UNC Home Geography Carolina Geography News: New book from Tom Whitmore, Cultivated Landscapes of Middle America on the Eve of Conquest December 20, 2001 Tom Whitmore , associate professor of geography at Carolina, and B.L. Turner II, have co-authored a new book from Oxford University Press: Cultivated Landscapes of Middle America on the Eve of Conquest The human-environment conditions in the Americas on the eve of the sixteenth-century European conquest have attracted growing interest in both academic and public circles. The new book is a comprehensive survey of pre-Colombian agriculture and culture in Middle America. It addresses the question of what lands were permanently occuppied; how they were used; and what were the environmental and social implications of this use. The answers to these questions are central to such wide-ranging themes as indigenous land rights, the conservation and preservation 'ethic' of these native people, and the global carbon cycle. The kind, scale, and location of land use is documented and mapped in detail. The book demonstrates the sophistication aof the agricultural landscapes and their local integration, but also investigates the omissions and land degradation of the native agriculturalists.

Reading List Assignments and Expectations ... Brad Jokisch Homepage Overview: This class is designed to learn more about Latin America by using geography and approaches taken by geographers. Most of the class will be thematic; we will discuss and apply themes such as bio-physical systems, human modification of the landscape, and cultural geography, to Latin America. During the latter half of the class we will examine the geographic dimensions of political and development-related issues in Latin America, such as neoliberalism, trade, and migration. Because of the complexity and diversity of Latin America and Geography as a discipline, we will only scratch the surface in ten weeks. Return to the top of the page Expectations: T he cl ass will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Everyone is required to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. We will watch a few videos that complement the readings. Participation is expected and encouraged. Graduate students will meet separately on several occasions during the quarter to discuss assigned readings. An extra-class session may be required for graduate student paper presentations, but it will occur at an agreed upon time. Exams: Writing assignments: Undergraduates will write one paper of approximately 8-10 pages (text); it is due no later than on Monday, November 18. Paper topics must be approved by me.

COLOMBIA There are few countries that can boast such a variety of natural and cultural resources as Colombia: white, sandy beaches, hills, snow-capped mountains, unending plains, jungle, exotic, and lush vegetation, archeological sites, modern cities and peaceful colonial-style villages which seem to be suspended in time. And then there are, of course, its people, warm and friendly. Welcome to Colombia!

As the traditional elites failed to address the demands made by the new groups, tension was generated. The growing urban electorate tended to favor those politicians who advocated social reforms. The Liberals were better able than the Conservatives to benefit from this development, especially during the first administration of Alfonso López Pumarejo (1934-38). The populist movement of the 1940s, represented by the progressive faction of the PL, attracted the most support, however, and represented a threat to the more conservative traditional elites. For the first time, nonelites had a voice with which to express their interests. Although a split in the PC over candidates for the 1930 presidential election aided in the ascension of the PL to power, both parties were divided into factions. The PC consisted of moderates (led by Mariano Ospina Pérez and known as

back to Columbia ratville times rat haus Index ... ASCII text formats) The following is reprinted from the page 1 article in the Witness for Peace Columbia: A Call to Witness These children are among the estimated 1.5 million people displaced by Colombia's war. In April 2000, Witness for Peace sent a fact-finding delegation to Columbia to assess the impact of past and future US aid and to begin to evaluate the feasibility of sending International Team volunteers and short-term delegations to the embattled country. This article is a product of that delegation. Based on its meetings and interviews, the fact-finding delegation recommended to the Board of Directors that WFP send International Team Volunteers and, eventually, a delegation to the country. In June, the board accepted these recommendations. WFP will send two International Team volunteers to Columbia in October and a first delegation of US citizens in January 2001. We are proud to be answering the call for solidarity that our fact-finding group heard in April. Please see the urgent call to witness from our Columbian partners on p.10 "This is my life. This is what I've chosen ... They can kill me, but it will be on the day that God decides I've accomplished what I was meant to do."

Democratic consolidation, Gobernability and Political Violence * Sergio Saline Canes Diversos studies of political cientistas, press articles and countless opinions of the political elite are the confirmation fáctica of the concern on the advance of the processes of democratic consolidation in our continent. Some topics as the degrees of corruption, the government linkings with the drug traffic, the military actor's pressure, of actors antisistémicos and of the social movements, they are taken to newspaper by the media like indicators that allow to analyze how these processes advance and to try to measure their gobernabilidad levels. At the same time, the academic debate has rotated around the determination of when a democracy is consolidated, since it is not enough that it has disappeared the imminent risk of a new military blow or the existence of movements antisistémicos, but rather it is present the problem of the conditions of stability of the democracy, where there is not a general law in this respect. This scenario has generated numerous definitions Gobernabilidad it has more than enough in the Political Sciences, but all directly related with the appearance or increase of crisis situations in the political systems. In the same way, many of these definitions point to generate indicators that mark the level of Gobernabilidad of a political system. From a perspective worried by the establishment of indicators that you/they mark the level of gobernabilidad of a political system, mainly the one linked to the existence of actors antisistémicos, I have taken two conceptualizations for the present article. The first one, of the Chilean politólogo Jorge Jaraquemada, points out that the gobernabilidad of the democracy points to the capacity of the institutions that you/they drive the state of administering the society to its position and of adopting consequent public decisions, in a mark of pluralistic competition in the political plane and with an autonomous and free civil society to develop the activities characteristic of the private environment.
