Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 77
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the most comprehensive annual bibliography in Latin American Studies. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas. Subject categories for the Social Sciences editions include anthropology; geography; government and politics; international relations; political economy; and sociology.
La cuenca hidrográfica como unidad de gestión del agua
El presente libro está dividido en cinco capítulos con los cuales se pretende mostrar tanto el contexto de la gestión del agua en Colombia como la caracterización de las formas de organización social para su implementación en cuencas hidrográficas. Los capítulos uno y dos presentan componentes de contexto considerados importantes para entender las formas de organización social en la gestión del agua, es decir, aspectos institucionales y normativos y la oferta de instrumentos de gestión y participación asociados a la gestión del agua.

Geografía rural latinoamericana
O livro é fruto do convênio entre a UERJ e a Universidade Nacional da Costa Rica (UNA), com o objetivo de trazer a público a dinâmica dos estudos no âmbito da geografia rural da região latino-americana. As abordagens da relação entre campo e cidade na América Latina ganharam novos contornos a partir da tendência dos espaços rurais de se desenvolverem também na área do turismo, agronegócios, agroindústrias rurais e em outros serviços, sem se restringirem a atividades agrícolas. Esse panorama afetou o cenário do campo e o espaço urbano, ocasionando diferentes critérios teóricos e metodológicos de pesquisa acadêmica, assim como a descoberta de novos objetos de estudo, revelados nesta coletânea. A publicação integra pesquisadores dos países da América Latina, e o conjunto de capítulos evidencia a diversidade e a relevância dos estudos realizados.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.

A special feature is the wide ranging and detailed bibliography. Suitable for students of geography, sociology, town and country planning.
