Book Description
La amplia incidencia de la gran, la mediana y la pequeña minería en la economía y en la vida socioeconómica de nuestro país, ha ido conformando desde hace ya varias décadas un vasto y complejo entramado de leyes referidas a ese sector productivo. Esto ha representado, por un lado, un permanente esfuerzo de parte de las autoridades y legisladores para mantener modernizada y en armonía jurídica aquella normativa. En tanto, para muchos académicos y abogados ha implicado una preocupación constante por favorecer que ella contribuya al buen desarrollo del quehacer minero. A la base de esta inquietud está el objetivo de que este contribuya efectivamente al bien común y al interés general de Chile. Lo anterior da cuenta de buena parte de las motivaciones que impulsan esta publicación, que compila escritos que abarcan el conjunto de los rasgos peculiares que caracterizan y conforman el derecho minero neomoderno. Se abordan acá muy variados temas y situaciones que se dan en esta área. Así, el lector podrá comprobar en ella aplicaciones concretas del espacio jurídico neomoderno, que domina actualmente las fuentes y la relación jurídica de la disciplina, y que ningún legislador, juez o jurista debiera ignorar. Estas páginas abarcan tópicos como la historia y la enseñanza del derecho minero, la doctrina y las fuentes de este. Uno de sus capítulos alude a la esencial materia de la naturaleza jurídica de la riqueza mineral. Enseguida, se tocan cuestiones críticas en el actual contexto de esta actividad en nuestro país, como la batalla contra la superposición de concesiones mineras, el procedimiento concesional minero y de servidumbres, y la regulación chilena a la industria del sector. También se expone una serie de retos que, en la gestión y el derecho mineros, se están verificando actualmente en el uso del agua, los efectos en los bosques y el medioambiente, o bien en la aplicación de las normas tributarias vigentes. Finalmente, un breve texto literario ofrece una mirada con humor –aunque también a modo de advertencia– al finalizar el repaso que hace este libro a materias que son de gran significación para el desarrollo del país.

The North American Mosaic
Author: Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Capitalism, Class and Revolution in Peru, 1980-2016
Author: Jan Lust
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319914030
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In an analysis of political, economic, and social development in Peru in the years between 1980 and 2016, this book explores the failure of the socialist Left to realize its project of revolutionary social transformation. Based on extensive interviews with leading cadres in the struggle for revolutionary change and a profound review of documents from the principal socialist organizations of the 1980s and 1990s, the volume reveals that the socialist Left did not fully comprehend the deep political and social implications of changes to the country’s class structures. As such, the Left failed to develop and implement adequate strategic and tactical responses to the processes that eroded its political and social bases in the 1980s and 1990s, ultimately leading to its loss of social and political power. Lust concludes that the continued political and organizational agony of the Peruvian socialist Left and the hegemony of neoliberalism in society is a product of the dialectical interplay between the objective and subjective conditions that determine Peruvian capitalist development.

The Ecological Constitution
Author: Lynda Collins
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000418316
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The Ecological Constitution integrates the insights of environmental constitutionalism and ecological law in a concise, engaging and accessible manner. This book sets out the necessary components of any constitution that could be considered "ecological" in nature. In particular, it argues that an ecological constitution is one that codifies the following key principles, at a minimum: the principle of sustainability; intergenerational equity and the public trust doctrine; environmental human rights; rights of nature; the precautionary principle and non-regression; and rights and obligations relating to a healthy climate. In the context of the global environmental crisis that characterises the current Anthropocene era, these principles are important tools for changing consciousness and driving pragmatic policy reforms around the world. Re-imagining constitutions along these lines could play a vital role in the collective project of building a sustainable future for humans, animals, ecosystems and the biosphere we all share. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental law, ecological law, environmental constitutionalism, sustainability and rights of nature.

Hydrosocial Territories and Water Equity
Author: Rutgerd Boelens
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351973649
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Bringing together a multidisciplinary set of scholars and diverse case studies from across the globe, this book explores the management, governance, and understandings around water, a key element in the assemblage of hydrosocial territories. Hydrosocial territories are spatial configurations of people, institutions, water flows, hydraulic technology and the biophysical environment that revolve around the control of water. Territorial politics finds expression in encounters of diverse actors with divergent spatial and political–geographical interests; as a result, water (in)justice and (in)equity are embedded in these socio-ecological contexts. The territory-building projections and strategies compete, superimpose and align to strengthen specific water-control claims of various interests. As a result, actors continuously recompose the territory’s hydraulic grid, cultural reference frames, and political–economic relationships. Using a political ecology focus, the different contributions to this book explore territorial struggles, demonstrating that these contestations are not merely skirmishes over natural resources, but battles over meaning, norms, knowledge, identity, authority and discourses. The articles in this book were originally published in the journal Water International.
