La práctica jurídico-administrativa pone de relieve la presencia habitual de formas de actuación administrativa basadas en la deliberación y concertación con grupos ciudadanos, cuyo propósito es alcanzar objetivos de interés público. A pesar de su importante desarrollo, estas actuaciones han tenido un escaso estudio por la doctrina colombiana debido a la ausencia de encaje con el sistema de actos jurídico-públicos tradicionales, lo que ha ameritado que la doctrina extranjera les otorgue el nombre de actuaciones informales. Este concepto ha sido ilustrado por Schmidt Assmann (1993a, pág. 29) como "situaciones de mixtura en las que unas veces algunos elementos característicos –como, por ejemplo, la voluntad de vincular o el ámbito de la regulación– resultan inciertos, mientras que en otras ocasiones plantean propiamente dificultades a la hora de clasificarlos dentro de las diversas formas disponibles"1. El interés de este trabajo en el estudio de la actuación informal basada en procesos de concertación de la Administración con la ciudadanía se fundamenta en dos razones: primera, la revisión que de los fundamentos dogmáticos y de la doctrina de las formas jurídicas implica este tipo de actuaciones; y, segunda, la incorporación de nuevos modelos regulativos y de gobernanza pública que promueven la superación de la percepción tradicional de la separación Estado-sociedad, hacia un modelo de integración e interdependencia (distribución de responsabilidades) que contribuye a la legitimidad de los poderes públicos.

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.

Most scientists and researchers working in tropical areas are convinced that parks and protected areas are the only real hope for saving land and biodiversity in those regions. Rather than giving up on parks that are foundering, ways must be found to strengthen them, and Making Parks Work offers a vital contribution to that effort. Focusing on the "good news" -- success stories from the front lines and what lessons can be taken from those stories -- the book gathers experiences and information from thirty leading conservationists into a guidebook of principles for effective management of protected areas. The book: offers a general overview of the status of protected areas worldwide presents case studies from Africa, Latin America, and Asia written by field researchers with long experience working in those areas analyzes a variety of problems that parks face and suggests policies and practices for coping with those problems explores the broad philosophical questions of conservation and how protected areas can -- and must -- resist the mounting pressures of an overcrowded world Contributors include Mario Boza, Katrina Brandon, K. Ullas Karanth, Randall Kramer, Jeff Langholz, John F. Oates, Carlos A. Peres, Herman Rijksen, Nick Salafsky, Thomas T. Struhsaker, Patricia C. Wright, and others.
