He is author of four books and 30 publications and is a security sector advisor for the United Nations and Inter-American Development Bank. He has received fellowships from the Woodrow Wilson Center and the Ford, Tinker, and Henkel Foundations. This book is the most updated and comprehensive look at efforts to protect the Amazon, home to half of the world's remaining tropical forests. In the past five years, the Basin's countries have become the cutting edge of environmental enforcement through formation of constitutional protections, military operations, stringent laws, police forces, judicial procedures and societal efforts that together break through barriers that have long restrained decisive action. Even such advances, though, struggle to curb devastation by oil extraction, mining, logging, dams, pollution, and other forms of ecocide. In every country, environmental protection is crippled by politics, bureaucracy, unclear laws, untrained officials, small budgets, regional rivalries, inter-ministerial competition, collusion with criminals, and the global demand for oils and minerals. Countries are better at creating environmental agencies, that is, than making sure that they work. This book explains why, with country studies written by those on the front lines-from national enforcement directors to biologists and activists. . 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aComparative government 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aEnvironmental Law 606 $aInternational Environmental Law 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aRegionalism 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law. 615 24$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 676 $aELECTRONIC BOOK 701 $aUngar$b Mark$01088344 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300490503321 996 $aThe 21st century fight for the Amazon$93419916 997 $aUNINA
