The Amazon from an International Law Perspective - Beatriz Garcia - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Amazon from an International Law Perspective - Beatriz Garcia - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

With a vast river network and rainforests extending over eight South American countries, the Amazon plays a vital role particularly in maintaining biodiversity and terrestrial carbon storage. Due to its ecological characteristics, the Amazon benefits not only those countries but also the international community at large. However, the Amazon forests are being rapidly cleared with a consequent loss of biodiversity and impact on global climate. This book examines whether international law has an impact on the preservation of the Amazon by inquiring into the forms of cooperation that exist among the Amazon countries, and between them and the international community, and to what extent international cooperation can help protect the Amazon. Given the role of this region in maintaining the balance of the global environment, the book examines whether the Amazon should be granted a special legal status and possible implications in terms of international cooperation.

Volkswagen in the Amazon - Antoine Acker - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Volkswagen in the Amazon - Antoine Acker - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

From 1973 to 1987, Volkswagen''s (VW) 140,000 hectare ''pioneer'' cattle ranch on the Amazon frontier laid bare the limits of capitalist development. These limits were not only economic, with the core management of a multinational company engaged in the ''integration'' of an extreme world periphery, but they were also legal and ethical, with the involvement of indentured labor and massive forest burning. Its physical limits were exposed by an unpredictable ecosystem refusing to submit to VW''s technological arsenal. Antoine Acker reveals how the VW ranch, a major project supported by the Brazilian military dictatorship, was planned, negotiated, and eventually undone by the intervention of internationally connected actors and events.
