Lex mercatoria, derechos humanos y democracia : un estudio del neoliberalismo autoritario y las resistencias en América Latina
Son tiempos de protesta en América Latina. Desde los levantamientos del otoño de 2019 hasta la actualidad, los pueblos de la región se están expresando en contra las políticas de ajuste neoliberal que, combinadas con la pandemia del Coronavirus, han golpeado duramente las condiciones materiales de vida de las mayorías sociales. El crecimiento de la desigualdad, la pobreza y la precarización es el producto de una estrategia regional extendida a través de las instituciones financieras internacionales y de los grandes actores económicos que, junto con los gobiernos nacionales, capturados o cómplices, expanden la llamada Lex Mercatoria a través de mecanismos que subvierten los cauces ...
Pluralismo jurídico.Fundamentos de una nueva cultura del Derecho
Esta obra se propone analizar la crisis y el agotamiento que vive el modelo clásico occidental de Derecho positivo, producido por las fuentes estatales y fundado sobre las directrices liberal-individualistas. La insuficiencia de ese paradigma jurídico basado en el principio de legalidad establecida por el estado, que sirvió para reglamentar y legitimar los intereses de la tradición cultural burguesa y capitalista, favorece un proceso de ruptura que puede encaminar hacia la conformación de un proyecto diferenciado, que se asienta en una serie de presupuestos que parten de las condiciones históricas, económicas, conflictivas, de luchas sociales y prácticas insurgentes.La condición par...
La pandemia de COVID-19 y los cambios en las condiciones de vida
Nadie estaba preparado para enfrentar una pandemia en el mundo que conocíamos. Ha sido un escenario de ensayo y error, así como de improvisación en el manejo de las políticas dirigidas a mitigar sus efectos.

En este libro, integrado por nueve capítulos, escritos por diferentes in-vestigadores dedicados a diveras áreas del conocimiento, se analizan algunos de los impactos que ha tenido la pandemia, especialmente, sobre las condiciones de vida. Con base en la s...
Between Naturalism and Religion
Two countervailing trends mark the intellectual tenor of our age – the spread of naturalistic worldviews and religious orthodoxies. Advances in biogenetics, brain research, and robotics are clearing the way for the penetration of an objective scientific self-understanding of persons into everyday life. For philosophy, this trend is associated with the challenge of scientific naturalism. At the same time, we are witnessing an unexpected revitalization of religious traditions and the politicization of religious communities across the world. From a philosophical perspective, this revival of religious energies poses the challenge of a fundamentalist critique of the principles underlying the mo...
Healing the Wounds
In recent decades the world has experienced the rise of so-called 'low intensity conflicts'. Unlike conventional wars these very bloody armed conflicts are no longer the affair of state governments and their armies. In their place appear police-like armed units,security services and secret services, groups and organizations of religious, political and social fanatics ready to resort to violence, 'militias', bands of mercenaries, or just gangs of thugs, led by the condottiere of the 21st century, consisting of militant charismatics, militia 'generals', 'drug barons' and 'warlords' of various kinds. They conduct wars in which the soldiers no longer wear uniforms and there is no meeting of armi...
The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity: Ecological and Economic Foundations
Human well-being relies critically on ecosystem services provided by nature. Examples include water and air quality regulation, nutrient cycling and decomposition, plant pollination and flood control, all of which are dependent on biodiversity. They are predominantly public goods with limited or no markets and do not command any price in the conventional economic system, so their loss is often not detected and continues unaddressed and unabated. This in turn not only impacts human well-being, but also seriously undermines the sustainability of the economic system. It is against this background that TEEB: The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity project was set up in 2007 and led by the U...

This title presents controversial and critical essays which question the existence of a universal approach to the theory of law.
The Challenge of Diversity
Over the past several years new constitutions have been promulgated in many Latin American countries. A notable feature of the new constitutional frameworks is the recognition of the multiethnic and pluricultural character of these Latin American societies and States. Without question this fact reflects the new weight that indigenous movements have gained in political processes in the region. The recognition of multiethnicity constitutes a significant break with the previous perspective based on homogeneity and assimilation. Although this recognition of diversity is indeed important, the real test and challenge shall be the full implementation of diversity through concrete policies and institutional reforms.
