Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume explores institutional change and performance in the resource-rich Andean countries during the last resource boom and in the early post-boom years. The latest global commodity boom has profoundly marked the face of the resource-rich Andean region, significantly contributing to economic growth and notable reductions of poverty and income inequality. The boom also constituted a period of important institutional change, with these new institutions sharing the potential of preventing or mitigating the maladies extractive economies tend to suffer from, generally denominated as the “resource curse”. This volume explores these institutional changes in the Andean region to identify the factors that have shaped their emergence and to assess their performance. The interdisciplinary and comparative perspective of the chapters in this book provide fine-grained analyses of different new institutions introduced in the Andean countries and discusses their findings in the light of the resource curse approach. They argue that institutional change and performance depend upon a much larger set of factors than those generally identified by the resource curse literature. Different, domestic and external, economic, political and cultural factors such as ideological positions of decision-makers, international pressure or informal practices have shaped institutional dynamics in the region. Altogether, these findings emphasize the importance of nuanced and contextualized analysis to better understand institutional dynamics in the context of extractive economies. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the extractive industries, natural resource management, political economics, Latin American studies and sustainable development.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

The book is concerned with transnational cooperation in Higher Education, especially among universities of the Global South and the Global North, and how it can contribute to promoting sustainable development. It reflects on the opportunities and the challenges of this type of cooperation by showcasing the implementation of a specific international academic program: The Sustainable Development Goals Graduate Schools (SDG GS) Program run by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funds from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Written by representatives of the different SDG GS, the chapters focus on the implementation and management aspects of the transnational academic partnerships. With the hands-on experience of the authors, the book provides rich insights into the building processes, challenges, and achievements of transnational sustainability cooperation in Higher Education.

Der südamerikanische Binnenstaat Bolivien erlebte in den Jahren 2000-2005 eine massive Protestwelle, in deren Verlauf es zu einem drastischen Anstieg der Protesthandlungen verschiedenster sozialer Gruppen kam. Bettina Schorr geht zum einen den Faktoren nach, die den Ausbruch, den Verlauf und den Niedergang dieser Protestwelle bedingt haben. Zum anderen untersucht sie ihre politischen Folgen. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse der Studie nach ihren theoretischen Implikationen für die Protestwellenforschung befragt.
