This article explores the ways in which (a) Indigenous youth involved in an HIV intervention took up and reclaimed their cultures as a project of defining ‘self’, and (b) how Indigenous ‘culture’ can be used as a tool for resistance, HIV prevention and health promotion.

Rift Valley Institute PSRP Briefing Paper 14
This yearbook chapter discusses the link between international investment law and commercial pressures on the world’s natural resources. It argues that changes in legal frameworks are redefining control over natural resources, and facilitating transitions toward more commercialised land relations. As pressures on resources increase, many national laws undermine the rights of people impacted by investments. If not properly thought through, international treaties to protect foreign investment could compound shortcomings of local and national governance.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a new framework by reviewing these recent studies in three research fields: (1) German rural social history, (2) the history of German agricultural policy, and (3) the ecological aspects of the land consolidation program ('Flurbereinigung').
Urban physical public infrastructure is a frontline defense mechanism to manage and mitigate climate-related impacts.

Resumen: La instalación de un discurso de la "igualdad de género" en Chile y de nuevos referentes en torno a los significados de lo femenino y lo masculino desde la década de 1990, ha ido acompañada de un desplazamiento de la "cuestión de género" hacia un espectro de mujeres que no provienen del mundo feminista pero que, sin embargo, plantean demandas por condiciones más igualitarias respecto a los varones en los ámbitos en que se desenvuelven.
