Integración latinoamericana en tiempos de incertidumbre
El presente libro está compuesto de ocho capítulos que discuten los temas más urgentes que afectan a nuestra región. En este duodécimo tomo de la colección Gridale, los investigadores dieron continuidad a la misión del grupo y realizaron análisis que van desde cuestiones prácticas como las fronteras, la educación superior, la crisis venezolana, la migración y los impactos de la pandemia de covid-19, hasta cuestiones normativas sobre la construcción de una identidad integracionista común. En un escenario regional fragmentado, este tomo reflexiona sobre posibles puntos de convergencia para propiciar una integración dinámica que supere nacionalismos estrechos y acompañe estos desafiantes tiempos.
De cara al futuro de la integración latinoamericana
La necesidad de superar la polarización político-ideológica en la región, establecer vínculos con otras regiones, contribuir en conjunto a la gobernanza global y definir una institucionalidad propia desde distintos modelos de desarrollo constituyen temas centrales de la integración regional latinoamericana en el siglo xxi, los cuales necesitan ser discutidos y comprendidos para poder enfrentar el futuro. Los autores del presente tomo reflexionan acerca de estos temas en siete capítulos resultado de trabajos presentados en el II Congreso Internacional del Grupo de Reflexión sobre Integración y Desarrollo en América Latina y Europa (Gridale), realizado en Buenos Aires, Argentina (mar...
Redefining Development
In 2015, Old Fadama, the largest informal community in Accra, was a government 'no-go zone.' Armed guards accompanied a participatory action research team and stakeholders as they began an empirical research project. Their goals: resolve wicked problems, advance collaboration theory, and provide direct services to vulnerable beneficiaries. In three years, they designed a collaboration intervention based on rigorous evidence, Ghana's culture and data from 300 core stakeholders. Sanitation policy change transformed the community, and government began to collaborate freely. By 2022, the intervention was replicated in Accra, Kumasi and eleven rural communities, providing health services to more than 10,000 kayayei (women head porters) and addressing complex challenges for 15,000 direct and hundreds of thousands of indirect beneficiaries. This collaboration intervention improved community participation, changed policy, and redefined development in theory and practice. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
The New Power Politics
Traditional analyses of global security cannot explain the degree to which there is "governance" of important security issues -- from combatting piracy to curtailing nuclear proliferation to reducing the contributions of extractive industries to violence and conflict. They are even less able to explain why contemporary governance schemes involve the various actors and take the many forms they do. Juxtaposing the insights of scholars writing about new modes of governance with the logic of network theory, The New Power Politics offers a framework for understanding contemporary security governance and its variation. The framework rests on a fresh view of power and how it works in global politic...

Proximity, Distance and Diversity
Bringing together a wide range of empirical studies from around the world (Sweden, Norway, Austria, Germany, France, UK, Israel, Russia, China, Taiwan, Argentina, Canada), framed in related contemporary theoretical frameworks, this book examines the question of the significance of proximate vs. more distant relationships for economic agents' performance and local economic development. While this question has been the subject of intense debates in recent years, it is obvious that proximity and distance are not explanatory factors as such. The book argues for the need to understand the aims of economic relationships, the nature of the regional environment in which they originate, and the scale at which they operate. The book suggests that the notions of diversity, innovativeness, maturity and multiple scales should be incorporated into the debates on the significance of proximity for economic performance.
Johan Galtung
This is the first ever anthology of key articles by Johan Galtung, widely regarded as the founder of the academic discipline of peace studies. It covers such concepts as direct, structural and cultural violence; theories of conflict, development, civilization and peace; peaceful conflict transformation; peace education; mediation; reconciliation; a life-sustaining economy; macro-history; deep culture and deep structure; and social science methodology. Galtung has contributed original research, concepts and theories to more than 20 social science disciplines, including sociology, international relations and future studies, and has also applied his new insights in practice. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, and can serve as a supplemental textbook for graduate and upper undergraduate courses in peace studies and related fields.
Industrial Communications and Networks
Wireless communications are the primary means of industrial communications. They facilitate faster and accurate communication as well as transfer of data for varied purposes. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in this field in recent times. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of industrial communications and networks. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of industrial communications as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
On Compromise and Rotten Compromises
A searching examination of the moral limits of political compromise When is political compromise acceptable—and when is it fundamentally rotten, something we should never accept, come what may? What if a rotten compromise is politically necessary? Compromise is a great political virtue, especially for the sake of peace. But, as Avishai Margalit argues, there are moral limits to acceptable compromise even for peace. But just what are those limits? At what point does peace secured with compromise become unjust? Focusing attention on vitally important questions that have received surprisingly little attention, Margalit argues that we should be concerned not only with what makes a just war, but also with what kind of compromise allows for a just peace. Examining a wide range of examples, including the Munich Agreement, the Yalta Conference, and Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, Margalit provides a searching examination of the nature of political compromise in its various forms. Combining philosophy, politics, and history, and written in a vivid and accessible style, On Compromise and Rotten Compromises is full of surprising new insights about war, peace, justice, and sectarianism.
