The Multilevel Politics of Trade presents a timely comparative analysis of eight federations (plus the European Union) to explore why some sub-federal actors have become more active in trade politics in recent years. As the contributing authors find, there is considerable variation in the intensity and modes of sub-federal participation. This they attribute to three key factors: the distinctive institutional features of federal systems; the nature and scope of trade policy and trade agreements; and the extent of social mobilization that accompanies a particular trade policy conversation. As a whole, The Multilevel Politics of Trade argues that sub-federal actors' interests (jurisdictional, p...
Este libro es representante de una corriente paulatinamente vigente en la realidad mundial y, por tanto, en los estudios de las relaciones internacionales; se convierte también en pionero de tales temas en la academia de Jalisco. Lo que propone Actores locales, impactos globales: aportes académicos en paradiplomacia, es imaginar que los estudios hechos desde las relaciones internacionales puedan tocar tierra inmediata. La tradición de análisis geopolíticos, diplomáticos, de política exterior, continúan teniendo un lugar privilegiado en el universo de esta ciencia social, pero el mundo cambia y el principal cambio es que el Estado, con mayúscula, ha venido cediendo espacio de actor global privilegiado que acaparaba la atención intelectual hacia otros espacios, los espacios inmediatos, los que directamente nos competen, en los cuales se siente el impacto de la toma de decisiones mundiales.
Becaria en llamas busca comunidad de cerillas es una denuncia de la precariedad laboral y los abusos de poder que sufren muchos becarios y becarias en la universidad. Auri, la protagonista, es una antropóloga que emprende una pequeña revolución que pondrá al descubierto la cara oscura de estos «templos de sabiduría». El narrador de la historia es Monius, su irreverente diario de campo, compañero inseparable y confidente. Con fantasía y sentido del humor esta obra nos relata la crudeza de una realidad que va más allá del ámbito laboral y formativo.
Human milk is uniquely tailored to meet infants’ specific nutritional requirements. However, it is more than just “milk”. This dynamic and bioactive fluid allows mother–infant signalling over lactation, guiding the infant in the developmental and physiological processes. It exerts protection and life-long biological effects, playing a crucial role in promoting healthy growth and optimal cognitive development. The latest scientific advances have provided insight into different components of human milk and their dynamic changes over time. However, the complexity of human milk composition and the synergistic mechanisms responsible for its beneficial health effects have not yet been unra...

Drawing on political discourse from a wide rage of settings and perspectives, this book is set to provide a descriptive and analytical tool for examining political discourse and will be welcomed by anyone interested in discourse analysis in general, and in political discourse in particular.

En la actualidad, la conservación del ambiente es un tema de relevancia a nivel mundial, por la repercusión que tiene en las estrategias de desarrollo y de competitividad, así como en la propia dinámica de los países tendientes a buscar los añorados patrones de sostenibilidad. La contabilidad es un área que ha tenido un desarrollo vertiginoso en los últimos años, motivado por los profundos cambios y la dinámica de los entornos empresariales que han reconfigurado los patrones de comportamiento de este campo. Sin embargo, no ha perdido su esencia, manteniendo su carácter normativo bajo condiciones de relevancia, transparencia y fiabilidad de los hechos económicos. Día con día, en...
Two hundred years ago, 90% of human beings lived in conditions we now classify as extreme poverty. Since the emergence of capitalism, this figure has plummeted from 90% to 9%. This fact should be celebrated and studied more than it is. When curious minds grapple with the question, how has prosperity replaced poverty in so many places?, they discover the miracles of free enterprise-eloquently described in Antonella Marty's important new book-including how the profit motive fosters cooperation and innovation, all to satisfy human wants and needs.
Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.
