Crises and Migration
This book critically examines the association between the notions of crisis and migration in the context of Latin America, and from three different perspectives: first, it analyzes the discourses based on the concept of crisis employed by the media, academic researchers, civil society organizations and the state to frame human mobility issues; second, it investigates migrants’ agency under conditions of crisis; and third, it discusses whether “migration crisis” is a conjunctural or structural phenomenon in the region. Chapters in this contributed volume investigate the crisis-migration nexus in seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragu...
Dimensiones de la migración en Colombia.
Colombia, al igual que casi todos los países de América, es un país que tiene una larga historia de migración. Comprender sus movimientos de población nos enseña un poco de su carácter, sus alegrías y sus dolores. Analizar y revisar las migraciones, es decir, cómo la gente se mueve y por qué, dará mayores argumentos para pensar en cómo es la identidad de un territorio, cómo y por qué se producen los cambios en su población. Pensar Colombia y sus migraciones es pensar su propia idiosincrasia, buscando los caminos que llevan a mirar hacia donde la diversidad y las relaciones interculturales empujadas por las migraciones permiten dialogar y cohesionar el territorio, en donde las diferencias se vuelcan a la unidad y el país avanza y genera creatividad, ya que las personas llevan consigo ideas que viajan junto a sus maletas, encontrándose conexiones y nuevas formas de ver el mundo, el país y a sus ciudadanos.
The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law
The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law analyses how lawyers representing refugees use human rights provisions in national constitutions to close the gap between the Law and its implementation. The book examines how laws are adapted to suit social, political, and legal contexts, focusing on Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, Uganda, and the US.
Historical and Future Global Impacts of Armed Groups and Social Movements: Emerging Research and Opportunities
Resistance movements to economic measures and militaristic policies have been increasing in Latin America and the Caribbean since the 1960s. Indigenous and peasant movements are advancing against the exploitation of their territories by mining, oil, and other companies, as well as movements of migrants, women, and other popular rural and urban sectors. Historical and Future Global Impacts of Armed Groups and Social Movements: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential scholarly publication that examines resistance and alternative movements that protest existing government systems and political injustice. Featuring a wide range of topics such as neoliberalism, social movement, and dictatorship, this book is ideal for politicians, historians, diplomats, sociologists, international relations officers, policymakers, researchers, professionals, government officials, academicians, and students.
La COVID-19 y los cambios en la integración latinoamericana y europea
La pandemia de la covid-19 ha significado un momento de reflexión para los procesos de integración de América Latina, los cuales se han visto desbordados por su impacto y consecuencias ante la falta de respuestas multilaterales, colaborativas y consensuadas, al preferir actuar de manera individual con prevalencia de soberanías nacionales sobre una actuación de soberanías compartidas. Con ello se está demostrando que, en lo institucional, se encuentra una de las mayores falencias y debilidades de la integración latinoamericana, a lo que se agrega la falta de liderazgo tan necesario en circunstancias como estas. América Latina no ha actuado de manera colaborativa, a pesar de contar co...
Tropical Forests
The astounding richness and biodiversity of tropical forests is rapidly dwindling. This has severely altered the vital biogeochemical cycles of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen etc. and has led to the change in global climate and pristine natural ecosystems. In this elegant book, we have defined "Tropical Forests" broadly, into five different themes: (1) tropical forest structure, synergy, synthesis, (2) tropical forest fragmentation, (3) impact of anthropogenic pressure, (4) Geographic Information System and remote sensing, and (5) tropical forest protection and process. The cutting-edge synthesis, detailed current reviews, several original data-rich case studies, recent experiments/experiences...
A Guide to the Latin American Art Song Repertoire
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
