Con la entrada del sistema penal acusatorio, la aplicación de procesos restaurativos se ha convertido en una forma de abordar el delito desde una perspectiva diferente, encaminada a la resolución de conflictos de manera colaborativa, donde los involucrados tienen un rol activo; sin embargo, su tratamiento requiere de un análisis disciplinario más amplio. En esta obra los autores destacan la importancia de estudiar esta interacción desde las neurociencias y el derecho penal, y analizan el vínculo entre ambas. Se aborda la justicia restaurativa desde el contexto indígena, específicamente de las mujeres privadas de la libertad en el estado de Oaxaca, donde se plantea la compleja ejecución de este modelo; y a partir de esto, resaltan la importancia de crear un concepto restaurativo propio basado en un estudio de la estructura sociocultural indígena y, de forma particular, de la aplicación de la ley hacia las mujeres en este entorno.
La Cátedra UNESCO Derechos Humanos y violencia: gobierno y gobernanza de la Universidad Externado de Colombia presenta su segunda publicación, dedicada, en primer lugar, a las investigaciones realizadas sobre el desplazamiento forzado, las cuales abordan temas como: el acceso a la justicia de las personas en situación de desplazamiento (desde la perspectiva étnica, de género y etaria) y las políticas públicas de atención a la infancia, de educación, de salud mental, de atención local y migratorias.

La Sentencia C-646 de 2001 de la Corte Constitucional colombiana define la política criminal como "el conjunto de respuestas que un Estado estima necesario adoptar para hacerle frente a conductas consideradas reprochables o causantes de perjuicio social, con el fin de garantizar la protección de los intereses esenciales del Estado y de los derechos de los residentes en el territorio bajo su jurisdicción". Vemos en esa definición que las respuestas a conductas reprochables son diversas de acuerdo con la necesidad y en perspectiva de los derechos ciudadanos. Sin embargo, los actores de la política criminal han priorizado la respuesta punitiva como la máxima ratio para la "protección" de los intereses esenciales del Estado y de los ciudadanos. El Centro de Investigación en Política Criminal, en sus investigaciones, ha tenido la preocupación constante acerca de la violencia existente en Colombia, no solo de la sociedad, sino también del Estado. La criminología ofrece caminos de reflexión con el fin de materializar el deber ser de una política criminal garantista y diseñar propuestas edificantes y restaurativas para los involucrados en el sistema penal.
The major historians of ancient Rome wrote their works in the firm belief that the exalted history of the Roman Empire provided plentiful lessons about individual behavior, inspiration for great souls, and warnings against evil ambitions, not to mention opportunities for rich comedy. The examples of Rome have often been resurrected for the opera stage to display the exceptional grandeur, glory, and tragedy of Roman figures. In this volume, Robert C. Ketterer tracks the changes as operas’ Roman subjects crossed generations and national boundaries. Following opera from its origins in seventeenth-century Venice to Napoleon’s invasion of Italy, Ketterer shows how Roman history provided composers with all the necessary courage and intrigue, love and honor, and triumph and defeat so vital for the stirring music that makes great opera.
Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This collection – to be issued in three volumes – offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. As the first volume exemplifies, vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante. The volume has its origin in a series of thirty-three public lectures held in Trinity College, the University of Cambridge (2012-2016) which can be accessed at the ‘Cambridge Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy’ website.
Since 1945, the UN has been actively engaged in conceptualizing strategies for both economic development and a sustainable environment. From a broad historical perspective, Development without Destruction sketches the role played by organizations and individuals in the UN system in developing and consolidating principles of international law and international governance with respect to natural resource management. Nico Schrijver highlights the UN's efforts to generate and implement strategies to resolve tensions between economic development and environmental protection, conservation and exploitation, sovereignty and internationalism, and armed conflict and peaceful access to natural resources. Schrijver's thorough analysis is an indispensable guide to management of the critical environmental issues on today's global agenda.
