This book was released on 2012 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frente a un nuevo contexto global con múltiples actores y sin un multilateralismo efectivo, el sistema multilateral se encuentra hoy en día en crisis. Esto se debe, en gran parte, a la crisis económico financiera que se vive desde el 2008; a menor atención de los Estados Unidos hacia América Latina y otras regiones del mundo y su inercia unilateral; al bloqueo en el sistema de Naciones Unidas y a la baja legitimidad de instituciones emergentes que no logran dar gobernabilidad global. En Occidente se constatan cambios profundos e importantes, como lo es la profundización de las relaciones de América Latina, particularmente de América del Sur, con la región Asia Pacífico; la consolidación de China como socio comercial estratégico relevante para América Latina desplazando a la Unión Europea, entre otros. Además las revoluciones y cambios en los países árabes y los cambios en África reorientan prioridades y tendencias en Europa que sin duda repercuten en América Latina. Esta publicación recoge las ideas centrales expuestas por destacados académicos (as) acerca de los cambios globales y las distintas visiones de países hegemónicos de la región y fuera de ella; así como acerca de las diplomacias de Cumbres como la de APEC, CELAC, de las Américas y la Unión Europea y las ideas expuestas en torno a temas emergentes transnacionales como lo son el cambio climático, la seguridad, la gobernanza, la gobernabilidad y la integración. A su vez, se analizan los temas de seguridad y defensa de cara a los nuevos desafíos del siglo XXI y los actores relevantes en la política exterior hemisférica, tales como Canadá, los Estados Unidos, México y Brasil. Finalmente, esta publicación cuenta con una reflexión acerca de la visión sobre los cambios que se han dado que continúan ocurriendo en el Sistema Internacional. [Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: International Relations in the 21st Century Summit Diplomacy and Spaces of Regional and Global Agreement Faced with a new global context that has multiple actors but no effective multilateralism, the multilateral system is now in crisis. This is largely due to the economic and financial crisis underway since 2008; to the United States paying less attention to Latin America and other regions of the world and its unilateral inertia; and to the deadlock in the United Nations system and the reduced legitimacy of emerging institutions, which are unable to achieve global governability. In the West, profound and important changes are being witnessed, such as the deepening of relations between Latin America, particularly South America, and the Asia Pacific region, and China's consolidation as a significant strategic trading partner for Latin America, supplanting other partners like the European Union. In addition, the revolutions and transformations occurring in Arab countries and the changes taking place in Africa are reorienting priorities and trends in Europe that no doubt affect Latin America. This publication brings together the main ideas presented by prominent academics with regard to these global changes and the different visions of hegemonic countries within and beyond the region; and to summit diplomacies such as that of APEC, CELAC, the Americas and the EU; as well as the ideas presented in relation to emerging transnational issues such as climate change, security, governance, governability and integration. In turn, the issues of security and defense are analyzed in relation to the new challenges of the 21st century and the relevant actors within hemispheric foreign policy, including Canada, the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Lastly, this work contains a reflection on this view of the changes that continue to take place within the International System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain's membership of the European Union since 1986 has had a major impact. Driven primarily by political concerns to secure democracy, membership has also served as a catalyst to dynamic economic development in Spain. This book analyzes how the EU has helped shape the political process in Spain, focusing on the key institutions and the policy process. At the same time, Spain's increasingly proactive role within the EU is also explored, with particular attention given to the country's international position in post-Cold War Europe.

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 Mexico at the World's Fairs written by Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's fairs was radically transformed during this time, from the Eiffel Tower prototype, encapsulating a wondrous symbolic universe, to the Disneyland model of commodified entertainment. Drawing on cultural, intellectual, urban, literary, social, and art histories, Tenorio-Trillo's thorough and imaginative study presents a broad cultural history of Mexico from 1880 to 1930, set within the context of the origins of Western nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and modernism. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1997.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides an up-to-date assessment of the political and economic issues and is valuable reading for anyone wishing to understand contemporary Spain and Portugal. Following decades of relative isolation under authoritarian regimes, the success of the processes of democratic transition in both countries paved the way for full membership in the European Community in 1986. Drawing on research by established scholars, Spain and Portugal in the European Union offers an original series of analyses of the development of Iberian politics, sociology and economics since the accession to the European Union.

Download or read book Globalizing de Gaulle written by Christian Nuenlist and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French President Charles de Gaulle (1958-1969) has consistently fascinated contemporaries and historians. His vision_conceived out of national interest_of uniting Europe under French leadership and overcoming the Cold War still remains relevant and appealing. De Gaulle's towering personality and his challenge to US hegemony in the Cold War have inspired a vast number of political biographies and analyses of the foreign policies of the Fifth Republic mostly from French or US angle. In contrast, this book serves to rediscover de Gaulle's global policies how they changed the Cold War. Offering truly global perspectives on France's approach to the world during de Gaulle's presidency, the 13 well-matched essays by leading experts in the field tap into newly available sources drawn from US, European, Asian, African and Latin American archives. Together, the contributions integrate previously neglected regions, actors and topics with more familiar and newly approached phenomena into a global picture of the General's international policy-making. The volume at hand is an example of how cutting-edge research benefits from multipolar and multi-archival approaches and from attention to big, middle and smaller powers as well as institutions.

Download or read book A Century of Debt Crises in Latin America written by Carlos Marichal and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Marichal contends that the boom-and-bust cycles of Latin American foreign loans result mainly from the fluctuations of the world economy, rather than from errors made in Latin America itself. Marichal shows that the present debt crisis is only a part of an overall pattern in Latin American history--cycles of loan boom and subsequent debt crisis that are heavily influenced by fluctuations of international trade and capital flows. He also reveals the significant role played by those who implement debt policies. Examining the strategies of both lenders and borrowers, he makes it clear that foreign loan negotiations are not only financial tools but also political instruments with broad economic and social consequences. The book analyzes in detail the four major debt crises that took place in Latin America during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Marichal's focus is comparative, since the contracting of foreign loans and their repayment were problems common to virtually all nations of the region. He devotes special attention to explaining the links of these debt crises to the international financial panics of 1825, 1873, 1890, and 1929. The epilogue compares the debt crises of the past with the contemporary Latin American debt crisis.

Download or read book China Engages Latin America written by R. Evan Ellis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores China’s engagement with Latin America and the Caribbean as a case study of its broader effort to use commercial tools and instruments of state to create a global economic order that functions to its benefit, while neutralizing challenges from institutions, states, and others that would oppose it. Unlike the common representation of the Cold War as a political-military struggle, this work uniquely examines China’s current efforts as primarily seeking to dominate global value chains, with supporting political, technological, and military components. In this regard, it both leverages and goes beyond works based on dependency theory, which has played a key role in the academic and popular discourse in the region. The book examines evidence for China’s economically-focused strategy within Latin America and the Caribbean, including the interrelationships and coordination between China’s activities in different sectors, and between commercial, political, and other dimensions in the region. It further looks at the supporting role played by a diverse range of Chinese initiatives, from China’s Belt and Road initiative, to people-to-people diplomacy, soft power, security engagement, and the PRC struggle with Taiwan for diplomatic recognition in the region, among others. The book highlights the implications for Latin America and the Caribbean, and for the U.S. whose prosperity and security is intimately tied to the region.

Download or read book The Social Metabolism written by Manuel González de Molina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over this last decade, the concept of Social Metabolism has gained prestige as a theoretical instrument for the required analysis, to such an extent that there are now dozens of researchers, hundreds of articles and several books that have adopted and use this concept. However, there is a great deal of variety in terms of definitions and interpretations, as well as different methodologies around this concept, which prevents the consolidation of a unified field of new knowledge. The fundamental aim of the book is to conduct a review of the past and present usage of the concept of social metabolism, its origins and history, as well as the main currents or schools that exist around this concept. At the same time, the reviews and discussions included are used by the authors as starting points to draw conclusions and propose a theory of socio-ecological transformations. The theoretical and methodological innovations of this book include a distinction of two types of metabolic processes: tangible and intangible; the analysis of the social metabolism at different scales (in space and time) and a theory of socio-ecological change overcoming the merely “systemic” or “cybernetic” nature of conventional approaches, giving special protagonism to collective action.

Download or read book Fertility and the Male Life-cycle in the Era of Fertility Decline written by Caroline H. Bledsoe and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume challenges the orthodox position on two of the main themes in fertility transition studies: the inevitable link between fewer children and quality of life and the focus on women as the sole important objects of study. In an era of unprecedented fertility decline, there is increasing concern about the lessening worldwide role that men play in the upbringing of children. The immense worldwide variation in the timing and sequencing of a man's life course events, the rise and fall in personal forunes, and the weight of society's hierarchies, all combine to affect the number of children a man fathers, when he fathers them, the number of partners he fathers them with, and the kind of support and recognition he bestows on them. The cross-disciplinary approach favoured here, including ethnographies, national surveys, and historical texts, avoids the narrow focus of many fertility studies texts.; By providing detailed studies on a variety of countries ranging from Germany to Papua New Guinea, the contributors build an accurate picture of the global situation, while two Overview chapters give a wider perspective, and the Introduction synthesizes the themes identified and conclusions reached.
