Slow Harms and Citizen Action chronicles the struggle against toxic exposure in urban Latin America. By examining cities in Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, Veronica Herrera shows how local movements fighting for pollution remediation can ally with resourced outsiders for impactful change.

En este libro, expertos colombianos y extranjeros de primer nivel se reúnen para exponer sus puntos de vista en relación a la manera como deben interpretarse y aplicarse las instituciones más importantes del derecho administrativo y constitucional frente a las distintas materias que componen al derecho ambiental.
