The North American Mosaic
Author: Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat

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.

La naturaleza sí tiene derechos
Author: Alberto Acosta
Publisher: Siglo XXI Editores
ISBN: 9878013820
Category : Political Science
Languages : es
Pages : 200
Book Description
¿Por qué aceptamos como normal que las corporaciones tengan derechos y puedan reclamar por ellos mientras nos resulta inconcebible que la naturaleza, de la que depende nuestra vida, goce de ese reconocimiento? Dado que superar este desatino es uno de los grandes retos de la humanidad para enfrentar el colapso ecológico y social, Alberto Acosta y Enrique Viale, referentes internacionales del pensamiento y las luchas ecologistas, cuentan qué significan los derechos de la naturaleza y por qué el tema está muy lejos de ser una formalidad jurídica o una simple novelería. En este texto introductorio e inspirador, bucean en las razones históricas que, desde la conquista de América e incluso antes, explican el lugar de la naturaleza como proveedora pasiva de insumos y depósito de desechos, al servicio del crecimiento infinito en un planeta finito. Y ponen el foco en las falsas soluciones, como el desarrollo sostenible o el capitalismo verde, estrategias cosméticas que prometen respetar las normas ambientales mientras alientan la explotación extractivista de la tierra, los minerales, el agua, o formas más innovadoras de mercantilización. Recuperando las voces críticas de filósofos, economistas, referentes de pueblos originarios y juristas, y el balance de experiencias pioneras en el reconocimiento de la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos, Acosta y Viale plantean que no se trata de volver a prácticas premodernas, mitificar el pasado o condenar los avances científicos. Tampoco de inventar todo de cero, porque hay un acervo de luchas y cosmovisiones comunitarias con mucho para enseñarnos. Sin erigirse en defensores de una naturaleza intocada, los autores invitan a entender el valor intrínseco de la naturaleza y la necesidad de restaurar sus ciclos vitales, su diversidad y sus ecosistemas. Y apuestan a trabajar en pos de un giro civilizatorio que anteponga, al mandato economicista del productivismo a cualquier costo, la solidaridad, la justicia social y lazos de armonía entre todas las formas de vida.

Without Criteria
Author: Steven Shaviro
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262517973
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Constitutionalism of the Global South
Author: Daniel Bonilla Maldonado
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107067936
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
The Indian Supreme Court, the South African Constitutional Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court have been among the most important and creative courts in the Global South. In Asia, Africa and Latin America, they are seen as activist tribunals that have contributed (or attempted to contribute) to the structural transformation of the public and private spheres of their countries. The cases issued by these courts are creating a constitutionalism of the Global South. This book addresses in a direct and detailed way the jurisprudence of these Courts on three key topics: access to justice, cultural diversity and socioeconomic rights. This volume is a valuable contribution to the discussion about the contours and structure of contemporary constitutionalism. It makes explicit that this discussion has interlocutors both in the Global South and Global North while showing the common discourse between them and the differences on how they interpret and solve key constitutional problems.
