En esta obra se analizan varios procesos de educación, acción colectiva, inclusión social, territorio, memoria e identidad, como resultado de los proyectos de investigación- intervención desarrollados por docentes y estudiantes de la Facultad de Sociología de la Universidad Santo Tomás. Gracias a la articulación con diferentes sectores sociales y comunidades, principalmente madres, lideresas comunitarias, adultos mayores, campesinos, niños, niñas y jóvenes, los autores exploran herramientas teóricas y metodológicas que implementan en organizaciones sociales, instituciones educativas y entidades públicas y privadas, con el propósito de mitigar o transformar diversas problemáticas locales.
A mediados de los años cincuenta se empieza a observar la proliferación de las llamadas urbanizaciones piratas y las invasiones de terrenos en Bogotá. En un primer momento, la respuesta desde el Estado se centró en su erradicación, pero luego dio paso a los programas de legalización y regularización de asentamientos informales. Una de las organizaciones más importantes en materia de apoyo a la población “destechada” en Colombia ha sido la Central Nacional Provivienda (Cenaprov), un referente nacional en materia de lucha por la vivienda. A partir del trabajo realizado entre 2015 y 2018 por líderes comunitarios y la Facultad de Sociología de la Universidad Santo Tomás, en esta obra se reconstruye la memoria del proceso de urbanización y consolidación del barrio Nuevo Chile, que se encuentra localizado al sur de la ciudad de Bogotá, y en cuyo surgimiento fue vital el papel de Cenaprov. Por lo anterior, es esta una contribución invaluable para la formación de profesionales comprometidos con las comunidades y el fortalecimiento del vínculo universidad-sociedad.

Two decades on from 9/11, the Taliban now control more than half of Afghanistan. Few would have foreseen such an outcome, and there is little understanding of how Afghans living in Taliban territory have navigated life under insurgent rule. Based on over 400 interviews with Taliban and civilians, this book tells the story of how civilians have not only bargained with the Taliban for their survival, but also ultimately influenced the course of the war in Afghanistan. While the Taliban have the power of violence on their side, they nonetheless need civilians to comply with their authority. Both strategically and by necessity, civilians have leveraged this reliance on their obedience in order t...
In Lawmaking under Pressure, Giovanni Mantilla analyzes the origins and development of the international humanitarian treaty rules that now exist to regulate internal armed conflict. Until well into the twentieth century, states allowed atrocious violence as an acceptable product of internal conflict. Why have states created international laws to control internal armed conflict? Why did states compromise their national security by accepting these international humanitarian constraints? Why did they create these rules at improbable moments, as European empires cracked, freedom fighters emerged, and fears of communist rebellion spread? Mantilla explores the global politics and diplomatic dynam...

Nadie duda de que los primeros seis meses de este 2020 han sido diciles, no solo para México sino para el mundo entero. La inesperada pandemia de covid–19 ha puesto en jaque a todas las economías del mundo y ha afectado a todas las esferas de la vida.

En este contexto, los contenidos de esta edición responden a preguntas urgentes: ¿cómo podrá recuperarse la economía? ¿se han vulnerado los de...
"Armed groups have played a predominant role in the violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law committed in conflict settings. The increase in the number of non-international armed conflicts during the past decades has emphasised the need to address the multiple legal challenges posed by the actions of armed groups. In particular, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the framework of responsibility for armed groups in international law. While much has been written regarding their international (primary) obligations, the possibility of developing a responsibility framework for armed groups under international law has been underexplored. Consequently...
