A transitory regime : water supply in Conakry, Guinea
No full textBoth consumers and the government benefited from reform of the water system in Conakry, Guinea, whose deterioration since independence had become critical by the mid-1980s. Less than 40 percent of Conakry's population had access to piped water - low even by regional standards - and service was intermittent, at best, for the few who had connections. The public agency in charge of the sector was inefficient, overstaffed, and virtually insolvent. In several ways, the reform introduced to the sector in 1989 under a World Bank-led project was remarkable. It showed that even in a weak institutional environment, where contracts are hard to enforce and political interference is common, private sector participation can improve sector performance. The authors discuss the mechanismsthat made progress possible and identify factors that inhibit the positive effects of reform. Water has become very expensive, the number of connections has increased very slowly, and conflicts have developed between SEEG (the private operator) and SONEG (the state agency). Among the underlying problems: a) The lack of strong, stable institutions. b) The lack of an independent agency capable of restraining arbitrary government action, regulating the private operator, and enforcing contractual arrangements. c) The lack of adequate conflict resolution mechanisms for contract disputes. d) Weak administrative capacity.Environmental Economics&Policies,Water and Industry,Water Conservation,Decentralization,Water Supply and Systems,Town Water Supply and Sanitation,Water and Industry,Water Supply and Sanitation Governance and Institutions,Environmental Economics&Policies,Water Conservation
Mursia (Pantelleria, TP)
No full textLe ultime campagne di scavo nell’abitato dell’età del Bronzo di Mursia hanno riguardato i settori B, C, E, F nella parte a monte del villaggio, con un particolare approfondimento nell’area a ridosso del muro difensivo, il cd. Muro alto. Nel Settore B è stato completato lo scavo dell’area meridionale della Capanna B13, una struttura a pianta ovale allungata orientata in senso NWSE, appartenente alla prima fase insediativa dell’abitato. La struttura, inizialmente progettata come ambiente unico, affine alla adiacente capanna B14, appare sin da un momento precoce ristrutturata in due distinti ambienti ovali seminterrati, allineati in senso N-S e accostati lungo il lato corto, denominati rispettivamente B13 Nord e B13 Sud (5,4 x 4,3 m, superficie interna: 12 m2). Nel settore E l’indagine stratigrafica attualmente riguarda l’ultima fase di occupazione dell’abitato, caratterizzato da strutture connesse ad attività domestiche di preparazione di cibo. Sono state individuate ed esplorate tre strutture a pianta ovale, di piccole dimensioni, il cui spazio interno è occupato da strutture ed indicatori relativi alla cottura degli alimenti. Tutte le capanne individuate sono interessate da un incendio che
chiude il ciclo insediativo e che ha permesso di ritrovare testimonianze ben
conservate del loro utilizzo, delle dinamiche dell’incendio e del successivo
crollo di parte delle pareti costituite da elementi lignei e intonaco in argilla. L’area indagata nel settore C ha permesso di mettere in evidenza il contatto tra area abitata e il lato interno del muro difensivo. A monte della capanna C1, indagata tra la fine degli anni’60 e l’inizio degli anni ’70 da Carlo Tozzi, la rimozione delle pietre di crollo del Muro Alto ha permesso di mettere in luce la stratigrafia originaria sviluppata con forti dislivelli associati ai piani d’uso delle capanne e/o di altre strutture connesse alla circolazione dell’area. Lungo il lato meridionale del muro difensivo, il cd. Muro Alto, un imponente intervento di rimozione delle pietre di crollo ha permesso di individuare un tratto di circa 10 metri di lunghezza del paramento interno. Il profilo del muro mostra una forte verticalità con pietre assemblate senza legante e senza una particolare cura nel predisporre la superficie a vista. L’aspetto non è tuttavia molto diverso dal paramento esterno, ben conservato sia nel lato est che nel lato sud della fortificazione, dove si rilevano diversi episodi di rifasci antichi
Rethinking Socio-Environmental Conflicts from an Eco-Governmentality in Friction
No full textEl presente artículo busca realizar un aporte al análisis de los conflictos socioambientales desde el enfoque teórico-metodológico de la ecología política latinoamericana, a partir de problematizar las conexiones globales-locales. Parte de entender que el espacio local y el global se nutren mutuamente y uno no puede comprenderse sin la existencia del otro. En este marco, retoma los planteamientos sobre la gubernamentalidad global formulado por Fraser (2003) y de la gubernamentalidad transnacional desarrollado por Ferguson y Gupta (2002), y los revisa a la luz del concepto de fricción (Tsing, 2005) y de lugar (Escobar, 2010). Se propone eliminar la asimetría entre lo global y lo local para repensar los conflictos latinoamericanos actuales a partir de una ecogubernamentalidad en fricción. Este enfoque permite dar cuenta de las múltiples relaciones de poder y desigualdad en que se inscriben estos conflictos, y de cómo estas relaciones operan a escala transnacional, nacional y local, configurando formas particulares de explotación, apropiación, distribución, regulación, activismo y resistencia, en donde las prácticas cotidianas producen políticas más allá de lo establecido y definido en los programas y modelos globales.This article seeks to make a contribution to the analysis of socio-environmental conflicts from the theoretical and methodological framework of political ecology, and calls into question the global-local connections. It is important to point out that the local and the global nourish each other, and, for this reason, none of them can be understood without the existence of its correlative. In this context, the article employs Nancy Fraser’s proposals of global governmentality (2003), Ferguson’s and Gupta’s (2002) concept of transnational governmentality, and analyses them with the aid of the concepts of friction (Tsing, 2005) and place (Escobar, 2010). The author presents a theoretical approach to address the socio-environmental conflicts and proposes to eliminate the asymmetry between the “global” and “local” in order to rethink the current conflicts in Latin America from an eco-governmentality in friction. This approach provides an account of multiple relations of power and inequality, and the manner in which they operate at a transnational, national and local level enabling particular ways of exploitation, appropriation, distribution, regulation, activism and resistance, whose daily practice produce policies beyond the ones established and defined by global programs and models.Fil: Trentini, Maria Florencia.

La palabra “diáspora” implica migración a distintos puntos geográficos, lo que conlleva la desintegración de las relaciones sociales originales y la construcción de otras, lo que ocasiona profundos cambios en el devenir de la gente que migra. Una característica clave de las diásporas que están ocurriendo en el fin del milenio es que se han organizado redes de comunicación, conexión y trabajo para que los migrantes se integren a la nueva estructura social que enfrentan con mayor facilidad
