En esta obra colectiva se destaca el papel de los pueblos indígenas en favor de la conservación y protección del territorio amazónico como un elemento vital de sus prácticas, conocimientos y saberes ancestrales, los cuales constituyen una fuente única de aprendizaje para "deconstruir" el paradigma de desarrollo económico que, históricamente, se fundamenta en las prácticas del modelo extractivista y agroindustrial a gran escala en cada uno de los países amazónicos, tanto en Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Perú, Surinam como en Venezuela. Así, esta investigación invita a repensar el llamado "desarrollo" que. hoy por hoy, no puede limitarse a aspectos económicos, ni mucho menos entender la importancia de la Amazonía como un espacio de explotación de recursos naturales, es decir, cambiar el valor de "explotación" por protección, conservación y reparación del medio ambiente, al tiempo que de manera sostenible se logra satisfacer necesidades económicas y sociales de la actual generación, sin poner en riesgo a las futuras.

Precisamente, este libro reúne el trabajo de expertos en distintas áreas de las ciencias sociales como el derecho, la antropología y la sociología, con autores de diferentes países de la región amazónica como Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú, quienes han realizado un diagnóstico de la situación actual de la Amazonía, las problemáticas y soluciones presentes en el territorio. Por último, esta obra inspira a repensar la conservación de la Amazonía desde la ancestralidad de los pueblos indígenas, que implica integrar no solo los límites materiales o jurídicos de sus territorios, además, se debe tener en cuenta los vínculos espirituales que unen a dichas comunidades con el Amazonas.

ISBN: 3030291537

This book brings together a valuable collection of case studies and conceptual approaches that outline the present state of Amazonia in the 21st century. The many problems are described and the benefits, as well as the achievements of regional development are also discussed. The book focuses on three themes for discussion and recommendations: indigenous peoples, their home (the forest), and the way(s) to protect and sustain their natural home (biodiversity conservation). Using these three themes this volume offers a comprehensive critical review of the facts that have been the reality of Amazonia and fills a gap in the literature.The book will appeal to scholars, professors and practitioners. An outstanding group of experienced researchers and individuals with detailed knowledge of the proposed themes have produced chapters on an array of inter-related issues to demonstrate the current situation and future prospects of Amazonia. Issues investigated and debated include: territorial management; indigenous territoriality and land demarcation; ethnodevelopment; indigenous higher education and capacity building; natural resource appropriation; food security and traditional knowledge; megadevelopmental projects; indigenous acculturation; modernization of Amazonia and its regional integration; anthropogenic interventions; protected areas and conservation; political ecology; postcolonial issues, and the sustainability of Amazonia.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

Environmental Governance in Latin America

Genre: Political Science
ISBN: 1137505729

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.
