El territorio es la vida misma: territorialidades y construcción de paz en el departamento de Chocó
Este libro analiza cómo se articulan y cuáles son las tensiones entre las luchas étnico-territoriales (espacios, estrategias y demandas en torno a cómo se comprende el territorio: un espacio de vida y para esta) del Foro Interétnico Solidaridad Chocó (FISCH) y las iniciativas gubernamentales de construcción de paz, pues, por un lado, los primeros pasos en la implementación de los acuerdos de paz han evidenciado una brecha muy grande entre el discurso oficial y las prácticas concretas que llevarían a fortalecer escenarios territoriales y efectivos de paz; por el otro, en sus más de veinte años de trabajo, el FISCH ya había definido numerosas acciones en aras de proteger los territorios que integran el ahora “escenario estratégico” para la construcción de paz en el país. Así, esta experiencia local sirve de trasfondo para reflexionar en torno a procesos jurídico-políticos de gran importancia respecto a las dinámicas organizativas de las comunidades negras en toda Colombia.
La tierra prometida
Esta obra presenta el trabajo de investigación realizado durante cinco años por el equipo interdisciplinario del Observatorio de Restitución y Regulación de Derechos de Propiedad Agraria, el cual está conformado por unidades académicas de las universidades Nacional, Rosario, Norte, Sergio Arboleda y Sinú. Esta iniciativa financiada por Colciencias incluyó dentro de su agenda de investigación un seguimiento a la implementación de la política desde distintos enfoques metodológicos y disciplinarios. Los equipos de investigación recolectaron información en distintas zonas del país, principalmente en el Caribe colombiano, mediante entrevistas a víctimas del conflicto armado, empresarios, políticos, funcionarios públicos, jueces y magistrados de restitución de tierras e hicieron un seguimiento a las sentencias de restitución de tierras. Así mismo, con el fin de recoger un cuerpo sólido de evidencia, participaron también en intervenciones en instancias como la Corte Constitucional, para así presentar las sólidas conclusiones que se recogen en este libro.
Extractivismo y región
En este análisis sobre los procesos que han constituido la ficción teórica del Alto Cauca, una región que incluye municipios de los departamentos del Cauca (Santander de Quilichao, Buenos Aires y Suárez) y el Valle del Cauca (Jamundí), se trabajaron, a la vez, dimensiones como el desarrollo y la producción agrícola, la distribución desigual de la tierra, la gestión y el manejo ambiental, el multiculturalismo, los cultivos de uso ilícito, el narcotráfico, la presencia histórica de actores armados y la victimización sistemática de las comunidades de esta región, en cuanto procesos interdependientes y que se enmarcan en el neoliberalismo como política económica y racionalidad en la que lo legal e ilegal se entrecruzan continuamente. Estas dimensiones se han agudizado y otras han generado resistencias y movilizaciones sociales, por medio de las cuales las comunidades encuentran formas de asociarse y oportunidades de luchar por los mismos derechos en espacios diferenciados.
Territorial Status in International Law
This book develops a new theory of territorialism and international legal status of territories. It (i) defines the concept of territory, explaining how territories are created; (ii) redefines the concept of statehood, illustrating that statehood (rather than the statehood criteria) is territorial legal status established in the formal sources of international law; and (iii) grounds non-state territorial entities in the sources of international law to explain their international legal status. This fresh new theoretical perspective has both scholarly and practical importance, providing a tool helping decision-makers and judges in the practical application of international law both internationally and domestically.
The Metabolic Miracle
We all like to eat, but we are doing it wrong, and it gets worse every day. Deceived by the food industry, advertising, culinary fake news, and Aunt Bertha's nutrition advice, with every bite we are making nefarious decisions that steal our energy and make us both ill and fat. How can we stop this cycle? Who should we believe? How can we change our habits without becoming rigid and boring? In this book, renowned doctor Carlos Jaramillo offers robust answers to these questions and states that the key to optimal weight and health is our metabolism. Understanding what it is, how it operates, and what we can do to make it work in our favor is fundamental. And it is what the reader will accomplish on these pages.
Theory and Method in Socio-Legal Research
Socio-legal researchers increasingly recognise the need to employ a wide variety of methods in studying law and legal phenomena, and the need to be informed by an understanding of debates about theory and method in mainstream social science. The papers in this volume illustrate how a range of topics, including EU law, ombudsmen, judges, lawyers, Shariah Councils and the quality assurance industry can be researched from a socio-legal perspective. The objective of the collection is to show how different methods can be used in researching law and legal phenomena, how methodological issues and debates in sociology are relevant to the study of law, and the importance of the debate between "struct...
Territory
This short introduction conveys the complexities associated with the term "territory" in a clear and accessible manner. It surveys the field and brings theory to ground in the case of Palestine. A clear and accessible introduction to the complexities associated with the term "territory". Provides an interdisciplinary survey of the many strands of research in the field. Addresses specific areas including interpretations of territorial structures; the relationship between territoriality and scale; the validity and fluidity of territory; and the practical, social processes associated with territorial re-configurations. Stresses that our understanding of territory is inseparable from our understanding of power. Uses Israel/Palestine as an extended illustrative case study. The author’s strong legal and geographical background gives the work an authoritative perspective.
Layered Inequalities
In Colombia, since the 1990s, thousands of Afro-descendants have benefited from collective land rights. However, many peasants have been violently displaced in order to introduce industrial crops, while several other groups of peasants resisted these agribusiness land grabs. This book examines the layered inequalities in this process and analyzes the various paradoxes of recent Colombian development policies: the agribusiness expansions through land grabs; the land and labor conflicts that have overlapped in regions with agribusiness; and both the Afro-descendants and mestizos demand for land rights.

Missing the Revolution
"The naturalizing perspective of Darwinian thought has become one of the major intellectual currents of our time, pervading contemporary understandings of human nature and society. Unfortunately, many social scientists in sociology, psychology, and sociocultural anthropology have failed to engage with it. Barkow asks his fellow social scientists to put aside their all-too-common preconceptions and stereotypes of the "biological" and to consider a powerful argument that is far different from that of those who once invoked a vocabulary of genes and Darwin as a justification for genocide. He argues that the theoretical perspective that has been so successful when applied to the behavior of every other animal speicies can be applied just as successfully to our own, and that the real debate is about how to apply it."--BOOK JACKET.
Global Inequalities Beyond Occidentalism
Based on theoretical developments in research on world-systems analysis, transnational migration, postcolonial and decolonial perspectives, whilst considering continuities of inequality patterns in the context of colonial and postcolonial realities, Global Inequalities Beyond Occidentalism proposes an original framework for the study of the long-term reproduction of inequalities under global capitalism. With attention to the critical assessment of both Marxist and Weberian perspectives, this book examines the wider implications of transferring classical approaches to inequality to a twenty-first century context, calling for a reconceptualization of inequality that is both theoretically informed and methodologically consistent, and able to cater for the implications of shifts from national and Western structures to global structures.
