El Decreto expropiatorio de la Revolución cubana, también conocido como Ley No. 890, fue una legislación clave promulgada por el Gobierno Revolucionario de Cuba, bajo la presidencia de Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado. Este decreto fue una medida radical que buscaba reestructurar de manera significativa la economía cubana, poniendo en práctica los ideales y objetivos de la Revolución Cubana de 1959. Contexto El decreto se justifica en múltiples «Por cuanto», que delinean las razones y la necesidad de tomar acción tan drástica. Se argumenta que el desarrollo económico de la nación solo puede lograrse mediante una planificación económica adecuada, el aumento y la racionalización de la producción y, sobre todo, el control nacional de las industrias básicas. Además, se menciona que muchas grandes empresas privadas han estado actuando en contra de los intereses de la Revolución y del desarrollo económico de la nación. Aquí, estas empresas son acusadas de sabotear la capacidad productiva de Cuba, de invertir capital en el extranjero y de abandonar la administración directa de sus fábricas, entre otras cosas. Implicaciones económicas Este Decreto expropiatorio propone la nacionalización mediante expropiación forzosa de todas las empresas industriales y comerciales, así como de otros bienes relacionados. Esta nacionalización masiva se justifica como una necesidad imperante para transformar la economía y para disolver el poder económico de supuestos «intereses privilegiados» que conspiran contra el pueblo y la Revolución. Política de comercio exterior Otro aspecto crucial mencionado en el decreto es la transformación del comercio exterior de Cuba. Se argumenta que el control nacional de las importaciones es esencial y que la existencia de grandes empresas importadoras que operan por el simple estímulo del beneficio personal es un obstáculo para la nueva política de comercio exterior. Legalidad El decreto se ampara en el Artículo 24 de la Ley Fundamental de la República, promulgada, poco antes, el 7 de febrero de 1959, para llevar a cabo la expropiación forzosa de estas empresas. Decreto expropiatorio de la Revolución Cubana La Ley No. 890 fue un hito en la historia de la Revolución Cubana, marcando un cambio profundo y controvertido en la estructura económica del país. Buscó desmantelar el poder económico de ciertos sectores, y sometar a las fuerzas económicas del país a los ideales y objetivos de la Revolución. Esta ley también llevó a tensiones y conflictos con países extranjeros y empresas multinacionales que se vieron afectadas por la nacionalización, contribuyendo a la compleja relación entre Cuba y el resto y los Estados Unidos de América en los años posteriores.

This first English translation makes avail­able to English-speaking readers a power­ful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by build­ing it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feed­ing on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.

Do environmental problems and processes produce violence? Current U.S. policy about environmental conflict and scholarly work on environmental security assume direct causal links between population growth, resource scarcity, and violence. This belief, a staple of governmental decision-making during both Clinton administrations and widely held in the environmental security field, depends on particular assumptions about the nature of the state, the role of population growth, and the causes of environmental degradation.The conventional understanding of environmental security, and its assumptions about the relation between violence and the environment, are challenged and refuted in Violent Environments. Chapters by geographers, historians, anthropologists, and sociologists include accounts of ethnic war in Indonesia, petro-violence in Nigeria and Ecuador, wildlife conservation in Tanzania, and "friendly fire" at Russia's nuclear weapons sites. Violent Environments portrays violence as a site-specific phenomenon rooted in local histories and societies, yet connected to larger processes of material transformation and power relations. The authors argue that specific resource environments, including tropical forests and oil reserves, and environmental processes (such as deforestation, conservation, or resource abundance) are constituted by and in part constitute the political economy of access to and control over resources. Violent Environments demands new approaches to an international set of complex problems, powerfully arguing for deeper, more ethnographically informed analyses of the circumstances and processes that cause violence.

Every day millions of people around the world spend their hard-earned income improving houses they do not officially own or legally occupy. The vast majority are poor householders in urban areas of the South, where, in some cities, more than half the population lives in various types of unauthorized housing. As land in urban areas becomes more expensive and globalization accelerates the commercialization of urban land markets, people are forced to occupy unused government land, or purchase agricultural land and build a house without permission - activities that urban authorities are often seeking to prevent. Land, Rights and Innovation examines the complex issues surrounding land tenure, and the challenges they present for urban planners in the South and in the transition economies of Eastern Europe. Based on extensive research, the book brings together a diverse range of examples from 17 countries where the authorities, non-governmental organizations or communities have evolved practical, innovative approaches to providing tenure for the urban poor. These widen the choices available for residents, encourage local investment to reduce poverty and facilitate the development of more equitable and efficient urban land markets. The inclusion of a chapter examining the legal issues of security of tenure, as well as an introduction and a conclusion summarizing the way forward, makes this book of value to all those responsible for formulating and implementing urban land tenure policies in the rapidly changing and expanding cities in the South and transition economies.

"Violent Geographies is essential to understanding how the politics of fear, terror, and violence in being largely hidden geographically can only be exposed in like manner. The 'War on Terror' finally receives the coolly critical analysis its ritual invocation has long required." —John Agnew, Professor of Geography, UCLA "Urgent, passionate and deeply humane, Violent Geographies is uncomfortable but utterly compelling reading. An essential guide to a world splintered and wounded by fear and aggression—this is geography at its most politically engaged, historically sensitive, and intellectually brave." —Ben Highmore, University of Sussex "This is what a ‘public geography’ should be all about: acute analysis of momentous issues of our time in an accessible language. Gregory and Pred have assembled a peerless group of critical geographers whose essays alter conventional understandings of terror, violence, and fear. No mere gazetteer, Violent Geographies shows how place, space and landscape are central components of the real and imagined practices that constitute organised violence past and present. If you thought terror, violence, and fear were the professional preserve of security analysts and foreign affairs experts this book will force you to think again." —Noel Castree, School of Environment and Development, Manchester University "A studied, passionate and moving examination of the way in which the violent logics of the ‘War on Terror’ have so quickly shuttered and reorganized the spaces of this planet on its different scales. From the book emerges a critical new cartography that clearly charts an archipelago of a large multiplicity of ‘wild’ and ‘tamed’ places as well as ‘black holes’ within and between which we all struggle to live." —Eyal Weizman, Director, Goldsmiths College Centre for Research Architecture
