Regional Integration, Development, and Governance in Mesoamerica
This book provides an overview of governance and development in the Mesoamerican Region (MAR), the design and scope of the Plan Puebla Panamá (PPP), its relationship to pre-existing regional organisms and its transformation into Proyecto Mesoamérica. The PPP was introduced as a holistic project that would reverse the cycles of poverty in Mesoamerica. However, the plan incited huge opposition from many groups within Mesoamerica, and throughout its duration few of its objectives were met. The author analyses the plan and describes the regional setting and precursors, as well as the US policy towards the Mesoamerican countries. Using this approach with an analysis of governance in Mesoamerica, this monograph shows a more complete picture of why this ambitious development project did not reach its goals and draws applicable insights to other regions where governance is complex.
Global Perspectives on Decolonizing Postgraduate Education
A deep-seated issue persists in postgraduate education—one that threatens the relevance of academia in our diverse and evolving world. The problem at hand is the Western-centric nature of postgraduate education, where research paradigms, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks overwhelmingly reflect a Western worldview. This rigid adherence to Western ideologies has left indigenous communities on the periphery of academic discourse, denying them the opportunity to engage with their knowledge systems and practices. Despite the richness and prevalence of indigenous knowledge, the existing educational structure remains a barrier to their inclusion. This disconnect is not only an academic co...

Lectura crítica del Plan Puebla Panamá
El proyecto, que apoyan los gobiernos de la región y un grupo de inversores ?empresas farmacéuticas, monopolios petroleros, maquiladoras, fabricantes de armamentos, entre otras?, se completa con la privatización de los recursos públicos presentes en la zona. Intenta, en definitiva, servir de puente entre otros acuerdos que persiguen el enajenamiento de todos los espacios económicos de América Latina, como son el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) y el Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA). En la región, mientras tanto, reaparecen fuerzas militares y paramilitares. Algunas de ellas se alían al narcotráfico. Otras, a los hacendados que encuentran en el Plan Puebla Panamá una nueva oportunidad para hacer negocios a costa de las tierras campesinas y de las cooperativas surgidas en la época de la guerra y posguerra. El panorama es complejo. Por eso, el Dr. Salazar y el Dr. Sandoval Forero ?prestigiosos intelectuales de reconocida trayectoria en las ciencias sociales? han reunido a rigurosos investigadores para analizar las consecuencias del Plan Puebla Panamá en profundidad.

Death in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times
Death is not only the final moment of life, it also casts a huge shadow on human society at large. People throughout time have had to cope with death as an existential experience, and this also, of course, in the premodern world. The contributors to the present volume examine the material and spiritual conditions of the culture of death, studying specific buildings and spaces, literary works and art objects, theatrical performances, and medical tracts from the early Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century. Death has always evoked fear, terror, and awe, it has puzzled and troubled people, forcing theologians and philosophers to respond and provide answers for questions that seem to evade r...

Democracias En Riesgo En America Latina
El saldo de las transiciones democráticas en Latinoamérica es aún alto y costoso, dado que son los nudos de resistencia que detienen el vehículo democratizador que transita por al ancho cuerpo de subcontinente.Los enclaves actorales, el ethos de la distorsionada cultura política, el déficit en las virtudes cívicas, la intolerancia para aceptar al otro, el secuestro de los espacios públicos y la falta de ética de los medios de comunicación para analizar los asuntos públicos, son factores que a simple vista parecen insignificantes, pero que en la práctica de la democracia, se erigen como los atlantes que impiden todo paso hacia la meta.Estos enclaves se observan en los actores inte...
