This book focuses on current frontier-related issues such as humanitarian crises, economic crises, discrimination of migrants in certain countries, different typologies of borders such as land, maritime, air, space, and even cyberspace borders, and environmental protection of water resources at borders. It addresses legal and theoretical considerations and presents empirical cases showing the manifestations of the concept in the real world and its dynamics. Without claiming to exhaust the debate on frontiers, especially given the breadth of the subject and the large number of viewpoints from which the phenomenon can be examined, this book intends to be a helpful source of insights for academics, university students, and others who wish to explore the complex and multifaceted worlds that emerge, particularly in a globalized society, from the interaction between the various actors and scenarios that shape the reality of frontiers.
En el trabajo describe y estudia la globalización (mondialisation) como proceso real, coteja las teorías y el accionar político de los actores principales, dándole importancia a la geografía de la globalización económica y a las decisiones que surgen con el multilateralismo y el regionalismo; analiza, además, la globalización financiera y monetaria, insistiendo en los procesos de volatilidad, especulación, vulnerabilidad y contagio.
El libro Globalización financiera: banca, regulación y crisis, escrito por el profesor Beethoven Herrera Valencia, plantea temas. de indudable vigencia e interés académico y de política pública. El abordaje que el autor propone de la historia de los centros financieros mundiales, las experiencias de las crisis y del proceso de regulación, junto con la valoración de la pertinencia de las políticas que las instituciones multilaterales exigen como condición para el otorgamiento de los créditos, coinciden con un clima muy extendido de inquietudes respecto de esos tópicos. Además, la reciente crisis hipotecaria de Estados Unidos y sus implicaciones anivel mundial, lo mismo que los se...
Hay diversos estudios sobre la implementación de reformas democráticas en áreas urbanas, en lugares del mundo donde la presencia del Estado es más fuerte o en contextos donde los movimientos sociales de grupos subordinados no son fuertes ni autónomos. En contraposición, este estudio examina la adopción de reformas democráticas y de descentralización, así como la posterior reacción violenta y la contrarreforma, en zonas rurales donde existe una débil presencia del Estado y donde hay movimientos sociales fuertes y grupos armados insurgentes de izquierda. En las zonas estudiadas —Urabá, el Medio y Bajo Caguán y Arauca—, los principales movimientos sociales corresponden a movim...

Linking the evidence of the past with that of the present, this exquisitely illustrated guide examines the evolution of the mammalian fauna of Africa within the context of dramatic changes over the course of more than 30 million years of primate presence. The book covers such topics as dating, continental drift, climate change, and both the physical evolution of the African continent and the biological evolution of its mammalian fauna.Restorations of the musculature of mammals and their appearance take into account the affinities between fossil forms and extant species in order to make well-founded inferences about unpreserved animal attributes. Environmental reconstructions benefit from the authors' visits to more than a dozen wildlife preserves in five African countries as well as the use of an extensive database of published studies on the evolution of landscapes on the continent. A detailed and engaging volume, Evolving Eden discusses human evolution as a part of the larger pattern of mammalian evolution while responding to the unique interest that we have for our own past.
