Are Bolivia's Plans For Its Oil Sector Overly Ambitious?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor Jan 2012

Are Bolivia's Plans For Its Oil Sector Overly Ambitious?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

Bolivia's state-run energy company, YPFB, has said that it expects investment in the country's oil and gas sector to reach $2 billion in 2012, nearly doubling this year's record of $1.2 billion. While 64 percent will come from YPFB, the company expects the rest to come from the private sector. Is Bolivia's push to increase exploration, supply the domestic market and meet its contracts with Brazil and Argentina overly ambitious or does the state have the right plans in place? How important are hydrocarbons for the future of the Bolivian economy? What is the government doing right to promote private …

Will Petroperú Take On A Bigger Role In The Oil Sector?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor Jan 2012

Will Petroperú Take On A Bigger Role In The Oil Sector?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

In recent months, Peruvian state-run oil company Petroperú has made moves to resume oil production and form new partnerships and announced plans to sell as much as 20 percent of its shares on the Lima stock exchange in April to raise capital. The company has said that it aims to emulate Colombia's Ecopetrol and Brazil's Petrobras as it expands to ""increase energy security"" in Peru. Will Petroperú be successful in its bid to take on a more prominent role in Peru? Are its recently announced alliances with PDVSA and Petrobras a good idea? What will Petroperú's increased role in the …

Should Solar Power Be A Priority In Latin America?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

Global investment in renewable energies is expected to hit $7 trillion by 2030, according to a new report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with the deployment of solar power globally expected to undergo the second-fastest percentage growth of all renewable technologies (after offshore wind), more than doubling from today to 1,137GW by 2030. How do you expect Latin America's deployment of solar power will compare with other parts of the world in the two decades ahead? Where within the region are solar power's prospects brightest?

A Crucible Of Conflict: Third Generation Gang Studies Revisited, John P. Sullivan, Robert J. Bunker Jan 2012

A Crucible Of Conflict: Third Generation Gang Studies Revisited, John P. Sullivan, Robert J. Bunker

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

This essay briefly recounts the evolution of the gangs that occupy failed communities and states, further discusses and updates the model of third generation street gangs discussed in an earlier Journal of Gang Research article—typically described simply as third generation gangs (3 GEN Gangs), and suggests strategies for coping with and mitigating this evolved form of gang violence. Of note is the lack of impact 3 GEN Gangs studies have had on domestically focused U.S. academic gang research while, at the same time, becoming a dominant model in use by defense analysis and scholars focusing on increasingly politicized non-state threat …


The Social Dimensions Of Sustainability And Change In Diversified Farming Systems, Christopher M. Bacon, Christy Getz, Sibella Kraus, Maywa Montenegro, Kaelin Holland Jan 2012

The Social Dimensions Of Sustainability And Change In Diversified Farming Systems, Christopher M. Bacon, Christy Getz, Sibella Kraus, Maywa Montenegro, Kaelin Holland

Environmental Studies and Sciences

Agricultural systems are embedded in wider social-ecological processes that must be considered in any complete discussion of sustainable agriculture. Just as climatic profiles will influence the future viability of crops, institutions, i.e., governance agreements, rural household and community norms, local associations, markets, and agricultural ministries, to name but a few, create the conditions that foster sustainable food systems. Because discussions of agricultural sustainability often overlook the full range of social dimensions, we propose a dual focus on a broad set of criteria, i.e., human health, labor, democratic participation, resiliency, biological and cultural diversity, equity, and ethics, to assess social outcomes, …
