Las trayectorias femeninas y feministas hacia lo publico en Colombia (1970-2000).
Gender Politics in Transitional Justice
What role do transitional justice processes play in determining the gender outcomes of transitions from conflict and authoritarianism? What is the impact of transitional justice processes on the human rights of women in states emerging from political violence? Gender Politics in Transitional Justice argues that human rights outcomes for women are determined in the space between international law and local gender politics. The book draws on feminist political science to reveal the key gender dynamics that shape the strategies of local women’s movements in their engagement with transitional justice, and the ultimate success of those strategies, termed ‘the local fit’. Also drawing on fem...
Facets and Practices of State-Building
Drawing on a mix of international academic and field expert work, this book presents and analyses contemporary state-building efforts. It offers studies on the theoretical and practical foundations and causes of state-building, identifies the role and responsibilities of key actors and points to vital issues which merit specific attention in state-building undertakings. The book offers lessons for the future of state-building relevant to both practitioners and the academic community.
Der lange Schatten der Miliz
Gewaltakteure unterschiedlicher Schattierung spielen eine zentrale Rolle in Krisen und Kriegen. Ein besonderer Typus sind dabei Milizen, die für die Verteidigung eines politischen Status quo eintreten und die in ein Geflecht aus staatlichen und gesellschaftlichen Akteuren eingebunden sind. Dieser Band handelt vom "langen Schatten", den solche Milizen auf ihre Gesellschaften werfen. Analysiert werden Entstehung, Entwicklung und Langlebigkeit von Milizgewalt sowie deren Folgen am Beispiel der kolumbianischen Paramilitärs und der kurdisch-irakischen Peschmerga.

Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies
Between 1810 and 1825, 7,000 English, Scottish and Irish mercenaries sailed to Gran Colombia to fight against Spanish colonial rule under the rebel forces of Simón Bolívar. Their motives were mixed. Some travelled for money, others travelled for honour. Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies explores the lives of these men – their encounters with other soldiers, indigenous people, local women and slaves – as recounted in documents that fall outside the usual remit of military, political and economic historians. Matthew Brown considers the social and cultural aspects of the presence of these ‘foreigners’, and shows how they were an essential part of the revolution which eventually gave South America its freedom. Using archival research from England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia, Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies clearly shows the active role that these mercenaries, informal outriders of the British Empire, played in the creation of Latin America as we know it today.
Mujeres patriotas y realistas entre dos órdenes:
La historiografía latinoamericana que estudia la participación de las mujeres en los procesos independentistas ha avanzado significativamente en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, la tendencia general ha sido la de largos periodos en que la producción historiográfica no ha trabajado el tema de manera global. En el curso de su elaboración, el presente trabajo se enriqueció y apoyó en una serie de estudios e investigaciones nacionales y extranjeras, que sirvieron como soporte para enmarcar los temas relacionados con las mujeres y el nuevo orden durante la gesta independentista. Trabajos todos que, sin duda, son útiles para comprender y contextualizar la temática y el periodo, pero me...
Histories of Perplexity
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
Gender and Representation in Latin America
In the past thirty years, women's representation and gender equality has developed unevenly in Latin America. Some countries have experienced large increases in gender equality in political offices, whereas others have not, and even within countries, some political arenas have become more gender equal whereas others continue to exude intense gender inequality. These patterns are inconsistent with explanations of social and cultural improvements in gender equality leading to improved gender equality in political office. Gender and Representation in Latin America argues instead that gender inequality in political representation in Latin America is rooted in institutions and the democratic chal...
Reconceptualizing Security in the Americas in the Twenty-First Century
This book illustrates the plethora of security concerns of the Americas in the 21st century. It presents the work of a number of prolific scholars and analysts in the continents of America. The book provides one of the only expansive applications of theory to a wide geographical area. It offers new perspectives and urges readers to take theory seriously through use. Within the Americas, we find a number of important issues that compose of this geographic security complex. Most important are the threats that supersede borders: drug trafficking, migration, health, and environment. These threats change our understanding of security and the state and region process of neutralizing or correcting these threats. This volume evaluates these threats within contemporary security discourse.
