Litigating Climate Change in the Global South
While climate change litigation in developed countries of the 'Global North' is a well-studied phenomenon (from its distinctive characteristics and the contribution it is making, to the implementation of international climate laws like the Paris Agreement), relatively few studies focus on climate case law emerging elsewhere. Litigating Climate Change in the Global South sheds light on emerging and accelerating climate litigation in developing countries across the three regions of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific. It is the first monograph-length work to provide a comprehensive assessment of this jurisprudence. Amid growing scholarly and policy interest in climate change litigation and its impact on international climate governance, the book examines which Global South countries are seeing climate cases, what is driving these trends, the coalitions of actors involved, and the early impacts this litigation is having on global goals of climate mitigation and adaptation.
Constitutionalism and Transnational Governance Failures
This book explores strategies for limiting transnational market failures, governance failures and constitutional failures impeding protection of the universally agreed sustainable development goals like climate change mitigation and access to justice and transnational rule-of-law. Can multilevel democratic and judicial protection of fundamental rights and public goods across frontiers be extended through plurilateral agreements? Can transnational economic and environmental constitutionalism be reconciled with ‘constitutional pluralism’ and with democratic constitutionalism depending on individual and democratic consent of free and equal citizens? Will judicial challenges (e.g. of EU carb...
Aproximaciones, reflexiones y criticas preliminares sobre el Derecho Internacional Humanitario. Tomo I.
La creación de un grupo de investigación de derecho internacional humanitario supone un doble reto. Por un lado, la dificultad de recoger las diferentes visiones con respecto al papel del Estado en escenarios de conflicto armado. Por otro, la consciencia de que la búsqueda de teorizaciones sobre el conflicto armado se cimienta sobre las pérdidas y profundos dolores de las víctimas. Este grupo de investigación conformado por Édgar Solano González, Manuela Losada Chavarro, María Camila Medina García y María Alejandra Osorio Alvis ha podido asumir ese reto con el apoyo incondicional del doctor Humberto Sierra Porto, director del Departamento de Derecho Constitucional. Esta obra colectiva es el resultado del interés de la comunidad académica y jurídica que de manera desinteresada aceptó nuestro llamado a construir Estado desde la perspectiva teórica del conflicto armado. Gracias a las autoras y los autores que participaron en estos libros podemos entregar un producto que espera fortalecer la dogmática del derecho internacional humanitario en Colombia y Latinoamérica

Social-ecological Systems of Latin America: Complexities and Challenges
Human societies are influencing nature in such a way that their independent analysis is no longer suitable. Fortunately, social-ecological systems provide a conceptual framework for the interconnected analysis of societies and ecosystems. However, in the case of Latin America, the complexity of social-ecological processes undermined a much-needed compilation of theoretical concepts, methods and case studies. Increasing readers’ understanding of such systems using a postnormal approach, the book discusses current concepts and methods with examples of studies from eight countries. It is a useful resource for social actors, government decision makers and scholars.
Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar
Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia’s most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country’s four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet—albeit stormy—romantic relationship. During their five-year a...
Implementing Environmental Constitutionalism
Constitutions can play a central role in responding to environmental challenges, such as pollution, biodiversity loss, lack of drinking water, and climate change. The vast majority of people on earth live under constitutional systems that protect the environment or recognize environmental rights. Such environmental constitutionalism, however, falls short without effective implementation by policymakers, advocates and jurists. Implementing Environmental Constitutionalism: Current Global Challenges explains and explores this 'implementation gap'. This collection is both broad and deep. While some of the essays analyze crosscutting themes, such as climate change and the need for rule of law that affect the implementation of environmental constitutionalism throughout the world, others delve deeply into geographically contextual experiences for lessons about how constitutional environmental law might be more effectively implemented. This volume informs global conversations about whether and how environmental constitutionalism can be made more effective to protect the natural environment.
