Becoming Black Political Subjects
After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Tianna Paschel shows how, over a short period, black movements an...
Cuando la copa se rebosa
Este libro analiza las tendencias de la protesta social en el país, los momentos en donde la movilización ha sido más fuerte, presenta los motivos de la protesta y, de esta manera, se configura como una contribución desde el mundo académico compartida con los movimientos sociales, una lectura crítica de su historia reciente.
Laboratorios de paz en territorios de violencia(s)
Este libro incide sobre una experiencia sui generis de construcción de paz en Colombia, los Laboratorios de Paz. Situados en algunas de las zonas más conflictivas del país, e íntimamente conectados con los Programas de Desarrollo y Paz, constituyeron programas multidimensionales de construcción de paz desde la base, sostenidos por la sociedad civil, y con el respaldo y participación de la Unión Europea y del Estado colombiano. Configuraron un amplio conjunto de procesos sociales, culturales, económicos y políticos de base que buscaban integrar los sectores sociales tradicionalmente excluidos de la población colombiana en territorios marginados y periféricos, y acercarlos a la institucionalidad, al desarrollo y a la democracia, con vista a la transformación del conflicto. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es evaluar en qué medida los Laboratorios de Paz se concibieron como verdaderos "laboratorios de paz" y abrieron caminos novedosos y "fórmulas" alternativas para la paz a nivel local y regional.
Peace, Conflict and Identity
Peace, Conflict and Identity is the third book in the junior series of the EDEN (European Doctoral Enhancement Programme in Peace and Conflict Studies) and contains cuting edge research that was first delivered in a series of presentations by PhD students at two of the EDEN Intensive Programmes held at the universities of Deusto and Graz in 2007 and 2009 respectively. The book has been edited in the spirit that publishing work whilst still engaged on a post-graduate research programme is an essential element of early career progression. As such, several of the contributors to this book have since gained their doctorates.
Neoliberalism, Interrupted
In the 1980s and 1990s, neoliberal forms of governance largely dominated Latin American political and social life. Neoliberalism, Interrupted examines the recent and diverse proliferation of responses to neoliberalism's hegemony. In so doing, this vanguard collection of case studies undermines the conventional dichotomies used to understand transformation in this region, such as neoliberalism vs. socialism, right vs. left, indigenous vs. mestizo, and national vs. transnational. Deploying both ethnographic research and more synthetic reflections on meaning, consequence, and possibility, the essays focus on the ways in which a range of unresolved contradictions interconnect various projects for change and resistance to change in Latin America. Useful to students and scholars across disciplines, this groundbreaking volume reorients how sociopolitical change has been understood and practiced in Latin America. It also carries important lessons for other parts of the world with similar histories and structural conditions.

The European Approach to Peacebuilding
Examining peacebuilding through the intersection of security, development and democracy, Castaneda explores how the European Union has employed civilian tools for supporting peacebuilding in conflict-affected countries by working at the same time with CSOs and government institutions.
Colombia Pacífico
El Pacífico colombiano es conocido por su alta biodiversidad, que resulta de sus características geológicas (diferentes tipos de rocas y procesos erosivos, y sedimentarios abundantes) y climáticas (temperaturas cálidas, alta humedad, baja radiación solar y alta pluviosidad, lo que se traduce en abundancia de corrientes de agua). Este conjunto de características favorece el desarrollo de un gran número de especies de plantas -que constituyen a exuberante selva del Choco biogeográco- así como de mariposas, aves, mamíferos, anfibios, reptiles y peces, muchos de ellos endémicos de esta zona.
