Feminist International
Recent years have seen massive feminist mobilizations in virtually every continent, overturning social mores and repressive legislation. In this brilliant and original look at the emerging feminist international, Vernica Gago explores how the women's strike, as both a concept and collective experience, may be transforming the boundaries of politics as we know it. At once a gripping political analysis and a theoretically charged manifesto, Feminist International draws on the author's rich experience with radical movements to enter into ongoing debates in feminist and Marxist theory: from social reproduction and domestic work to the intertwining of financial and gender violence, as well as controversies surrounding the neo-extractivist model of development, the possibilities and limits of left populism, and the ever-vexed nexus of gender-race-class. Gago asks what another theory of power might look like, one premised on our desire to change everything.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership
This book considers the impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] on intellectual property and trade. The book focuses upon the debate over copyright law, intermediary liability, and technological protection measures. The text examines the negotiations over trade mark law, cybersquatting, geographical indications and the plain packaging of tobacco products. It explores the debate over patent law and access to essential medicines, data protection and biologics, and the protection of trade secrets. In addition, the book investigates the treatment of Indigenous intellectual property, access to genetic resources, and plant breeders’ rights.

Leader of Latin America’s powerful new women’s movement rethinks the meaning of feminist politics Recent years have seen massive feminist mobilizations in virtually every continent, overturning social mores and repressive legislation.

The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.
Consumo crítico
Este libro pretende dar cuenta de las reivindicaciones, pasadas y presentes, que han utilizado el consumo como una herramienta crítica y transformadora. Pero más allá de los movimientos centrados en los intereses o derechos de los consumidores, el consumo crítico abarca formas de activismo más amplias, que prestan atención a todas las estructuras y agentes involucrados en la producción, distribución e impacto socioambiental de los productos, muy comprometidas con las demandas de otros movimientos sociales, como el feminismo, el ecologismo o de defensa de los derechos humanos.Se aborda la historia del consumo y el boicot como una de las formas más características del activismo, y se analizan cuatro sectores: la alimentación, la moda, la energía y el big data.
Beyond Mestizaje
Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.
Achieving a Just Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
The ambition of most countries across the world is to develop a low-carbon economy, evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of countries have signed the Paris COP21 agreement. This book contends that this global societal transition to a low-carbon economy must be just. As such, it will be an invaluable and accessible reference for scholars from all research disciplines who aim in their research to see a fairer, more equitable and inclusive world where sustainability is at the fore and climate targets are achieved. This is the first in-depth and original analysis to explore the central importance of law in achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy. In addition, it advances the ...
Neofascismo
A lo largo del siglo xx, los fascismos asolaron Europa y las dictaduras se multiplicaron en buena parte de América Latina. Hoy, en pleno siglo xxi, aquella bestia que creímos desterrada para siempre no solo ha resurgido, sino que, saltando fronteras, acecha esta vez el mundo entero. Se ha nutrido de las desigualdades traídas por una crisis interminable, ha crecido cada vez que los poderosos se han sentido fuertes y se han desligado de toda atadura democrática. La imposición aplastante de las políticas neoliberales le ha dado nuevo aliento, resucitado el espíritu de antaño, engendrado los neofascismos de hoy. ¿Qué diferencias cabe señalar entre las formaciones e ideologías fascist...
Oligarcas
Los oligarcas no son solo cosa de los malvados rusos. En España, controlan los resortes del poder y en ocasiones tapan sus miserias bajo falsa apariencia de filantropía. Grandes constructoras, familias de alta alcurnia, fortunas surgidas a la vera del franquismo, «hombres hechos a sí mismos»… conforman un poderoso grupo que copa contratos públicos, recibe ayudas estatales, controla cadenas de distribución, monopoliza ámbitos enteros de la economía, se codea y apoya a la realeza, gusta de paraísos fiscales… e incluso llega a decidir sobre medios y periodistas que se atrevan a mostrarse críticos. Algunos optan por la discreción; otros, sin embargo, tienen una gran proyección p...
