Por qué se reciclan la corrupción y el crimen organizado en Colombia
La Gran Encuesta de mediados de 2014 reportaba una desconfianza gigantesca en las instituciones públicas. Incluso, el siempre bien valorado Ejército Nacional, escasamente conseguía un 56 por ciento de aprobación. Pero lo que resultaba inédito era la creciente desconfianza de los colombianos en su justicia que se equiparaba a la consuetudinaria del Congreso: casi un 80%. Lo más grave era que esa percepción se aplicaba a las tres grandes cortes. Hechos concretos reportados extensamente por los Medios demostraban que esa percepción no se trataba de propaganda eficientemente transmitida por algún sector de la sociedad. Dos años después, el escándalo de la multinacional brasilera Odeb...

La Ciencia Política en Colombia, la construcción de una comunidad académica
Este libro aborda un escenario como es el presente en el que el pasado juega un papel relevante. También es una evidencia de la consolidación de una disciplina, la Ciencia Política, en Colombia. Siempre se ha dicho, con acierto, que un área del saber alcanza su madurez, o en términos del autor, la institucionalización disciplinar –autonomización y diferenciación–, cuando además tiene capacidad de autorreflexión, de pensarse y evaluarse así misma. Javier Duque lleva a cabo esa laboriosa tarea y plantea un fructífero diálogo entre la disciplina que lentamente va floreciendo en Colombia, al unísono de lo que ocurre en América Latina, con las tradiciones más asentadas de Europa y de Estados Unidos. Su perspectiva ecléctica en la metodología de la historia de la ciencia le lleva a ahondar minuciosamente en los cimientos que con timidez se van asentando a partir de 1968 en la maraña que construye el marxismo y una posición ciertamente reactiva al empirismo y a la cuantificación de lo político.
Aging between Participation and Simulation
With increasing urgency, decisions about the digitalized future of healthcare and implementations of new assistive technologies are becoming focal points of societal and scientific debates and addresses large audiences. Decisions require a careful weighing of risks and benefits and contextualizing in-depth ethical analysis with robust empirical data. However, up to now, research on social assistive technologies is mostly dispersed over different academic fields and disciplines. A comprehensive overview on discussions regarding values at stake and ethical assessment of recent developments especially in healthcare is largely missing. This publication initiates an interdisciplinary discourse on...
How Wall Street Created a Nation
How Wall Street Created a Nation: J.P. Morgan, Teddy Roosevelt, and the Panama Canal narrates the dramatic and gripping account of the beginnings of the Panama Canal led by a group of Wall Street speculators with the help of Teddy Roosevelt’s government. The result of four years of research, the book offers the real story of how the United States obtained the rights to build the Canal through financial speculation, fraud, and an international conspiracy that brought down a French republic and a Colombian government, created the Republic of Panama, rocked the invincible President Roosevelt with corruption scandals, and gave birth to U.S. imperialism in Latin America.
The Tempting of America
Judge Bork shares a personal account of the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on his nomination as well as his view on politics versus the law. In The Tempting of America, one of our most distinguished legal minds offers a brilliant argument for the wisdom and necessity of interpreting the Constitution according to the “original understanding” of the Framers and the people for whom it was written. Widely hailed as the most important critique of the nation’s intellectual climate since The Closing of the American Mind, The Tempting of America illuminates the history of the Supreme Court and the underlying meaning of constitutional controversy. Essential to understanding the relationship between values and the law, it concludes with a personal account of Judge Bork’s chillingly emblematic experiences during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on his Supreme Court nomination.
Jurisprudence of International Criminal Justice
Introduction written by Professor Benjamin B Ferencz This challenging volume examines the jurisprudence of international criminal justice from various points of view. The philosophy of justice may vary from time to time and from nation to nation, depending on prevailing attitudes towards the substantive rules which deal, in one way or another, with cultural norms. In the national and international area, the principles of criminal justice have a key role in examining the scope of the most serious violations of international criminal law. It is on the basis of appropriate judgment that these principles may be accumulated and achieved for the future conduct of man. This volume, therefore, exami...
