Las elecciones nacionales del 2018 y las locales del 2019 fueron las primeras elecciones realizadas después de la firma del Acuerdo Final para la Terminación del Conflicto y la Construcción de una Paz Estable y Duradera firmado entre el Gobierno nacional y la guerrilla de las farc. El punto dos de dicho Acuerdo se enfocó en la participación política y en el sistema electoral colombiano para promover la apertura democrática y con esto facilitar la transición del grupo armado a la vida legal. Si bien las reformas políticas que buscaban reglamentar lo pactado por el Gobierno se hundieron en el Legislativo, los cambios políticos e institucionales han incidido en la configuración de un...
The Palgrave Handbook of Left-Wing Extremism, Volume 1
This handbook provides a broad overview of left-wing extremism and its associated key issues and themes. It breaks new ground by assembling in a single volume a comparative analysis of the phenomenon that is both multidimensional and multidisciplinary. Gathering a wide range of influential scholars who have worked at length in the field of extremism studies from different perspectives, backgrounds, and geographical settings, the Palgrave Handbook of Left-Wing Extremism presents an array of thought-provoking and innovative as well as informative analyses and discussions – both historical and contemporary - about the phenomenon of left-wing extremism and of how researchers conceive of and approach it in their study. The Handbook is designed to be, for the foreseeable future, the reference work for all students, researchers, and general readers interested in achieving a comprehensive understanding of left-wing extremism in all its manifestations, subtleties, and dynamics, and both its current and its potential directions.
The Persistence of Local Caudillos in Latin America
Despite democratization at the national level, local political bosses still govern many municipalities in Latin America. Caudillos and clans often use informal political practices—ranging from clientelism and patronage to harassment of political opposition—to control local political dynamics. These arbitrary and, at times, abusive practices pose important challenges to how Latin American democracy works and how power is exercised after the decentralization reforms in the region. These reforms promised to bring the government closer to the people and to promote popular participation. In many cases, these ideals are unmet, and newly empowered local politicians have been able to turn municipalities into personal fiefdoms. This book explores how local caudillos stay in power and why some are more successful than others in retaining office. Tomáš Došek provides an in-depth analysis of six cases from Chile, Paraguay, and Peru to show the strategies that caudillos pursue to secure power and the mistakes they commit that drive them out.

The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.
Handbook of Research on Applied Social Psychology in Multiculturalism
Social psychology is the scientific study of how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, and implied presence of others. In this definition, scientific refers to the empirical investigation using the scientific method, while the terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors refer to the psychological variables that can be measured in humans. Moreover, the notion that the presence of others may be imagined or implied suggests that humans are malleable to social influences even when alone, such as when watching videos or quietly appreciating art. In such situations, people can be influenced to follow internalized cultural norms. Social psychology ...
Reise Know-How KulturSchock Kolumbien
Kolumbien ist das bevölkerungsreichste spanischsprachige Land Südamerikas und seine Einwohner verteilen sich aufgrund der komplexen Geografie über das Land wie auf einem Flickenteppich. Ethnische, soziale und Mentalitätsunterschiede prägen die nationale Psyche: Auf den Höhen der drei Andenkordilleren, an der Karibischen See und dem Pazifischen Ozean, in den Savannen des Orinokostroms und den Dschungeln des Amazonas – überall findet man ein ganz eigenes Kolumbien vor. Indigene Völker halten alte Traditionen im Einklang mit der Natur am Leben, afrokolumbianische Gemeinden verschmelzen mit dem Urwald des Chocó, sephardische Geschäftsleute kultivieren Antioquia und in den Metropolen ...

Social Media and Public Relations
Social media is having a profound, but not yet fully understood impact on public relations. In the 24/7 world of perpetually connected publics, will public relations function as a dark art that spins (or tweets) self-interested variations of the truth for credulous audiences? Or does the full glare of the internet and the increasing expectations of powerful publics motivate it to more honestly engage to serve the public interest? The purpose of this book is to examine the role of PR by exploring the myriad ways that social media is reshaping its conceptualization, strategies, and tactics. In particular, it explores the dichotomies of fake and authentic, powerless and powerful, meaningless an...
