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...
Venezuela
El peligro del quiebre institucional y el recrudecimiento de la violencia no está ausente, se mantiene latente y en tránsito manifiesto en la medida en que los actores en conflicto no encauzan sus diferencias hacia un diálogo nacional. El espectro político se torna más complejo y las fuerzas intervencionistas foráneas justifican sus acciones en pro de la mal argumentada guerra contra el terrorismo. La crisis tiene una naturaleza social y política, mas no un tinte pro cubano ni de cambio hacia el socialismo. Lo que sí está demostrado es el agotamiento del modelo político que no funciona para las exigencias y necesidades de la sociedad venezolana contemporánea: los partidos políticos tienen una estructura organizacional piramidal, excluyente de la participación ciudadana y las instituciones están avaladas por decretos jurídicos, sustentados por la fuerza o la coerción.
In the Vortex of Violence
In the Vortex of Violence examines the uncharted history of lynching in post-revolutionary Mexico. Based on a collection of previously untapped sources, the book examines why lynching became a persistent practice during a period otherwise characterized by political stability and decreasing levels of violence. It explores how state formation processes, as well as religion, perceptions of crime, and mythical beliefs, contributed to shaping people’s understanding of lynching as a legitimate form of justice. Extending the history of lynching beyond the United States, this book offers key insights into the cultural, historical, and political reasons behind the violent phenomenon and its continued practice in Latin America today.
Hemispheric Indigeneities
Hemispheric Indigeneities is a critical anthology that brings together indigenous and nonindigenous scholars specializing in the Andes, Mesoamerica, and Canada. The overarching theme is the changing understanding of indigeneity from first contact to the contemporary period in three of the world’s major regions of indigenous peoples. Although the terms indio, indigène, and indian only exist (in Spanish, French, and English, respectively) because of European conquest and colonization, indigenous peoples have appropriated or changed this terminology in ways that reflect their shifting self-identifications and aspirations. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, this process constantly tran...

Redes e imaginario del exilio en México y América Latina
Nos referimos al período de entreguerras del siglo XX y a su onda expansiva de autoritarismo y exclusión. Melgar Bao analiza la porosidad de los espacios públicos nacionales desde el tejido (no siempre visible) de redes intelectuales y políticas transfronterizas, a fin de develar la trama subyacente de confrontación entre quienes detentan el poder y los opositores llevados al destierro, la clandestinidad y la cárcel. México resulta el país refugio de la mayoría de los exilios políticos, que van desde las corrientes y organizaciones socialistas (estalinistas o no), hasta las filiadas como populistas o nacionalistas radicales. Desde el México de Lázaro Cárdenas, el autor relata co...
