Ecos revolucionarios en el Caribe
Pocos vínculos han generado tanto revuelo en América Latina como el desplegado en los últimos decenios entre Cuba y Venezuela. Fruto de una visión similar de la realidad interna y sobre todo externa, estos dos países o mejor dicho sus regímenes, han establecido unas estrechas relaciones que han generado reacciones de todo tipo en la escena internacional y dentro de los propios países.La realidad es que la historia común, o al menos cercana, de estos dos países no comienza con la aproximación de Hugo Chávez y del bolivarianismo a la Revolución Cubana. Antes de la llegada de este militar golpista posteriormente electo por los venezolanos se producen una serie de choques, intercambi...
Quinientos años de La Habana (1519-2019)
Havana is a city that has been important for the entire Atlantic world since the early 16th century. During the colonial period, it was an American terminal on the „route” connecting the Old and New worlds. In the 19th century it became one of the most important centers of the global sugar trade, while in the latter part of the 20th century, Fidel Castro wanted to make Havana a stronghold of the world revolution. Havana was not only a political and economic base, but also a city with flourishing culture. This book was been published on the occasion of the 500 year anniversary of the foundation of the first settlement, offering diverse views of the history of the city. The contributions were written by experts from American and European countries, including Allan Kuethe, José Antonio Piqueras, Françoise Moulin Civil and Miguel Ángel Puig-Samper.
A New Struggle for Independence in Modern Latin America
This volume explores several notable themes related to foreign affairs in Latin America and the reconfiguration of the power of the different states in the region. It offers insightful historical perspectives for understanding national, regional and global issues from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, from analysis of the traditional "hegemony" of the United States over Latin America through its military, and political influence due to the presence of the European Union, Russia, and China. These views cannot be reduced to a simplistic vision of the dominant and subordinate; rather, they attempt to seek lines of continuity by highlighting traditional interpretations of new scenarios such as regional trading and security blocs. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader but instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present. Finally, the growing importance of international mechanisms in enabling the success of certain Latin American regimes is also highlighted, in particular the influence of regional diffusion through international organizations or other networks.

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
