A South American Interoceanic Network: Bioceanic Corridors and the Role of Connecting States
In recent years, the external sector of the state of Mato Grosso has shown impressive growth rates. The state's exports per capita are three times higher than those of China. This phenomenon seems to be on the verge of overcoming one of the main obstacles to South American integration: the Atlantic-Pacific barrier. The hypothesis analysed in this issue of the FAL Bulletin is that certain ongoing exogenous and endogenous “tectonic changes” in five Brazilian states that have been intensifying for some time will finally make bioceanic corridors viable. The challenge is to form an interoceanic network connecting the different corridors with waterways and coastal shipping in the South American Pacific.
Perspectives on Sustainable Technology
Nature thrives on diversity and flexibility, gaining strength from heterogeneity, whereas the quest for homogeneity seems to motivate much of modern engineering. Nature is non-linear and inherently promotes multiplicity of solutions. This new and important book presents recent research on true sustainability and technology development from around the globe.
The Last Day of Oppression, and the First Day of the Same
Throughout the 2000s Latin America transformed itself into the leading edge of anti-neoliberal resistance in the world. What is left of the Pink Tide today? What is their relationship to the explosive social movements that propelled them to power? As China's demand slackens for Latin American commodities, will governments continue to rely on natural resource extraction? In an accessible and penetrating volume, Jeffery Webber examines the most important questions facing the Latin American left today.
Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela
Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela explores the changes cities face when they become metropolises, forming expanding regions which create both potential and problems within settlements. To do so, it focuses on three metropolitan areas located in Venezuela’s Center-North region: Caracas, Maracay and Valencia, designated as "Camava." Considering three core topics, government and territorial administration, infrastructure and environment, as well as looking at the reciprocal impact, this book describes and analyzes the determinant variables that characterize the phenomenon of regional urbanization in this area and in the wider Global South. It includes documentary research, semi-structu...

Red Interoceánica en América del Sur: corredores bioceánicos y el rol de los estados articuladores
En los últimos años el sector externo del estado de Mato Grosso viene exhibiendo un impresionante dinamismo. Las exportaciones per cápita de dicho Estado son tres veces superiores a las de China. Este fenómeno parece estar a punto de superar una de las principales barreras para la integración sudamericana: el antagonismo Atlántico-Pacífico. La hipótesis que se analiza en este número del Boletín FAL es que ciertos “cambios tectónicos” exógenos y endógenos están sucediendo en 5 estados de Brasil, y se han agudizado desde hace algún tiempo, van a permitir finalmente hacer viables los corredores bioceánicos. El reto es conformar una red interoceánica articulando los diferentes corredores con las hidrovías y la navegación de cabotaje en el Pacífico sudamericano.
