    Carta abierta de los galardonados de Premio Ambiental Goldman a los gobiernos en la ocasión de la Cumbre de la Tierra 2012 Somos los recipientes del Premio Ambiental Goldman. Nos han amenazado. Nos han torturado. Nos han capturado. Hemos muerto por los tóxicos industriales en nuestra sangre. Nos han matado. Somos los recipientes del Premio Ambiental Goldman. Somos de 81 países. Somos activistas locales. Somos embajadores nacionales. Somos pueblos indígenas. Somos ministros del medioambiente. Somos mujeres. Somos hombres. Somos ancianos. Somos jóvenes. Por más de dos décadas el Premio Goldman nos ha honrado, por los grandes riesgos que hemos tomado para proteger el medioambiente. Ahora les pedimos a ustedes arriesgarse. Es su deber participar en la "Cumbre de la Tierra" en Rio de Janeiro y conducirnos a la acción en defensa de la biodiversidad. La Cumbre de la Tierra nos presenta una oportunidad profunda para fortalecer nuestro compromiso global por la protección del planeta, el cual fue reconocido hace 20 años en la histórica "Cumbre de la Tierra Río‐1992". Desde entonces, los pueblos del Mundo han preservado especies en peligro de extinción, conservado territorios frágiles, y desarrollado alternativas para algunos de nuestras practicas más destructivas. Repetidas veces las comunidades han ganado grandes batallas. Pero es la sociedad civil quien esta liderando las acciones de conservación, con gente como nosotros poniendo nuestras vidas y bienestar en peligro por el hecho de proteger el medioambiente. Ahora, urgentemente, les rogamos tomar el liderazgo para proteger el planeta que compartimos, para bien de las futuras generaciones, les impulsamos participar en la Cumbre de la Tierra para hacer compromisos serios hacia el desarrollo sustentable.

Abstract Immigration through Education: The Interwoven History of Korean International Students, US Foreign Assistance, and Korean Nation-State Building by Jane Jangeun Cho Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Kerwin Klein, Chair This dissertation identifies Korean international students as immigrants, as conduits of knowledge transfer, and as agents of change. Part of the American Cold War policy was to establish Korea’s higher educational institutions with a core group of US-educated people. Figuring prominently in this story is the US government’s use of foreign assistance as a diplomatic tool to build its influence abroad. The Korean government readily accepted the aid but imprinted its designs on the American blueprint to reflect its own goal of building a modern nation-state. American universities under contract with the US government assisted the redesign of key departments at Seoul National University (SNU) and the establishment of Korea Advanced Institute of Science (KAIS).

  • WOMEN, ENVIRONMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY: CHALLENGES for BANGLADESH Farzana Nasrin Public Administration Department, Chittagong University, BANGLADESH
    ISSN: 2186-8492, ISSN: 2186-8484 Print ASIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Vol. 1. No. 3. August 2012 WOMEN, ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY: CHALLENGES FOR BANGLADESH Farzana Nasrin Public Administration Department, Chittagong University, BANGLADESH. ABSTRACT The women’s issues in Bangladesh are considered to be a chronic problem of patriarchal society. Despite several positive policies and programs undertaken by the government and NGOs recently, the position of women in the society did not improve to a satisfactory level. Now, the relationship between women and the environment has become more explicit and apparent. As such, the article seeks to provide basic information related to women and environment and advocacy for environment and women in Bangladesh. Through an extensive review of literatures, this study attempts to shed light on the challenges of women with a view of exploring the linkages between women and environment and adverse impact that falls on women. It also emphasizes on environmental advocacy for women. The work is accomplished on the basis of secondary sources including – book reviews, newspapers, journals, research reports and other secondary materials. Implications of the past literature with regard to empower women as they interact with environmental and cultural elements. Keywords: Bangladesh, environment, patriarchal society, women INTRODUCTION Although half of the world's population is women, only ten percent of global income is spent on them and share less than one percent of global resources (Kholiquzzaman, 1986). They are the poorest of the poor. A recent study on poverty (Rahman et at., 1992) reveals that in Bangladesh, poverty is increasingly feminized. Violence against women is widespread.

PRINTERS SANJIVAN PRESS AND ASSOCIATES PATNA, INDIA APPRECIATION In the fall of 1953, I was invited to Nepal to confer with the Ministry of Education officials on educational problems and potentialities in this country. I was asked to survey existing conditions and recommend a plan for the development of a national system of education. I countered the invitation with an offer to act as educa‐ tional advisor to a high‐level national education planning commission if such were appointed. I felt that such an assignment was a task for the leaders of Nepal, not for a foreigner. And the accomplishments of the Commission now stand as testimony to the soundness of this opinion. True, the members have made me feel that I am more a guest of Nepal than a foreigner; their hospitality, and that of all the Nepalese, has been over‐whelming.

  • Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology an Introduction
    Third Text, January, 2013 Vol. 27, Issue 1, 1–9, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09528822.2013.753187 Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology An Introduction TJ Demos This special issue of Third Text, dedicated to contemporary art and the politics of ecology, investigates the intersection of art criticism, politico-ecological theory, environmental activism and postcolonial glo- balization. The focus is on practices and discourses of eco-aesthetics that have emerged in recent years in geopolitical areas as diverse as the Arctic, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Europe and Mexico. The numer- ous contributors address new aesthetic strategies through which current ecological emergencies – including but not limited to the multifaceted crisis of climate change – have found resonance and creative response in artistic practice and more broadly in visual culture. Numerous key questions motivated our investigation: If ecological imperatives are frequently invoked by governments, corporations and certain strands of environmental activism in the name of a post-political ‘green’ consensus for which nothing less than the life of the planet is at stake, how might critical art contribute to an imagination of ecology that addresses social divisions related to race, class, gender and geography in the North and South alike? How might the concept of biopolitics, as Downloaded by [University of Montana] at 11:12 03 April 2015 elaborated by figures ranging from Bruno Latour to Vandana Shiva, enable a rethinking of hitherto articulated discourses of eco-aesthetics,
