Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States
Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarán, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
Elections
Among the most prized and revered democratic institutions are elections. Few other actions typify what it means to participate in the democratic process in the same way that turning up, casting a ballot, and then having that ballot be part of determining who will control power has. Indeed, elections are at the center of what we view as democracy and much ink has been spilled in attempting to explain just how essential the electoral action is to democracy. In this volume our authors explore elections both from an understanding of the systems that govern elections across both the developed and developing world, and from the perspective of the individual voter who participates in that system. Taken together these analyses provide an intriguing look into this core aspect of democracy.
Motivation
With a new evolutionary theme, Petri's book covers the biological, behavioral, and cognitive explanations for human motivation. The advantages and drawbacks to each of these explanations are presented, allowing students to draw their own conclusions. Students want to know why they behave the way they do. To help students understand the processes that activate their behavior, Petri uses examples drawn from such contemporary topics as sexual behavior, aggression, eating disorders, and obesity to capture and keep students interested. To help students master and retain the information covered, this edition builds upon the text's simple and direct language with expanded pedagogy including preview questions at the beginning of every chapter, end of chapter summaries, key terms, Web links, and suggestions for further reading.
Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies
Over the past 50 years, scholars across the social sciences have employed critical juncture analysis to understand how social orders are created, become entrenched, and change. In this book, leading scholars from several disciplines offer the first coordinated effort to define this field of research, assess its theoretical and methodological foundations, and use a critical assessment of current practices as a basis for guiding its future. Contributors include stars in this field who have written some of the classic works on critical junctures, as well as the rising stars of the next generation who will continue to shape historical comparative analysis for years to come. Critical Junctures and Historical Legacies will be an indispensable resource for social science research methods scholars and students.
EDUCACIÓN EN LA PRIMERA INFANCIA
Tengo el gran gusto de presentar a ustedes este escrito producto de investigación denominado Educación en la Primera Infancia, cuyos autores han realizado una compilación concreta de sus procesos de investigación, lo cual ha llevado a que se logre este texto. La impor- tancia de la originalidad de este escrito, radica principalmente en las experiencias de sus autores y en la manera en la que presentan sus productos. En ese orden de ideas, es preciso anotar que la investigación en la Primera Infancia ha estado atravesada por distintos profesionales de otras áreas de la educación, lo que ha conllevado a que los mismos profesionales que se dedican a la formación de los niños y niñas deban seguir dichos lineamientos, por lo tanto este texto que hoy se presenta da algunos lineamientos a partir de la experiencia de los investigadores. Uno de los factores más relevantes en este trabajo, hace referencia a las estrategias que proponen los investigadores acerca de la enseñanza de temáticas por medio de la investigación, que en última instancia es una de las fortalezas de los niños y niñas en edad preescolar.

Politics in Venezuela
Hugo Chávez is heavily criticised by the international political class and the press and media. He is dismissed academically as a populista and dismissed more generally as a rabble rouser. However, a lot of the criticism and reporting lacks context.
