Rethinking Economic Development, Growth, and Institutions
Presents the contributions that early development theory can make to growth economics in answering why some countries are richer than others and why some economies grow faster than others.
Beyond Mestizaje
Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.

The Oxford Handbook of Education and Globalization
"The categories commonly mobilized to think about education have long been associated with the notion of the nation state, and functioned as obstacles, rather than resources, for our understanding of how globalization plays out in this particular field. In the last two decades, both social theory and comparative politics have attempted to overcome these limitations in their own way. Social theory increasingly acknowledged education as a global phenomenon. Theories have been developed to describe a global society evolving across borders. They show how, through processes that remain debated (cultural isomorphism, capitalism, functional differentiation), a number of structural and semantic evol...
Por una cancha pareja
A ningún equipo de futbol le gusta jugar en una cancha que le dé ventajas a unos jugadores y afecte a otros. Ni que en cada partido cambien las reglas o que el árbitro las aplique para beneficiar al rival. Un requisito para que el marcador final sea justo es que el esfuerzo de cada futbolista no se vea obstaculizado por nada ni nadie y que el azar ejerza su imperio por igual entre todos los que salten al césped. En suma, hace falta una cancha pareja. Roberto Vélez Grajales y Luis Monroy-Gómez-Franco están convencidos de que algo semejante debe ocurrir con los ciudadanos y su acceso a lo mejor que ofrece la vida. En estas páginas, rompen una lanza por la igualdad de oportunidades, ent...

Érase un país verde olivo
Érase que se era un México teñido de verde olivo. Así podría empezar un cuento distópico en el que las Fuerzas Armadas abandonan los cuarteles para ocupar, con el característico color de su uniforme, cada vez más espacios de nuestro atribulado país. Pero lamentablemente funciona también como descripción objetiva de lo que está ocurriendo hoy, con el Ejército, la Fuerza Aérea y la Marina cada vez más presentes en funciones que deberían serles ajenas. Este libro recorre un siglo de la tensa relación entre el poder civil y el poder militar, desde los tiempos en que un requisito no formal para ser presidente de la República era contar con galones de general hasta nuestros días...
