Migration and Health
A new introduction to a timeless dynamic: how the movement of humans affects health everywhere. International migrants compose more than three percent of the world’s population, and internal migrants—those migrating within countries—are more than triple that number. Population migration has long been, and remains today, one of the central demographic shifts shaping the world around us. The world’s history—and its health—is shaped and colored by stories of migration patterns, the policies and political events that drive these movements, and narratives of individual migrants. Migration and Health offers the most expansive framework to date for understanding and reckoning with human migration’s implications for public health and its determinants. It interrogates this complex relationship by considering not only the welfare of migrants, but also that of the source, destination, and ensuing-generation populations. The result is an elevated, interdisciplinary resource for understanding what is known—and the considerable territory of what is not known—at an intersection that promises to grow in importance and influence as the century unfolds.
A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power
The relationship between populism and democracy is contested among scholars. While some propose that populism is inherently harmful for democracy because it is anti-pluralist and confrontational, others argue that populism can reinvigorate worn-out democracies in need of greater popular participation. In A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power, Julio F. Carrión advances this debate by examining the empirical relationship between populism in power and democracy. Does populism in power always lead to regime change, that is, the demise of democracy? The answer is no. The impact of populism on democracy depends on the variety of populism in power: the worst outcomes in democratic governance are f...
States of Return
"State of Return theoretically explores the concept of "return" and ethnographically traces different experiences of return migration across the globe with emphases on temporality, kinship, and citizenship. Collectively, contributors show how return significantly reconfigures the lives of people as they move across borders"--
East Asia, Latin America, and the Decolonization of Transpacific Studies
In this collective work, researchers from different disciplines reflect upon the challenges and opportunities of decolonizing transpacific studies through the lens of a few paradigmatic case-studies that deal with connections between East Asia and Latin America. The present book offers a productive problematization of the idea of the transpacific as a concept and a space that is not restricted to a single definition. We defend that the transpacific can instead promote an understanding of agents and experiences that share many common traits that have been generally overlooked by a hegemonic interpretation of knowledge and the relationship between regions.By fostering an environment that not o...
Crossing
Today, the concept of "the refugee" as distinct from other migrants looms large. Immigration laws have developed to reinforce a dichotomy between those viewed as voluntary, often economically motivated, migrants who can be legitimately excluded by potential host states, and those viewed as forced, often politically motivated, refugees who should be let in. In Crossing, Rebecca Hamlin argues against advocacy positions that cling to this distinction. Everything we know about people who decide to move suggests that border crossing is far more complicated than any binary, or even a continuum, can encompass. Drawing on cases of various "border crises" across Europe, North America, South America, ...
Spain and the Wider World since 2000
This book offers the first comprehensive study of Spanish foreign policy since 2000. Based on privileged access to some of Spain’s most important foreign policy actors – including Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Foreign Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos – the book offers an insider account of how Spanish foreign policy was shaped within the context of international diplomacy. It offers crucial new insights into the foreign policy of the PSOE governments (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, 2004 to 2011). The volume considers the changes on the international stage since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, showing how regional conflicts and tensions affected the policy ag...
Los olvidados de la paz
Con esta nueva publicación, muy en el espíritu de nuestro Grupo de estudios interdisciplinario sobre paz, conflicto y posconflicto (JANUS), marcamos el acento sobre un hecho fundamental: como cualquier proceso político, económico, social y aún afectivo, la paz tiene sus olvidos y olvidados. Contrario al maniqueísmo radical de algunos sectores reaccionarios que le presentan a la opinión pública la imagen de una paz “perfecta”, y quienes no desaprovechan cualquier oportunidad para denunciar el actual proceso como inviable, nosotros consideramos que todo proceso de paz, desarrollado por humanos y desenvuelto en sociedades complejas es por naturaleza imperfecto, pero no por ello no d...
Ecos revolucionarios en el Caribe
Pocos vínculos han generado tanto revuelo en América Latina como el desplegado en los últimos decenios entre Cuba y Venezuela. Fruto de una visión similar de la realidad interna y sobre todo externa, estos dos países o mejor dicho sus regímenes, han establecido unas estrechas relaciones que han generado reacciones de todo tipo en la escena internacional y dentro de los propios países.La realidad es que la historia común, o al menos cercana, de estos dos países no comienza con la aproximación de Hugo Chávez y del bolivarianismo a la Revolución Cubana. Antes de la llegada de este militar golpista posteriormente electo por los venezolanos se producen una serie de choques, intercambi...
Debates y aportes al sistema integral de derecho penal. Obra homenaje al profesor Jorge Arenas Salazar
Este segundo tomo de la obra de investigación sobre los debates actuales del Sistema Penal Integral recoge las reflexiones que, sobre el campo penal, se hacen desde perspectivas transdisciplinares relacionadas con las criminologías contemporáneas y la política criminal actual. La necesidad de fundamentos empíricos para la formulación de política pública penal nos llevaron a abordar los problemas sociales actuales frente a fenómenos transnacionales y globales, tales como la criminalidad de los poderosos, el crimen organizado, el terrorismo, el derecho penal transnacional, el conflicto armado y los debates críticos relacionados con el populismo punitivo, la vulneración de derechos h...
Las Fuerzas Militares del posacuerdo
Los diálogos de paz entre el Gobierno Nacional y las farc permiten hablar de los posibles retos y transformaciones que están enfrentando y enfrentarán en el posacuerdo las Fuerzas Militares de Colombia. Este libro tiene por objetivo contribuir a esto a través de un análisis crítico de los documentos académicos y no-académicos sobre las FFMM en torno a la Memoria Histórica Militar, el proceso actual de transformación de las FFMM, la opinión y controversias públicas que construyen la percepción sobre las FFMM, y la Comisión de la verdad en relación con las FFMM. Para ello se presentan los aportes de las fuerzas militares al posacuerdo, las nuevas amenazas y oportunidades de mejo...
