Barcelona
This fully illustrated, edited volume brings together fresh insights into the changing urban space of Barcelona from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. The volume will contribute to the excavation of the avantgarde in Barcelona, as well as its legacy in the post-war period, although its primary focus will be on the relationship between environment, identity and performance as explored by countercultural artists and communities from the 1960s to the present day.
Poems and Poegrams
POEMS & POEGRAMAS / POEMS & POEGRAMS is an anthology of some of Gustavo Vega's different poetic forms. We say some and not all because in a printed publication like this one, we can't include Vega's multimedia creations like hisvideo poems. Also absent from these pages are examples of his poetic creations of a performance nature: the action poem, the sound poetry and the phonetic poetry.This anthology is divided into five parts. The first two can be seen essentially as a sample of Vega's literary work, his purely textual poetry.In the first section, the "A," entitled Decir(te) ... / To tell (you) ... we find different poetic texts that correspond to the book of the same title. While in secti...

The Ecuador Reader
Encompassing Amazonian rainforests, Andean peaks, coastal lowlands, and the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador’s geography is notably diverse. So too are its history, culture, and politics, all of which are examined from many perspectives in The Ecuador Reader. Spanning the years before the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s to the present, this rich anthology addresses colonialism, independence, the nation’s integration into the world economy, and its tumultuous twentieth century.

The voices and creations of Ecuadorian politicians, writers, artists, scholars, activists, and journalists fill the Reader, f...
NAFTA in Transition
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic, social, cultural and political dimensions of the evolving trilateral relationship among the three countries of North America. Contributors address such topics as energy, the environment, trade, labour, the maquiladora industrial sector of Mexico, the Mexican auto industry, and Canada - U.S. cultural relations.While other publications have focused on U.S. issues, this one emphasizes Canada and Mexico, yet adds significantly to our understanding of the place of the United States in this evolving trilateral relationship.
Mexico's Private Sector
This text examines the responses to the challenges imposed by reforms in Mexico's economic and political systems, and the international economic community for transparent and fair business dealings. Weighing goals of economic reform against its results, prospects for further reforms are evaluated.
The Rebordering of North America
The U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders are the two busiest land crossings in the world. Canada and the United States are each other's largest trading partners and Mexico is America's second largest trading partner with trade between the two nations more than tripling since the start of NAFTA. The many immediate ripple effects of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon included a dramatic tightening of North American border controls and a hardening of the policy discourse about cross-border flows. This is the first book that explores the implications of September 11th and the new war on terrorism for border controls, cross-border relations, and economic integration in North America. The volume makes a unique contribution to important scholarly and policy discussions over the meaning and management of borders in an increasingly borderless (regional and global) economy, and adds fuel to broader debates over the changing nature of borders and territorial politics in a radically transformed security environment.
Capacity for Choice
Examines North American integration and its potential future impact on Canadian life in eight areas: trade, the labour market, the brain drain, macroeconomics, federalism, social welfare, the environment, and culture.
Regional Integration and Democracy
This work explores the interrelationship between democracy and regional integration. Although centred in Europe, the volume shifts terms of discussion on integration and democracy by including case studies outside of Europe. It also analyzes the European Union's democratic deficit, the impact of regional integration of national democracy, and the dynamic interactions between democracy and integration elsewhere in the world.
