Combating Poverty in Europe
Discovering methods to combat poverty and social exclusion has now become a major political challenge in Europe. Combating Poverty in Europe offers an original and timely analysis of how this challenge is met by actors at European, national and subnational levels. Building on a European study comparing Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK, this book provides new insights into the processes and mechanisms that promote or hinder interaction between the increasingly multi-layered European system for responding to poverty and social exclusion in EU member states. The contributors present systematic and comparative analyses of social policy design, institutional frameworks and delivery practices from a multi-level governance perspective. Original and diverse, this book will appeal to researchers and scholars in comparative social policy, as well as policy officials in the EU, national government and anti-poverty NGOs.
Ciudadanía en una perspectiva global .
Desde la antigüedad, la especie humana se ha organizado en colectividades (grupos, tribus, genos, comunidades, sociedades) no solo para sobrevivir, sino para construir un mundo mejor para todos, a través del aporte de las personas. Pertenecer a estas colectividades y actuar dentro de ellas caracterizó lo que convencionalmente se llama ciudadanía. Y la ciudadanía, a lo largo de la historia, ha presentado diferentes contornos y contextos, siendo vivida de diferentes formas.Hoy, con el fenómeno de la globalización y la interconexión a nivel planetario, posibilitado por las tecnologías de la comunicación y el transporte, la ciudadanía plantea nuevos desafíos y requiere una reflexión...
Instituciones, empresa y desarrollo humano.
La obra que llega a los lectores aporta importantes contribuciones a la reflexión del papel de las instituciones que conforman la sociedad, especialmente las empresas, en el proceso de posibilitar el desarrollo humano con justicia y ecuanimidad.

Los temas posteriores adoptan el enfoque del bienestar y la inclusión so...
Instituciones político-jurídicas y desarrollo sostenible
Ás veces o evidente semella ser o que ofrece máis dúbidas, ou o que se ve como un camiño incerto ou mesmo rexeitable. Iso é o que acontece, dende o meu punto de vista, cos plantexamentos ou coas propostas de relación entre Galicia e os países de fala portuguesa, nomeadamente o Brasil. É certo que a forza centrípeta que ten exercido Bruxelas a través dos diferentes instrumentos políticos e xurídicos, e especialmente económicos (a través do Fondo Europeo de Desenvolvemento Rexional, FEDER), obrigou a dirixir á ollada cara a Unión, e crear vías rápidas, alonxadas da pausa e paciencias do camiño de peregrinación medieval, dirixidas con urxencia á converxer. Nese proceso houb...
Luxury Arts of the Renaissance
Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the s...

Artificial Hells
Since the 1990s, critics and curators have broadly accepted the notion that participatory art is the ultimate political art: that by encouraging an audience to take part an artist can promote new emancipatory social relations. Around the world, the champions of this form of expression are numerous, ranging from art historians such as Grant Kester, curators such as Nicolas Bourriaud and Nato Thompson, to performance theorists such as Shannon Jackson. Artificial Hells is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, known in the US as "social practice." Claire Bishop follows the trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the developme...
