Handbook of Research on Organizational Sustainability in Turbulent Economies
Organizational sustainability and uncertain economies are key topics for modern organizations. New, updated knowledge about such matters is necessary for companies to ensure they are sufficiently prepared for future crises. Additional research is required in this area as the overall amount of material available is below par. The Handbook of Research on Organizational Sustainability in Turbulent Economies provides theoretical and practical evidence that demonstrates how the integration, adaptation, construction, and application of strategic models, methods, and tools can promote organizational sustainability for economies in situations of uncertainty. Covering topics such as work engagement and sustainable development goals, this major reference work is ideal for academicians, practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, researchers, instructors, and students.

The Persistence of Local Caudillos in Latin American
Despite democratization at the national level, local political bosses still govern many municipalities in Latin America. Caudillos and clans often use informal political practices—ranging from clientelism and patronage to harassment of political opposition—to control local political dynamics. These arbitrary and, at times, abusive practices pose important challenges to how Latin American democracy works and how power is exercised after the decentralization reforms in the region. These reforms promised to bring the government closer to the people and to promote popular participation. In many cases, these ideals are unmet, and newly empowered local politicians have been able to turn municipalities into personal fiefdoms. This book explores how local caudillos stay in power and why some are more successful than others in retaining office. Tomáš Došek provides an in-depth analysis of six cases from Chile, Paraguay, and Peru to show the strategies that caudillos pursue to secure power and the mistakes they commit that drive them out.
Colombia conectada
Colombia conectada refuta la visión “aislacionista” de la historia de Colombia. En contra de la idea del “Tíbet de Sudamérica” (Alfonso López Michelsen), se evidencia que tanto en el siglo XIX como en el siglo XX hubo episodios de fuerte integración global. En ese sentido, los autores visibilizan las conexiones rotas por una historiografía enfocada en el Estado-nación como unidad de análisis. Sin embargo, como lo muestran los aportes en este texto, incluso la nación misma ha sido resultado de contactos y transferencias dentro de un contexto global. De ninguna manera, su formación puede explicarse de forma autorreferencial, como todavía ocurre en una buena parte de la producción académica del país. Periodos históricos tradicionalmente relacionados con el aislamiento político, la autarquía económica o el “desarrollo hacia adentro” se caracterizaron en realidad por múltiples formas de intercambio global, flujos, transferencias y conexiones, aunque el Estado no haya sido siempre protagónico en estos procesos. Así pues, los estudios de caso que conforman esta compilación demuestran el potencial de una historia global hecha en Colombia.
