Drug Trafficking, Organized Crime, and Violence in the Americas Today
"An extensive overview of the drug trade in the Americas and its impact on politics, economics, and society throughout the region. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice "A first-rate update on the state of the long-fought hemispheric 'war on drugs.' It is particularly timely, as the perception that the war is lost and needs to be changed has never been stronger in Latin and North America."--Paul Gootenberg, author of Andean Cocaine: The Making of a Global Drug "A must-read volume for policy makers, concerned citizens, and students alike in the current search for new approaches to forty-year-old policies largely considered to have failed."--David Scott Palmer, coauthor of Power, Institutions, an...
América Latina y el Caribe: Vínculos globales en un contexto multilateral complejo
América Latina y el Caribe es una región diversa y heterogénea en un mundo en mutación. Las formas y tipos de inserción internacional de sus países responden a miradas político estratégicas distintas y eso se refleja en sus relaciones con otras regiones del mundo. La asociación para la cooperación aparece como una demanda efectiva para satisfacer los intereses nacionales y regionales tanto en la Unión Europea como en América Latina y el Caribe. Esa cooperación requiere establecer vínculos entre los diversos foros y procesos de coordinación, cooperación e integración multilateral, regional y birregional dentro de una lógica de gobernanza multinivel acorde con los cambios que...
Latin American Democracy
Nearly thirty years have passed since Latin America began the arduous task of transitioning from military-led rule to democracy. In this time, more countries have moved toward the institutional bases of democracy than at any time in the region’s history. Nearly all countries have held free, competitive elections and most have had peaceful alternations in power between opposing political forces. Despite these advances, however, Latin American countries continue to face serious domestic and international challenges to the consolidation of stable democratic governance. The challenges range from weak political institutions, corruption, legacies of militarism, transnational crime and globalization among others. In Latin American Democracy contributors – both academics and practitioners, North Americans and Latin Americans – explore and assess the state of democratic consolidation in Latin America by focusing on the specific issues and challenges confronting democratic governance in the region.
The Security Governance of Regional Organizations
The Security Governance of Regional Organizations assesses the effectiveness of regional organizations as regional or global security providers, and examines how policy preferences, resources, capabilities, institutional mechanisms and economic and political cohesion link with collective action behaviour in four security policy functions.

Divided into three parts and using a common analytical framework, the book explains the changing security agenda in ten key regional organizations, each organizational chapter: identifies the na...

The Rise of Post-Hegemonic Regionalism
This book offers a timely analysis, and a novel and nuanced argument about post-neoliberal models of regional governance in non-European contexts. It provides the first in-depth, empirically-driven analysis of current models of regional governance in Latin America that emerged out of the crisis of liberalism in the region. It contributes to comparative studies of the contemporary global political economy as it advances current literature on the topic by analysing distinctive, overlapping and conflicting trajectories of regionalism in Latin America. The book critically explores models of transformative regionalism and specific dimensions articulating those models beyond neoliberal consensus-b...
América Latina y el Caribe
Los migrantes hoy en día están más implicados de forma sustantiva y directa en diferentes actividades económicas y sociales con sus países de origen. Esto es debido, en parte, a la dinámica de la globalización y a las nuevas oportunidades resultantes de la apertura política y económica de las sociedades en su hogar. Las remesas poseen un efecto sobre las finanzas, y por ende sobre la economía y el desarrollo y además dentro de un contexto competitivo buscan aumentar la disponibilidad de ingresos mediante el ahorro y el gasto. Al aumentar el ahorro, la remesa influye sobre la capacidad de generación de activos, de manera que crea posibilidades para el ahorro mismo y la inversión ...
