• Between 2015 and 2018, oil and gas export revenues declined by an average of 14% per year.
• Socioeconomic factors ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Algerian hirak.

Climate Change and Consumption Patterns in Latin America: The Urgency of a Structural Transformation
(2024-02)
• Climate change obstructs Latin America's development, affecting the economy, society, and the environment. A substantial investment is needed for the 2050-2070 deep decarbonization process.

The material basis of the establishment of corporate dominance through such solutions can be found in the emerging patterns of vertical and horizontal integration which are embedded within the macro ...
