Creer en las villas
Las villas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires conforman un territorio urbano de una gran diversidad y riqueza cultural. Este libro se sumerge en ese territorio de la ciudad poniendo foco en las creencias, vivencias y prácticas religiosas de sus habitantes. Busca comprender el sentido de las respuestas capturadas y sistematizadas en la encuesta que el equipo de investigación aplicó a una muestra representativa de pobladores, indagando sus pertenencias, creencias, valores, opiniones sobre las instituciones, vivencias y prácticas religiosas a la luz de los contextos sociales habitados por los encuestados. Estos contextos "territorios" no solo fueron identificados por los investigadores, sino visitados, caminados, observados, experimentados, percibidos y practicados para poder ser narrados.
Abuse in the Latin American Church
This book addresses the crisis of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, the region of the world with the highest percentage of Catholics. Bringing together research from across the continent, it demonstrates that abuse within the Church is indeed a global phenomenon, though abuses have taken different forms according to varying sociocultural contexts. With attention to abuses committed against children, women and vulnerable adults – by both men and women – within the settings of parishes, new religious movements and international religious organizations, it also raises questions of justice, asking how to assess the suffering of victims, how to deal with abusers and how to prevent abuses. It will therefore be of interest to scholars of religious studies, sociology, Latin American studies, criminology, theology, and religious leaders with interests in the abuses and scandals that have been revealed in the worldwide Church.
Capability-Promoting Policies
Most current social welfare policies aim to ameliorate immediate problems or injustices, but they do little to foster human development or support the potential of people within marginalized communities. How can we more effectively use public policy to foster human development? How can we overcome the injustice of contemporary society and give people across the social and class spectrum equal opportunities to flourish? Capability-Promoting Policies offers case studies and analyses of a number of different existing approaches to these questions, presenting newly conceptualized strategies for developing and implementing effective policies for fostering human development at the local, national, and international levels.
Framing Europe
This book provides a major empirical analysis of differing attitudes to European integration in three of Europe's most important countries: Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. From its beginnings, the European Union has resounded with debate over whether to move toward a federal or intergovernmental system. However, Juan Díez Medrano argues that empirical analyses of support for integration--by specialists in international relations, comparative politics, and survey research--have failed to explain why some countries lean toward federalism whereas others lean toward intergovernmentalism. By applying frame analysis to a unique set of primary sources (in-depth interviews, newspaper articl...
