    Climate Obstruction and Foreign Policy in Comparative Perspective

The lead institutions are the GIGA and the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).

    Warum beansprucht Venezuela einen Teil von Guyana?

    Venezuelas Präsident Nicolás Maduro hat im April ein Gesetz erlassen, mit dem die Region Essequibo im Nachbarland Guyana zu einem venezolanischen Bundesstaat erklärt wird. Dahinter steckt vor allem politisches Kalkül, erklärt Jesus Renzullo vom GIGA in Hamburg.

    The Bulletin Podcast #16: The Venezuelan Migration

    Venezuela has been rocked by some of the worst crises in its history in recent years. These crises have sparked one of the largest migration crises of the 21st century. However, unlike other migrations, there is no one single event that the migration can be attributed to, making it a complex migration crisis to fully comprehend.

    Crisis climáticas, política y resistencia en el antropoceno

    Crisis climáticas, política y resistencia en el antropoceno, Weingarten, Weingarten-Ravensburg Organisation: Maria Sibylla Merian Center for Advanced Latin American Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Universität Bielefeld Jesus Renzullo (Diskutant:in)

    Wie kann das Verhältnis von Menschen und Natur neu gedacht und gelebt werden? In Lateinamerika finden sich viele Formen des Widerstandes, alternativer Ansätze und Analysen, welche unter Stichworten wie „Extraktivismus” oder „Rechte der Natur” laufen. Zentral ist dabei auch die Kritik am scheinbaren Universalismus und dem Weißsein des Anthropos. Die Tagung nimmt konkrete Auswirkungen, Praktiken und Formen des Widerstandes, aber auch Fragen von Geopolitik, epistemologischer Gewalt, Kolonialismus und Kapitalismus in den Blick, um Wege aus den derzeitigen Krisen zu finden.
    Tagung auf Spanisch in Zusammenarbeit mit CALAS Maria Sibylla Merian Center, Center for InterAmerican Studies, ADLAF und Universität Bielefeld.
