Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Roitman logra varias aportaciones entre las que destacan: 1]la redefinición crítica del concepto de democracia a partir de la historia de su práctica, que como “praxis”, implica sus relaciones o la falta lamentable de relaciones con el famoso “mandar obedeciendo”; 2]el vínculo de la democracia con la gobernabilidad y con las transformaciones necesarias para la democracia, para hacer efectivos: el pluralismo, la seguridad, el control y las autonomías; 3] la del control y ejercicio del poder con valor ético; 4] la de las contradicciones inevitables, necesarias, sistémicas, entre democracia y capitalismo. 5] en vínculo consustancial entre democracia y socialismo con una aclaración política fundamental: ”sin participación y sin control político sobre la élite dirigente sin valores éticos, trastocados los valores del socialismo, se ponen las bases para el surgimiento de la corrupción, el favoritismo y las actitudes represivas que determinan la muerte del socialismo y la democracia”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finales de la década de los setenta se inicia la tercera ola de la democracia. América Latina rompió el ciclo político que entre 1945-1978 produjo frecuentes oscilaciones entre regímenes democráticos y autoritarios. Por primera vez algunos países experimentaron los procesos democráticos. A pesar de este hito histórico, aún persisten amenazas para la consolidación democrática. Los Estados deben enfrentar problemas de corrupción, erosión de los Estados de Derecho, altos niveles de impunidad, falta de transparencia en las acciones gubernamentales, así como altas tasas de desempleo, desigualdad, pobreza y violencia. Lo anterior se traduce en crecientes sentimientos anti-políticos y anti-democráticos en la región. La necesidad de generar políticas públicas en torno a la consolidación de la gobernabilidad democrática es una de las razones por las cuales FLACSO está desarrollando el proyecto "Gobernabilidad y convivencia democrática en América Latina" con el auspicio de la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID). Este libro se inserta en este proyecto y recoge los aportes de los Consejeros a Titulo Individual de la FLACSO. Los autores contribuyen con la generación de conocimiento sobre la gobernabilidad democrática desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, desde la política, la ciudadanía, la exclusión, la memoria y la demografía. [Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: Democratic Governability Politics, Citizenship, Exclusion, Memory and Demography The late 1970s saw the beginning of the third wave of democracy. Latin America broke the political cycle that from 1945-1978 produced frequent oscillations between democratic and authoritarian regimes. Some countries experienced democratic processes for the first time. Despite this historic milestone, threats to democratic consolidation still persist. States must confront problems of corruption, the erosion of the rule of law, high levels of impunity, a lack of transparency in government actions, and high levels of unemployment, inequality, poverty and violence. This translates into increasing anti-political and anti-democratic feeling in the region. The need to generate public policies centered around the consolidation of democratic governability is one of the reasons why FLACSO is developing the project entitled "Governability and Democratic Coexistence in Latin America and the Caribbean", sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). This book is part of that project and brings together the contributions of the Independent Advisors to FLACSO. The authors contribute towards the generation of knowledge on democratic governability in an interdisciplinary approach, from the perspectives of politics, citizenship, exclusion, memory and demography.

Download or read book The Rational Spirit in Modern Continuum Mechanics written by Chi-Sing Man and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-07-06 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919–2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will ?nd personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37 research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy. These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern continuum mechanics succinctly as “conceptual analysis, analysis not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning: logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.

Download or read book Medellín: environment urbanism society written by Michel Hermelin Arbaux and published by Universidad EAFIT. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

Download or read book Deep Mexico, Silent Mexico written by Claudio Lomnitz and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mexico, as elsewhere, the national space, that network of places where the people interact with state institutions, is constantly changing. How it does so, how it develops, is a historical process-a process that Claudio Lomnitz exposes and investigates in this book, which develops a distinct view of the cultural politics of nation building in Mexico. Lomnitz highlights the varied, evolving, and often conflicting efforts that have been made by Mexicans over the past two centuries to imagine, organize, represent, and know their country, its relations with the wider world, and its internal differences and inequalities. Firmly based on particulars and committed to the specificity of such thinking, this book also has broad implications for how a theoretically informed history can and should be done. An exploration of Mexican national space by way of an analysis of nationalism, the public sphere, and knowledge production, Deep Mexico, Silent Mexico brings an original perspective to the dynamics of national cultural production on the periphery. Its blending of theoretical innovation, historical inquiry, and critical engagement provides a new model for the writing of history and anthropology in contemporary Mexico and beyond.

Book excerpt: The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.

Download or read book Gore Capitalism written by Sayak Valencia and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today's hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism. “Death has become the most profitable business in existence.” —from Gore Capitalism Written by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity. In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most consistent and courageous—and unapologetic—liberal partisan in American journalism." —Michael Tomasky, New York Review of Books In this "clear, provocative" (Boston Globe) New York Times bestseller, Paul Krugman, today's most widely read economist, examines the past eighty years of American history, from the reforms that tamed the harsh inequality of the Gilded Age and the 1920s to the unraveling of that achievement and the reemergence of immense economic and political inequality since the 1970s. Seeking to understand both what happened to middle-class America and what it will take to achieve a "new New Deal," Krugman has created his finest book to date, a "stimulating manifesto" offering "a compelling historical defense of liberalism and a clarion call for Americans to retake control of their economic destiny" (Publishers Weekly). "As Democrats seek a rationale not merely for returning to power, but for fundamentally changing—or changing back—the relationship between America's government and its citizens, Mr. Krugman's arguments will prove vital in the months and years ahead." —Peter Beinart, New York Times
