Shaping Peacebuilding in Colombia
This book explores the involvement of the international community in peacebuilding efforts in Colombia since 2016.
Histories of Perplexity
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
Scandal and American Politics in the 21st Century
This book examines how scandal allegations have been managed in the contemporary era in the United States and how understandings of the impact of scandal on political credibility have changed over time. It incorporates prominent scandals, at both federal and state level, in which sudden and unexpected revelations created an uncertain political environment. The primary focus is on sex scandals and how damage limitation strategies have been utilized in order to try to limit and accommodate a demise in political standing. The book considers how damage limitation strategies were utilized, the core components of each, and their impact on the political standing of the individuals involved. Rather than marking the end of a political journey, scandal increasingly appears to be an issue that can be perceived as a temporary impediment in a political career.
Media Systems and Communication Policies in Latin America
Media Systems and Communication Policies in Latin America proposes, tests and analyses the liberal captured model. It explores to what extent to which globalisation, marketization, commercialism, regional bodies and the nation State redefine the media's role in Latin American societies.
Rethinking Humanitarian Intervention
Two leading experts in the field re-examine the traditional understanding of humanitarian intervention in this major new text. The recent high-profile interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria show the various international responses to impending or ongoing humanitarian crises, tracking the development from ad hoc military interventions to a more formalised international human rights regime. This evolution has fundamentally changed the way that states and international society think about, and respond to, atrocities. This textbook charts and explains the transformation, examines the challenges that confront it, and asks whether this new politics can withstand the growing crises in international...
Los cercos del debate sobre restitución de tierras
La Ley 1448 o Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras, aprobada en junio de 2011, es una de las banderas del presidente colombiano Juan Manuel Santos. Tiene como fin resarcir a las víctimas del conflicto armado y promover la paz desde un enfoque agrario y de justicia transicional, cuando el país se proyecta hacia el posconflicto. Con una novedosa metodología que cruza el análisis de encuadre y el análisis retórico, Maryluz Vallejo Mejía y Catalina Montoya Londoño reconstruyen la trayectoria del debate público sobre la Ley 1448 desde que entró en vigencia, en 2012. Mediante el estudio de más de mil quinientas piezas de siete periódicos nacionales y regionales, las autoras demue...
Navigating the Local
Covering three Lebanese municipalities with striking sectarian diversity, Saida, Bourj Hammoud and Tyre, this book investigates the ways in which local service delivery, local interactions and vertical relationships matter in building peace.
Unarmed Civilian Protection
The frequent failure of military or armed interventions to protect civilians is well known. This edited collection provides a comprehensive account of a different, effective paradigm: unarmed civilian protection (UCP). The principles and methods of UCP have been used for many decades to protect both specific, threatened individuals as well as whole communities. Featuring contributions from around the world, this book brings together a wide range of UCP practices in order to examine their underlying theory and interrelated strategies. The book provides an important illustration of the contributions UCP can make, while also discussing its limitations and failures.
