Rising Global Interest in Farmland
This book not only highlights the risks associated with large-scale investment, but also advises on how governments can create an environment to attract investment that contributes to broad-based growth and poverty reduction in cases where land acquisition by large investors makes sense from a social, economic, and environmental perspective.
The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America
This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries’ governmental policy. It presents a historicized and internationally contextualized exploration of the political economy of agrarian change in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Praguay, and Uruguay. By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.
Rising Global Interest in Farmland
This book aims to provide key pieces of information needed for informed debate about large-scale land acquisition by drawing on the experience from past land expansions, discussing predictions for potential future demand, and providing empirical evidence of what is happening on the ground in the countries most affected by the recent increase in demand for land. It complements demand side considerations with a detailed assessment of the amount of land, whether currently cultivated or not, that might potentially be available for agricultural cultivation at the global and country levels. It then describes in some detail the policies in place to manage land acquisition processes and analyzes how...

Concepciones alternativas de la integración latinoamericana
Este libro plantea algunas concepciones alternativas presentes en los debates en torno a la integración latinoamericana, a partir de conceptos clásicos sobre el desarrollo, el liderazgo, la soberanía, el Estado y la diplomacia. Estos conceptos han replanteado y orientado las discusiones y reflexiones planteadas en el presente tomo a partir de enfoques alternativos como el ecologismo, la integración energética, la relación desarrollo-autonomía y el colonialismo intelectual en un contexto de modernidad líquida, los cuales, dada la relevancia y pertinencia de nuevos actores, han dado paso a fortalecer la paradiplomacia en el actual escenario al que se asiste. En este sentido, las discusiones retoman variaciones y reconceptualizaciones en medio de los actuales debates que acompañan el marco conceptual y la realidad en materia de integración regional desde las particularidades de la región latinoamericana.
Urugwaj. Polityka, gospodarka, społeczeństwo i kultura
Urugwaj, a właściwie Wschodnia Republika Urugwaju, jest z wielu względów krajem niezwykłym. Już sama jego nazwa, tłumaczona z języka guaraní jako „rzeka malowanych ptaków”, daje przedsmak tej wyjątkowości. Do światowej prasy Urugwaj trafia regularnie za sprawą przełomowych, bezprecedensowych posunięć, które przyciągają uwagę innych społeczeństw (…). Urugwaj jako pierwszy kraj na świecie ustanowił państwo opiekuńcze. W wyniku splotu wyjątkowych okoliczności stał się krajem świeckim – zaledwie 46% społeczeństwa deklaruje przynależność do Kościoła katolickiego, bardzo pod tym względem kontrastując z tradycyjnie religijną Ameryką Łacińską.

Handbook of Plant Ecophysiology Techniques
The Handbook of Plant Ecophysiology Techniques you have now in your hands is the result of several combined events and efforts. The birth of this handbook can be traced as far as 1997, when our Plant Ecophysiology lab at the University of Vigo hosted a practical course on Plant Ecophysiology Techniques. That course showed us how much useful a handbook presenting a bunch of techniques would be for the scientists beginning to work on Plant Ecophysiology. In fact, we wrote a short handbook explaining the basics of the techniques taught in that 1997 course: Flow cytometry to measure ploidy levels, Use of a Steady-State porometer to measure transpiration, In vivo measure of fluorescence, HPLC ana...
Cybernetic Revolutionaries
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship b...
Forest Economics
Forestry cannot be isolated from the forces that drive all economic activity. It involves using land, labour, and capital to produce goods and services from forests, while economics helps in understanding how this can be done in ways that will best meet the needs of people. Therefore, a firm grounding in economics is integral to sound forestry policies and practices. This book, a major revision and expansion of Peter H. Pearse’s 1990 classic, provides this grounding. Updated and enhanced with advanced empirical presentation of materials, it covers the basic economic principles and concepts and their application to modern forest management and policy issues. Forest Economics draws on the strengths of two of the field’s leading practitioners who have more than fifty years of combined experience in teaching forest economics in the United States and Canada. Its comprehensive and systematic analysis of forest issues makes it an indispensable resource for students and practitioners of forest management, natural resource conservation, and environmental studies.
