This book discusses to what extent and how constitutional design and practice in Latin America have helped in combatting the subordination of women and LGBTQIA+ people. Covering 11 jurisdictions, the chapters identify the main elements of the constitutional gender order and survey jurisprudential and legislative developments in different areas, incorporating contextual analysis and references to history, political dynamics, social movements, feminist struggles, normative efficacy, and policy. In the context of a constitutionalism that has been celebrated as particularly innovative and socially engaged, the book assesses constitutional performance in the quest to supersede the separate gender...
Cities occupy about 3 per cent of the Earth's habitable land area and are home to one out of two humans worldwide; both estimates are predicted to grow. Urban space is thus becoming an important, novel ecological niche for humans and wildlife alike. Building on knowledge gathered by urban ecologists during the last half century, evidence of evolutionary responses to urbanization has rapidly emerged. Urban evolutionary biology is a nascent yet fast-growing field of research--and a fascinating testing ground for evolutionary biologists worldwide. Urbanization offers a great range of opportunities to examine evolutionary processes because of the radically altered and easily quantifiable urban h...
Hasta hace poco tiempo la religión no era un tema de conversación en un hogar colombiano promedio. Era, eso sí, una vivencia, una práctica o, en el peor de los casos, una presencia nominal, esto es, se pertenecía a la religión por haber sido bautizado en ella, pero nada más. Sin embargo, desde hace un poco más de tres décadas, coincidiendo con la promulgación de la Constitución Política de 1991, la religión pasó a ser un tema de más abierta y amplia esfera de discusión. El hecho de que la cotidianidad mostrara la existencia de nuevas y variadas denominaciones religiosas, diferentes a la católica, y que a la vez estas tuvieran diversas formas cultuales, mostró la amplitud de...
En el presente libro se analizan las politicas que se implementaron hacia el sector industrial -en Argentina- durante la gestion del presidente Raul Alfonsin (1983 - 1989), a fin de establecer si respondieron a una Politica Industrial determinada. Se investiga el efecto que tuvieron dichas politicas sobre el desempeno del sector industrial nacional, enfatizando el estudio sobre aquellos sectores industriales que configuraron el paradigma del Modelo de Industrializacion por Sustitucion de Importaciones (ISI). La importancia adjudicada a dichos sectores radica en que fueron ellos los que lideraron el proceso de industrializacion del pais, durante el periodo comprendido entre la segunda posguerra y mediados de la decada del setenta. Fue entonces cuando la industria impulso el crecimiento economico, y se constituyo en una importante fuente de empleo, en el pais. Ademas, fueron esos sectores industriales los que aportaron valor agregado a la produccion nacional y a las exportaciones, y su rezago, es uno de los argumentos que se esgrime para afirmar que la Argentina -de las ultimas decadas del s. XX- registro un proceso de "des-industrializacion nacional.""

Timely commentaries and essays from economist Rudi Dornbusch. The underlying theme of Rudi Dornbusch's work is unabashedly Chicago, namely, the University of Chicago belief that markets solve problems best and that most bureaucrats, even when well-intentioned, are distracted by politics or excessive zeal for perfect solutions. Dornbusch seeks to challenge those in charge with alternative answers and to limit their ambitions. He takes aim at central bankers, bureaucrats, unions, do-gooders, and politicians from Brazil, Japan, Russia, and other scenes of economic disaster. This book collects Dornbusch's recent commentaries from such publications as Business Week, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times, as well as longer essays from recent and forthcoming books. The pieces focus on issues of domestic and international economic policy, including inflation and debt, exchange rates, trade policy, emerging markets, and the intersection of politics and economics. The writing is lively, opinionated, and informative.
