Gestión emocional en procesos migratorios, políticos y de organización colectiva en Latinoamérica y México (Colección Emociones e interdisciplina)
Los temas organizadores de este volumen: migraciones, procesos políticos y de organización colectiva, representan fenómenos sociales ampliamente examinados por las ciencias sociales y las humanidades (sociología, estudios latinoamericanos, demografía, historia, antropología, ciencias políticas) desde los años setenta (Tilly, 1990; Melucci, 1994; Bustamante, 1997, entre otros). Tradicionalmente, los análisis sobre migración pusieron el foco analítico en la transformación poblacional, las economías y las prácticas culturales vinculadas con los arreglos familiares y domésticos (familias trasnacionales),la vida de los que migraban y los que se quedaban en el lugar de origen, así como las características de la migración, de acuerdo con el sexo, la edad, la región de salida y el sitio de llegada (Ariza, 2000, 2002, 2006; Ariza y Portes, 2007; Valenzuela, 2008; Ramírez, 2016). En el cambio de siglo, las condiciones de salud, el tipo de ocupación y las diferencias salariales entre mujeres y hombres habían sido los temas más abarcadores de estudios ya clásicos para México y Latinoamérica.

Coronavirus Politics
COVID-19 is the most significant global crisis of any of our lifetimes. The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. Coronavirus Politics identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. Editors Scott L. Greer, Elizabeth J. King, Elize Massard da Fonseca, and André Peralta-Santos bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. The book’s coverage is global, with a wide range of key and exemplary countries, and contains a mixture of comparative, thematic, and templated country studies. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.
The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Futures
While urban settlements are the drivers of the global economy and centres of learning, culture, and innovation and nations rely on competitive dynamic regions for their economic, social, and environmental objectives, urban centres and regions face a myriad of challenges that impact the ways in which people live and work, create wealth, and interact and connect with places. Rapid urbanisation is resulting in urban sprawl, rising emissions, urban poverty and high unemployment rates, housing affordability issues, lack of urban investment, low urban financial and governance capacities, rising inequality and urban crimes, environmental degradation, increasing vulnerability to natural disasters an...
Path to a Meaningful Life

It is more precious because it is not sold in the supermarket. No matter how rich you are, you cannot buy life.

Realities and Relationships
Recent attempts to challenge the primacy of reason--and its realization in foundationalist accounts of knowledge and cognitive formulations of human action--have focused on processes of discourse. Drawing from social and literary accounts of discourse, Kenneth Gergen considers these challenges to empiricism under the banner of "social construction." His aim is to outline the major elements of a social constructionist perspective, to illustrate its potential, and to initiate debate on the future of constructionist pursuits in the human sciences generally and psychology in particular.
