Der Abbau von mineralischen, fossilen oder agrarischen Ressourcen für den Export, der Extraktivismus, dominiert die Ökonomien Lateinamerikas. Dieser Entwicklungspfad ist jedoch zunehmend umstritten. Es mehren sich die Stimmen, die sozial und ökologisch gerechtere Alternativen fordern. In Perspectivas kommen sie zu Wort.

Perspectivas Lateinamerika: Kommen, Gehen, Bleiben, Weiterziehen

Wir möchten mit Perspectivas Nr. 3 den Blick auf den Umgang mit Migration in Lateinamerika lenken. Unsere Autorinnen und Autoren analysieren Ursachen und staatliche Politiken, zeigen auf, welche Auswirkungen das für Migrantinnen und Migranten hat, und berichten von Solidaritätsstrukturen, die praktische und politische Unterstützung leisten.

Gute Fahrt: Lateinamerika braucht eine Verkehrswende

80% der Bevölkerung in Lateinamerika leben in städtischen Gebieten, die ein hohes Maß an sozialer Ungleichheit und räumlicher Trennung aufweisen. In der vierten Ausgabe von Perspectivas beschreiben und analysieren lateinamerikanische Autorinnen und Autoren die verschiedenen Aspekte von Mobilität und die Herausforderungen einer Verkehrswende in Lateinamerika.
