Rigor y vigor en los estudios de gobierno y políticas públicas: diseño, análisis y exposición
Esta Cartilla constituye una apuesta por una ruta académica y científica para realizar con rigor y vigor –como lo afirman sus autores– un trabajo de investigación capaz de expresar en él la formación y los conocimientos adquiridos sobre los fenómenos y los problemas de gobierno, los avatares de la gobernanza democrática, la acción pública, la gestión gubernamental y sus relaciones con la sociedad; todo ello reflejado en la claridad en la formulación de un problema, las preguntas en torno al mismo y las hipótesis o afirmaciones provisionales que configuran la propuesta de investigación. Si bien su objetivo es apoyar al estudiante de la Maestría en Gobierno y Políticas Públicas, también le será útil a cualquier persona que realice el trabajo intelectual de elaborar su trabajo de grado. Presenta una fundamentación que le permite al estudiante abordar el camino de la investigación científica, así como la exposición de los hallazgos. En síntesis, se presentan elementos prácticos, a modo de orientaciones y sugerencias, que permiten asumir el reto de hacer un trabajo de grado y escribirlo.
La vida buena, sus técnicas y sus figuraciones
Las diversas formas del existir humano y de las expresiones materiales e inmateriales de su autocomprensión han sido objeto, en los estudios humanísticos, de un tratamiento plural e interdisciplinario en el que pervive la idea del mejoramiento posible de las facultades humanas y de sus efectos positivos para la convivencia con los otros y en la naturaleza, más allá, claro, de la inevitable acumulación de desencanto crítico y escepticismo ante progresos lineales, grandes relatos e identidades esencialistas. En sintonía con lo anterior, este libro ofrece una serie de miradas contemporáneas al problema de la vida buena, y se concentra en esclarecer, en cada caso, dimensiones específicas de las técnicas y figuraciones con las que la vida se da forma a sí misma

Cuban Revelations
In Cuban Revelations, Marc Frank offers a first-hand account of daily life in Cuba at the turn of the twenty-first century, the start of a new and dramatic epoch for islanders and the Cuban diaspora. A U.S.-born journalist who has called Havana home for almost a quarter century, Frank observed in person the best days of the revolution, the fall of the Soviet Bloc, the great depression of the 1990s, the stepping aside of Fidel Castro, and the reforms now being devised by his brother. Examining the effects of U.S. policy toward Cuba, Frank analyzes why Cuba has entered an extraordinary, irreversible period of change and considers what the island's future holds. The enormous social engineering ...

The 'Local Turn' in Peacebuilding
Contemporary practices of international peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction are often unsatisfactory. There is now a growing awareness of the significance of local governments and local communitites as an intergrated part of peacebuilding in order to improve quality and enhance precision of interventions. In spite of this, ‘the local’ is rarely a key factor in peacebuilding, hence ‘everyday peace’ is hardly achieved. The aim of this volume is threefold: firstly it illuminates the substantial reasons for working with a more localised approach in politically volatile contexts. Secondly it consolidates a growing debate on the significance of the local in these contexts. Thirdly, it problematizes the often too swiftly used concept, ‘the local’, and critically discuss to what extent it is at all feasible to integrate this into macro-oriented and securitized contexts. This is a unique volume, tackling the ‘local turn’ of peacebuilding in a comprehensive and critical way. This book was published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
