Formar una nación de todas las hermanas
Formar una nación de todas las hermanas rastrea la influencia de la Revolución Mexicana en la formación del movimiento estudiantil colombiano. Este libro reconstruye parte de la agenda diplomática de la legación mexicana en Colombia entre 1916 y 1920, prestando singular atención a la labor del representante de la Federación de Estudiantes de México, Carlos Pellicer Cámara, quien entabló una estrecha amistad con lo más selecto de la joven intelectualidad bogotana, dentro de la que se encontraban estudiantes como Germán Arciniegas, Augusto Ramírez Moreno y Germán Pardo García, entre otros. La correspondencia privada de Pellicer, así como la prensa estudiantil de la época y los periódicos de ambos países, fueron los insumos utilizados para recrear una épica gesta estudiantil que en poco tiempo logró conmover los cimientos enmohecidos del régimen conservador de Marco Fidel Suárez, a la vez que significó para sus protagonistas el inicio de una íntima camaradería intelectual que los uniría en las letras y en la política hasta el final de sus días.

The Greater Maghreb
This book represents a different approach in the study of the Sahel region in North Africa. Due to the hybrid security threats sweeping across the area, the whole region becomes a new security complex different from Middle East and more related to Western and Central Africa developments, including the impact of drug-trafficking coming from Latin America. This book discusses how the Transnational Organized Crime-Terrorism Nexus has created a very different dynamics from Middle East’s, hitting hard to people, societies and states there. The contributors argue that the countries in the area and the European Union should recognize this new complex and respond properly and differently to this situation.

Making Public in a Privatized World
How do we provide effective public services in a deeply neoliberal world? In the wake of the widespread failure of privatisation efforts, societies in the global south are increasingly seeking progressive ways of recreating the public sector. With contributors ranging from cutting-edge scholars to activists working in health, water, and energy provision, and with case studies covering a broad spectrum of localities and actors, Making Public in a Privatized World uncovers the radically different ways in which public services are being reshaped from the grassroots up. From communities holding the state accountable for public health in rural Guatemala, to waste pickers in India and decentralized solar electricity initiatives in Africa, the essays in this collection offer probing insights into the complex ways in which people are building genuine alternatives to privatization, while also illustrating the challenges which communities face in creating public services which are not subordinated to the logic of the market, or to the monolithic state entities of the past.
