Panoramic Colombia
No country in the world enjoys greater geographical variety than Colombia. And as in so many places, the country's political jurisdictions, drawn up arbitrarly, have little relation to natural or human boundaries. Here, then, we look beyond man-made frontiers at the rich mixture of landscape, people and cultures which make up present-day Colombia. The photographs which illustrate Panoramic Colombia have been taken by a Roundshot 360º camara which revolves so as to take in everything anyone might observe by standing still and slowly turning full circle. The effect is to place the viewers at the very centre of the picture. In fact, the book's intention is to take it's stcance at the heart of each event (or scene) depicted here, as a silent manent witness to what is taking place. Earth and water mingle there. So does Man and the sky above him.
Presidential Impeachment and the New Political Instability in Latin America
Documents the emergence of a pattern of political instability in Latin America. Traditional military coups have receded in the region, but elected presidents are still ousted from power as a result of recurrent crises. Aníbal Pérez-Liñán shows that presidential impeachment has become the main constitutional instrument employed by civilian elites to depose unpopular rulers. Based on detailed comparative research in five countries and extensive historical information, the book explains why crises without breakdown have become the dominant form of instability in recent years and why some presidents are removed from office while others survive in power. The analysis emphasizes the erosion of presidential approval resulting from corruption and unpopular policies, the formation of hostile coalitions in Congress, and the role of investigative journalism. This book challenges classic assumptions in studies of presidentialism and provides important insights for the fields of political communication, democratization, political behaviour, and institutional analysis.
