A la responsabilidad social por la contratación pública
Que la contratación pública no es sólo un medio para proveer de bienes y servicios a la Administración, sino que además, es un potente inductor para la consecución de otras finalidades sociales, para mejorar la eficiencia y la calidad de los servicios públicos, es un argumento frecuentemente utilizado por el legislador y la doctrina. Argumento que conecta con una visión socialmente responsable de las organizaciones públicas para ir más allá de sus obligaciones legales, que siempre ha de respetar. La obra que tiene en sus manos, acomete una estrategia de implantación de la contratación socio-responsable, fijando sus intangibles, tales como una gestión orientada a procesos, el pl...
Calidad, transparencia y ética pública
Aunque seguimos hablando de ello hoy en día, casi siempre es para cuestionar la vigencia de la calidad como herramienta de apoyo a una Administración que quiere ser moderna, útil, responsable y generadora de bien público, donde el libre ejercicio de derechos fundamentales de los ciudadanos legitima su razón de ser. Este trabajo quiere reivindicar los modelos de gestión de la calidad y los principios que los inspiran, verificando que, salvo por una escasa puesta en práctica, ambos casan bien con los precursores de las normas por las que se conducen las Administraciones, colocando estos modelos de gestión de la calidad y sus principios a las personas como centro de atención, en una vi...
Transparência e participação popular
A corrupção institucionalizada e a ineficiência administrativa contribuem de forma decisiva para o fortalecimento da crise de representatividade democrática do Estado brasileiro. Faz-se necessário compreender, em harmonia com a ordem constitucional de que todo o poder emana do povo, que o respeito aos princípios regentes da Administração Pública é essencial à superação desse inegável hiato que historicamente se formou entre representantes e representados. A adoção de escolhas responsáveis vinculadas ao direito fundamental à boa administração se mostra igualmente indispensável nessa trajetória de mudanças. E para que o Estado justifique sua razão de existir e cumpra o ...

La Lucha
A front-line human rights defender fighting murderous impunity in the Mexican borderlands The Mexican border state of Chihuahua and its city Juárez have become notorious the world over as hotbeds of violence. Drug cartel battles and official corruption result in more murders annually in Chihuahua than in wartorn Afghanistan. Thanks to a culture of impunity, 97 percent of the killings in Juárez go unsolved. Despite a climate of fear, a small group of human rights activists, exemplified by the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha Castro, works to identify the killers and their official enablers. This is the story of La Lucha, illustrated in beautiful and chilling comic book art, rendering in rich detail the stories of families ripped apart by disappearances and murders—especially gender-based violence—and the remarkably brave advocacy, protests, and investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their grief into resistance.
A Dream of Passion
“The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist

Who Killed Berta Caceres?
A deeply affecting–and infuriating–portrait of the life and death of a courageous indigenous leader The first time Honduran indigenous leader Berta Cáceres met the journalist Nina Lakhani, Cáceres said, ‘The army has an assassination list with my name at the top. I want to live, but in this country there is total impunity. When they want to kill me, they will do it.’ In 2015, Cáceres won the Goldman Prize, the world’s most prestigious environmental award, for leading a campaign to stop construction of an internationally funded hydroelectric dam on a river sacred to her Lenca people. Less than a year later she was dead. Lakhani tracked Cáceres remarkable career, in which the def...
