Plotting the coloniality of conservation

Funding: NORFACE/Belmont Forum (ES/S007792/1).Contemporary and market-based conservation policies, constructed as rational, neutral and apolitical, are being pursued around the world in the aim of staving off multiple, unfolding and overlapping environmental crises. However, the substantial body of research that examines the dominance of neoliberal environmental policies has paid relatively little attention to how colonial legacies interact with these contemporary and market-based conservation policies enacted in the Global South. It is only recently that critical scholars have begun to demonstrate how colonial legacies interact with market-based conservation policies in ways that increase their risk of failure, deepen on-the-ground inequalities and cement global injustices. In this article, we take further this emerging body of work by showing how contemporary, market-based conservation initiatives extend the temporalities and geographies of colonialism, undergird long-standing hegemonies and perpetuate exploitative power relations in the governing of nature-society relations, particularly in the Global South. Reflecting on ethnographic insights from six different field sites across countries of the Global South, we argue that decolonization is an important and necessary step in confronting some of the major weaknesses of contemporary conservation and the wider socio-ecological crisis itself. We conclude by briefly outlining what decolonizing conservation might entail.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Music as a principle of inclusion

From an interdisciplinary perspective, the different discussions on the role and nature of music in human evolution and development are considered the core of a larger philosophical analysis of arts in education, as well as its impact on contexts of rehabilitation and inclusion in a global framework. This research compared Ecuador and Germany (NRW) in the field of early childhood education and care (ECEC), considering the question of music as a principle of inclusion at three main levels of qualitative analysis: policies, academics and practices. This comparative study considered the visions of policy-makers, scholars, parents and practitioners in the field of ECEC to represent their opinions about the question of music as a principle of inclusion and its relation to nature, evolution, function, development, caregiver-child interaction, rehabilitation, interculturality, inclusion, education for all and professional training. Research participants represented public, as well as, private and NGO’s sectors. Regarding the methods, qualitative research consisting on literature review, data analysis from documents, interviews and focus groups from these mentioned three main sources levels were made. Among the main results of the comparative study are, a great interest in discussing professional training issues; cultural and identity values that Ecuadorian participants referred as relevant, whereas German participants remarked the emotional scope features of music. Concluding elements are that an in-depth philosophical analysis of music as a principle of inclusion in ECEC allows educators, families and researchers, amidst other social and political actors to participate in the inclusion shift within the ECEC community, as for caregivers to bond through music-making while impacting on the quality of ECEC services and the development and positive interaction in childcare

Democracy and Domination in the Law of Workplace Cooperation: From Bureaucratic to Flexible Production

In May of 1993, President Clinton\u27s Commission for the Future of Worker-Management Relations began its investigation of whether a major overhaul of United States labor law is necessary to encourage high-performance workplaces and labor-management cooperation. Even if its recommendations, due in November 1994, do not yield immediate congressional fruit, the Commission\u27s work is likely to influence the study and politics of labor law reform for some time to come. The Commission is chaired by John Dunlop, the eminent labor-relations specialist and former Secretary of Labor. Its membership includes some of the nation\u27s foremost academic and political proponents of far-reaching labor law reform. The Commission\u27s Chief Counsel is Harvard Law School\u27s Paul Weiler, who, over the last decade, has built the most formidable edifice of comprehensive reform proposals within the legal academic community. The appointment of the Dunlop Commission registers several seismic changes in the topography of labor relations in recent decades. First, the percentage of private-sector employees in unionized workplaces has declined from nearly 37 percent in 1953 to less than 12 percent today. The resulting representation gap in workplace governance is a salient policy concern for philosophic proponents of industrial democracy and for economic supporters of those welfare-enhancing workplace arrangements that require collective action by employees. Concurrent with the fall of organized labor, the annual growth in labor productivity slowed from a median of three percent in the post-World War II boom years to little more than one percent since the late 1960s. This climacteric coincided with an intensification of global economic competition and volatility in product and capital markets. These years also saw the emergence, led by Japan, of lean production systems that seem to break with the hierarchical mass-production model at the core of United States industry. Many variants of the emergent organizations are based on principles of flexible collaboration and consultation between employees and managers within the firm and among fluid networks of firms. Their adaptability and delegation of discretion to frontline work teams give such high-performance firms and networks the potential for enhanced productivity, innovation, and employee learning. The United States\u27 regime of adversarial, bureaucratic labor relations seems to fly in the face of the high-performance principles of cooperation and trust. That regime not only imperils labor productivity and participation. Its discouragement of high-skill, high-discretion work processes, together with the fall of organized labor, has helped produce the most unequal distribution of incomes and job opportunities of any advanced industrial country
