Hacia la reconciliación
Los conflictos surgidos en el seno de las sociedades vasca y colombiana han dejado desastrosas secuelas en el presente de su ciudadanía, en los relatos compartidos y en su memoria histórica. Ante el deseo de venganza de algunos y el de pasar rápidamente página de otros, distintas voces se han alzado abogando por el restablecimiento paulatino de las relaciones cívicas y la búsqueda de un escenario de reconciliación, en el que la verdad, la justicia y el perdón sean las bases de una sociedad que construya los cimientos de una nueva convivencia en paz. A lo largo de los últimos años han surgido distintas iniciativas, centradas en la justicia restaurativa y transformadora, y evitando a...
Global Dynamics
A world model: economies, trade, migration, security and development aid. This bookprovides the analytical capability to understand and explore the dynamics of globalisation. It is anchored in economic input-output models of over 200 countries and their relationships through trade, migration, security and development aid. The tools of complexity science are brought to bear and mathematical and computer models are developed both for the elements and for an integrated whole. Models are developed at a variety of scales ranging from the global and international trade through a European model of inter-sub-regional migration to piracy in the Gulf and the London riots of 2011. The models embrace th...
Homage to Ramon Margalef, Or, Why There is Such Pleasure in Studying Nature
When a scientific journal like "Oecologia Aquatica" reaches its tenth issue, it is perhaps not an occasion for extraordinary celebration. However, if it turn out that this coincides with a series of unusual circunstances, then the perspective changes somewhat. Moreover, if the editors hasten to confess that this modest milestone of issue na 10 was really taken as an excuse to pay tribute to Professor Ramon Margalef, who was the founder, the first director and the driving force behind the journal, we can be forgiven for waiting to celebrate.
Research & Innovation Forum 2019
This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2019. As such, this volume offers a unique insight into emerging topics, issues and developments pertinent to the fields of technology, innovation and education and their social impact. Papers included in this volume apply inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to query such issues as technology-enhanced teaching and learning, smart cities,, information systems, cognitive computing and social networking. What brings these threads of the discussion together is the question of how advances in computer science – which are otherwise largely incomprehensible to researchers from other fields ...
The European Union and the Arctic
The European Union and the Arctic brings together academics from a range of disciplines to discuss the EU's potential roles in shaping Arctic governance. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the EU’s current Arctic policy framework. The second part focuses on the EU’s engagement with Arctic governance at the regional level and encompasses the EU’s engagement with the so-called Arctic Five (five coastal States of the Arctic Ocean), providing examples of some of those relationships. The third part takes a sectoral approach, analysing the EU’s potential contribution to regulation of key human activities in the Arctic, including shipping, fisheries, oil and gas operations, and marine mammals.
The Local Relevance of Human Rights
Do human rights offer real protection when disadvantaged groups invoke them at the local level in an attempt to improve their living conditions? If so, how can we make sure that the experiences of those invoking human rights at the local level have an impact on the further development of human rights (at national and other levels) so that the local relevance of human rights increases? Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948, numerous international documents have reaffirmed human rights as global norms. This book examines what factors determine whether appeals to human rights that emanate from the local level are successful, and whether the UDHR adequately responds to threats as currently defined by relevant groups or whether a revision of some of the ideas included in the UDHR is needed in order to increase its contemporary relevance.
Ciudad glocal
En el marco de la colección Ciudad 2030, esta obra reflexiona sobre la ciudad glocal, resultado de las convergencias y divergencias generadas por la globalización y la localización de la vida en las ciudades, territorios y comunidades. Dos tendencias que se entremezclan y que comprometen un desarrollo más humano y sostenible —en términos medioambientales, económicos, sociales y culturales— y una gobernanza más democrática. Desde diferentes perspectivas, en esta obra colectiva, se abordan los desequilibrios y desajustes entre lo global y lo local. La primera parte aborda los avances y retrocesos en el urbanismo y el medioambiente en la búsqueda de dicho desarrollo y gobernanza, e...
Negotiating Peace in El Salvador
Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Cold War world, this monograph draws on entirely new documentary evidence to chronicle almost two years worth of UN-led peace talks to end the civil war in El Salvador. Presented in 'moment-to-moment' fashion, hitherto private notes and interviews with the chief UN, American and Salvadoran negotiators demonstrate that the key to enduring peace was to restructure relations between the country's powerful entrepreneurs and the armed forces.
