpora al proceso penal el objeto de la litis, donde la defensa podrá ejercer su facultad de contradicción, así como el juzgador de resolver desde el criterio de la exigencia. En efecto, el operador puede exigirle al fiscal que explique de manera clara y precisa los cargos que le han formulado al imputado en el marco de una audiencia de tutela de derechos. También, el juez puede exigir al Ministerio Público los elementos de convicción que sustentan el cuadro fáctico imputativo, por ejemplo, en la audiencia de prisión preventiva. Además, el juzgador puede exigir que el fiscal aclare si hay una modificación en su clasificación jurídica en la au...
