Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La seguridad es un tema central en la agenda de las Américas. Si bien es necesario reconocer la amplitud de la problemática que involucra temas como terrorismo, narcotráfico y en general el crimen organizado; la seguridad pública es un problema que atañe a todas las realidades de nuestra región y que se expresa cotidianamente en nuestras ciudades, barrios y hogares. El presente volumen ofrece un análisis acabado sobre políticas de seguridad pública y reforma policial en las Américas que seguro servirá a todos quienes se interesan en estas temáticas, ya sea desde un punto de vista académico o para el diseño de política pública. Aún más, este texto nos permite mirar de forma comparada las experiencias y desafíos que presenta la prevención y control de la criminalidad en las Américas. Confío en que podamos aplicar buenas prácticas comunes para el servicio de un continente que requiere tener mayor seguridad para su propio progreso" (José Miguel Insulza Salinas, Secretario General de la Organización de Estados Americanos). "Lucía Dammert, de la FLACSO Chile y John Bailey, de la Universidad de Georgetown, junto a un selecto grupo de criminólogos y criminólogas de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, México y Estados Unidos, elaboraron este libro que presenta un valioso análisis comparativo de la seguridad pública y las reformas policiales en las Américas. Los autores coinciden en que los problemas de la criminalidad, así como los problemas específicos de la criminalidad policial o de la ineficacia de la policía, no podrán resolverse sólo con reformas policiales, sino dentro de una visión sistémica más amplia, de todo el sistema de justicia penal, y más allá de éste que incluya la consolidación de democracias legítimas y estables que promuevan una distribución equitativa del bienestar. En este sentido, señalan la necesidad de establecer policías eficientes y eficaces, al mismo tiempo que transparentes, respetuosas de la ley y de los derechos fundamentales de las personas" (Elías Carranza, Director Instituto Latinoamericano de las Naciones Unidas para la Prevención del Delito y Tratamiento del Delincuente ILANUD.

This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Perspectives in Policing and Law Enforcement provides an exposition of policing and law enforcement practices, challenges, and opportunities in twenty different countries that were carefully selected to represent diverse geographic regions of the world. Each chapter presents policing from a different cultural background with diverse historical law enforcement experiences, varied social and demographic characteristics, and wide-ranging approaches to political leadership. By examining critical data and highlighting cracks within law enforcement across multiple countries, the contributors to this volume have created a framework of policing as it transitions into a modern outfit. Divided into parts, the book focuses on a large sample of countries from Africa, Europe, Asia, and Latin and Central America, North America and the Caribbean, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Such a broad coverage makes this book a critical reference point for those interested in criminal justice, criminology, political science, anthropology, and many others.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

Book excerpt: From the introduction: "There is a great deal to be learned from McCleary's work, and she raises serious questions not only about Guatemalan society but also about the democratization of societies in general. . . . We must be immensely grateful to her for providing us in clear and balanced terms with the first, and perhaps only, account and analysis of what happened during those critical days in May and June of 1993."--Richard N. Adams, Rapaport Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, Emeritus, University of Texas, Austin Documenting a rare political occurrence, Rachel McCleary examines the evolution of the two major elite groups in Guatemala--the organized private sector and the military--during the country's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Arguing that the transition resulted from a stalemate over economic policy, she shows how the two elites altered their relations from disunity (during the period from 1982 to 1986) to unity (from 1993 to the present). Not only does she describe a nonviolent settlement, she also discusses the development of democracy in a country that was directly caught up in Cold War relations between the United States and the USSR. Thus she makes a serious contribution to the study of democratization as well as to Latin American history. Rachel M. McCleary, professor of international studies at Johns Hopkins University, is the author of Seeking Justice: Ethics and International Affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study of the abortion controversy in the United States, Kristin Luker examines the issues, people, and beliefs on both sides of the abortion conflict. She draws data from twenty years of public documents and newspaper accounts, as well as over two hundred interviews with both pro-life and pro-choice activists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.
