Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2016 provides a tool for policy makers to identify and analyze legal barriers for the business of agriculture and to quantify transaction costs of dealing with government regulations. Building on an earlier progress report published in November 2014, this volume presents the main results for 40 countries, for the first time using indicator scores to showcase good practices among countries in different stages of agricultural development. It also presents interesting results on the relationship between efficiency and quality of regulations, discriminatory practices in the laws, and whether regulatory information is accessible. Regional, income-group, and country-specific trends and data observations are presented on six topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, and transport. The report also discusses the continued development of several topics that will be added in future reports: information and communication technology, land, water, livestock, gender, and environmental sustainability.
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2017, the third report in the series, offers insights into how laws and regulations affect private sector development for agribusinesses, including producer organizations and other agricultural entrepreneurs. Globally comparable data and scored indicators encourage regulations that ensure the safety and quality of agricultural inputs, goods and services but are not too costly or burdensome. The goal is to facilitate the operation of agribusinesses and allow them to thrive in a socially and environmentally responsible way, enabling them to provide essential agricultural inputs and services to farmers that could increase their productivity and profits. Regional, income-group and country-specific trends and data observations are presented for 62 countries and across 12 topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, transport, water, ICT, land, livestock, environmental sustainability and gender. Data are current as of June 30, 2016. For more information, please see http://eba.worldbank.org
Conmemorando los cuarenta años del Departamento de Derecho Procesal de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, su observatorio constitucional de normas procesales presenta este libro —que forma parte de una colección de cuatro tomos— con el fin de contribuir al entendimiento de las grandes transformaciones que ha sufrido el derecho procesal en el país durante las últimas décadas. En esta obra se realiza un estudio de la jurisprudencia constitucional, la cual se ha convertido en una herramienta esencial para interpretar y aplicar el régimen probatorio. La Constitución Política de 1991 implicó, en muchos casos, un nuevo entendimiento de las garantías probatorias, con impacto en todas las ramas del derecho.

Luego de veinticinco años de ofrecer a la comunidad jurídica obras colectivas de investigación monográfica, que han marcado, año tras año, la doctrina administrativista, la escuela de Derecho Administrativo de la Universidad Externado de Colombia presenta la obra Régimen jurídico de los agentes estatales, en tres tomos. Es un estudio completo de los aspectos más importantes del derecho administrativo laboral y de las distintas responsabilidades en las que pueden incurrir los agentes del Estado: sancionatoria y patrimonial. En el tomo III se aborda la responsabilidad patrimonial del personal a cargo del Estado: por una parte, la responsabilidad fiscal y, por la otra, los mecanismos para obtener el reembolso por las condenas, conciliaciones u otros re- conocimientos de la responsabilidad del Estado: la acción de repetición o de regreso y el llamamiento en garantía. También se estudia la posibilidad de ejercer la acción de reparación directa por actos de corrupción. Se trata de una obra profunda, novedosa y actual, que pone de presente la importancia de proteger eficazmente el patrimonio público, como un objetivo imperativo y de interés general
