Plan Colombia
For more than fifty years, the United States supported the Colombian military in a war that cost over 200,000 lives. During a single period of heightened U.S. assistance known as Plan Colombia, the Colombian military killed more than 5,000 civilians. In Plan Colombia John Lindsay-Poland narrates a 2005 massacre in the San José de Apartadó Peace Community and the subsequent investigation, official cover-up, and response from the international community. He examines how the multibillion-dollar U.S. military aid and official indifference contributed to the Colombian military's atrocities. Drawing on his human rights activism and interviews with military officers, community members, and human ...
Mexican Political Biographies, 1935-1993
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves. They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...
Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges
The first Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (PCSMGE) was held in Mexico in 1959. Every 4 years since then, PCSMGE has brought together the geotechnical engineering community from all over the world to discuss the problems, solutions and future challenges facing this engineering sector. Sixty years after the first conference, the 2019 edition returns to Mexico. This book, Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges, presents the proceedings of the XVI Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XVI PCSMGE), held in Cancun, Mexico, from 17 – 20 November 2019. Of the 393 full papers submitt...
Direito, Mito e Sociedade
O mundo passa por um período pandêmico, que exige de todos a reinvenção do “modus operandi” acadêmico: aulas remotas, comunicação virtual, encontros à distância por meio de recursos da internet e reelaboração do material de leitura e estudos. Além disso, e apesar disso, ainda há outras frentes de luta contra movimentos explicitamente antidemocráticos, negacionistas e perversos. Em muitos lugares do mundo se verificam grupos sabidamente neofascistas, autoritários. No Brasil, tais grupos atentam diuturnamente contra os valores democráticos e constitucionais. Por isso mesmo, resolvemos rever, reler, corrigir, readequar e reorganizar muitos textos já publicados anteriormente...
Debates y aportes al sistema integral de derecho penal. Obra homenaje al profesor Jorge Arenas Salazar
Esta obra corresponde a la compilación de diversos trabajos de investigación académica que dan cuenta de los debates actuales del Sistema Penal Integral. Se trata de un esfuerzo colectivo de construcción de conocimiento sobre los debates en el campo penal y los problemas emergentes que imponen las sociedades actuales a los saberes tradicionales de la dogmática penal, el proceso penal, la criminología y la política criminal. Se trata de una obra de actualidad que discute los debates que le impone la realidad al saber penal, de los procesos de transformación que se han suscitado en la disciplina como resultado de las dinámicas complejas de una sociedad en metamorfosis permanente. La s...
La tutela dei diritti umani tra giurisdizioni interne e sovranazionali: profili teorici, sostanziali e processuali. Scritti scelti a partire dal CAF 2021
Il volume costituisce la raccolta selezionata degli scritti di alcuni dei partecipanti all’edizione speciale del Corso di Alta formazione in Giustizia costituzionale e tutela giurisdizionale “Alessandro Pizzorusso” svoltosi presso l’Università di Pisa, per la prima volta telematicamente, dal 11 al 22 gennaio 2021. La ratio dei numerosi lavori scientifici selezionati e qui presentati si fonda sulla volontà, per un verso, di valorizzare le ricerche scientifiche portate avanti dai diversi Autori nei loro Paesi di provenienza e, per altro verso, di rafforzare la necessità di un continuo confronto tra realtà ordinamentali anche molto eterogenee tra loro. L’ulteriore obiettivo è, dunque, quello di interrogarsi intorno al filo rosso costituito dal tema della tutela dei diritti nel rapporto tra giurisdizioni interne e sovranazionali, per comprendere le molteplici problematiche e le interessanti declinazioni emerse dai contributi.
