On Mexico’s northwestern frontier, judicial conflicts unfolded against a backdrop of armed resistance and ethnic violence. In the face of Apache raids in the north and Yaqui and Mayo revolts in the south, domestic disputes involving children, wives, and servants were easily conflated with ethnic rebellion and “barbarous” threats. A wife’s adulterous liaison, a daughter’s elopement, or a nephew’s enraged assault shook the very foundation of what it meant to be civilized at a time when communities saw themselves under siege. Laura Shelton has plumbed the legal archives of early Sonora to reveal the extent to which both court officials and quarreling relatives imagined connections b...
The UNDP’s global initiative—“Growing Inclusive Markets”—brings together cases from all over the world and similar regional publications. In Brazil, UNDP has created the “Incluir Initiative” which aims to encourage and recognize inclusive businesses in the country.

The report of...

The book "On Our Own Terms - Stories of Women Entrepreneurs around the World" brings together stories from 24 countries. The book is the result of The Girls on the Road project spanning 99,534,000 kilometers, and more than 300 interviews on 5 continents with women entrepreneurs and experts. Women still face more obstacles to become entrepreneurs no matter the country, culture or environment. Over the course of 15 months, the duo also navigated the sociocultural aspects of the countries visited and had an experience that went beyond the interviews. "We had the opportunity to get to know a little of the role and perception of women through them. It was an excellent exercise to break our own paradigms and prejudices, "said the authors.
The historical data and vast information in the historical sources is arranged in this book using software to make clusters of data and quantification. This serves as illustrative example for future research on how to apply such methods to historical research. The analysis of formation of new elites and powerful families, and the social networks they belonged to, serves to understand in the long run how groups and families in localities of southern Europe have consolidated their power and how political institutions (then and now) have served to the perpetuation of such families in the exercise of power. Disputes and rivalry between factions, elites and groups of power to control land (as main economic source of power) and political institutions have not ceased since the early modern period until today. Southern and Mediterranean Europe localities are a good example in which fierce struggles between elite groups have lasted across space and time.

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT GREAT ENTREPRENEURS, WE NOTICE SOMETHING IN COMMON: THEY WENT BEYOND THE OBVIOUS. THEY THOUGHT OUTSIDE THE BOX. THEY SAW SOLUTIONS WHEN THE REST OF THE MARKET ONLY SAW HINDRANCES. THAT'S THE SKILL I WANT TO HELP YOU DEVELOP. Everybody knows how hard it is to own a company in the current market—mortality is high, and achieving the desired profit takes time, discipline, and planning. As you build a company, or even while still developing your business idea, you notice some of the complications that might prevent you from going forward: lack of financial control, bad time management, wanting to do everything all at once, inability to finish things, lack of collaboration an...
