Luego de casi dos años desde el inicio de la pandemia del COVID-19, la pobreza continúa afectando de manera desproporcionada a los territorios rurales en los países de ingresos bajos y medios. Aproximadamente el 80% de las personas que viven por debajo de la línea de pobreza internacional de 1,9 dólares estadounidenses (en adelante, dólares) al día se encuentran en áreas rurales (Banco Mundial, 2020). De igual modo, la última actualización de las cifras del Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional Global (IPM) del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y la Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), publicada en octubre de 2021, muestra que a nivel global, el 84% de personas en situación de pobreza multidimensional no monetaria aguda viven en áreas rurales (PNUD y OPHI, 2021). América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) es una región que replica en gran medida este patrón de pobreza global. De acuerdo con las estimaciones de CEPAL (2018), la tasa de recuento de pobreza monetaria rural en esta región alcanzó el 48,6% en 2016. De forma similar, Clausen (2021) muestra, con datos previos a 2020, que la incidencia de pobreza multidimensional en el área rural era sistemáticamente mayor que en el área urbana en la mayoría de los países en ALC, independiente de si se utilizan datos del IPM Global (Alkire, Kanagaratnam y Suppa, 2020), del Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional para América Latina (IPM-AL) (Santos y Villatoro, 2018) o de los índices de pobreza multidimensional oficiales implementados por varios países de la región en el marco de los Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). La pandemia del COVID-19 se inició en un contexto que ya era muy poco favorable en lo que respecta a la erradicación de las diferentes formas de pobreza rural. Poco más de un año antes del inicio de la emergencia sanitaria, el “Panorama de la Pobreza Rural en América Latina y el Caribe” (FAO, 2018) ya advertía sobre el aumento de la pobreza monetaria rural en la región luego de un periodo de más de dos décadas de sostenida reducción. Asimismo, las estimaciones de Alkire, Kovesdi et al.et al. (2020) para ALC ya mostraban una menor velocidad de reducción de la pobreza multidimensional rural en 92 de los 123 países de la región incluidos en su muestra.

The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

This publication argues that Latin America and the Caribbean are in a position to move towards a "big push for sustainability" through a combination of economic, industrial, social and environmental policies capable of driving an equal and sustainable recovery and relaunching development in the region. Comprised of five chapters, the publication studies the three crises (slow growth, growing inequality and the environmental emergency) affecting economies and societies around the world, placing particular focus on those of Latin America and the Caribbean. It goes on to present a framework for analysing these crises in an integrated manner and measuring their magnitude in the specified regions. It then examines the quantitative impacts on growth, emissions, income distribution and the external sector under different policy scenarios, highlighting the potential of various policy combinations to forge a more dynamic growth path, with lower emissions and greater equality. Further identifying seven sectors that can drive sustainable development and proposing policies to foster these sectors, the publication concludes with an analysis that links up macroeconomic, industrial, social and environmental policies and the role of the State in building consensus for their implementation.

This book addresses the lifelong effects of racism, covering its social, psychological, family, community and health impacts. The studies brought together in this contributed volume discuss experiences of discrimination, prejudice and exclusion experienced by children, young people, adults, older adults and their families; the processes of socialization, emotional regulation and construction of ethnic-racial identities; and stress-producing events associated with racism. This volume intends to contribute to a growing international effort to develop an antiracist agenda in developmental psychology by showcasing studies developed mainly in Brazil, the country with the largest black population in the world outside of Africa. Racism as an ideology that structures social relations and attributes superiority to one race over the others have developed in different ways in different countries. As a response to the 2020 social and health crisis, some North American developmental psychologists have started promoting initiatives to openly challenge racism. This book intends to contribute to this movement by bringing together studies conducted mainly in Brazil, but also in Germany and Norway, that adopt a racially informed approach to different topics in developmental psychology. Racism and Human Development intends to be an inspiration to students, scholars and practitioners who are seeking tools and examples of studies of race and racism from a developmental perspective. The establishment of an antiracist agenda in developmental psychology will never be possible without a commitment to the study of race as an indispensable social marker of human ontogeny in any society. This book is another step towards racial equity and towards a developmental science that leaves no one behind.

An illuminating, indispensable analysis of a watershed moment and its possible aftermath. For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this naive alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences to reflect on the myriad ways SARS-CoV-2 has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.

Drawing upon the empirical scholarship and research expertise of contributors from all settled continents and from diverse life settings and economies, Viral Loads illustrates how the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, lay bare and load onto people’s lived realities in countries around the world. A crosscutting theme pertains to how social unevenness and gross economic disparities are shaping global and local responses to the pandemic, and illustrate the effects of both the virus and efforts to contain it in ways that amplify these inequalities. At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communities, neoliberalism and contemporary political economies, and the shifting nature of nation states and the role of government. Over half of the world’s population has been affected by restrictions of movement, with physical distancing requirements and self-isolation recommendations impacting profoundly on everyday life but also on the economy, resulting also, in turn, with dramatic shifts in the economy and in mass unemployment. By reflecting on how the pandemic has interrupted daily lives, state infrastructures and healthcare systems, the contributing authors in this volume mobilise anthropological theories and concepts to locate the pandemic in a highly connected and exceedingly unequal world. The book is ambitious in its scope – spanning the entire globe – and daring in its insistence that medical anthropology must be a part of the growing calls to build a new world.
