Book Synopsis The Impact of Globalization on Argentina and Chile by : Geoffrey Jones
Download or read book The Impact of Globalization on Argentina and Chile written by Geoffrey Jones and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first global economy of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Argentina became one of the richest countries on earth, while Chile was an economic backwater. During the contemporary era of globalization, liberalization and institutional reforms in Chile provided a context in which business grew, while in Argentina, institutional dysfunction made productive business hard to sustain. This book explores the complex relationships between corporate behavior, institutions and economic growth through the contrasting experiences of Argentina and Chile. In nine chapters written by prominent business historians, the work addresses the role of business in these two eras of globalization, examining the impact of multinationals, the formation of business groups, and relations between business and governments. It places the regional experience within the context of the worldwide history of globalization.

Book Synopsis Migration Citizenship Labour by : Lara Jüssen
Download or read book Migration Citizenship Labour written by Lara Jüssen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lara Jüssen takes the case of Latin American household and construction workers in Madrid to show how ir/regular labour migrants make citizenship available for themselves through emplacements, embodiments and enactments of citizenship. After describing the sociopolitical context of crisis and resistance in Spain, citizenship is anthropologized in order to approach it through the workplace: the private household and the construction site. Based on empirical results from interviews, it is analyzed how citizenship is emplaced through ego-centered networks and assemblages that situate the migrants’ social belonging; how it is embodied through carving out of identities of the migrant workers, intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, and class, affects that imprint workers’ bodies, and experiences of violence at the workplace; then citizenships’ enactment is scrutinized through workers’ empowerment for rights, individually at the workplace and collectively through demonstrations and political theater performance in urban public space.
Book Synopsis Gender, Remittances and Development by : Mar García Domínguez
Download or read book Gender, Remittances and Development written by Mar García Domínguez and published by UN/INSTRAW. This book was released on 2006 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examines the development impact of remittances, with a focus on the gender dimension. It considers the case of migration from Vicente Noble, a rural community in the south-west of the Dominican Republic, to Spain. This area was chosen as it gave rise to the first migratory flows to Spain, predominantly female-led, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households. It looks at the theoretical context to the study including the feminisation of migration; the historical context of Dominican migration; the migration process including the creation of transnational households and female migratory networks; the sending, receipt, use and management of remittances and changes in gender roles brought about by ths; the sending and receipt of collective remittances and the extent to which these support local development initiatives.

Book Synopsis Identidad, diferencia y ciudadanía en el cine transnacional contemporáneo by : José Luis Fecé
Download or read book Identidad, diferencia y ciudadanía en el cine transnacional contemporáneo written by José Luis Fecé and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos años la expresión “cine transnacional” se viene utilizando como sinónimo de “cine contemporáneo” puesto que las actuales condiciones de producción, distribución y consumo cinematográficos conducen a unas transformaciones, también estéticas, que difícilmente pueden explicarse desde las culturas y políticas nacionales. La imposibilidad o, como mínimo, la dificultad de asignar una nacionalidad única o mayoritaria constituye una de las principales características del cine, y de la producción audiovisual, contemporáneos. Los textos incluidos en esta edición se ocupan de estas transformaciones a través de ejemplos relacionados con espacios geopolíticos (los países que componen Mercosur); la recepción y el consumo de producciones audiovisuales latinas en Estados Unidos o con el análisis de espacios ficcionales transnacionales: la ciudad global, la frontera y otros no lugares contemporáneos. Estos trabajos coinciden en una idea más general: el carácter transnacional del cine contemporáneo no es un asunto estrictamente cinematográfico, sino también político, pues tanto su realidad como su imaginario geopolítico afectan también al propio concepto de ciudadanía.

Book Synopsis Problems and Alternatives in the Modern Americas by : Pablo A. Baisotti
Download or read book Problems and Alternatives in the Modern Americas written by Pablo A. Baisotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores several notable themes related to political processes in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues in the continent from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. The collected essays focus on Latin American politics such as: political cycles, left-wing political parties, nationalism, progressivism, crime and resistance, violence, authoritarianism, and relationships with the United States, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, and Paraguay. The perspectives of the chapters presented an attempt to seek lines of continuity by highlighting traditional interpretations of new scenarios and refusing to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative. The fundamental objective of the volume is to provide a rational and critical political-historical explanation of Latin America since the early 20th century with the purpose, among others, of deepening understanding of the present.

Book Synopsis The Book of Yerba Mate by : Christine Folch
Download or read book The Book of Yerba Mate written by Christine Folch and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of South America’s most interesting beverage Brewed from the dried leaves and tender shoots of an evergreen tree native to South America, yerba mate gives its drinkers the jolt of liquid effervescence many of us get from coffee or tea. In Argentina, southern “gaúcho” Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, mate is the stimulating brew of choice, famously quaffed by the Argentine national football team en route to its 2022 FIFA World Cup victory. In The Book of Yerba Mate, Christine Folch offers a wide-ranging exploration of the world’s third-most popular naturally stimulating beverage. Folch discusses who drinks mate, and why, and whether this earthier caffeinated drink with its promise of a different buzz and a more authentic, spiritual connection to place can find a market niche beyond South America. Folch traces yerba mate’s odysseys across the globe, from South America to the Middle East and North America. She discovers that mate inspired the world’s first written tango, powered early Jesuit and German nationalist utopias, ignited one of modern history’s most devastating wars, and fueled Catholic conspiracies. And, Folch reports, mate is currently starring in puppet shows put on by Syrian dissidents. By tracing yerba mate production and consumption as they change over time and place, from precolonial Indigenous beginnings to the present, Folch unravels the processes of commodification and their countervailing forces to show how accidents of botany intersect with political economic systems and personal taste. The stories behind the caffeinated infusions we prefer, she finds, are nothing less than the story of how the modern world is put together.
Book Synopsis Inflation, Inequality, Nanotechnology, and Development by : M. Mustafa Erdoğdu
Download or read book Inflation, Inequality, Nanotechnology, and Development written by M. Mustafa Erdoğdu and published by IJOPEC PUBLICATION. This book was released on 2024-06-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High inflation, rising unemployment, and deteriorating inequalities are among the biggest problems facing the globe. Inflation and unemployment exert an upward influence on income inequality and reinforces social inequality. Given that ascending inflation disproportionately impacts individuals with limited financial means, the sharp increase in energy prices, which has also pushed up food prices during 2022-2023, has hit poorer households particularly hard. Inflationary pressures are gradually easing, but core inflation remains elevated and more stubborn than expected. Bitter and bloody wars in Ukraine since February 2022 and the Gaza Strip since October 2023 have cost many lives and devastated many others. The rising geopolitical tensions, and tighter monetary policy are likely to have negative effects on global trade and there is a high risk of rising unemployment and worsening inequalities both within and between countries. This edited book looks for solutions to the problems of inflation, employment, and inequality.
Book Synopsis Europe between Migrations, Decolonization and Integration (1945-1992) by : Giuliana Laschi
Download or read book Europe between Migrations, Decolonization and Integration (1945-1992) written by Giuliana Laschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses mobility and migrations as contributing phenomena in shaping contemporary Europe after 1945, in connection with decolonisation and the creation of the European Community. The disappearing of the colonial empires caused a large movement of people (former colonizers as well as formerly colonized people) from the extra-European countries to the "Old continent"; while the European integration project encouraged the movement of the citizens within the Community. The book retraces how, in both cases, migrations and mobility impacted the way national communities, as well as the European one, have been defining themselves and their real and imaginary boundaries.
Book Synopsis The Crime of Maldevelopment by : María Laura Böhm
Download or read book The Crime of Maldevelopment written by María Laura Böhm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the causal relationship between the deregulation of international economic interests and the forms of violence that prevail in a large part of the Global South. More specifically, this book tells the story of how transnational corporations benefitting from increasing deregulation of their international economic interests, account for severe harm, the unrelenting violation of human rights, and maldevelopment in Latin America. Dependent on the structural deficiencies of the Latin American region, this book tests the examples of the extractive industries and multinational expansionism and the link between deregulated economies at the international level and the damaging local effects that increase what is here called maldevelopment. Introducing the conceptual category of maldevelopment to criminology, the author makes recommendations for further research and outlines a network of possible mechanisms for its prevention and sanction - and for the work of reparation and construction towards the satisfaction of the needs of the victim or victimizable populations. This provocative and original text will be essential reading for those concerned with white collar crime and crimes of the powerful, and for researchers in criminology, sociology, law, political science, development studies and international political economy.
