Luego de más de una década de la implementación del presupuesto participativo en Medellín, consideramos pertinente una revisión de algunos de sus logros y desaciertos, enriquecida con el contraste que ofrecen experiencias internacionales como las de puerto alegre, en Brasil. La plata, en argentina y san juan en puerto rico. Hacemos entonces un balance de este mecanismo de participación ciudadana, establecemos sus relaciones con el sistema de controles a la administración pública, revisamos la literatura sobre el tema generado en Medellín, exploramos como fue la transferencia de esta política a la ciudad, y la presentamos en sus luces y sombras, contradicciones y posibilidades. Esperamos así aportar a la comunidad académica, a las organizaciones no gubernamentales y a los policy marker elementos de análisis que permitan alimentar el debate en torno al presupuesto participativo como un instrumento relevante para encontrar soluciones concertadas a los problemas públicos locales, la construcción de ciudadanía y el ejercicio democrático
Climate change is the defining development challenge of our time. More than a global environmental issue, climate change and variability threaten to reverse recent progress in poverty reduction and economic growth. Both now and over the long run, climate change and variability threatens human and social development by restricting the fulfillment of human potential and by disempowering people and communities in reducing their livelihoods options. Communities across Latin America and the Caribbean are already experiencing adverse consequences from climate change and variability. Precipitation has increased in the southeastern part of South America, and now often comes in the form of sudden del...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

This book analyzes the emerging concept of diversity intelligence, which values the differences in employees without attempting to make everyone alike. Organization leaders need diversity intelligence to better interact with the changing demographics in America and the global economy, by embracing differences as strengths rather than weaknesses. Without a clear understanding of diversity, leaders are not fully equipped to realize organizational goals through all employees. The author highlights the importance of integrating diversity intelligence into leadership and career development plans alongside intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and cultural intelligence. In order to fully motivate diverse individuals, leaders must first be able to recognize differences between themselves and others without it being an obstacle to performance. This book is a window into how leaders can reflect on their actions and behaviors to effectively implement new strategies, and is an essential read for HR researchers, professionals, consultants, and managers of global operating companies.
