Rústica. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Dos tipos de sangre corren por este libro: la estadística, del investigador Charles Kepner, y la experiencia, de Jay Henry Soothill, quien fuera superintendente y testigo de la empresa más poderosa de transporte y producción de fruta en Centroamérica durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Aunque el texto que aquí se presenta fue publicado originalmente en Nueva York en 1935, esta edición retoma la traducción realizada por la Imprenta Nacional de Cuba en 1961, a la que se ha añadido un prólogo de Juan Valdés Paz, reciente Premio Nacional de Ciencias Sociales de Cuba. Así, a medio camino entre la narrativa y el rigor académico, este libro expone, con datos vigentes, el desarrollo de la industria bananera en Centroamérica, de los exportadores y las navieras que competían por comprar a los productores locales. Además, describe el modo en el que las grandes compañías afianzaron el capital que les permitía ofrecer préstamos a los gobiernos necesitados a cambio de concesiones ventajosas. Por último, como en cauce progresivo, el lector tendrá todo el contexto histórico y social que explica el encumbramiento de la United Fruit Company, la firma con mayor injerencia política en el campo de la producción de fruta y el transporte ferroviario y náutico. Esta es la historia completa del primer trust en América Central. LIBRO.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 504 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Environmental and Human Security: Then and Now 1 2 ALAN D. HECHT AND P. H. LIOTTA * 1 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development 2 Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy Salve Regina University 1. Nontraditional Threats to Security The events of September 11, 2001 have sharpened the debate over the meaning of being secure. Before 9/11 there were warnings in all parts of the world that social and environmental changes were occurring. While there was prosperity in North America and Western Europe, there was also increasing recognition that local and global effects of ecosystem degradation posed a serious threat. Trekking from Cairo to Cape Town thirty years after living in Africa as a young teacher, for example, travel writer Paul Theroux concluded that development in sub-Saharan Africa had failed to improve the quality of life for 300 million people: "Africa is materially more decrepit than it was when I first knew it-hungrier, poorer, less educated, more pessimistic, more corrupt, and you can't tell the politicians from the witch-doctors" (2002). While scholars and historians will debate the causes of 9/11 for some time, one message is clear: An often dizzying array of nontraditional threats and complex vulnerabilities define security today. We must understand them, and deal with them, or suffer the consequences. Environmental security has always required att- tion to nontraditional threats linked closely with social and economic well-being.…
