State-Firm Coordination and Upgrading
Since the 1980s, Spain and South Korea have experienced dramatic economic transformations.

Work, Employment and Flexibility
This insightful book examines the evolving landscape of work in the context of rapidly developing information and communication technology and Artificial Intelligence. It argues that while in the twentieth century there was a standardisation of work style, the twenty-first century is seeing the creation of ever more flexible forms of work, epitomised by the rise of the gig economy.
Turning Points
Turning Points: Challenges for Western Democracies in the 21st Century centers around the strikingly under-researched concept of turning points and its application in political science, including various theories, fields, and sub-disciplines. The chapters provide theoretical discussion and conceptual clarity by distinguishing a set of turning points at different analytical levels. Based on a wide range of case studies, the authors illustrate where, when and how different types of turning points occur (or not) against the backdrop of current challenges in and for Western democracies. The conceptual and empirical variety of the volume allows scholars and practitioners in policymaking to develop and apply their own frameworks when dealing with turning point dynamics.

El mundo visto desde América Latina
Uno de los síntomas más claros de los tiempos de crisis y cambio estructural es la ausencia de un lenguaje para nombrar las cosas. ¿Qué es el orden internacional hoy, en tiempos de la invasión rusa a Ucrania y la guerra en Medio Oriente? ¿Qué quieren decir los derechos humanos, ante una desigualdad creciente? ¿Qué fue del multilateralismo y la diplomacia, mientras el poder global se reconfigura con la poderosa irrupción de China? ¿Qué implica la seguridad, en momentos de creciente militarización del mundo y fortalecimiento del crimen organizado? Este libro, fruto de un esfuerzo colaborativo regional, se propone dar una respuesta al estado de orfandad conceptual en que se encuent...
