Jóvenes resilientes en contextos socioeducativos adversos
Recoge varios estudios de caso que describen y analizan las trayectorias resilientes de jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión. Su lectura servirá a formadores y familias a comprender mejor los procesos de resiliencia educativa, el significado que tiene para los jóvenes la vivencia del fracaso y el papel clave que ejercen los agentes y programas formativos de ámbito no formal en su tránsito hacia un mayor empoderamiento, como antídoto frente al determinismo social. La resiliencia educativa es un campo de estudio relevante para detectar debilidades de un sistema escolar poco inclusivo y desvelar alternativas a su funcionamiento. Desarrollar la resiliencia educativa desde edades tempranas contribuye a apuntalar el futuro de las personas.
Defining the Spatial Scale in Modern Regional Analysis
This book explores different approaches to defining the concept of region depending on the specific question that needs to be answered. While the typical administrative spatial data division fits certain research questions well, in many cases, defining regions in a different way is fundamental in order to obtain significant empirical evidence. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is dedicated to a methodological discussion of the concept of region and the different potential approaches from different perspectives. The problem of having sufficient information to define different regional units is always present. This justifies the second part of the book, which focuses on the techniques of ecological inference applied to estimating disaggregated data from observable aggregates. Finally, the book closes by presenting several applications that are in line with the functional areas definition in regional analysis.
Ética y diálogo en la administración pública: una propuesta para combatir la corrupción y fortalecer la gobernanza
El Estado actualmente se erige como la forma dominante de organización del poder político en el planeta, de modo que casi todas las personas son ciudadanos de uno de ellos. Con la globalización como fondo, y a partir de las ideas neoliberales, se buscó la reducción del Estado "al mínimo" con el fin de que las demandas de la sociedad fuesen atendidas en el mercado por agentes nacionales o internacionales, con base en la creencia de que el mercado es un instrumento más eficiente que el Estado para la distribución de valores escasos. Sin embargo, problemáticas como la concentración de la riqueza, la inseguridad, el combate a actividades ilícitas, e incluso el fomento a la investigación científica y el desarrollo del conocimiento, por mencionar algunas, son demandas que deben ser atendidas y que el mercado por sí solo no puede resolver. La obra se inserta en este panorama, planteándose como objetivo general analizar el papel que deben tener la ética y el diálogo como instrumentos que permiten propiciar la constitución de un espacio de gobierno público y republicano, que sea capaz de combatir la corrupción y de crear condiciones de gobernanza.

Women and Slavery in Nineteenth-century Colonial Cuba
Investigates how patriarchy operated in the lives of the women of Cuba, from elite women to slaves Scholars have long recognized the importance of gender and hierarchy in the slave societies of the New World, yet gendered analysis of Cuba has lagged behind study of other regions. Cuban elites recognized that creating and maintaining the Cuban slave society required a rigid social hierarchy based on race, gender, and legal status. Given the dramatic changes that came to Cuba in the wake of the Haitian Revolution and the growth of the enslaved population, the maintenance of order required a patriarchy that placed both women and slaves among the lower ranks. Based on a variety of archival and p...
