The Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics provides readers with insight into the central questions of development ethics, the main approaches to answering them, and areas for future research. Over the past seventy years, it has been argued and increasingly accepted that worthwhile development cannot be reduced to economic growth. Rather, a number of other goals must be realised: Enhancement of people's well-being Equitable sharing in benefits of development Empowerment to participate freely in development Environmental sustainability Promotion of human rights Promotion of cultural freedom, consistent with human rights Responsible conduct, including integrity over corruption Agreement that these are essential goals has also been accompanied by disagreements about how to conceptualize or apply them in different cases or contexts. Using these seven goals as an organizing principle, this handbook presents different approaches to achieving each one, drawing on academic literature, policy documents and practitioner experience. This international and multi-disciplinary handbook will be of great interest to development policy makers and program workers, students and scholars in development studies, public policy, international studies, applied ethics and other related disciplines.

This book, focused on the analysis of regional integration and dynamism in Latin American countries, takes a multidisciplinary approach to international business. It uses case studies of major industries to explore the impact of the Pacific Alliance.

The central aim of this publication is to consider the key elements of a modern, comprehensive, and effective legal framework for successful management of protected areas. They provide practical guidance for all those involved in developing, improving, or reviewing national legislation on protected areas, be they legal drafters and practitioners, protected area managers, interested NGOs, or scholars. These guidelines include fifteen case studies, eight dealing with the protected area legislation of individual countries and six cases dealing with specific sites providing fundamental solutions that stand the test of time.

Solo quiero referir a una opinión de Einstein, este magnífico matemático y hombre de bien. Se le preguntó por qué la mayoría de los estudiantes se les dificultaba el estudio de las matemáticas. Einstein se concretó a decir "La dificultad de las mentes juveniles para entender la matemática estriba en que no han sido suficientemente educadas en el sentimiento del ritmo" Ciertamente, las matemáticas, llevan un ritmo interior, el más profundo que sólo la visión del universo puede entregar a la mente y a la contemplación del intelecto. El arte ornamental siempre se ha proyectado hacia fuera, en cambio, el arte ornamental en la matemática, corresponde únicamente al campo interno del espíritu, a la región de los pensamientos en su más pura manifestación. Las matemáticas son un elemento vital en la vida del hombre, están relacionadas con su producción artística filosófica y en el transcurrir de los siglos pueden interpretarse como una manifestación pura y diáfana de ese ritmo que ha dominado a los pensamientos.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
