Los últimos años de diálogos y acuerdos de paz han sido un reto para la construcción de democracia, país y perspectiva de una paz estable y duradera, donde la materialización de los derechos de los asociados sea el horizonte de actuacion estatal y social, a favor de los que menos pueden y tienen la capacidad de ser sujetos. Los aportes del Grupo de Investigacion en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales (GIDCA), presentados en este libro que lleva por titulo Derechos Ambientales, Conflictividad y Paz Ambiental, corresponden a la primera parte del Informe de Investigacion 2016-2017 (el libro que recoge la segunda parte es Estandar Ambiental y Derechos Ambientales en posacuerdos de paz: algunos estudios de caso). Estas contribuciones son relevantes, ya que abordan, desde una perspectiva teorica ambiental critica, las cuestiones juridico politicas relativas a la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria, asi como sus causas y consecuencias sobre ecosistemas y culturas, las cuales se han agudizado en las ultimas decadas de hegemonia del capitaloceno, el caos climatico y las afectaciones subsiguientes, resultado de las amenazas, el desconocimiento y los atentados a los derechos ambientales. En este ejercicio aun estan pendientes multiples tareas para lograr un cambio de paradigma desde enfoques ambientales criticos, y para llegar a una comprension amplia y un profundo debate sobre los diversos problemas y conflictos ambientales. La participacion ambiental debe irrigar las diferentes instancias estatales, sociales y comunitarias, donde los movimientos y redes por la defensa del ambiente, es decir, de sus ecosistemas y culturas, contribuyan a la pervivencia de la vida humana presente y futura y de otros seres sobre la Tierra. Una comprension integral y sistemica de los derechos, la politica, la sociedad, el Estado y la paz, desde el paradigma ambiental puede contribuir significativamente a ello.

Este libro presenta una visión crítica del uso de la póliza de seguros de cumplimiento, como una de las formas más difundidas de garantía de cumplimiento de contratos, particularmente en el ámbito de la contratacion estatal. A partir de dicho concepto de esta figura negocial en el campo de los seguros de daños, se analizan sus diferencias con la fianza primero y posteriormente con otros seguros afines: el seguro de credito y el de caucion: la manera de entender tradicionalmente en Colombia estas formas de seguro y las diferencias que hay respecto de paises como España y Francia. De tal modo, se hace un analisis critico de como opera la garantia en Colombia, las practicas, a juicio del autor, un tanto irregulares de utilizacion del contrato de seguro en la operacion corriente de la contratacion estatal, por la inveterada tendencia a confundir este negocio con la fianza sin serlo y sin que existan normas regulatorias usuales del seguro de daños.Esto en el marco de referencia de otros paises en los cuales no es posible que en su actividad normal de las compañias de seguro se presenten este tipo de garantias y se implemente en consecuencia para ello un tipo diferente de empresas afianzadoras o una actividad complementaria para las aseguradoras, pero bajo condiciones diferentes a las corrientes del seguro.Esto en el marco de referencia de otros paises en los cuales no es posible que en su actividad normal de las compañias de seguro se presenten este tipo de garantias y se implemente en consecuencia para ello un tipo diferente de empresas afianzadoras o una actividad complementaria para las aseguradoras, pero bajo condiciones diferentes a las corrientes del seguro.
