This thesis investigates the relationship between mining, nature conservation and the consequences for Venezuelan indigenous populations. This study shows that the so-called "Orinoco Mining Arc" in the Amazonian territory of Venezuela (a government mining initiative that generates a rapid – and in cases illegal – source of income, with little control by the respective Government) results in the so-called ecocide, that is, extensive and serious damage to nature that refers precisely to the total environmental destruction in a given area, whether or not it is protected.Show less

Chapter 1 points to the fact that forced sterilizations as a violation of human rights in Peru is part of a wider phenomenon observed in other contexts. Similarly, this thesis organizes the discussion around central elements of human rights relevant to the specific case of productive rights. The analysis is structured from a demographic perspective, considering the relationship between poverty and birth rate and patient rights. Empirical analysis focuses on the perception of upper-middle-class youth in Lima about the relationship between poverty and birth control policies.Show less

La pregunta principal de la investigación es: ¿Qué estrategias utilizan las raperas en sus obras para empoderar a otras mujeres dentro del movimiento hip-hop cubano? Después de responder a esta pregunta, tendremos una mejor comprensión de las formas en que las raperas cubanas invocan la fuerza interior de sus oyentes y el posible impacto real en ellas. Esto será relevante porque a lo largo de la historia el feminismo ha ignorado otras vías a través de las cuales los individuos pueden experimentar opresión y desigualdad. La música hecha por y para mujeres negras muestra otra narrativa que les permite arrojar luz sobre su historia social, cultural, política e individual que no son simples catarsis existenciales. Es importante comprender la forma en que se usa la música hip-hop cuando se busca desarrollar el amor propio y la autoestima. El estudio que realizo pone en juego el debate de cómo y en qué medida esto se pretende. De tal manera, la investigación presenta un análisis de las canciones de tres músicos cubanos dentro del movimiento hip-hop: La Reyna y La Real –“Ciao Papito” (2020)-, La Fina –“Mujer Afrocubana” (2013)- y Oye Habana –“Negra” (2009)-. Teniendo como base la letra y los videoclips, se ha identificado que los temas principales de tales objetos culturales se hallan relacionados con el feminismo decolonial y la conciencia feminista negra. Abrazar la herencia, tener agencia personal para contar su historia, son dos aspectos importantes que inspiran a otras afrocubanas a valorarse más entre sí y a sí mismas. También fue sometido a discusión si este comportamiento era realmente feminista, pues se corre el riesgo de establecer estereotipos dañinos, cuando no confusos o limítrofes con zonas de la realidad que desvían o aniquilan la autenticidad de variados procesos emancipadores.Show less

Se enfoca en la manera en que el Gobierno mexicano intenta solucionar el problema, influido por relaciones comerciales internacionales. Se analiza específicamente en qué medida el Gobierno mexicano es capaz de cumplir con los acuerdos y tratados internacionales en esta materia. Los escasos resultados en la guerra contra la piratería hacen que las empresas (inter)nacionales pierdan ingresos por su propiedad intelectual con el efecto de que México resulta menos atractivo para las inversiones y que tenga una mala reputación en el mundo empresarial internacional. Solo que esto no resulta en una posición muy desfavorable porque los países más desarrollados son dependientes de México para poder beneficiarse de sus derechos de propiedad intelectual. Por lo tanto, estos países buscan cooperar intensivamente para poder mejorar el sistema de protección de sus derechos en México.Show less

This has translated over time into the incorporation of various public policies and the creation of institutions that seek to make women's issues more visible and promote gender equality. Regarding Chilean female employability, there is still a wide gap between men and women, with Chile being one of the countries with the lowest female labor participation in the Latin American region. Most studies have focused on understanding this topic, mainly from the perspective of analyzing human capital and the characteristics of the labor market. However, in the last decades, theoretical work began to be produced that considered the cultural factor of this phenomenon. Thus, issues related to the type of society in which they live are considered relevant, contributing to the understanding of the employability patterns of women, especially those who are mothers. Where it is considered that the country context is rooted in traditional culture and has not yet managed to depose current social inequalities. Therefore, motherhood plays an important role when making decisions regarding female employability.Show less

Este intervalo temporal coincide, por un lado, con el principio de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet y, por el otro, con el estallido social de octubre del año pasado que perturbó un país que, hasta unas semanas antes, se solía definir como ""un oasis de paz"" en un continente inquieto como América Latina. Para ello, se analizan factores como un sector manufacturero debilitado y la relación de fuerzas entre grandes conglomerados industriales y PYMEs. Asimismo, se considera la excesiva dependencia de Chile de las exportaciones de recursos naturales - sobre todo cobre - y otras mercancías con muy poco valor añadido a la luz de su elaborado marco de tratados de libre comercio: a tal propósito, se observa como se decidió privilegiar la explotación de las ventajas comparativas del país y la influencia del sector exportador sobre estas políticas. Lo anterior significó que un amplio y duradero desarrollo económico se fue debilitando y que Chile nunca ingresó la liga de los países completamente industrializados. Para esta tesis, se llevó a cabo un trabajo de campo en Santiago de Chile entre noviembre 2019 y febrero 2020. // ENG: Two variables - the neoliberal economic model and Chile's international political relations - move this investigation around the country's foreign trade policies between 1973 and 2019. Provided time interval coincides, on the one hand, with the beginning of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship and, on the other, with the outbreak of large-scale social protests which, in October last year, shook a country defined, until a few weeks earlier, as ""an oasis of peace"" in the eventful Latin America. Factors such as a weakened manufacturing sector, and the unbalanced relationship between large industrial groups (conglomerados) and local SMEs are addressed. Moreover, the flattening of economic development on exports of raw materials - copper in particular - and other products with no particular relevant added value is seen in the light of the establishment of a massive network of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements whose main aims have been exploiting Chile's comparative advantages and pleasing outward-looking economic sectors. As a result, a large-scale and long-term economic progress was undermined making the country unable to join the league of those fully developed. For such thesis, a fieldwork research was conducted in Santiago de Chile between November 2019 and February 2020.Show less

The roles of states of both Venezuela as the emigrant state and Colombia as the receiving state will be analyzed by viewing the policies put in place by both states. Concepts such as transnationalism, border cities and labor markets will be used to explain the migration networks that are created in between Colombia and Venezuela and assess how Venezuelans who are forced out of their country are received in a neighboring country such as Colombia. This investigation will also show how the policies and initiatives set forth by Colombia have eased the arrival of Venezuelans, but also point out how job integration into the formal sector has not been possible with the deepening of the crisis. This investigation's findings will be supported by the fieldwork carried out in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia through the gathering of information through personal interviews, government archives and non-governmental data.Show less
