Los Evangelios testimonian que Jesús no estuvo ajeno a las ciudades. Al contrario, en ellas desarrolló diversas actividades relacionadas con el Reino de Dios como horizonte de plenitud urbano. Por eso es tan importante ver si el mundo urbano de hoy podría ser escenario de revelaciones de lo que Dios quiere para la ciudad. Este libro brinda una aproximación a esta búsqueda. ¿Son nuestras ciudades lugares de morada de Dios o lugares de ausencia y rechazo del proyecto divino para ellas? Si es lo primero, ¿qué significa eso? Y si lo que impera es lo segundo, ¿qué nos interpela? Este estudio hace un recorrido por la Biblia buscando signos de presencia y ausencia de Dios en las ciudades.
Este libro expone uno de los temas de investigación más frecuentes en la última década en el ámbito educativo y escolar: la sistematización de experiencias. Esta metodología estructura la reflexión y construcción de los saberes pedagógicos situados, y ha permitido rescatar y resignificar las vivencias de los actores del entramado escolar, con base tanto en constructos y deducciones teóricas como en las subjetividades, sentidos y abordajes de las vivencias de estos actores. Pretende visibilizar los trayectos de la sistematización de experiencias en su consolidación como apuesta epistémica, metodológica, ética y política, para la producción de conocimiento en escenarios académicos.

Since the Mexican government initiated a military offensive against its country’s powerful drug cartels in December 2006, some 50,000 people have perished and the drugs continue to flow. In The Fire Next Door, Ted Galen Carpenter boldly conveys the growing horror overtaking Mexico and makes the case that the only effective strategy for the United States is to abandon its failed drug prohibition policy, thus depriving drug cartels of financial resources.
The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
