Image of U.S. Presidential Administrations
This book analyzes the image of the U.S. presidential administrations from 2001 to 2011 and their political image in foreign countries. The authors focus on the European perception of U.S. presidencies, specifically during the terms of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Political image is decisive in electoral victory and, more often, is central in the conquest and maintenance of political power. Political image is also highly relevant because of the credibility of the United States on the international stage, resulting in gained confidence and the celebration of profitable alliances. This study of political image has a crucial interdisciplinary framework fordisciplines such as communication, political science, and international relations.
Política exterior de Argentina
El presente libro, de manera muy modesta, ha querido revisitar la historia reciente de la Argentina para comprender los meandros de sus últimos cuarenta años de política exterior. Este volumen sobre política exterior argentina posee varios méritos visibles. El primero de ellos es que está escrito por estudiosos a ambas orillas del Atlántico. El segundo de ellos es que constituye un buen ejemplo de producción bibliográfica a la que han aportado practitioners de la diplomacia argentina e investigadores académicos especializados en los temas abordados. El tercero es que se encuentra redactado de manera tal que resulta accesible tanto para público experto como para lectores neófitos.
De caridades y Derechos
En las últimas décadas, el estudio de las políticas sociales se ha intensificado y profundizado, proporcionando enfoques espaciales, temporales e interpretativos novedosos y construyendo miradas diferentes sobre las cambiantes relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad a lo largo del siglo XX. En este marco, el presente libro aborda el proceso histórico de estructuración de las políticas sociales entre 1930 y 1943 en la ciudad de Córdoba, con miras a contribuir al conocimiento del proceso de construcción del Estado social en la Argentina desde una ciudad del interior nacional. Para ello, la investigación aborda la problemática de las políticas sociales a través de los diferentes actores que participaron en la distribución de bienestar en la ciudad, las organizaciones de la sociedad civil -entidades de beneficencia, mutualismo obrero y asociaciones barriales- y los gobiernos, provincial y municipal. En definitiva, a través de este estudio se busca responder a las preguntas sobre cómo y por qué se estructuraron las políticas sociales en la ciudad de Córdoba en el transcurso de esos años de fuertes convulsiones a nivel mundial.
Executive-Legislative Relations in Parliamentary Systems
Analysing the conditions under which governments are more likely to present an executive law or a government bill, this book addresses a central aspect of the decision-making process of public policies. Drafting legislation is an important action to achieve specific policy goals, and the path chosen for this process is part of governmental strategy. This book presents a new theoretical explanation of how executives wield legislative power, based in a formal model. The model is tested using new data from Portugal. It shows that in political systems where one of the political actors has veto powers which can easily be overridden, the type of parliamentary majority is the main consideration for the government's choice of legislative instrument. More specifically, when a government does not have the majority in parliament it is more likely to propose an executive law, and contrary, when a government has a majority in parliament, it is more likely to propose a government bill.
Political Alternation in the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands
“In this innovative study, Dr Ruel explores why political alternation—a bedrock of democratic functioning—has been largely absent in three under-studied regions in Portugal and Spain. Focusing on Madeira, the Azores and the Canary Islands, this book explains how party competition, intra-party democracy and regional economic performance have contributed to political party stasis since the return of democracy in the mid-1970s.” —Paul M. Heywood, Sir Francis Hill Professor of European Politics seconded 0.5 FTE to Global Integrity, Washington DC (2018-21), Faculty of Social Science, University of Nottingham, UK This book is about political alternation. It’s about parties and politici...

Aportaciones e innovaciones metodológicas en ciencias sociales
El método es una herramienta central de la investigación científica. La teoría y el método son lo que diferencia a la perspectiva científica de otras formas de observación y análisis de la realidad. El método es lo que permite definir claramente un objeto de estudio, recopilar y analizar datos de forma sistemática y explícita. Este compendio ofrece 12 nuevas perspectivas, tanto cuantitativas, cualitativas, como comparativas para abordar la investigación en ciencias sociales, además de proporcionar pistas para una de las tareas más complejas de los estudiosos, como es la de la revisión de la literatura cuando se elabora un nuevo proyecto. En ese sentido constituye a la vez un aporte para la indagación y la docencia.
The Routledge Companion to Migration, Communication, and Politics
The Routledge Companion to Migration, Communication and Politics brings together academics from numerous disciplines to show the legal, political, communicative, theoretical, methodological, and media implications of migration. The collection makes the compelling case that migration does not occur in a vacuum; rather, it is driven by and reacts to various factors, including the political, economic, and cultural worlds in which individuals live. The 25 chapters reveal the complex nature of migration from various angles, not only looking at how policy affects migrants but also how individuals and marginalized groups are impacted by such acts. In Part I contributors examine migration law, debat...
