Reinterpreting the Banana Republic
"Major work focusing on Honduras' northern coast challenges traditional assumption that dominant position of foreign banana companies in region precluded significant, active role for local capitalists and workers. New understanding emerges of 'military populism' and other peculiar features of 20th-century Honduran political history"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Arte, ciencia y belleza en el Renacimiento.
[...] Como tiempo, el Renacimiento va desde (las bisagras) Dante Alighieri y Giotto di Bondone hasta el siglo xviii, aunque esto, todavía, es motivo de discusión. El va y el hasta, además, se aplica al espacio geográfico donde tuvo lugar y en donde produjo sus frutos: Italia, Alemania, España, Francia, Inglaterra, Bélgica, Suiza, Holanda, Polonia, Rusia, y de algunos de estos, mezclado con el Gótico, por poner un ejemplo de mezcla, a otros espacios del globo. Y lo renacentista... ¿En qué consiste dicho carácter del espíritu humano al que podemos llamar renacentista?, ¿en qué consiste ser renacentista? Sería una petulancia dar una definición terminada en un texto tan breve como...
Counterclaims in Investment Arbitration
Foreign investors benefit from investment protection standards in international investment law which are enforceable in investment arbitration. However, international law does not directly bind foreign investors and investment arbitration struggles to address foreign investor misconduct. Thus, host States cannot easily claim against foreign investors for breaches of international law in investment arbitration. In Counterclaims in Investment Arbitration, Edward Guntrip illustrates how host States can use counterclaim procedures in investment arbitration to hold foreign investors accountable for misconduct that breaches international law. Based on arbitral practice, the book sets out how host States can amend their State practice and litigation strategies to enhance the effectiveness of counterclaim procedures and assesses when host States should take this course of action.
En el principio existía el axioma de no contradicción (Hacia guillermo de ockham por la literatura y la filosofía)
Cuando G. K. Chesterton en su corto ensayo Aproximación al tomismo quiere resumir los descarríos o los logros de los sabios sobre la realidad, muestra las tres controversias generales del pensamiento: (1) la disolución de las cosas en las soluciones químicas del escepticismo, que es la controversia entre el flujo o la transición informe; (2) la difícil clasificación de las unidades ideales, que es la controversia entre realismo y nominalismo; y (3) el reconocimiento, también arduo, de la variedad cuando a la vez se admite la unidad, que es el viejo acertijo metafísico de la unidad y lo múltiple. Este libro se concentra en la segunda controversia, sin el olvido de los otros dos prob...

Always Near, Always Far
During the Cold War, Mexico successfully bucked the tide of US backed military dictatorships that swept Latin America. Ironically, after communism has disappeared as a political force, Mexico's army is mired in multiple counterinsurgency battles, has been infiltrated by narcotics traffickers at the highest ranks, is endemic with corruption, and is increasingly dependent on US weapons, training, and ideology. In 16 chapters, written by 11 experts in military affairs, including two full generals (one retired, the other a political prisoner, who smuggled out his three chapters in this volume via his son on visiting days), a complex and comprehensive picture of the Mexican Armed Forces is presen...
