Íntimos
Su hambre espiritual comenzó temprano, y no fueron pocas sus decepciones en esa búsqueda. Durante años, Eduardo Villegas levantaría piedra tras piedra en su intento de rasgar el velo entre lo terrenal y lo espiritual. Su corazón rebelde rechazaba la religión dogmática y aburrida mientras idealizaba la libertad del budismo y la Nueva Era. Años después, en una pequeña iglesia descubriría que la verdad no es solo espiritual sino Escritural; que no es una idea sino una Persona, y que su nombre es Jesús. Desde entonces no cesa de crecer en esa comunión íntima y en su pasión por guiar a otros a alcanzarla. Eduardo ha trabajado en el mundo corporativo en diversos países por más de veinte años y más recientemente fungió como Pastor de Operaciones en una Mega Iglesia en Nueva Jersey. Ha publicado también otros seis libros, tres de ellos traducidos al inglés.
Constitutional Origin and Norm Creation in Colombia
This book explains the growing empowerment of the Colombian Constitutional Court in the early years of the 21st century and develops the concept of the deliberative judge. Taking the case of the Colombian Constitutional Court and drawing on neoinstitutional theory to explain the relationship between political crisis and institutional reforms, the book challenges the notion of rational choice institutionalism that agents act strategically. It indicates the limits of path dependence and argues instead that discursive institutionalism is the most appropriate method for analyzing processes of institutional learning. Combining theoretical and empirical research, it builds the argument that judicial independence promotes the case for deliberative democracy over rational choice or strategic action approaches. Finally, the book suggests that by introducing communicative and cognitive variables in our understanding of key actors and processes, we are more capable of bridging institutional origin and legacy. The work will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and policy-makers in Constitutional Law, Constitutional Politics, and Constitutional History.
Fighting Monsters in the Abyss
Studies the complex constraints and trade-offs the second administration of Colombian President Uribe (2006–2010) encountered as it attempted to resolve that nation’s violent Marxist insurrection and to have a more efficient judicial system Fighting Monsters in the Abyss offers a deeply insightful analysis of the efforts by the second administration of Colombian President Álvaro Uribe Vélez (2006–2010) to resolve a decades-long Marxist insurgency in one of Latin America’s most important nations. Continuing work from his prior books about earlier Colombian presidents and yet written as a stand-alone study, Colombia expert Harvey F. Kline illuminates the surprising successes and setb...

Right-Wing Populism in Latin America and Beyond
With contributions from 22 scholars and empirical material from 29 countries within and beyond Latin America, this book identifies subtypes of populism to further understand right-wing populist movements, parties, leaders, and governments. It seeks to examine whether the term populism continues to have any validity and what relationship(s) it has to democracy. Part 1 is an exploration of populism as an analytical concept. It asks how populism can and should be defined; whether populism can be broken down into subtypes; and whether the use of the term within and beyond Latin America in recent scholarship has been consistent. Part 2 focuses on political economy, and specifically whether politi...
Violence, Coercion, and State-Making in Twentieth-Century Mexico
Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of law. This is the first book to put these developments in the context of post-revolutionary state-making in Mexico and to show that violence in Mexico is not the result of state failure, but of state-making. While most accounts of politics and the state in recent decades have emphasized processes of transition, institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and coercion by a range of state and non-state armed actors. Moreover, by going beyond the immediate concerns of contemporary Mexico,...
