Tiempo en piedra traduce a prosa literaria el arduo trabajo desarrollado durante más de diez años por una científica, un grupo de jóvenes colegas y varios voluntarios. Este libro muestra el esfuerzo por la recuperación de un ecosistema al repoblarlo con su flora y fauna originales en un remanente de lava endurecida de Ciudad Universitaria al que han llamado Geopedregal. A este homenaje fueron también convocadas diez personas para recuperar sus experiencias de infancia y juventud en colonias cuyo sustrato se formó a partir de la lava generada por la explosión del volcán Xitle. Mujeres y hombres de edades, oficios, profesiones y quehaceres diversos enriquecieron con sus voces y saberes esta historia de ficción al resaltar su aprecio por los pedregales para darles visibilidad e importancia. Sirva este esfuerzo conjunto para detonar el trabajo de comunidades interesadas en desarrollar el conocimiento científico, mantener la convivencia del ser humano con la naturaleza, preservar su sano equilibrio e implementar más y nuevos programas de conservación.
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.
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.
The twenty-first century is a world in constant change. In A New Culture of Learning, Doug Thomas and John Seely Brown pursue an understanding of how the forces of change, and emerging waves of interest associated with these forces, inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. Typically, when we think of culture, we think of an existing, stable entity that changes and evolves over long periods of time. In A New Culture, Thomas and Brown explore a second sense of culture, one that responds to its surroundings organically. It not only adapts, it integrates change into its process as one of its environmental variables. By exploring play, innovat...

Sovereign Debt Diplomacies aims to revisit the meaning of sovereign debt in relation to colonial history and postcolonial developments. It offers three main contributions. The first contribution is historical. The volume historicises a research field that has so far focused primarily on the post-1980 years. A focus on colonial debt from the 19th century building of colonial empires to the decolonisation era in the 1960s-70s fills an important gap in recent debt histori...
