In Search of an Ecological Constitution - Reformulating the Relationship between Society and Nature

Ezio Cordella Costa

Synopsis

One of the differentiating factors of our present is the increased environmental awareness. However, this has not yet been converted into social, economic and law systems that reveal the multiple challenges that are imposed on us. The destructive impulse of the dominant ideologies in the twentieth century maintains the hegemony of their spaces, barely trying to adapt itself into a new reality that surpasses them.

Meanwhile in 1972 we believed there was a marked environmental degradation, in 2022 we recognize that we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of the species, the earth temperature has already increased in more than one degree Celsius and a significant percent of the planet's sweet water is contaminated. If the Constitution that Chile is planning to write and set in force in the years to come, wants to capture the logic of our times, it is essential that it sets as something basic, the environmental conditions where the legal-political communities, constituted by the chileans communities, are going to develop.

This book explores the details of the "Ecological Constitution" concept, that refers to the provisions that have to be contained in a Constitution in a transversal way and that, setting the environmental protection as a central axis of the social organization, attempts to harmonize the social and nature activities.

The new Constitution of Chile won't change everything, but it can constitute a first fundamental base on that change. This book is an invitation to dream with that possibility and reflect on the different ways that the Constitution can take us in that direction. The systematic changes are urgent and we are in the position to begin with them.

The Sociology of Education - How...

Fred Grandsen

Education is more than just a means of acquiring knowledge; it is a fundamental institution that shapes societies, influences social structures, and reinforces cultural norms. From a sociological perspective, education is not only about individual development but also about the reproduction of societal values, the maintenance of social order, and the facilitation of social mobility. By analyzing education through a sociological lens, we can better understand its role in shaping human interactions, economic opportunities, and power dynamics within a society.
Sociologists view education as both a social institution and a socializing agent. It transmits knowledge, skills, and values that prepare individuals to participate in society. However, education is not a neutral entity. The way it is structured, the content it delivers, and the access it provides can reinforce existing inequalities or serve as a tool for social change. Theories within the sociology of education, such as functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism, offer different perspectives on how education operates in society.
Functionalists argue that education serves a critical role in maintaining social cohesion. It provides individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to the economy while also instilling shared values that create a sense of unity. From this perspective, schools function as meritocratic institutions, rewarding effort and ability regardless of social background. However, critics argue that this perspective overlooks the ways in which education can reproduce social inequalities.

Confronting Capitalism - How the...

Vivek Chibber

Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? 
 
 
 
Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.
