Balance y desafíos del Estado regulador, supervisor, promotor y empresario. Tomo I, Acción pública económica y Estado regulador. XXIV Jornadas Internacionales de Derecho Administrativo.
El tomo primero de esta obra contiene, de una parte, una aproximación general de las actuaciones de la administración pública contemporánea sobre y en la economía, en el marco de un Estado social y democrático de derecho. Bajo este enfoque se estudian el rol de director y planificador de la economía que tiene el Estado, y su relación con los mercados, los agentes económicos, y los actores públicos que lo integran. Las reflexiones de esta parte general sirven de base para luego estudiar, en una segunda parte, las principales facetas que adquiere el Estado como regulador, así como los límites y desafíos que encuentra en el ejercicio de esta función administrativa. A través de un enfoque económico y jurídico, esta obra ofrece al lector una perspectiva completa y multidisciplinaria sobre las normas e instituciones de derecho administrativo aplicables a esta indispensable función del Estado en materia económica.
Corrupción en Colombia - Tomo IV: Corrupción, Estado e Instrumentos Jurídicos
Con una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que integra información jurídica, social y económica, en este tomo los autores examinan no solo cómo y hasta qué punto el Estado ha sido capturado por la corrupción, sino también las herramientas que se deben desarrollar para erradicar este mal endémico. La falta de transparencia, el escaso control ciudadano a la gestión pública y fallas en el diseño institucional de los organismos del Estado incentivan las prácticas corruptas en todas las ramas del poder público. El enfoque represivo, en este caso la política punitiva tradicional, ha demostrado ser insuficiente para combatir la corrupción; de ahí que las investigaciones aquí contenidas concuerden en que es necesario fortalecer mecanismos alternativos como el control interno, poner énfasis en la implementación de medidas preventivas y fomentar la tecnificación y las buenas prácticas en el ejercicio de funciones estatales.
Hollywood Highbrow
Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically chan...

The Mind-brain Continuum
Bringing together contributors working on a common problem but addressing different levels of brain organization by way of different tehniques, The Mind-Brain Continuum seeks to determine which scientific questions are most pressing as we move toward discovering the neurobiology of psychological processes. As the title implies, contributions are organized around the notion that mental activity is brain activity, providing a broad, integrated view of a particular subset of brain function. The focus is on sensory perception, processes that include somatosensory, auditory and olfactory processes, as well as research on vision.
Psychoanalysis and Ethics
Psychoanalysis has had a profound impact on popular morals, for Freud's discoveries have made us aware that unconscious motivations may subvert moral conduct and that moral judgments may be rationalizations of self-interest or expressions of hostility. Freud has, in fact, been called a founder of the "hermeneutics of suspicion" that pervades modern attitudes toward morality. In this book, however, a psychoanalyst who is also a professor of ethics asserts that we do not accurately understand Freud on the various psychological issues relevant to morality and the ethical implications that can be drawn from his views. Ernest Wallwork offers a bold reinterpretation of Freudian theory, showing the...
Development in Adulthood
"The book presents a 'balanced' view of development in adulthood that is not swayed by either unrealistic optimism or unnecessary pessimism." "The book contains a number of important features that are needed in this market: 1) current research and theory that is accessible to the undergraduate reader; 2) an optimistic standpoint on adult development and aging; and 3) attention to issues pertaining to women and culture that are not isolated nor gratuitous in nature."
