This yearbook chapter discusses the link between international investment law and commercial pressures on the world’s natural resources. It argues that changes in legal frameworks are redefining control over natural resources, and facilitating transitions toward more commercialised land relations. As pressures on resources increase, many national laws undermine the rights of people impacted by investments. If not properly thought through, international treaties to protect foreign investment could compound shortcomings of local and national governance.

Juntas, las crisis alimentaria y financiera actuales dispararon un nuevo ciclo mundial de apropiación de tierras. Los gobiernos con “inseguridad alimentaria”, que dependen de importaciones para alimentar a su población, están arrebatando tierras agrícolas fuera de su país en las que pretenden producir alimentos propios. Las corporaciones alimentarias y los inversionistas privados, ávidos de ganancias en medio de la crisis financiera, ven la inversión en tierras agrícolas extranjeras como una importante y nueva fuente de lucro.

Economists who analyze household decisionmaking allocation have traditionally assumed that the household acts as a single unit. They assume that there exists one decisionmaker whose preferences form the basis of household welfare and that all household resources are effectively pooled. This approach is known as the “unitary model,” the “common preference model,” or the “joint family utility model,” depending on the study consulted.

La definición y puesta en práctica de políticas que tengan como su eje a la soberanía alimentaria, implica comprender adecuadamente las condiciones de existencia de las economías campesinas. Ya no se trata solamente de la redistribución de la tierra, sino de potencializar la multifuncionalidad de los productores rurales incluyendo el control de la biodiversidad paran mejorar sus modos de vida. No obstante, las propuestas sobre seguridad alimentaria predominan en los países del Norte y las agencias multilaterales.

El decrecimiento nos revela que para la ciencia económica el medio ecológico en el que se desarrolla el proceso económico no existe. La economía deja fuera de sus modelos a la biosfera. Esta ceguera explica que el “desarrollo” occidental haya sobrepasado desde finales de los años 80 las capacidades de carga de la tierra. No sólo para nosotros el planeta no existe, sino que vivimos como si tuviéramos varios a disposición.

2005 was a year of natural disasters.The impacts of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, Hurricanes Katrina and Stan, and the Pakistan earthquake prompted calls for better disaster prevention and preparedness systems. Nature's power renders us impotent, but human actions and omissions are clearly worsening the impacts of disasters in some cases.This is where risk reducing measures must lock in, as the last fifteen years of international disaster risk management show.
