    Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 3) (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This third and last open access volume in the series takes the perspective of non-EU countries on immigrant social protection. By focusing on 12 of the largest sending countries to the EU, the book tackles the issue of the multiple areas of sending state intervention towards migrant populations. Two “mirroring” chapters are dedicated to each of the 12 non-EU states analysed (Argentina, China, Ecuador, India, Lebanon, Morocco, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey). One chapter focuses on access to social benefits across five core policy areas (health care, unemployment, old-age pensions, family benefits, guaranteed minimum resources) by discussing the social protection policies that non-EU countries offer to national residents, non-national residents, and non-resident nationals. The second chapter examines the role of key actors (consulates, diaspora institutions and home country ministries and agencies) through which non-EU sending countries respond to the needs of nationals abroad. The volume additionally includes two chapters focusing on the peculiar case of the United Kingdom after the Brexit referendum. Overall, this volume contributes to ongoing debates on migration and the welfare state in Europe by showing how non-EU sending states continue to play a role in third country nationals’ ability to deal with social risks. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.

    Rethinking Interdisciplinarity across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences (2021)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book offers a provocative account of interdisciplinary research across the neurosciences, social sciences and humanities. Setting itself against standard accounts of interdisciplinary 'integration,' and rooting itself in the authors' own experiences, the book establishes a radical agenda for collaboration across these disciplines. Rethinking Interdisciplinarity does not merely advocate interdisciplinary research, but attends to the hitherto tacit pragmatics, affects, power dynamics, and spatial logics in which that research is enfolded. Understanding the complex relationships between brains, minds, and environments requires a delicate, playful and genuinely experimental interdisciplinarity, and this book shows us how it can be done.

    Metodología de la investigación, ¿para qué? (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: En este libro, resultado de años de trabajo en las aulas y en el campo de la investigación social, se reflexiona y debate, especialmente, sobre dos cuestiones que se consideran trascendentes respecto del conocimiento metodológico: la producción de los datos y los diseños de investigación. La primera de ellas invita a atender el complejo pasaje del hecho al dato, pero, también, pone luz sobre un proceso que, si no es recorrido adecuadamente, transforma los datos en una deformada y falsa representación de la realidad en estudio. Descuidar este trayecto de la investigación condena al siguiente análisis que se haga sobre los datos a una patética expresión del “sinsentido", aunque se utilicen los más potentes y actualizados métodos y técnicas. En relación con los diseños de investigación, se discute qué se entiende por estrategia teórica y metodológica, y cómo se involucra y complejiza la noción de diseño.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Resulta más difícil manipular procesos de planificación y del uso del suelo si existe una participación ciudadana sólida, sea a nivel de la planificación territorial o hasta de un voto democrático directo decidiendo sobre un cierto proyecto.

Es una larga marcha hasta que lleguemos a sistemas realizables y equilibrados de planificación participativa. La presente obra nos puede servir como orientación en este importante camino.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open access book brings together a collection of cutting-edge insights into how action can and is already being taken against climate change at multiple levels of our societies, amidst growing calls for transformative and inclusive climate action. In an era of increasing recognition regarding climate and ecological breakdown, this book offers hope, inspiration and analyses for multi-level climate action, spanning varied communities, places, spaces, agents and disciplines, demonstrating how the energy and dynamism of local scales are a powerful resource in turning the tide. Interconnected yet conceptually distinct, the book’s three sections span multiple levels of analysis, interrogating diverse perspectives and practices inherent to the vivid tapestry of climate action emerging locally, nationally and internationally. Delivered in collaboration with the UK’s ‘Place-Based Climate Action Network’, chapters are drawn from a wide range of authors with varying backgrounds spread across academia, policy and practice.

    Gender Equality, Climate Action, and Technological Innovation for Sustainable Development in Africa (2024)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: This open access book explores the intersection of gender and climate change, suggests ways in which innovative technologies can accelerate climate relief actions, and offers strategies for integrating climate change initiatives into national policies and planning. By examining the devastating consequences of climate change on women and girls throughout the continent, the authors pose a crucial question: Does gender matter in climate change discussions in Africa? Political and social traditions have burdened women with greater vulnerability to the impacts of climate-related natural disasters, including violence, displacement, poverty, famine and lack of access to clean water. However, women are also key to effective and inclusive climate mitigation, adaptation, and decision-making. The authors provide a compelling discourse that identifi es the social and economic benefi ts for all citizens when genderinclusive policies shape equitable and targeted action plans, from mitigationto adaptation and funding. The UN’s SDG 13 calls for urgent action and commitment to combat climate change. The implementable and action-oriented propositions presented in this book will be of interest to students, educators, practitioners, third-sector actors, and policymakers committed to gender equality, sustainable development and climate action in Africa.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Una de las primeras intenciones del proceso creativo de este libro es la de encontrar(se)nos. Creemos que cartografiar implica reconocer que estamos, somos y crecemos en distintos espacios, temporalidades y dimensiones, con las particularidades que ahí se construyen, con la conciencia de que nos habitan y creamos multiplicidades. La dinámica de encuentros que logramos vivir, habilitó momentos de diálogos y escrituras inesperadas, tan impredecibles como el momento de pandemia que aún estamos atravesando como humanidad. Un libro es un encuentro. Este libro es la creación de esas alternativas que los espacios académicos no nos ofrecen, porque no existen (o son escasos), no fueron pensadas, no son rentables, no nos hacen competir. Este es un libro para hermanar, acuerpar, llorar, esperanzar y seguir. Es un libro para continuar tejiendo otras cartografías, otros territorios libres de todas las violencias. Siéntanse abrazadas por todas nosotras.

    Chasing the Chinese Dream (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer Singapore
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This open access book explores the historical, cultural and philosophical contexts that have made anti-poverty the core of Chinese society since Liberation in 1949, and why poverty alleviation measures evolved from the simplistic aid of the 1950s to Xi Jinping’s precision poverty alleviation and its goal of eliminating absolute poverty by 2020. The book also addresses the implications of China’s experience for other developing nations tackling not only poverty but such issues as pandemics, rampant urbanization and desertification exacerbated by global warming. The first of three parts draws upon interviews of rural and urban Chinese from diverse backgrounds and local and national leaders. These interviews, conducted in even the remotest areas of the country, offer candid insights into the challenges that have forced China to continually evolve its programs to resolve even the most intractable cases of poverty. The second part explores the historic, cultural and philosophical roots of old China’s meritocratic government and how its ancient Chinese ethics have led to modern Chinese socialism’s stance that “poverty amidst plenty is immoral”. Dr. Huang Chengwei, one of China’s foremost anti-poverty experts, explains the challenges faced at each stage as China’s anti-poverty measures evolved over 70 years to emphasize “enablement” over “aid” and to foster bottom-up initiative and entrepreneurialism, culminating in Xi Jinping’s precision poverty alleviation. The book also addresses why national economic development alone cannot reduce poverty; poverty alleviation programs must be people-centered, with measurable and accountable practices that reach even to household level, which China has done with its “First Secretary” program. The third part explores the potential for adopting China’s practices in other nations, including the potential for replicating China’s successes in developing countries through such measures as the Belt and Road Initiative. This book also addresses prevalent misperceptions about China’s growing global presence and why other developing nations must address historic, systemic causes of poverty and inequity before they can undertake sustainable poverty alleviation measures of their own.

    Description: A lo largo de los años se ha evidenciado que las migraciones son fenómenos estructurales de nuestras sociedades y no esporádicos. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas, tanto desde los gobiernos, los organismos internacionales como desde la academia, se han aso ciado las migraciones al concepto de crisis. ¿Por qué se sigue vinculando la movilidad humana a la idea de un evento extraordinario de la modernidad? ¿La migración es una consecuencia de la crisis o una causa? ¿Cómo construyen los distintos gobiernos y organismos internacionales el concepto de crisis migratoria? Buscando responder a estos y otros interrogantes, los capítulos en este volumen ofrecen una mirada crítica al vínculo entre migración y crisis desde diferentes ángulos teóricos y geográfi cos e invitan a repensar los límites del propio concepto de crisis migratoria a través de doce estudios de caso organizados en torno a las categorías analíticas políticas, medioambiente e identidad.

    Description: El estudio etnográfico sobre los chichimecas jonáz, reconoce en la historia a uno de los pueblos originarios cazadores-recolectores del centro-norte de México, más denostado desde la época prehispánica por los Mexica o Aztecas, considerados como “perros sucios, inciviles", significado del término chichimeca; bárbaros-salvajes, por los conquista- dores ibéricos; holgazanes, que no trabajan y no producen nada, por algunos habitantes de San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato. El lector encontrará cómo los chichimecas-jonáz continúan siendo una sociedad marginal al resto de la sociedad dominante, pero resistiendo ante el embate del sistema capitalista que se apropia de sus territorios y fuerza laboral mediante megaproyectos extractivistas, energéticos, parques industriales y otros, que generan enormes ganancias a los capitales transnacionales, además de la expansión de las ciudades cercanas.

    Divorce in Europe (2021)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This open access book collects the major discussions in divorce research in Europe. It starts with an understanding of divorce trends. Why was divorce increasing so rapidly throughout the US and Europe and do we see signs of a turn? Do cohabitation breakups influence divorce trends or is there a renewed stability on the partner market? In terms of divorce risks, the book contains new insights on Eastern European countries. These post socialist countries have evolved dramatically since the fall of the Wall and at present they show the highest divorce figures in Europe. Also the influence of gender, and more specifically women’s education as a risk in divorce is examined cross nationally. The book also provides explanations for the negative gradient in female education effects on divorce. It devotes three separate parts to new insights in the post-divorce effects of the life course event by among others looking at consequences for adults and children but also taking the larger family network into account. As such the book is of interest to demographers, sociologists, psychologists, family therapists, NGOs, and politicians. “This wide-ranging volume details important trends in divorce in Europe that hold implications for understanding family dissolution causes and consequences throughout the world. Highly recommended for researchers and students everywhere.”

    Parental Life Courses after Separation and Divorce in Europe (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access book assembles landmark studies on divorce and separation in European countries, and how this affects the life of parents and children. It focuses on four major areas of post-separation lives, namely (1) economic conditions, (2) parent-child relationships, (3) parent and child well-being, and (4) health. Through studies from several European countries, the book showcases how legal regulations and social policies influence parental and child well-being after divorce and separation. It also illustrates how social policies are interwoven with the normative fabric of a country. For example, it is shown that father-child contact after separation is more intense in those countries which have adopted policies that encourage shared parenting. Correspondingly, countries that have adopted these regulations are at the forefront of more egalitarian gender role attitudes. Apart from a strong emphasis on the legal and social policy context, the studies in this volume adopt a longitudinal perspective and situate post-separation behaviour and well-being in the life course. The longitudinal perspective opens up new avenues for research to understand how behaviour and conditions prior or at divorce and separation affect later behaviour and well-being. As such this book is of special appeal to scholars of family research as well as to anyone interested in the role of divorce and separation in Europe in the 21st century.

    Games Without Frontiers? (2021)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open access book focuses on how and why digital games and gambling are increasingly intertwined and asks “does this matter?” Looking at how “loot boxes” became the poster child for the convergence of gambling and gaming, Wardle traces how we got here. She argues that the intersection between gambling and gaming cultures has a long lineage, one that can be traced back throughout the 20th century but also incorporates more recent trends like the poker boom of the 1990s, the development of social media gambling products and the development of skin betting markets. Underpinned by changing technology, which facilitated new ways to bet, trade and play, the intersection between gaming and gambling cultures and products has accelerated within the last decade – and shows little signs of stopping. Wardle explores what this means for our understanding of risk, how gaming and gambling entities use each other for commercial advantage, and crucially explores what young people think of this, before making recommendations for action.

    Quantitative Sustainability (2024)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: This open access book focuses on how scientific methodologies can help industrial managers, entrepreneurs and policymakers handle the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in an efficient and realistic way. It also offers an operative scheme for scientists to overcome their discipline barriers. Is interdisciplinarity an intrinsic research value or is it merely instrumental for handling the increasing flux of open problems that sustainability poses to science?Can these problems of sustainability be solved with what the authors already know? Is it just a matter of having the right people at the table and giving them sufficient resources, or is it something more? Is meeting the needs of the present without compromising those of future generations a scientific definition of sustainable development? Questions similar to those posed in the sixties regarding complexity must be asked about sustainability today. In addition, the new data science includes powerful tools for making novelquantitative predictions about future sustainability indicators, an open problem that the book discusses. This book is primarily addressed to Ph.D. students, postdocs and senior researchers in the Life and Hard Science (LHS) and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) disciplines, as well as professionals of the primary, secondary and tertiary industrial sectors.

    Más allá del decenio de los pueblos afrodescendientes (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Coeditado por el CIPS. Al conocer la proclamación del Decenio Internacional de los pueblos afrodescendientes (2015-2024), se hizo evidente que ello marcaba un contexto complejo con la dualidad de oportunidades y retos. No solo porque no basta un Decenio ante el genocidio histórico de los pueblos afrodescendientes, cuyos impactos sociales y personales calan la modernidad, sino porque la voluntad política de una gran parte de los Estados para asumir los compromisos del Decenio ha sido controversial. Como no podía ser de otro modo, los vínculos históricos entre racismo y colonialismo sustentan las bases de la colonialidad del poder, el saber y el género. Nos dimos a la tarea de asumir la oportunidad que representa el Decenio en clave de cimarronaje, alzando propuestas contra-hegemónicas entre las que destaca esta Primera Escuela Internacional de Posgrado “Más allá del Decenio de los pueblos afrodescendientes".

    Juventud y desigualdades en América Latina y el Caribe (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: En América Latina las juventudes se encuentran atravesadas por dos características fundamentales: desigualdades y diversidades. Situaciones como el desempleo o la pobreza se duplican o triplican en este segmento, que no solo atraviesan desigualdades materiales, sino también étnicas, sexuales y de género, territoriales, culturales, educativas, laborales, políticas y religiosas, entre otras. Los estudios relevados siguen mostrando un conjunto complejo y preocupante de paradojas y contrastes, junto con un profundo malestar social, evidente en las irrupciones de movimientos juveniles que hasta no hace mucho tiempo permanecían poco visibles en el espacio público y que en los últimos años han ocupado calles y plazas en lucha por diversos temas, por ejemplo, educación pública, gratuita, democrática y de calidad.

    Description: Esta antología de Horacio González es una invitación a aventurarse en el archipiélago completo de la obra de una de las figuras claves en la conversación pública de Argentina. El recorrido propuesto por los compiladores incluye tanto capítulos fundamentales como algunas rarezas y piezas dispersas que buscan presentarnos a un ensayista cuyo estilo está hecho, a la vez, de derroche y precisión. El volumen transita entre la lectura de los clásicos del pensamiento argentino que arriesgaron un surco propio en la historia de las ideas de este país y artículos abocados a pensar los “años de la revolución". Guía el itinerario la pregunta sobre cómo tratar los archivos que nos llegan del pasado, pero también aquellos que circulan y nos comprometen en el presente.

    Description: El tema de las juventudes indígenas es radial, vale decir, un campo semántico y epistémico que abre un conjunto de componentes conceptuales, antropológicos, sociológicos, lingüísticos, étnicos-culturales que lejos de crear dispersión, obligan a reconocer la complejidad de todo esfuerzo de crítica esencial a las múltiples formas de colonialidad y neocolonialidad persistentes en las relaciones inter e intrageneracionales y las causas estructurales que las explican. La indagación teórico-conceptual lograda, permite sortear fáciles como frágiles entusiasmos sobre cuestiones complejas que exigen reflexión crítica como lo que refiere a descolonizar el pensamiento y enfrentar la colonialidad de las subjetividades.

    Migrants and Expats: The Swiss Migration and Mobility Nexus (2021)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: This open access book provides insight on current patterns of migration in Switzerland, which fall along a continuum from long-term and permanent to more temporary and fluid. These patterns are shaped by the interplay of legal norms, economic drivers and societal factors. The various dimensions of this Migration-Mobility Nexus are investigated by means of newly collected survey data: the Migration-Mobility Survey. The book covers different aspects of life in the host country, including the family dimension, the labour market and political participation as well as social integration. The book also takes into account the chronological dimension of migration by considering the migrants’ arrival, their stay, and their expectations regarding return. Through applying conclusions drawn from the Swiss context to the migration literature on other European and high-income countries, this book contributes to new knowledge on current migration processes in high-income countries. As such it will be a valuable reference work to scholars and students in migration, social scientists and policy makers.

    Stakeholder Relationships And Sustainability (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open-access book analyses how stakeholder relationships impact the sustainability of health aid. It does this by providing an overarching analytical framework, which allows for a systematic analysis of sustainability, relationships, and a possible causal link between these phenomena. The book goes beyond universal paradigms and detailed single-case studies by offering a thorough analysis of development projects to identify the factors that are also applicable to similar initiatives in comparable contexts. Empirically, it focuses on two health initiatives, both implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic, a country pursuing a sector-wide approach to health aid. Unique primary material provides insights into a geographic region that is mostly neglected, and will be of interest to students and researchers of social policy, development studies, international health and those focusing on the post-Soviet region and Central Asia.

    Description: La antología Pensamiento social español sobre América Latina tiene el objetivo de acercar al público la rica y diversa tradición de ideas, autores y escuelas españolas que han pensado América Latina y que han influido en el desarrollo de las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas como impactaron en los ámbitos académico, cultural y político de uno y otro lado del Atlántico. Pues el desarrollo de las ciencias sociales, tanto en España como en América Latina, ha seguido historias con bastantes entrecruzamientos. Si las circunstancias y la gestación de la propia idea de ciencias sociales y de "sociología latinoamericana" fueron fundadas como tal a mediados del siglo XX como un campo de investigación regional y como un proceso endógeno de producción de ideas, de categorías y de teorías, no solo tiene un valor anecdótico el señalar la participación de pensadores españoles en ese movimiento.

    Description: Este libro colectivo pone a disposición del lector un conjunto de innovaciones teóricas orientadas a renovar el gran proyecto de la sociología latinoamericana. En tal sentido, desde un registro plural, el libro se propone reconceptualizar los tópicos clásicos que desde mediados del siglo XX inciden de modo protagónico en la conformación de la agenda pública de las ciencias sociales en la región. A la cabeza de estos asuntos se sitúan el problema del cambio social, la dilucidación de la especificidad continental en el concierto mundial, la evolución histórica del estado y de la economía, la prefiguración del futuro de América Latina, así como la permanente revisión de las coordenadas para una ciencia social crítica, científica y con pretensión transformadora.

    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access book focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of 'The World Class University', its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory. The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ‘reputation race’ and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development.

    Description: This open access book outlines development theory and practice over time as well as critically interrogates the “cultural turn” in development policy in Latin American indigenous communities, specifically, in Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It becomes apparent that culturally sustainable development is both a new and old idea, which is simultaneously traditional and modern, and that it is a necessary iteration in thinking on development. This new strain of thought could inform not only the work of development practitioners, graduate students, and theorists working in the Global South, but in the Global North as well.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: What motivates social sciences field researchers in the in a small, peripheral and distant country as Norway to study social phenomena in Latin America? To what extent can we say that the Norwegian social thought is part of a hegemonic Western knowledge project? The researchers who by birth or (bad) luck do have Norway as geographic base for their academic work, have really something in common? These are some of the questions that we explored in this book. The purpose is to analyze the Norwegian social thought on Latin America in the context of Norwegian geopolitics — interpreted here as ‘the geopolitics of the weak’ —, the cooperation and development policies, as well as the different international lines of thought in the academic and ideological fields. This book is a fundamental contribution to understand the relationship between these two distant regions, but which cultivate an ever-enriching academic dialogue.

    Managing Socio-ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes for Sustainable Communities in Asia (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access book presents up-to-date analyses of community-based approaches to sustainable resource management of SEPLS (socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes) in areas where a harmonious relationship between the natural environment and the people who inhabit it is essential to ensure community and environmental well-being as well as to build resilience in the ecosystems that support this well-being. Understanding SEPLS and the forces of change that can weaken their resilience requires the integration of knowledge across a wide range of academic disciplines as well as from indigenous knowledge and experience. Moreover, given the wide variation in the socio-ecological makeup of SEPLS around the globe, as well as in their political and economic contexts, individual communities will be at the forefront of developing the measures appropriate for their unique circumstances. This in turn requires robust communication systems and broad participatory approaches. Sustainability science (SuS) research is highly integrated, participatory and solutions driven, and as such is well suited to the study of SEPLS. Through case studies, literature reviews and SuS analyses, the book explores various approaches to stakeholder participation, policy development and appropriate action for the future of SEPLS. It provides communities, researchers and decision-makers at various levels with new tools and strategies for exploring scenarios and creating future visions for sustainable societies.

    Description: Una vocación se siente como el resultado de algo en el fuero interno que nos moviliza en una dirección específica; uno se enamora de una profesión y busca que los demás también se enamoren; uno siente que tiene un mensaje muy concreto para compartir, o bien una meta muy palpable que alcanzar; una vocación se realiza por placer antes que por deber, y en este sentido se siente más como un hobby que como un trabajo. La vocación se vivencia como un trabajo que nos otorga y nos reafirma nuestra identidad, que nos llena de sentido y nos brinda plenitud. Quien tiene una vocación no separa sus horas de trabajo de sus horas de ocio, sino que ellas se mezclan porque el trabajo contiene ya un elemento de juego, de creatividad, de entretenimiento. Quien tiene una vocación no espera el fin de semana, sono que añora que vuelva el lunes. Quien tiene una vocación no separa trabajo por un lado y el resto de las cosas de la vida por otro.

Reúne artículos que presentan parte de los resultados de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en Argentina, Brasil y Colombia en el marco del proyecto POLAME (Poverty, Language and Media –Pobreza, Lenguaje y Medios–) financiado por la cooperación noruega. Los autores pertenecen al equipo de este proyecto salvo el caso de Marcela Toro, articulista invitada. El objetivo del proyecto POLAME fue detectar las expresiones lingüísticas usadas en la prensa de cuatro países indo/latinoamericanos (Brasil, Argentina, Colombia y México), palabras, vocabulario, nociones, conceptos, atributos sobre la pobreza y sus representaciones, partiendo del supuesto de que, como formadora de opinión, la prensa hegemónica reproduce concepciones, creencias e ideologías sobre la pobreza.

    ¿Condenados a la reflexividad? (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Este libro presenta una revisión crítica de la reexividad metodológica en las ciencias sociales, tanto en el plano teórico como en el empírico. Mientras que la exploración teórica se centra en la noción de reexividad y sus usos en la metodología, la sociología y la antropología, en el plano empírico se propone un análisis de su importancia en tres aproximaciones de investigación especícas: la perspectiva biográca, la etnografía y los métodos mixtos. Para ello, se considera el lugar de la reexividad en relación con distintos aspectos del proceso de investigación social empírica, desde la construcción del objeto a la escritura, pasando por el trabajo de campo y el análisis de los datos, entre otros. Partiendo de la presunción de que no existe una única manera de concebir y abordar la reexividad metodológica, el libro interpela a las ciencias sociales e invita a preguntarse si en el marco de estas disciplinas los procesos de investigación empírica están inevitablemente condenados a la reexividad.

    Sustainable Development Goals and Human Rights (2021)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: This open access book analyses the interplay of sustainable development and human rights from different perspectives including fight against poverty, health, gender equality, working conditions, climate change and the role of private actors. Each aspect is addressed from a more human rights-focused angle and a development-policy angle. This allows comparisons between the different approaches but also seeks to close gaps which would remain if only one perspective would be at the center of the discussions. Specifically, the book shows the strong connections between human rights and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Already the preamble of this document explicitly states that “the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ... seek to realise the human rights of all”. Moreover, several goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda correspond to already existing individual human rights obligations. The contributions of this volume therefore also address how the implementation of human rights and SDGs can reinforce each other, but also point to critical shortcomings of the different approaches.

    A Circular Built Environment in the Digital Age (2024)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This open access book offers a comprehensive exploration of the digital innovations that have emerged in recent years for the circular built environment. Each chapter is meticulously crafted to ensure that both academic readers and industry practitioners can grasp the inner workings of each digital technology, understand its relevance to the circular built environment, examine real-life implementations, and appreciate the intriguing business models behind them. Our primary objective is to blend scholarly knowledge with practical inspiration by providing real-life case studies for each innovation. The authors, who possess extensive expertise in their respective fields, have contributed chapters dedicated to digital technologies within their areas of specialization. The book is organized into three distinct parts. The first part focuses on data-driven digital technologies and delves into how their capabilities can facilitate the transition to a circular built environment. Essential aspects such as building information modeling (BIM), digital twins, geographical information systems (GIS), scanning technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), data templates, and material passports are explored as vital tools for data collection, integration, and analysis in the context of circular construction. In the second part, various digital technologies for design and fabrication are introduced. Topics covered include computational design algorithms, additive and subtractive manufacturing, robotic manufacturing, and extended reality. These discussions shed light on how these technologies can be leveraged to enhance design and fabrication processes within the circular built environment. Finally, the last part of the book presents emerging digital concepts related to business and governance. It explores the role of deconstruction and reverse logistics, blockchain technology, digital building logbooks, and innovative business models as enablers of circularity in the built environment. The book concludes with a chapter dedicated to digital transformation and its potential to propel the built environment towards a regenerative future. In addition to the substantive content, the book features forewords and perspectives from esteemed experts, providing valuable economic and creative insights to complement its comprehensive approach.

    Towards a Natural Social Contract (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open access book states that the societal fault lines of our times are deeply intertwined and that they confront us with challenges affecting the security, fairness and sustainability of our societies. The author, Prof. Dr. Patrick Huntjens, argues that overcoming these existential challenges will require a fundamental shift from our current anthropocentric and economic growth-oriented approach to a more ecocentric and regenerative approach. He advocates for a Natural Social Contract that emphasizes long-term sustainability and the general welfare of both humankind and planet Earth. Achieving this crucial balance calls for an end to unlimited economic growth, overconsumption and over-individualisation for the benefit of ourselves, our planet, and future generations. To this end, sustainability, health, and justice in all social-ecological systems will require systemic innovation and prioritizing a collective effort. The Transformative Social-Ecological Innovation (TSEI) framework presented in this book serves that cause. It helps to diagnose and advance innovation and spur change across sectors, disciplines, and at different levels of governance. Altogether, TSEI identifies intervention points and formulates jointly developed and shared solutions to inform policymakers, administrators, concerned citizens, and professionals dedicated towards a more sustainable, healthy and just society. A wide readership of students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in social innovation, transition studies, development studies, social policy, social justice, climate change, environmental studies, political science and economics will find this cutting-edge book particularly useful. “As a sustainability transition researcher, I am truly excited about this book. Two unique aspects of the book are that it considers bigger transformation issues (such as societies’ relationship with nature, purpose and justice) than those studied in transition studies and offers analytical frameworks and methods for taking up the challenge of achieving change on the ground.” - Prof. Dr. René Kemp, United Nations University and Maastricht Sustainability Institute

    Agricultural Value Chains in India (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer Singapore
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book provides a clear holistic conceptual framework of CISS-F (competitiveness, inclusiveness, sustainability, scalability and access to finance) to analyse the efficiency of value chains of high value agricultural commodities in India. It is based on the understanding that agriculture is an integrated system that connects farming with logistics, processing and marketing. Farmer’s welfare being central to any agricultural policy makes it very pertinent to study how a value chain works and can be strengthened further to realize this policy goal. This book adds value to the existing research by studying the value chains end-to-end across a wide spectrum of agricultural commodities with the holistic lens of CISS-F. It is not enough that a value chain is competitive but not inclusive or it is competitive and inclusive but not sustainable. The issue of scalability is very critical to achieve macro gains in terms of greater farmer outreach and sectoral growth. The research undertaken here brings out some very useful insights for policymaking in terms of what needs to be done better to steer the agricultural value chains towards being more competitive, inclusive, sustainable and scalable. The value chain specific research findings help draw very nuanced policy recommendations as well as present a big picture of the future direction of policy making in agriculture.

I use the word "texts" as a generic term referring to all their activism through life experiences, struggles and their writings. I submit that each of these element complement each other to comprise what I state as a "text". Rigoberta is from Guatemala and belongs to Maya Quiche community, and had suffered a lot along with her community members at the hands of "Ladinos" (The landlords of white skin "from native Indians and Spanish colonizers," who exploited local native people in their cotton, sugarcane and coffee farms in the high lands) because they were being exploited in terms of low wages and the worst working conditions.

    Community and Identity in Contemporary Technosciences (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This open access edited book provides new thinking on scientific identity formation. It thoroughly interrogates the concepts of community and identity, including both historical and contemporaneous analyses of several scientific fields. Chapters examine whether, and how, today’s scientific identities and communities are subject to fundamental changes, reacting to tangible shifts in research funding as well as more intangible transformations in our society’s understanding and expectations of technoscience. In so doing, this book reinvigorates the concept of scientific community. Readers will discover empirical analyses of newly emerging fields such as synthetic biology, systems biology and nanotechnology, and accounts of the evolution of theoretical conceptions of scientific identity and community. With inspiring examples of technoscientific identity work and community constellations, along with thought-provoking hypotheses and discussion, the work has a broad appeal. Those involved in science governance will benefit particularly from this book, and it has much to offer those in scholarly fields including sociology of science, science studies, philosophy of science and history of science, as well as teachers of science and scientists themselves. ; Reinvigorates the concept of scientific community Delineates ongoing changes across a range of epistemic cultures Elaborates on social, cultural and political aspects of contemporary technoscience Traces historical influences on technoscience, including in the European context Provides new thinking on scientific identity formation

    Description: Die Open-Access-Studie nimmt eine plurale Perspektive auf Survey-Qualität ein und untersucht empirisch unterschiedliche Logiken der Survey-Produktion. Wie aufgezeigt wird, gehen die vier identifizierten Survey-Welten mit unterschiedlichen Koordinationsprozessen und Qualitätskonventionen einher. Survey-Qualität wird dabei auf einer pragmatischen Basis im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche Nutzungskontexte von statistischen Daten konzipiert. Durch die Verknüpfung der Qualitätsthematik mit der praktischen Organisation des Produktionsprozesses von surveybasierten Daten wird eine engere Verbindung zwischen den Arbeiten der normativen Survey-Methodologie und den Herausforderungen der empirischen Survey-Praxis angestrebt. Die Arbeit präsentiert die Pluralität der Praxisformen von Umfragen, sie identifiziert die Vielfalt der Qualitätskriterien und sie leistet eine konzeptionelle Grundlage für reflexives Survey-Management. Der Inhalt Perspektiven auf Survey-Qualität ● Die erweiterte Perspektive der Economie des conventions ● Methodologische Grundlegung und methodisches Vorgehen ● Die vier Survey-Welten im Überblick ● Survey-Projekte aus einer survey-weltlichen Perspektive ● Eine vertiefte survey-weltliche Perspektive auf Surveys ● Skizze einer Systematisierung von Relationen zwischen Regimen des Engagements und Rechtfertigungsordnungen Der Autor Dr. Raphael Vogel war bis Juni 2018 Mitarbeiter am Soziologischen Seminar der Universität Luzern.

    Description: Este libro busca problematizar la presencia o ausencia de un actor fundamental en los procesos expulsivos de migración y exilio: el papel que tiene el poder político, el Estado y sus instituciones. Tanto por el carácter expulsor como receptor y de tránsito, los estudios deben detenerse a indagar en las lógicas políticas de exclusión y de integración de desplazados o migrantes según sea el caso. Esperamos que los trabajos aquí reunidos contribuyan al planteamiento de otras preguntas y a fortalecer el diálogo interdisciplinar para la comprensión de los fenómenos migratorios en toda su complejidad.

    Description: Este libro reúne una serie de relatos que exploran con una mirada etnográfica los vínculos entre la cultura y el amor romántico. De entrada pareciera una empresa diáfana en sus pretensiones, esto si se da por cosa obvia o sobrentendida el recorrido que lleva, tanto del relato a la etnografía, como de la cultura al amor romántico. Ahora, aunque este conjunto de textos da cuenta de diferentes paisajes, lugares y escenas en el espacio y el tiempo, es obvio que ellos apenas son ejemplos, en exceso singulares, dentro del espectro inconmensurable de prácticas culturales que existen alrededor del amor romántico. Si bien para algunos el carácter excesivamente circunscrito de los textos puede inhabilitarlos para trascender a enunciados de más largo alcance sobre el amor romántico, para otros estos textos pueden ser una muestra de que investigar desde emplazamientos bien localizados permite construir unos principios sugerentes que, con juicio y con cuidado, sometidos a la debida vigilancia epistemológica, teórica y metodológica, confrontados desde la experiencia, se pueden proponer para órdenes de mayor alcance.

    Description: Este trabajo no busca cuestionar ni desacreditar la imprescindible actividad académica, ni sus enormes aportaciones sociales, ni dejar de reconocer el trabajo serio, riguroso y socialmente incidente que han realizado y realizan una gran cantidad de científicos sociales. Sabemos y reconocemos que desde las ciencias sociales se imprime mucho esfuerzo, conocimiento y compromiso en aras de resolver problemas económicos, políticos, psicosociales y ecológicos y que esta labor la realizan de manera cotidiana y sistemática colegas que trabajan con una enorme empatía social y respeto a las comunidades, los grupos o los sectores sociales con quienes investigan. Sin embargo, también reconocemos sesgos importantes inscriptos en el propio campo científico donde prevalecen orientaciones vinculadas con enfoques neoliberales de la ciencia, donde más allá de la perspectiva teórica con la que se investiga,predomina la impronta neoliberal monológica.

    Urban Planning Against Poverty (2021)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This open access book revisits the theoretical foundations of urban planning and the application of these concepts and methods in the context of Southern countries by examining several case studies from different regions of the world. For instance, the case of Koudougou, a medium-sized city in one of the poorest countries in the world, Burkina Faso, with a population of 115.000 inhabitants, allows us to understand concretely which and how these deficiencies are translated in an African urban context. In contrast, the case of Nueve de Julio, intermediate city of 50.000 dwellers in the pampa Argentina, addresses the new forms of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion linked with agro export and crisis of the international markets. Case studies are also included for cities in Asia and Latin America. Differences and similarities between cases allow us to foresee alternative models of urban planning better adapted to tackle poverty and find efficient ways for more inclusive cities in developing and emerging countries, interacting several dimensions linked with high rates of urbanization: territorial fragmentation; environmental contamination; social disparities and exclusion, informal economy and habitat, urban governance and democracy.

    Pensamiento social ruso sobre América Latina (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: El objetivo principal de esta antología no es, desde luego, hacer el recuento integral de todo lo que se pensó y dijo en “Rusia" acerca de América Latina. Antes bien, de lo que se trata es de ofrecer elementos que puedan ayudar al lector a emprender rastreos más sistemáticos de las transformaciones en la percepción “rusa" acerca de América Latina a la luz de los cambios políticos en “Rusia", con un triple acento colocado en la latinoamericanística académica, en la dimensión histórica y en la geopolítica de las identidades. El entrecomillado utilizado para la palabra “Rusia" obedece a que, de modo similar a lo que ocurre con otras regiones, el uso de un topónimo específico implica ocluir los complejos procesos que van dando lugar a la conformación de una entidad histórico-cultural. “Rusia" en esta antología denota, en efecto, lo que fuera el Imperio Ruso antes de 1917, la Unión Soviética entre 1922 y 1991, y la Federación Rusa a partir de 1991.

    Description: Este libro es una contribución a la reflexión y al debate sobre los grandes retos que entraña el tema migratorio como problema teórico y fenómeno social de nuestro tiempo. La pregunta subyacente en el texto es ¿cómo reparar un sistema migratorio roto por la implosión del proceso globalizador, destructor de los medios de vida de millones de seres humanos? Frente a esta crisis migratoria los gobiernos responden con medidas de contención en las que se incluyen "muros" que profundizan las dificultades para el tránsito y muestran el rostro de una "crisis humanitaria" que interpela a los derechos humanos.Fruto de un esfuerzo colaborativo, este volumen fue pensado en una reunión que convocó El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, en Tijuana, cuando recién se estrenaba en México el gobierno de la Cuarta Transformación, para reflexionar en torno al "nuevo paradigma" de la política migratoria de este país. Las amenazas del gobierno de Donald Trump a México.

    Social Democratic Parties and the Working Class (2021)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access book carefully explores the relationship between social democracy and its working-class electorate in Western Europe. Relying on different indicators, it demonstrates an important transformation in the class basis of social democracy. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the working-class vote is strongly fragmented and social democratic parties face competition on multiple fronts for their core electorate – and not only from radical right parties. Starting from a reflection on ‘working-class parties’ and using a sophisticated class schema, the book paints a nuanced and diversified picture of the trajectory of social democracy that goes beyond a simple shift from working-class to middle-class parties. Following a detailed description, the book reviews possible explanations of workers' new voting patterns and emphasizes the crucial changes in parties' ideologies. It closes with a discussion on the role of the working class in social democracy's future electoral strategies.

    Introduction to Development Engineering (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This open access textbook introduces the emerging field of Development Engineering and its constituent theories, methods, and applications. It is both a teaching text for students and a resource for researchers and practitioners engaged in the design and scaling of technologies for low-resource communities. The scope is broad, ranging from the development of mobile applications for low-literacy users to hardware and software solutions for providing electricity and water in remote settings. It is also highly interdisciplinary, drawing on methods and theory from the social sciences as well as engineering and the natural sciences. The opening section reviews the history of “technology-for-development” research, and presents a framework that formalizes this body of work and begins its transformation into an academic discipline. It identifies common challenges in development and explains the book’s iterative approach of “innovation, implementation, evaluation, adaptation.” Each of the next six thematic sections focuses on a different sector: energy and environment; market performance; education and labor; water, sanitation and health; digital governance; and connectivity. These thematic sections contain case studies from landmark research that directly integrates engineering innovation with technically rigorous methods from the social sciences. Each case study describes the design, evaluation, and/or scaling of a technology in the field and follows a single form, with common elements and discussion questions, to create continuity and pedagogical consistency. Together, they highlight successful solutions to development challenges, while also analyzing the rarely discussed failures. The book concludes by reiterating the core principles of development engineering illustrated in the case studies, highlighting common challenges that engineers and scientists will face in designing technology interventions that sustainably accelerate economic development. Development Engineering provides, for the first time, a coherent intellectual framework for attacking the challenges of poverty and global climate change through the design of better technologies. It offers the rigorous discipline needed to channel the energy of a new generation of scientists and engineers toward advancing social justice and improved living conditions in low-resource communities around the world.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: El presente libro de la colección "Diálogos" de CLACSO, coeditado con la Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, busca avanzar en el cumplimiento de dos propósitos. El primero consiste en alimentar la discusión con la sociología crítica alemana, y en particular con una de las colectividades sociológicas de izquierda más vigorosas de Europa. Nos referimos a lo que podría llamarse la "Escuela de Jena" y cuyos referentes son Klaus Dörre, Stephan Lessenich y Harmut Rosa. El segundo propósito, más trascendental para el futuro regional, apunta al desarrollo progresivo de una nueva sociología del capitalismo y del cambio social desde y para América Latina.

    Building the Inclusive City (2021)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Pivot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This Open Access book is an anthropological urban study of the Emirate of Dubai, its institutions, and their evolution. It provides a contemporary history of disability in city planning from a non-Western perspective and explores the cultural context for its positioning. Three insights inform the author’s approach. First, disability research, much like other urban or social issues, must be situated in a particular place. Second, access and inclusion forms a key part of both local and global planning issues. Third, a 21st century planning education should take access and inclusion into consideration by applying a disability lens to the empirical, methodological, and theoretical advances of the field. By bridging theory and practice, this book provides new insights on inclusive city planning and comparative urban theory. This book should be read as part of a larger struggle to define and assert access; it’s a story of how equity and justice are central themes in building the cities of the future and of today.

    Closing Rice Yield Gaps in Asia (2023)
    Springer Nature | Springer Nature Switzerland
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book contributes not only to the scientific literature on sustainable agricultural development and in particular rice agriculture but also is highly valuable to assist practitioners, projects, and policymakers due to its sections on reducing carbon footprint, agricultural innovations, and lessons learned from a multi-country/multi-stages development project. The scope of the book is conceived as a detailed documentation of the implementation, dissemination, and impact of the CORIGAP project in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, with spill-over to Cambodia and the Philippines. It pulls together actionable research findings with the experience of bringing these findings into use. The aim of the book is to provide a wide array of pathways to impact for sustainable rice production in lowland irrigated rice-based agricultural systems. The book is written by local actors of the rice value chain, researchers, and engineers working on a range of best management practices, climate-smart rice production innovations, knowledge translation, and dissemination, as well as decision-making and policy aspects. It is envisioned that the contents of the book can be translated into messages that can help farmers, extension workers, policymakers, and funders of agricultural development, decide on implementing best management practices and climate-smart technologies in their agroecological systems by presenting the technological/practical options along the rice value chain and the partnerships and business models required for their implementation. The book is aimed at practitioners, extension specialists, researchers, and engineers interested in information on current best management practices, sustainable, and climate-smart rice production and constraints that need further investigation. Furthermore, the book is also aimed at policymakers and agricultural development funders required by public opinion and legally binding agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve biodiversity and increase agroecological practices, who are looking for research-based evidence to guide policymaking and implementation.

    Highly-Skilled Migration: Between Settlement and Mobility (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access short reader discusses the emerging patterns of sedentary migration versus mobility of the highly-skilled thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the recent literature on highly-skilled migration. Highly-skilled migrations are arguably the only non-controversial migrant category in political and public discourse. The common perception is that highly-skilled migrants are high-earners with top educational skills and that they are easy to integrate. These perceptions make them a “wanted” migrant. There seems to be however a big divide between the popular perceptions of this migration and its realities uncovered in social research. This publication closes this divide by delving deeper in the variety of experiences, discourses and realities of highly skilled migrants, thereby uncovering the inherent divides between the highly skilled migrants from the North and the South. The reader shows that these divides are constructed realities, shaped by the state policies and underpinned by social imaginary. Written in an accessible language this reader is a perfect read for academics, students and policy makers and all those unfamiliar with the topic.

    Resilience and Food Security in a Food Systems Context (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book compiles a series of chapters written by internationally recognized experts known for their in-depth but critical views on questions of resilience and food security. The book assesses rigorously and critically the contribution of the concept of resilience in advancing our understanding and ability to design and implement development interventions in relation to food security and humanitarian crises. For this, the book departs from the narrow beaten tracks of agriculture and trade, which have influenced the mainstream debate on food security for nearly 60 years, and adopts instead a wider, more holistic perspective, framed around food systems. The foundation for this new approach is the recognition that in the current post-globalization era, the food and nutritional security of the world’s population no longer depends just on the performance of agriculture and policies on trade, but rather on the capacity of the entire (food) system to produce, process, transport and distribute safe, affordable and nutritious food for all, in ways that remain environmentally sustainable. In that context, adopting a food system perspective provides a more appropriate frame as it incites to broaden the conventional thinking and to acknowledge the systemic nature of the different processes and actors involved. This book is written for a large audience, from academics to policymakers, students to practitioners. This is an open access book.

    Trabajo global y desigualdades en el mercado laboral (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: La globalización neoliberal fomentó una paradójica tensión entre las supuestas tendencias hacia la homogeneización y uniformización social, y la aparición de nuevas desigualdades sociales. La sociedad actual, lejos de experimentar las consecuencias del llamado “fin del trabajo", expresa sus efectos en cuanto a las formas de gestión laboral promovidas, la flexibilización, la desregulación de relaciones laborales y la pérdida de calidad de las ocupaciones. En este entorno, resulta incluso contradictorio que los conceptos de empleo y desempleo hayan perdido sus significados clásicos ante el aumento del trabajo asalariado socialmente desprotegido y precario, la desaparición de las modalidades salariales convencionales, la expansión del trabajo independiente, autónomo o por cuenta propia, y la emergencia de ocupaciones cada vez más heterogéneas y desigualmente rentables que afectan a gran parte de la fuerza de trabajo, en particular, a la social y demográficamente más vulnerable, dando lugar a nuevas modalidades de desigualdad social y pobreza.

    Description: Cada uno de los capítulos de este libro hace foco en temáticas que iluminan desigualdades sociales, políticas, económicas y culturales de las infancias y juventudes de América Latina y el Caribe. Asimismo, cada uno de los trabajos aborda temáticas generales y transversales que se tensionan en estudios concretos y temáticas particulares. Si bien los trabajos retoman diversos modos de acceso al campo, asumen como espacio común y punto de partida un posicionamiento político y epistemológico, que no solo se evidencia en las descripciones de contexto, sino fundamentalmente en comprender las desigualdades como categoría central para el abordaje transversal de los estudios de infancias y juventudes en ciencias sociales. Pues los investigadores que participamos como coautores de este libro no nos asumimos como analistas neutrales, por el contrario, estamos inmersos en la sociedad desigual y problemáticas que investigamos.

    Enabling Sustainable Energy Transitions (2021)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This open access book reframes sustainable energy transitions as being a matter of resolving accountability crises. It demonstrates how the empirical study of several practices of legitimation can analytically deconstruct energy transitions, and presents a typology of these practices to help determine whether energy transitions contribute to sustainability. The real-world challenge of climate change requires sustainable energy transitions. This presents a crisis of accountability legitimated through situated practices in a wide range of cases including: solar energy transitions in Portugal, urban energy transitions in Germany, forestland conflicts in Indonesia, urban carbon emission targets in Norway, transport electrification in the Nordic region, and biodiversity conservation and energy extraction in the USA. By synthesising these cases, chapters identify various dimensions wherein practices of legitimation construct specific accountability relations. This book deftly illustrates the value of an analytical approach focused on accountable governance to enable sustainable energy transitions. It will be of great use to both academics and practitioners working in the field of energy transitions.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Nas décadas de 1950 e, sobretudo, entre 1960 e 1970, as ciências sociais latino-americanas adquiriram notável reconhecimento em nível internacional, especialmente pela busca de um pensamiento crítico própio e com uma mistura de desciplinas e teorias. O livro de Hélgio Trindade reconstrói partes significativas dessa história e constrói uma plataforma essencial e inevitável para continuar investigando as ciências sociais na América Latina e no Caribe. Está escrito por alguém que fez e fez parte desse proceso, tanto pela sua produção acadêmica quanto pela sua atuação em organizações acadêmicas nacionais e internacionais (CLACSO, AUGM, ANPOCS, IESALC/UNESCO, UNILA). Ou seja, por um protagonista de primeira linha. Tenho para mim que em um momento em que -desde a década de 1990- o pensamiento crítico latino-americano perdeu o vigor das décadas anteriores, o livro do Hélgio é uma contribuição formidável para a recuperação necessária.

    Geflüchtete in ländlichen Regionen Deutschlands (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-19
    Description: Die Open-Access-Publikation präsentiert umfangreiche empirische Analysen zu Halte- und Bleibeorientierung Geflüchteter und richtet den Blick dabei besonders auf die Situation der ländlichen Regionen Deutschlands. Migrations- und Integrationsforschung in Deutschland war bislang überwiegend auf Großstädte ausgerichtet. Durch den vermehrten Zuzug geflüchteter Menschen seit 2014 sehen sich jedoch auch Kleinstädte und Dörfer in ländlichen Regionen verstärkt mit Aufgaben der Aufnahme und Integration von Geflüchteten konfrontiert. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, empirisch fundiert zu beantworten, unter welchen Voraussetzungen und wie humanitäres Engagement und ländliche Entwicklung erfolgreich verbunden werden können und wie dies von Politik und Zivilgesellschaft positiv beeinflusst werden kann.

    Antología del pensamiento crítico guatemalteco contemporáneo (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: La tarea de elaborar una antología del pensamiento social crítico en Guatemala ha supuesto un esfuerzo en varios sentidos. En primer lugar, delimitar qué se entiende por pensamiento crítico, y luego, decidir qué período abarcar, cuáles autoras y autores incluir, y cuáles los textos pertinentes […]. Para acotar la búsqueda se comprendió como pensamiento social crítico al conjunto de ideas elaboradas desde perspectivas divergentes, a contracorriente de los discursos y las historias oficiales, que han sido el resultado de la investigación, análisis, sistematización y reflexión sobre la realidad de la sociedad guatemalteca, con el propósito de desentrañar las estructuras de poder que sostienen un orden desigual, de raíces coloniales, que niega derechos y limita el desarrollo humano de la mayoría de la población, particularmente de las mujeres, y los pueblos indígenas. En la antología que ahora se presenta, se incluye a treinta y cinco autoras y autores, mujeres y hombres, de diversas identidades, y generaciones. Algunos con una producción muy vasta y otros que inician sus reflexiones. Se trató de mostrar una polifonía de voces y perspectivas, y para efectos de una mejor comprensión se establecieron cuatro ejes que dan cuenta de las principales preocupaciones sociales, intelectuales y políticas que han predominado en las décadas de finales del siglo veinte e inicios del veintiuno: “Estado, política, sociedad y economía" (Eje 1); “Violencia política, movimientos sociales, memoria e historia" (Eje 2); “Etnicidad, relaciones interétnicas, racismo" (Eje 3); y, por último, “Cuerpos, género, feminismos, sexualidades, violencia" (Eje 4). […] Considero este texto como un aporte más en el conocimiento de la producción intelectual en Guatemala, una invitación a profundizar en el pensamiento social crítico, a identificar autorías, temas y problemáticas que ahora no fueron incorporadas. Una motivación para continuar indagando y construyendo la historia de los aportes intelectuales en el país, ampliando miradas y ejes de análisis, temporalidades y temáticas. Del Prólogo de Ana Silvia Monzón

    La espacialidad crítica en el pensamiento político-social latinoamericano (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Los artículos se enmarcan en una perspectiva crítica interdisciplinaria que está abocada a la construcción y desarrollo de un marco teórico- epistemológico que procura relacionar las miradas antropológica, geográfica, politológica, sociológica, económica, histórica y filosófica, para el abordaje de las transformaciones del Estado en Latinoamérica asociadas al proceso globalizador, tomando como eje la categoría ?espacio?. Esta perspectiva explora la emergencia y las potencialidades de un cambio cognitivo paradigmático que no se limitaría a un desplazamiento epistémico-categorial (cronocentrismoespaciocentrismo), en diversas líneas de pensamiento crítico, histórico y contemporáneo, aspirando a participar y contribuir en los debates en torno a las transformaciones del Estado, la nación, la economía y la ciudadanía, desde una mirada fronteriza favorable a la reivindicación de ?lugares otros de enunciación.

    Gender Equality, Climate Action, and Technological Innovation for Sustainable Development in Africa (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open access book explores the intersection of gender and climate change, suggests ways in which innovative technologies can accelerate climate relief actions, and offers strategies for integrating climate change initiatives into national policies and planning. By examining the devastating consequences of climate change on women and girls throughout the continent, the authors pose a crucial question: Does gender matter in climate change discussions in Africa? Political and social traditions have burdened women with greater vulnerability to the impacts of climate-related natural disasters, including violence, displacement, poverty, famine and lack of access to clean water. However, women are also key to effective and inclusive climate mitigation, adaptation, and decision-making. The authors provide a compelling discourse that identifi es the social and economic benefi ts for all citizens when genderinclusive policies shape equitable and targeted action plans, from mitigationto adaptation and funding. The UN’s SDG 13 calls for urgent action and commitment to combat climate change. The implementable and action-oriented propositions presented in this book will be of interest to students, educators, practitioners, third-sector actors, and policymakers committed to gender equality, sustainable development and climate action in Africa.

    Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 2) (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This second open access book in a series of three volumes examines the repertoire of policies and programmes led by EU Member States to engage with their nationals residing abroad. Focusing on sending states’ engagement in the area of social protection, this book shows how a series of emigration-related policies that go beyond the realm of social security address the needs of nationals abroad in the area of health care, unemployment, family benefits, pensions and economic hardship. In addition, this volume highlights the variety of sending states’ institutions that are involved in these policies (consulates, diaspora institutions, ministries, agencies…) and their engagement with citizens abroad in other policy areas such as electoral rights, citizenship, language, culture, education, business or religion. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.

    Description: Este libro recoge un conjunto de investigaciones realizadas por los autores en el marco del Área de Educación de la FLACSO Argentina, con la pretensión de aportar ideas que contribuyan a la reflexión sobre la experiencia juvenil en el espacio escolar. El recorrido abarca casi una década de estudios sobre la escuela secundaria, con foco en los procesos de desigualdad, los vínculos entre jóvenes y adultos, la convivencia escolar y las formas contemporáneas de participación política. A lo largo de los capítulos se traza una radiografía explorando en los significados de la escuela secundaria, así como en las expectativas de las y los jóvenes acerca de lo que ocurre en el espacio escolar, particularmente en los aspectos que les gustan y los que cambiarían, y se indaga en las normas escolares realizando un recorrido que da cuenta de distintas formas de construcción de ciudadanía. Los autores apelan a diferentes situaciones escolares para dar cuenta de las maneras en que se relacionan las generaciones hoy y de la construcción de experiencias escolares más gratificantes; incorporando así nuevas discusiones al necesario debate sobre ese ciclo de nuestra educación formal.
