This book presents a new framework for analyzing the political economy of budget processes in Latin America that is based on the following premises: i) the budget process must be considered as part of the overall policymaking process rather than in isolation; ii) budget outcomes cannot be fully explained on the basis of only one or two political or institutional dimensions; iii) actual practices must be considered as well as formal rules; iv) budget processes affect dimensions of fiscal outcomes besides fiscal sustainability, particularly efficiency, adaptability, and representativeness; v) political actors and their incentives must be considered at different stages of the policymaking process and in different institutional contexts. Case studies are presented for eight countries in the region, and a final chapter presents conclusions and suggestions for further research.
Una historia contemporánea de Colombia que comprende los procesos que han llevado al país a ser lo que es hoy. Al fin un libro de historia de Colombia que no se queda en el pasado violento y los males atávicos. Además de concisa, esta historia del país destaca qué ha funcionado para que Colombia perdure como nación y prospere a pesar de sus problemas. Los doce capítulos que lo componen ofrecen una interpretación basada en los hechos, eventos históricos y circunstancias que confluyen para dar forma a una Colombia moderna, viable y cada vez más incluyente. Sus autores, los reconocidos historiadores Germán Mejía y Michael J. LaRosa, se enfocan en el periodo moderno, comprendido desde 1800 hasta el presente, y para esta edición han incluido un capítulo sobre los colombianos en el exterior y la firma del acuerdo de paz de La Habana. En estas páginas el lector encontrará una investigación completa, actualizada y de fácil lectura que se aparta del trabajo académico tradicional y que sigue una lógica según la cual la historia debe servir para liberarnos del pasado y no encerrarnos en ideas de larga duración.

This volume is an attempt at providing an index for the location of artists' biographies. It includes works in ten languages, and for each artist includes the following: the artist's name, dates, nationality, and media employed. A three-letter code is used to list the volume in the bibliography which includes the artists' biography. Entries include variant spellings, pseudonyms, and alternate names. Artists are also indexed under variant names. As an example, Leonardo da Vinci can be located under both "L" and "V", with appropriate cross references.
