    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.

    Italy, Panama

    Case studies of social-ecological landscapes that consider local, spatially explicit land cover changes are necessary for the development of generalised knowledge on deforestation. This study focussed on two indigenous territories of eastern Panama that share the same settlement history, size and location but are perceived by local dwellers to differ in terms of land cover.

    Tanzania

    The Legal Guide was created to share information on Tanzania’s system for regulating seeds and other inputs, including areas such as variety release and registration, seed certification, and trade, and to identify key decision points and challenges that could unlock further development in the seed sector and implementation of existing frameworks. The Legal Guide itself will be part of a larger process of consultation and discussion, with key decision points followed by recommendations and a roadmap for strengthening the regulatory system for seeds and other inputs.

    Global

    Poorly developed countries with weak institutions often face severe commitment problems. International investors are reluctant to invest in these countries because their property rights are insufficiently protected. We argue that in order to overcome the commitment problem countries may subject investors' rights protection to independent investment tribunals. These tribunals are known to strictly support property rights protection and to be reluctant to honor human rights considerations, although they might be applicable.
