Gobernanza metropolitana y federalismo en México
Al concluir recientemente la firma de un acuerdo para solucionar las afectaciones derivadas de las obras que se vienen realizando por la construcción de la Línea 3 del Tren Ligero, así como la realización de los partidos de beisbol y otros eventos en el estadio de Los Charros de Jalisco, en el que participaron las autoridades municipales de Zapopan, Jalisco y algunos representantes de vecinos pertenecientes al Colectivo Colonias Unidas; el presidente municipal de Zapopan, Pablo Lemus Navarro, calificó este hecho como “un nuevo modelo de gobernanza digno de ser imitado” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016). En este contexto, la misma autoridad municipal enfatizó que los alcances de los acuerdos pactados con los vecinos organizados quedaron circunscritos a la “competencia municipal (por ejemplo, incrementar la seguridad en torno al estadio de beisbol) y se cumplirán, pero en los temas de competencia federal-estatal (como es el caso del diseño de la Macroplaza o la fecha de terminación de obras), sólo prometió encabezar la gestión” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016).

The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Books and Bidders: The Adventures of a Bibliophile
“Genius?” The tall old man with the fan-shaped beard looked eagerly at his companion, then settled back more heavily against the rows and rows of old books lining the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room. “Of course Edgar was a genius, but in spite of being a gambler and a drunkard—in spite of it, I tell you!” The other, a thin man of lesser years, his long, inquiring face meditative in the twilight, nodded. “You are right,” he agreed. “But what difference did it make? The only question is, would ‘The Raven’ have been any greater without his gambling and drinking? I doubt it.” The argument was on, and my uncle, Moses Polock, would lean forward now and again, wa...
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
Migrants and Migration in Modern North America
Presenting an unprecedented, integrated view of migration in North America, this interdisciplinary collection of essays illuminates the movements of people within and between Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States over the past two centuries. Several essays discuss recent migrations from Central America as well. In the introduction, Dirk Hoerder provides a sweeping historical overview of North American societies in the Atlantic world. He also develops and advocates what he and Nora Faires call “transcultural societal studies,” an interdisciplinary approach to migration studies that combines migration research across disciplines and at the local, regional, national, and tran...
