An Anarchy of Families
Winner of the Philippine National Book Award, this pioneering volume reveals how the power of the country's family-based oligarchy both derives from and contributes to a weak Philippine state. From provincial warlords to modern managers, prominent Filipino leaders have fused family, politics, and business to compromise public institutions and amass private wealth--a historic pattern that persists to the present day.

People's Power
Focusing primarily on the municipal level but also presenting material on the national and provincial elected bodies and the newer people's councils and workers' parliaments, Roman (behavioral and social sciences, City U. of New York) offers a theoretical, historical, and contemporary analysis. He finds theoretical foundations in Rousseau, Marx, and Lenin and historical precedents in the Paris Commune, the 1905 and 1917 Soviets, and the Soviet Union before and after Stalin. His coverage extends from the various experiments after the triumph of the revolution in 1959 through effects of the 1992 Constitution and election law, to the present.

La disolución del aula
El actual contexto en el que se desenvuelven la educación y la arquitectura, está constantemente en entredicho debido a la continua crisis en la que se encuentran inmersas ambas disciplinas, principalmente, porque se les presupone un aislamiento respecto a las transformaciones y necesidades sociales. La arquitectura y la educación comparten un territorio común, el entorno de aprendizaje que, según la cultura o las circunstancias, adquiere más o menos protagonismo y, cuya existencia y configuración, también se encuentra hoy cuestionada, debido a la generación de un entorno virtual cada día más autosuficiente. La investigación propone un acercamiento a este panorama de crisis a tra...
