Colombia: Current and Future Political, Economic and Security Trends
Colombia: Current and Future Political, Economic and Security Trends By Stephen J. Randall, FRSC Fellow of the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute and Director, Institute for United States Policy Research Jillian Dowding, MA Assistant Director, Institute for United States Policy Research December 2006 Prepared for the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute 1600, 530 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 3S8 www.cdfai.org © Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute Introduction For some analysts Colombia is seen to be at a crossroads, with the capacity to move beyond more than thirty years of internal conflict and realize its potential, especially in the economic sector. This paper outlines the current political, economic and security situation in the country and explores some of the possible scenarios for the next five to ten year period.1 The authors suggest that it is critically important to examine the ways in which the political and strategic environment has evolved over the past decade in order to understand the current situation and predict where the country will likely move in the near future. Most analysts of Colombia concur that Colombia has not realized its economic potential in the past fifty years because of the internal conflict, a conflict that has its roots in both ideological differences as well as socio-economic inequalities, but which have been greatly exacerbated since the emergence of the narcotics industry in the 1970s. That internal conflict has defeated government after government in its effort to develop a broader vision of the role that Colombia could play in inter-American relations or economically to move into the developed world. -

The story of the year since the stance against the 2014 State of Civil Society Report was published has partly been one of a continuing series of attacks on civil concentration of society in the many countries where, when civil society asks difficult questions about power, the powerful seek to silence it. But is has also been a story of impressive and sustained civil society response, in a world that has power in the hands of become more turbulent and contested. a tiny, global, super- rich elite, and against As we show below, civil society faces challenges - of lack of space, under-resourcing and limited access to the attempts of many decision-makers. Civil society also needs continually to prove its connection with and relevance to citizens, political leaders and and it needs to demonstrate its ability to stay ahead of trends and innovate. When civil society groups do not corporate interests do these, they fail. But so often, we see civil society leading the response to crisis, taking on difficult issues, contributing to change, and winning arguments for social justice. to undermine human rights and This year in review section of the 2015 CIVICUS State of Civil Society Report is complemented by our report’s the value of people’s special thematic section on the resourcing for civil society, and the 27 guest contributions, from civil society participation. -

An Indian Summer: Corruption, Class, and the Lokpal Protests

The movement was, on its face, unusual: its figurehead, the 75-year- old Gandhian, Anna Hazare, was apparently rallying urban, middle-class professionals and youth in great numbers—a group otherwise notorious for its political apathy. The scale of the protests, of the scandals spurring them, and the intensity of media attention generated nothing short of a spectacle: the sense, if not the reality, of a united India Against Corruption. Against this background, we ask: what shared imagination of cor- ruption and political dysfunction, and what political ends are projected in the Lokpal protests? What are the class practices gathered under the ‘‘middle-class’’ rubric, and how do these characterize the unusual politics of summer 2011? Wholly permeated by routine habits of consumption, we argue that the Lokpal protests are fundamentally structured by the impulse to remake social relations in the image of products and ‘‘India’’ itself into a trusted brand. -

La longevidad media de T. vaporariorum en el cv. Chocho fue mayor a 19°C (22.6 d), intermedia a 22°C (17.5 d) y menor a 26°C (5.9 d). En el cv. ICA-Pijao la longevidad media fue de 35.5 d a 19°C. La fecundidad media total fue 8.6, 32.6 y 33.3 huevos por hembra a 19, 22 y 26°C, respectivamente en el cv. Chocho. La fecundidad en el cv ICA-Pijao fue mucho más alta, 127. 2 huevos por hembra, a 19°C, que la del cv. Chocho.

ESRS Ituango Hydroelectric Project
ESRS Ituango Hydroelectric Project 1. General Information on the Scope of the IIC's Environmental and Social Review Summary Empresas Públicas de Medellín E.S.P. (Public Enterprises of Medellin, hereafter "EPM" or the "Company") is classified under Colombian law as a public industrial and commercial company that provides water and sanitation utilities; provides a natural gas network; and generates, transmits, distributes and sells energy. In the hydropower sector, EPM is a previous customer of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDBG), with whom a relationship has been maintained since 1993 when operation CO0221 was approved to partially finance the PORCE II Hydroelectric Project. Subsequently, in 2005, operation CO-L1005 was approved to partially finance the PORCE III project. EPM, jointly with the Department of Antioquia, is developing the Ituango Hydroelectric Project (hereafter "Ituango", "IHP" or "the Project"), which is located in the northwest of the Department of Antioquia on the Cauca River, approximately 170 km from the city of Medellín. The Project will have an installed capacity of 2,400 MW, which will allow it to generate approximately 14,040 GWh per year. The Project's first phase, which includes the enabling of four turbines (to reach a capacity of 1,200 MW), is scheduled to be finalized in 2019. The second phase includes bringing the four remaining turbines into operation (to reach 2,400 MW), and will be finalized in 2022. EPM holds the concession for construction of the Project and to operate it for 50 years. The Project's total investment is estimated at approximately COP$11,400,000 million Colombian pesos (equivalent to USD$3.899 billion U.S.
