The second-largest economy in Latin America, Mexico seems poised to enter a new growth phase as the government of Enrique Peña Nieto implements radical changes in a number of sectors across the economy. The reforms, aimed at raising the competitiveness of the Mexican economy, have the potential to establish Mexico’s position as a regional powerhouse. Optimism surrounding the recent wave of reforms, coupled with a stable macroeconomic environment and an improved credit rating from international agencies, has placed Mexico centre-stage. Despite slower than anticipated growth of 1.1% in 2013, a wave of reforms affecting a range of sectors is expected to bring a new dynamism to the economy an...
La reforma en materia de telecomunicaciones constituye un análisis detallado y fáctico del sector de telecomunicaciones en México que enmarca la evolución y los puntos de discontinuidad. Se usan tres hitos en el análisis: la privatización de Telmex, la Ley Federal de Telecomunicaciones de 1995 y la Reforma Constitucional en Materia de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusión de 2013. En el texto vemos que el sector de telecomunicaciones mexicano está avanzando en sincronía con el resto del mundo. No estamos retrocediendo, pero tampoco lo estábamos haciendo con la estructura institucional anterior. Sin embargo, haber conseguido una relativa discontinuidad en el nivel de inversión, condición necesaria para contar con un sector de telecomunicaciones acorde a nuestro país, da esperanza de que la Reforma sea juzgada por la historia como un éxito al haber conseguido sus objetivos de manera sustentable en el largo plazo.
Esta serie de cuatro volúmenes analiza las Reformas Estructurales desde varios puntos de vista: la del protagonista que desde el propio órgano estatal preparó y puso en práctica la reforma, y la de dos académicos que desde las perspectivas nacional e internacional desmenuzan el contexto, la puesta en marcha y los retos que conlleva cada una de estas Reformas. El presente volumen aborda la reforma laboral, la reforma en materia de telecomunicaciones, la reforma energética (hidrocarburos y electricidad, respectivamente), y la reforma en materia de competencia económica.

Over the past 50 years, scholars across the social sciences have employed critical juncture analysis to understand how social orders are created, become entrenched, and change. In this book, leading scholars from several disciplines offer the first coordinated effort to define this field of research, assess its theoretical and methodological foundations, and use a critical assessment of current practices as a basis for guiding its future. Contributors include stars in this field who have written some of the classic works on critical junctures, as well as the rising stars of the next generation who will continue to shape historical comparative analysis for years to come. Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies will be an indispensable resource for social science research methods scholars and students.
What is innovation and how should it be measured? Understanding the scale of innovation activities, the characteristics of innovative firms and the internal and systemic factors that can influence innovation is a prerequisite for the pursuit and analysis of policies aimed at fostering innovation.
Denial of justice is one of the oldest bases of liability in international law and the modern understanding of denial of justice is examined by Paulsson in this book, which was originally published in 2005. The possibilities for prosecuting the offence of denial of justice have evolved in fundamental ways and it is now settled law that States cannot disavow international responsibility by arguing that their courts are independent of the government. Even more importantly, the doors of international tribunals have swung wide open to admit claimants other than states: non-governmental organisations, corporations and individuals, and Paulsson examines several recent cases of great importance in his book.
This landmark collection of illustrated essays explores the vastly underappreciated history of America's other cities -- the great metropolises found south of our borders in Central and South America. Buenos Aires, So Paulo, Mexico City, Caracas, Havana, Santiago, Rio, Tijuana, and Quito are just some of the subjects of this diverse collection. How have desires to create modern societies shaped these cities, leading to both architectural masterworks (by the likes of Luis Barragn, Juan O'Gorman, Lcio Costa, Roberto Burle Marx, Carlos Ral Villanueva, and Lina Bo Bardi) and the most shocking favelas? How have they grappled with concepts of national identity, their colonial history, and the cont...
