“…Implementing IE in industrial estates will turn them into industrial ecoparks, which are very common in developed countries (Vahidi et al 2016). Some studies have expressed industrial ecology as a win-win-win scenario in an economic-environmental-social trilateral relationship, and this could sure be a highlighted confirmation of the need for the presence of those concepts in industrial towns (Durán and Chichava 2017).…”

Today, attention to the issue of industrial ecology in the world has become very high and significant, but in Iran this attention does not exist and is only a slogan and preliminary studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate these conditions and provide a structure and model for the implementation of industrial ecology in Iran. Industrial estates are one of the major centers of producing energy and industrial waste in the country. Developing Industrial Ecology (IE) faces significant obstacles. This study evaluates the barriers due to a combination model, including the DPSIR and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). It prioritizes the responses and alternatives regarding the driving forces, pressures, states, and impacts (criteria). In this study, different responses for IE development in Iran were evaluated and prioritized based on different indicators classified based on DPSIR and FAHP techniques and models. The results suggest prioritizing future IE development in Iran based on current infrastructure and conditions. To compare the analysis of two fuzzy numbers, a new division method based on a comparative example is used; to confirm the proposed method, a comparative example is described and presented. According to the field studies and research background of the research, the number of "18 criteria" and "four responses" were suggested. Finally, improving IE legal is the first step of modifying the industries clustering system, establishing IE national database and industries training. According to the identified priorities, practical suggestions for the development of Iran's industrial environmental model within the framework of legal requirements, infrastructure and regulations that should be developed or updated, were presented and the duties of relevant legal agencies were identified and proposed.

“…Mozambique has been one of Brazil's largest recipients of foreign assistance, including technical cooperation, loans, and investment (Schlesinger, 2014;Wolford & Nehring, 2015). In 2009, Brazil became Mozambique's leading source of foreign direct investment (FDI), and by 2011, Brazil's development agency had allocated approximately US$ 32 million to Mozambique (Durán & Chichava, 2017;Nogueira et al, 2017;Schlesinger, 2014) (foreign assistance to Mozambique, however, did decline in 2014 as Brazil attended to its own political and economic crises) (Nogueira et al, 2017).…”

“…Mozambique's National Union of Peasants also publicly opposed the ProSAVANA project and, after learning that ProSAVANA was similar to the PROCEDER project, an Oxfam-funded civil society delegation from Mozambique and Brazil traveled to the Cerrado region of Brazil to survey the detrimental health and environmental impacts of PROCEDER. Upon returning to Mozambique, with a film crew documenting the trip, a domestic coalition authored an open letter demanding greater transparency, accountability, and respect for the autonomy of rural farmers (Aguiar & Pacheco, 2016;Durán & Chichava, 2017).…”

Activists in the global South have been navigating two powerful trends since the mid-1990s: intensifying state repression and rising investment in extractive projects from the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS). In this context, this article explores the underlying forces determining the formation, endurance, and power of BRICS–South transnational advocacy networks (TANs) opposed to BRICS-based corporate extraction in the global South. By analyzing activism against Chinese, Indian, and Brazilian extractive projects in Ecuador, Ethiopia, and Mozambique, respectively, the research reveals the critical importance of domestic politics and civil society characteristics in both the BRICS and host states for shaping BRICS–South TANs, including which groups assume leadership, the extent of cross-national cooperation, and the role of nonprofits headquartered in the global North. The findings uncover core reasons for the variable resiliency and capacity of BRICS–South TANs, opening up new avenues of research and offering valuable insights for activists and policymakers.

“…Igualmente las OSC del Sur podrían actuar como entidades que realizan el seguimiento y vigilancia de la CSS gubernamental, velando ade-más por su coherencia con otras políticas nacionales, intentando incidir en agendas de transparencia, sostenibilidad, igualdad de género, calidad democrática, etcétera. Al día de hoy, este papel es residual aunque hay experiencias aleccionadoras como la articulación de la Asociación Brasileña de ONG con la Vía Campesina y la Unión de Campesinos de Mozambique en la denuncia específica de proyectos de la cooperación oficial de Brasil y Japón en esquemas triangulares o en la labor formativa y de concienciación del Movimiento Sin Tierra (Observatorio Brasil e o Sul, 2016; Duran & Chichava, 2017;Shankland & Gonçalves, 2016;Bringel y Vieira, 2015).…”

Resumen: Aunque las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil han conquistado el lugar que merecen como agentes de la Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, al menos en la Cooperación Norte – Sur, queda un largo camino por recorrer en el reconocimiento que los gobiernos de los países en desarrollo todavía no les han otorgado en su participación en las dinámicas de la Cooperación Sur-Sur (CSS). Factores estructurales y coyunturales dificultan una integración real de las OSC en las tareas de la CSS. El caso latinoamericano ilustra el insuficiente nivel de participación social en la CSS de la región, si bien algunas experiencias relevantes muestran posibilidades de explorar mecanismos para aprovechar el caudal de conocimientos y planteamientos sobre el desarrollo que atesoran las OSC.
