Economía política agraria del conflicto colombiano
Este libro analiza la relación entre el paramilitarismo y diferentes formas de conflictividad agraria en Colombia. A partir de diferentes casos de estudio de la Costa Caribe, los autores retoman debates cruciales sobre el papel de las élites agrarias y su compleja relación con los procesos de privatización de la violencia. ¿Por qué las élites ganaderas se articularon de una forma tan orgánica a la experiencia paramilitar? ¿Todas las élites agrarias hicieron lo mismo? ¿Cómo influyó la aparición de economías ilegales en el mundo rural? También se analizan el despojo de tierras paramilitar y sus diversas interacciones con las dinámicas de violencia, ilegalidad y concentración ...
Las reformas agrarias del Frente Nacional
En este libro se presentan los resultados de investigación del Observatorio de tierras sobre la reforma agraria más importante del siglo XX en Colombia. El Frente Nacional (1958-1974) fue un acuerdo de cogobierno entre los dos grandes partidos de ese momento, el Liberal y el Conservador, que habían estado adelantando ‘una guerra civil no declarada’ durante el periodo inmediatamente anterior, conocido como La Violencia. Durante el Frente Nacional se aprobaron dos grandes leyes de reforma agraria: una en 1961 (Ley 135) y otra en 1968 (Ley 1). Entre los propósitos de la segunda estaba profundizar y desarrollar la primera. Finalmente, desde enero de 1972 a través del llamado Pacto de Ch...

Clientelistic Warfare
This book analyzes the relationship between Colombian paramilitaries and the State in 1982-2007, which has proven to be complex as the former was not a homogenous force. New empirical evidence shows that there was a set of basic mechanisms, mediated by political institutions and clientelistic Colombian polity, that established a link between them.

Post-conflict Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration
This book revisits post-Cold War Disarmament Disintegration and Reintegration (DDR) programmes in the light of previous experiences of disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration. In the history of North America and Europe, in particular, such programmes had a major impact on state-building, contributing to the development of the welfare state, shaping political settlements and directing government policy to maintain social peace. The authors in this important book ask what is left of these state-building dimensions in contemporary DDR programmes and whether the constraints imposed by international organisations on DDR programmes have more negative effects than positive ones. The role of p...

Autoimmune Neurology
Autoimmune Neurology presents the latest information on autoimmune neurologic disease, the immune response to the body where organs run wild, causing the immune system to attack itself.

Over the past 20 years, significant advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders, including the use of biomarkers has led to new diagnosis and treatment options. Neurologic conditions associated with autoimmune reactions include dementia, neuromuscular disease, epilepsy, sleep disorders, diabetes, and other common neurologic disorders ...
