"Mainstreaming inclusive violence prevention in the agenda of multilateral development banks : the case of the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean."

Abstract:
Mainstreaming inclusive violence prevention is a policy option that has been under-studied. As a strategy, mainstreaming responds to the transversal nature of violence both in its multi-dimensionality and multi-causality, and ultimately highlights violence’s intrinsic links to development. It also acknowledges the strong gender dimensions at play in the manifestation and reproduction of violence. Building upon this understanding and developing a framework for it, this research examines opportunities and constraints for mainstreaming inclusive violence prevention in the agendas of Multilateral

Abstract:
This thesis studies the development of bilateral relations in two pairs of states (dyads); Argentina-Brazil and Argentina-Chile. It takes on a moderate constructivist approach that incorporates into the analysis of international relations the role of identities, ideas and perceptions as well as of material forces, and understands that the former are affected and change during interaction. It also resorts to securitization theory to explain how issues come or cease to be considered security matters through social construction. Using this framework, the thesis analyses how states within the dyad

Abstract:
Against the backdrop of steadily increasing global raw material demand, the socio-economic implications of metal ore extraction in developing countries are of major interest in academic and policy debates. This work investigates whether mining activities relate to the economic performance of mining regions and their surrounding areas. Usually, subnational impact assessments of mining activities are conducted in the form of qualitative in-field case studies and focus on a smaller sample of mining properties and regions. In contrast, we exploit a panel of 32 Mexican, 24 Peruvian and 16 Chilean r

Abstract:
For many of Latin America’s small farmers, a future in agriculture may be short lived. Due to increasing mechanization, land consolidation, and globalization, the demand for agricultural labor is declining, and small landowners are feeling the brunt of this change. Given this reality, the non-farm rural economy should become a much greater priority on the rural development agenda. Many non-farm positions demonstrate significant potential for poverty alleviation, but these jobs often present substantial barriers to entry. In order for smallholders to access these positions rather than low-skill

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>Criada em 1948 no seio das Nações Unidas, a CEPAL surgiu como parte do esforço de construção de novas instituições internacionais com o propósito de apoiar o desenvolvimento regional. Contrapondo-se ao ressurgimento das teorias clássicas sobre o comércio internacional - sobretudo o princípio ricardiano sobre as vantagens comparativas- a CEPAL apresentará a tese da deterioração dos termos de intercâmbio, denunciando as assimetrias da divisão internacional do trabalho, que tendia perpetuar o subdesenvolvimento da periferia e
