Alianzas y conflictos en un territorio del agua: el caso de la subcuenca del río Santa Eulalia
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Centro de Investigación en Geografía Aplicada, 2020-06-21) Castro Salvador, Sofía
Participation is considered a key element for decentralization in water management and as a means for efficiency as well as for the reduction of territorial inequalities. In a water territory, we find diverse actors with diverse interests, demands and agendas in relation to water. This could lead to tensions for a resource that becomes more and more demanded due to the different uses (agricultural, urban, industrial, tourist) and in the different management instances (public, private and communal). This article attempts to show the power relations in a water territory, how local powers participate in water management, and how they coordinate among themselves and with other actors at various scales.These power relations show cooperation, alliances to be consolidate, but tensions also between the actors, conflicts between territories, struggles for territorialities and overlapping projects. This because of the limited coordination between local actors, since each one is dominated by their individual agendas and has interests at stake, which does not allow effective participation or consolidation of alliances. This is a real challenge for water governance and for the territory.

Desarrollo y medio ambiente. El rol de la bioética en un contexto de cambios ambientales globales
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012-11-15) Castro Salvador, Sofía
Development and environment. Bioethics role in a framework of global environmental changesThe article intends to demonstrate how the dominant development model drives the planet to environmental unsustainable limits. Since the 1950s the development model has been led by economic growth without considering other dimensions as social or environmental. Maddison (2005) explains both production and population have been significantly increased in the last century; however, at the same time regional blocs’ gaps have augmented, persisting poverty levels and malnutrition in some countries.However, production and consumption levels have risen triggering an energetic and environmental crisis. These levels have become unsustainable and are driven the world to catastrophic scenarios. In this context, bioethics rises to give people’s guidance concerning personal, social and naturebehavior. Anyway, behavior changes should happen in the shortest term since this will shape the future of the planet and humanity
