Crises and Migration
This book critically examines the association between the notions of crisis and migration in the context of Latin America, and from three different perspectives: first, it analyzes the discourses based on the concept of crisis employed by the media, academic researchers, civil society organizations and the state to frame human mobility issues; second, it investigates migrants’ agency under conditions of crisis; and third, it discusses whether “migration crisis” is a conjunctural or structural phenomenon in the region. Chapters in this contributed volume investigate the crisis-migration nexus in seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragu...
The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law
The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law analyses how lawyers representing refugees use human rights provisions in national constitutions to close the gap between the Law and its implementation. The book examines how laws are adapted to suit social, political, and legal contexts, focusing on Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, Uganda, and the US.
Dimensiones de la migración en Colombia.
Colombia, al igual que casi todos los países de América, es un país que tiene una larga historia de migración. Comprender sus movimientos de población nos enseña un poco de su carácter, sus alegrías y sus dolores. Analizar y revisar las migraciones, es decir, cómo la gente se mueve y por qué, dará mayores argumentos para pensar en cómo es la identidad de un territorio, cómo y por qué se producen los cambios en su población. Pensar Colombia y sus migraciones es pensar su propia idiosincrasia, buscando los caminos que llevan a mirar hacia donde la diversidad y las relaciones interculturales empujadas por las migraciones permiten dialogar y cohesionar el territorio, en donde las diferencias se vuelcan a la unidad y el país avanza y genera creatividad, ya que las personas llevan consigo ideas que viajan junto a sus maletas, encontrándose conexiones y nuevas formas de ver el mundo, el país y a sus ciudadanos.
Historical and Future Global Impacts of Armed Groups and Social Movements: Emerging Research and Opportunities
Resistance movements to economic measures and militaristic policies have been increasing in Latin America and the Caribbean since the 1960s. Indigenous and peasant movements are advancing against the exploitation of their territories by mining, oil, and other companies, as well as movements of migrants, women, and other popular rural and urban sectors. Historical and Future Global Impacts of Armed Groups and Social Movements: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential scholarly publication that examines resistance and alternative movements that protest existing government systems and political injustice. Featuring a wide range of topics such as neoliberalism, social movement, and dictatorship, this book is ideal for politicians, historians, diplomats, sociologists, international relations officers, policymakers, researchers, professionals, government officials, academicians, and students.
The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...

Refugee Economies
Refugees have rarely been studied by economists. Despite some pioneering research on the economic lives of refugees, there remains a lack of theory and empirical data through which to understand, and build upon, refugees' own engagement with markets. Yet, understanding these economic systems may hold the key to rethinking our entire approach to refugee assistance. If we can improve our knowledge of the resource allocation systems that shape refugees' lives and opportunities, then we may be able to understand the mechanisms through which these market-based systems can be made to work better and turn humanitarian challenges into sustainable opportunities. This book adopts an inter-disciplinary...
