Abstract (English): This article shows the results of the study "Virtual Office of 10,000 sustainable peasant farms from the regions of Santander and Magdalena Medio". The study is framed in a Colombian social movement for the preservation of the peasant farm as pivotal axis for food sustainability in the territories. The study has a principal aim to identify the organization process of fourteen (14) food communities and the participatory design of the peasant farm model as strategies for food security in the Colombian territories of Magdalena Medio and Santander. The study conducted a mixed methodology with both qualitative and descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative analysis with data collected from participant communities. Data collection was done through focus groups with seven (7) communities and fourteen (14) interviews with food community leaders from eleven (11) municipalities in three different Colombian departments. Results show that the peasant organization structure called food community and the peasant farm participatory models for each territory are strategies that have led to the strengthening of the local autonomy of the peasant communities for the defense of food sustainability practices within their contexts.

Abstract (English): This article explores the evolution of the environmental conflict in Canary Islands between 1969 and 1992, through an analysis based on a new and wide database of environmental protest events. The analysis allows to distinguish the characteristics of this protest through four groups of variables: a) volume, cycles and thematic profile; b) levels of mobilization and fields of the demands; c) repertoires and intensity of the protest; and d) actors and mobilization potential. The relationship between the data and contextual factors, mainly of a political nature, allows to identify the particularities that define the Canarian environmental contention and its interrelation with the evolution and impact of the Canarian environmental movement in that period. Likewise, the work shows how the methodology of protest events analysis can contribute to reinforce historical research on social movements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: The article explores the growing trend of political repression and the criminalization of dissent and collective action in the United States. It highlights specific cases where protesters have been arrested and charged with serious crimes, such as domestic terrorism and racketeering. The article also discusses the increase in legislation across states that impose harsher penalties for protest-related offenses and restrict the right to protest. These measures have had a chilling effect on political speech and have changed the way activists organize. The article concludes by mentioning attempts to pass new laws that could undermine support networks for social movements. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: Despite the abundant literature on the need for grassroots food system reform, the process for achieving such reform is less understood from the perspective of multi-scalar coalition building. Using semi-structured interviews with civic food coalition leaders in Australia, our paper examines the strengths and struggles associated with collectivising, collaborating, and planning that civic food coalitions experience as they aim to drive wider transformations in food systems. Findings indicate a need to pay heightened attention during the early stages of coalition formation, as this is when coalitions form a sustainable structure as they begin to scale up. In addition to gaining a better understanding of these internal dynamics, we argue that civic food coalitions can be one pathway to transform the food system, as they serve as an important catalyst to bring food-related issues (such as social and environmental justice) to the forefront in building alliances and collective action across communities.

مستخلص: The pedagogical realm expands and goes beyond the four walls of a classroom. It becomes omnipresent. However, there are spheres where it displays overtly its political character such as in the functioning of political organisations. In these organisations the relationship of the leader and cadre or the institutional form of politics and the masses that it seeks to include is constituted through a prolonged pedagogical process. This process is defined through a relationship that revolves around exclusion, inclusion and framing of an institutional structure visà- vis the masses. Rosa Luxemburg and Paulo Freire in their own ways reflected on these relationships either directly or their writings can be read to understand the making of political pedagogy in South Asian context, more specifically India.

مصطلحات جغرافية: SOUTH Africa

مستخلص: In recent decades, especially at the turn of the millennium, several countries considered as mature democracies are now exhibiting trends and patterns of democratic recession, democratic backsliding and democratic apostacy as many of them are experiencing legitimacy erosion as manifested through frequent public delivery protests organized by cross-sector social movements and general dissatisfaction with the quality and nature of service delivery. In South Africa, between 2004 and 2019, there were a total of over 3 000 service delivery protests organised by several social movements, with the country experiencing 2 455 service delivery protests just between July and September 2022 alone. This calls for an interrogation of the problems of service delivery protests in the midst of democratic consolidation. This paper therefore sought to examine the intricacies presented by problems of service delivery protest organised by various social movements within the contexts of states experiencing democratic consolidation. Specifically, the paper analysed the impact and implications of these social movements-organised service delivery protests on the progression of democratic consolidation. Methodologically, secondary data sources are used for analysis, with the concept of democratic consolidation providing conceptual lenses for analysis. Findings are critical in adding fresh perspectives and insights into the conversations on service delivery and democratic consolidation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Key Takeaways: Environmental justice is a significant community and social movement that continues to evolve. As "anchor infrastructure," water utilities are in a good position to meet this movement, using their relationships within their communities and experience with navigating complex issues. New funding sources and "environmental big data" are opportunities for water utilities to improve their infrastructure and better protect public health in underserved communities.

مستخلص: We conducted a socio-historical study covering the period 1979-2014 to explore the genesis of LGBT health policy in Bahia, Brazil, drawing on Pinell’s theoretical framework for the sociological analysis of public policy. To analyze the social space, we investigated the trajectories of the agents involved in policy formulation and the relations between these agents and the national social space and field of State power. The agents were predominantly from the scientific, human rights, sexual rights, feminism and AIDS fields, and had a high level of bureaucratic and militant capital, meaning they were well-versed in LGBT health issues. The historical conditions of possibility underlying the formulation of LGBT health policy included the formalization of the State Technical Committee on LGBT Health in 2014, in an effort to improve access to comprehensive health care for vulnerable groups; and the Bahia without Homophobia plan, which helped expand dialogue around with civil society and social movements and address the main criticisms of policy making.

مستخلص: This Article employs the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and litigation in its wake as the jumping off point to reconsider the connections between judges, the Constitution, and social movements. That movements influence constitutional law, and that judicial pronouncements in turn are reshaped by politics, is well-established. But, while these accounts of legal change depend upon judges to embrace movement ideas, less has been written about the conditions under which judicial entrenchment can be expected to take place. There may, in fact, be different types of judicial dispositions towards external political phenomena. In this Article, we focus on one type of judge ascendant in the current constitutional moment: the movement jurist. Although movement judges are not new, they are more visible and influential today than in recent years. In fact, identifying this kind of figure -- who is already shaped by movement beliefs or shares social experiences making such a person open to nonestablishment constitutional perspectives -- has emerged as a potent supplement to older methods of entrenching mobilized legal knowledge and political beliefs. By peering behind the Dobbs decision and offering fresh context, we present a new set of analytical terminology for understanding the touchpoints between law, institutions, and politics. Along the way, we offer a corrective to what are often uncritical calls for more movement jurists. Judging involves its own institutional imperatives and purposes, many of which are at odds with social activism. There are reasons why we might want judges under certain circumstances to pay attention to movements, and we discuss what some of those institution-enhancing and constitutioninterpreting reasons might be. But there are risks as well. Movement judges need not be committed to any particular vision of justice or democracy or even interpretive methodology -- as Dobbs plainly shows, it is more accurate to identify movement judges by their constitutional politics and social networks rather than by party affiliation. We describe the characteristics of movement judges so their legal output can be evaluated with this crucial context in mind. Adopting a historical and institutional perspective, we point to some benefits that can come from having the occasional movement figure join the judiciary. But we also offer some words of caution about corresponding tradeoffs when too many movement figures appear within a single organization like the Supreme Court. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
