Esta monografía aborda la corrupción desde la dimensión global que presenta este fenómeno y la necesidad, en consecuencia, de adoptar al respecto una perspectiva multidisciplinar. Así, por una parte, se tratan las implicaciones penales de la corrupción en delitos como el urbanístico. Por otra, se desgaja el fenómeno de la corrupción conjugando análisis estrictamente técnicojurídicos con perspectivas de política criminal. Se trata, en definitiva, de enfrentarse al problema de la prevención y sanción de la corrupción desde una perspectiva integral como única forma de comprensión de la globalidad del fenómeno. Globalidad que se manifiesta también en la dimensión territorial del problema.Ello encuentra reflejo en el estudio del delito de corrupción en las operaciones comerciales internacionales, así como en el análisis comparado de los distintos delitos de corrupción tanto pública como privada en diferentes ordenamientos, como el italiano o el noruego.
Las ideas que se proponen en este trabajo toman principalmente por base las elaboraciones teóricas propuestas, durante su larga carrera científica, por el profesor alemán Günther Jakobs. Son varias décadas de investigación de ya una escuela (la escuela de Bonn) que cuenta con seguidores en muchos países europeos y americanos, donde académicos y dogmáticos del derecho penal profundizaron y explicaron sus conceptos, crearon nuevas categorías e impulsaron profundas discusiones penales. En suma, donde se ha pretendido estudiar los problemas sociales a partir de una visión holística de la ciencia penal; una visión no individualista y en muchos aspectos más cercana a la posmodernidad...
The articles collected here are based for the most part on papers read at the Colloquium “The Placita of Aëtius: Foundations for the Study of Ancient Philosophy,” held in Melbourne in December 2015. The Placita, a first century CE collection of systematically organised tenets in natural philosophy ranging from first principles to human physiology is incompletely extant in several later sources. Its laborious reconstruction and the identity of its author are discussed from various angles. The text of the treatise is further elucidated by a novel statistical exploration of what is extant and what is missing. Its relation to various currents in the history of Greek philosophy and its reliability are also examined in some detail.

Translated by Jesse Lee Kercheval Eight years before Sylvia Plath published Ariel, the Uruguayan poet Idea Vilariño released Poemas de Amor, a collection of confessional, passionate poetry dedicated to the novelist Juan Carlos Onetti. Both of her own merit and as part of the Uruguayan writers group the Generation of ’45—which included Onetti, Mario Benedetti, Amanda Berenguer, and Ida Vitale—Vilariño is an essential South American poet, and part of a long tradition of Uruguayan women poets. Vilariño and Onetti’s love affair is one of the most famous in South American literature. Poemas de Amor is an intense book, full of poems about sexuality and what it means to be a woman, and stands as a testament to both the necessity and the impossibility of love. This translation brings these highly personal poems to English speaking audiences for the first time side-by-side with the original Spanish language versions.
Non-international armed conflicts now far outnumber international ones, but the protection afforded by international law to combatants and civilian is not always clear. This book will set out the legal rules and state practice applicable to internal armed conflicts, drawing on armed conflicts from the US civil war to present day.
This book offers a geographic dimension to the study of innovation and product commercialization. Building on the literature in economics and geography, this book demonstrates that product innovation clusters spatially in regions which provide concentrations of the knowledge needed for the commercialization process. The book develops a conceptual model which links the location of new product innovations to the sources of these knowledge inputs. The geographic concentration of this knowledge fonns a technological infrastructure which promotes infonnation transfers, and lowers the risks and the costs of engaging in innovative activity. Empirical estimation confinns that the location of product...
