América Latina
Entre 2015 y 2020, América Latina ha tenido que lidiar con la desaceleración económica de los modelos neoextractivistas, el estancamiento de la reducción de la pobreza y de la desigualdad, la creciente rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y China, además de la cada vez mayor insatisfacción de la sociedad civil con las promesas de las democracias -con frecuentes derivas autocráticas-, que han sido minadas por la corrupción o por la violencia. Con este pasado reciente en mente, este libro ofrece los aportes de veintitrés académicos de varios rincones del continente que identifican ciclos y entreciclos socioeconómicos y políticos, para entender los resultados y los desafíos de una modernización regional inacabada. El primer cuarto del siglo xxI finaliza con el agotamiento de la ola rosa, el descrédito de las promesas de las nuevas derechas o las vías intermedias y, principalmente, con una pandemia que fuerza a reformular el lugar de América Latina en el mundo y viceversa, mediante la puesta a prueba de herencias y proyectos compartidos
Ecological Democracy

He outlines a dramatic revitalized participatory democracy--which includes community control of finances, a social wage, cooperative econoies, demilitarization, and a solar transition--and shows how to get there from here.

Gobernanza multidimensional
Este libro presenta los resultados obtenidos en el desarrollo de la investigación: Expresiones de la violencia , análisis narrativo de la figura de Laureano Gómez Castro, de la Facultad de Comunicación Social de la Universidad Santo Tomás, la cual centró su objetivo en estudiar las narraciones y los sentidos que en torno a la figura de este controvertido líder político conservador se configuran en distintas materialidades mediáticas: audiovisuales, discursos, cómics y textos periodísticos, literarios y eclesiásticos. Uno de los principales protagonistas de la hegemonía política que en el siglo XX desplegó una espiral de violencia que aún marca la historia política y social de Colombia.
Making Public Places Safer
The United Kingdom has more than 4.2 million public closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras-one for every fourteen citizens. Across the United States, hundreds of video surveillance systems are being installed in town centers, public transportation facilities, and schools at a cost exceeding $100 million annually. And now other Western countries have begun to experiment with CCTV to prevent crime in public places. In light of this expansion and the associated public expenditure, as well as pressing concerns about privacy rights, there is an acute need for an evidence-based approach to inform policy and practice. Drawing on the highest-quality research, criminologists Brandon C. Welsh and Da...
The Democratic Coup D'état
The Democratic Coup d'État advances a simple, yet controversial, argument: democracy sometimes comes through a military coup. Covering coups that toppled dictators and installed democratic rule in countries as diverse as Guinea-Bissau, Portugal, and Colombia, the book weaves a balanced narrative that challenges everything we knew about military coups.
