Land Reform Under Structural Adjustment in Zimbabwe
This study represents a first systematic effort to document Zimbabwe "s new land uses during the years of economic crisis, the role of the state in promoting them, the differentiation associated with them, not only between black and white farmers, but also among them, and the implications of all these for the political economy of the Zimbabwean land question. The fact that some of the new land uses avoid redistribution of clearly under-utilised large scale commercial farms suggests that the Zimbabwean land question will remain a live political issue for a long time.

La captura del Estado en América Latina
Muchos gobiernos latinoamericanos han sido capturados por los grupos de más altos ingresos con la colaboración de los políticos, situación que genera desconfianza, malestar y estallidos de ira popular. El poder de las grandes corporaciones es más grande que nunca, actúan en múltiples países, y se organizan para influir la política a nivel internacional, nacional y local gracias a los enormes recursos materiales que concentran, su gran capacidad organizativa y su imagen como vanguardia de la modernización. Nos enfrentamos a un aumento dramático del poder de las grandes corporaciones, estados debilitados y una sociedad civil dispersa. En esta situación, la financiación electoral, el lobby, la puerta giratoria y los sobornos permiten a las élites económicas dictar o comprar leyes. Este libro brinda una teoría indispensable para entender cómo funciona este sistema y cuáles son sus consecuencias para el bienestar social y la democracia.

Counting on Marilyn Waring
This edited volume maps new advances in theories and practices in feminist economics and the valuation of women, care and nature since Marilyn Waring’s groundbreaking critique of the system of national accounts, If Women Counted (1988). It features theoretical, practical and policy oriented contributions, empirical studies, and new conceptualizations, theorizations and problematizations of defining and accounting for the value of nature and unpaid household work, eco-feminism, national and international policy processes, gender budgeting, unpaid care and HIV/AIDS policy, activism and artwork, and mirrors the wide-ranging impact and resonance of Waring’s work as well as the current frontiers of feminist economics.
Attentional Capture
The notion that certain mental or physical events can capture attention has been one of the most enduring topics in the study of attention owing to the importance of understanding how goal-directed and stimulus-driven processes interact in perception and cognition. Despite the clear theoretical and applied importance of attentional capture, a broad survey of this field suggests that the term "capture" means different things to different people. In some cases, it refers to covert shifts of spatial attention, in others involuntary saccades, and in still others general disruption of processing by irrelevant stimuli. The properties that elicit "capture" can also range from abruptly onset or movi...
