Book Description
En el momento de redactar estas líneas, se había publicado recientemente la encuesta anual del Instituto Fraser que mide, aproximadamente, entre 2.400 empresas mineras, el atractivo que en materia de inversión reflejan los países incluidos en la encuesta, que para el año 2020 ascendió a una muestra de 76 jurisdicciones evaluadas. El resultado para los países de América Latina es diverso. Algunos países como México (38), Ecuador (57) y Colombia (56) descendieron en el ranking respecto a su posición del año anterior, aunque en el con¬texto global de la encuesta, las posiciones de países como Perú (24) y Chile (17) pueden considerarse como bastante favorables, no solo en el contexto latinoamericano sino también en el contexto internacional. No sorprende, por supuesto, que Venezuela ocupe los últimos lugares del ranking (70), mientras que Brasil (46) y Bolivia (48) ocupan posiciones semiintermedias, destacándose el significativo ascenso de este último país en el ranking respecto a su posición (74) del año 2018. Argentina representa un caso especial ya que sus provincias son evaluadas de manera individual en el reporte, destacándose la posición de la provincia de San Juan (21), pero ocupando las últimas posiciones las provincias de La Rioja (74) y Chubut (75)· Por otro lado, en las posiciones altas de la encuesta, se ubica la región occidental de Australia (1), Finlandia (2), el estado de Nevada en Estados Unidos (3), el estado de Alaska (4) y Portugal (5), siendo este último país uno de los mejor evaluados por las empresas en la encuesta de este año, ascendiendo al quinto (5) puesto desde la posición cuarenta y seis (46) en el 2018.

Business and Environmental Risks
Author: Diego A. Vazquez-Brust
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400727429
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Based on detailed research funded across two continents and involving universities in Argentina, Spain and the UK, this book sets out an innovative, multidisciplinary approach to assessing both environmental and social risks in a given territorial area. Using data from a number of Ibero-American nations, the study combines environmental, socio-economic and geographic factors to construct a set of spatial and technical indicators that measure the social vulnerability and industrial hazardousness of a defined area. Aggregating these indicators in a geographic information system (GIS) allows researchers to assess the potential risk to which a certain area and its population are subject as a result of the environmental deterioration caused by co-located industrial activity.

Environmental Governance in Latin America
Author: Fabio De Castro
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137505729
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.

The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World
Author: T.F Glick
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789401038850
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside. Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history of scientific ideas.

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.

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251091870
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
