Book Description
Interpretar la cooperación transfronteriza desde la geopolítica nos permite aportar una mirada multiescalar, sopesando las estrategias de las comunidades locales en tiempos de blindajes fronterizos de los Estados como los promovidos en los últimos años por la Unión Europea, Mercosur o el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte. Por tanto, se analizan, desde esta perspectiva geopolítica, las fortalezas y las debilidades de la cooperación transfronteriza en diferentes escenarios: África, América y Europa. Así mismo, se abordan los retos y desafíos futuros, en particular los que surgen tras la pandemia de la COVID-19. Este volumen intenta responder también a la cuestión de si la cooperación transfronteriza es la clave para acabar con las fronteras estatales, tan estrechamente vinculadas con la modernidad. En este sentido, como decía Régis Debray, quizá “toda frontera, como los medicamentos, es remedio y veneno. Se trata entonces de dosificarla”. El objetivo es abrir un camino para aplicar diferentes “dosis de frontera”, proporcionando, desde el acercamiento a las constantes dinámicas de desfronterización y refronterización, una lectura de sus múltiples dimensiones, siempre en transformación.

Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance
Author: Bruno Dupeyron
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487516231
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
In North America and Europe, cross-border governance arrangements have provided formal and informal frameworks to support cross-border cooperation. Analysing how these frameworks have emerged, the ways in which they have become institutionalized, and the processes by which they change is fundamental. Moreover, these frameworks are increasingly challenged by border securitization, thus limiting or jeopardizing decades of cross-border cooperative governance and coordinated public policies. Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance offers a series of case studies that explore these complex dynamics. To understand a range of cross-border governance frameworks, this collection addresses such topics as infrastructure development and management, resource sharing, regional politics, economics, security, human rights, the environment, culture, and community. The book explains how cross-border governance schemes have sought to mitigate some of the negative consequences of border security policies, allowing readers to discern how concrete national power struggles between federal/national and subnational governments unfold in border areas. In a world increasingly impacted by climate change and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic, Agents and Structures in Cross-Border Governance sheds light on the ongoing complexity of cross-border governance and offers lessons to help mitigate these challenges.

Hydropolitics in the Third World
Author: Arun P. Elhance
Publisher: US Institute of Peace Press
ISBN: 9781878379917
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
With more than 50 percent of the world's landmass covered by river basins shared by two or more states, competition over water resources has always had the potential to spark violence. And growing populations and accelerating demands for fresh water are putting ever greater pressures on already scarce water resources. In this wide-ranging study, Arun Elhance explores the hydropolitics of six of the world's largest river basins. In each case, Elhance examines the basin's physical, economic, and political geography; the possibilities for acute conflict; and efforts to develop bilateral and multilateral agreements for sharing water resources. The case studies lead to some sobering conclusions about impediments to cooperation but also to some encouraging ones--among them, that it may not be possible for Third World states to solve their water problems by going to war, and that eventually even the strongest riparian states are compelled to seek cooperation with their weaker neighbors.

Dynamics and Conflicts in a Cross-Border Region
Author: Mónica Toussaint
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100086619X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This volume explores several issues pertinent to the history of the cross-border region between Mexico, Guatemala and Belize from new explanatory approaches in order to reflect on a history and a reality that are shared by three neighbouring societies, emphasizing the actors and local practices that shape cross-border dynamics. This analysis is contributed by eight specialists who study aspects that are fundamental to our understanding of a process involving various persons and institutions in a specific space. Dynamics and Conflicts in a Cross-Border Region addresses an issue of current relevance through studies that focus on the problems inhabitants of the region have faced over the years: the realities of a porous border; the existence of family, trade and cultural ties that surpass the administrative limits negotiated by the states late in the 19th century; the impact of the internal conflicts of neighbour countries in the border space; experiences of exile and refuge at the border and the violence they entail; the role of local authorities in managing regional problems; the pending task of cross-border territorial organization; the efforts of local institutions to promote regional development; and the presence of phenomena like contraband, drug trafficking, organized crime and human trafficking in an increasingly complex and challenging space. This provides a way to use the region’s history as a springboard for conceiving of mechanisms by which we can together face the challenges presented today to the inhabitants of the cross-border region between Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Latin American history and Social History.

Mediterranean Rivers in Global Perspective
Author: Johannes Christian Bernhardt
Publisher: Brill Schoningh
ISBN: 9783506786364
Category : Mediterranean Region
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
"Rivers in the Mediterranean have always been important locations of social formation, since they are resources of water, food and energy as well as natural borders and routes. They are furthermore spaces of interaction between sea, coast and hinterland. Recent debates on globalization and the spatial turn have increased the interest into the study of transnational regions and human-nature relationships. In this context, the Mediterranean is often regarded as a natural given. However, global history has also changed and modified the idea of well-defined areas and cultures. In order to further develop Mediterranean studies the volume provides an interdisciplinary and cross-epochal perspective, focusing on Mediterranean rivers and their people."--

Handbook of Research on Approaches to Alternative Entrepreneurship Opportunities
Author: Dantas, José Guilherme Leitão
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799819833
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
In some cases, technology-based projects have revolutionized the way of living by contributing to job and wealth creation. These types of ventures, regardless of their outstanding relevance, are the exception rather than the norm in that they account for only a very small percentage of entrepreneurial activity. Although not ignoring these important ventures, the main goal of this title is to fully unleash the wide potential of the entrepreneurial activity, exploring and highlighting the somewhat hidden part, which is ultimately responsible for the largest part of new businesses and, as a consequence, for the wellbeing of millions of people virtually everywhere. The Handbook of Research on Approaches to Alternative Entrepreneurship Opportunities is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of entrepreneurial activity beyond the traditional boundaries of entrepreneurship research. While highlighting topics including collective business, organizational performance, and generational differences, this book is ideally designed for entrepreneurs, developers, researchers, business managers, industry professionals, academicians, and students seeking to draw attention to distinctive and multifaceted types of entrepreneurship.
