Iniciativas para la sustentabilidad. Transformando personas, construyendo país
En esta obra se reúnen las iniciativas, pero también las experiencias vividas, por las y los autores que han participado como estudiantes de distintas promociones de las siete primeras versiones del Diplomado en Educación para el Desarrollo Sustentable y cómo este, tanto en la interacción del ejercicio académico de intercambio de saberes como la experiencia –en sí misma– de haberlo cursado ha significado en su desarrollo como persona y en la ejecución de su iniciativa en el colectivo al que pertenece. Consideramos, entonces, que el mayor mérito de este libro es presentar la huella que ha dejado en las y los autores de las iniciativas este diplomado surgido en una época de movilizaciones sociales por una educación gratuita y de calidad que ha marcado a la sociedad chilena.

The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
Hurricane Risk
This book details the outcomes of new research focusing on climate risk related to hurricanes. Topics include numerical simulation of tropical cyclones, through tropical cyclone hazard estimation to damage estimates and their implications for commercial risk. Inspired by the 6th International Summit on Hurricanes and Climate Change: From Hazard to Impact, this book brings together leading international academics and researchers, and provides a source reference for both risk managers and climate scientists for research on the interface between tropical cyclones, climate and risk.
Skills and the Labor Market in a New Era
Uruguay faces medium- and long-term challenges associated with two global megatrends: population aging and technological change. These two megatrends have been developing for some time, but policy responses have been late or inadequate in many cases. Trying to delay them--by promoting higher fertility or enforcing restrictions on the adoption of new technologies--would probably be ineffective but also ill-advised, as these trends are generating important opportunities to increase production and welfare. The objective of this book is to identify these opportunities, as well as the challenges that population aging and technological change pose for the Uruguayan economy and to determine how they can be addressed through better-designed public policies, with a focus on the development of new skills that increase workers’ productivity.
