Regional Integration, Development, and Governance in Mesoamerica
This book provides an overview of governance and development in the Mesoamerican Region (MAR), the design and scope of the Plan Puebla Panamá (PPP), its relationship to pre-existing regional organisms and its transformation into Proyecto Mesoamérica. The PPP was introduced as a holistic project that would reverse the cycles of poverty in Mesoamerica. However, the plan incited huge opposition from many groups within Mesoamerica, and throughout its duration few of its objectives were met. The author analyses the plan and describes the regional setting and precursors, as well as the US policy towards the Mesoamerican countries. Using this approach with an analysis of governance in Mesoamerica, this monograph shows a more complete picture of why this ambitious development project did not reach its goals and draws applicable insights to other regions where governance is complex.

Nuestros años diez
Nuestros años diez trata sobre el indigenismo, los levantamientos indigenas y el incaismo modernista en el Peru de la decada de 1910. Este libro estudia uno de los mas intensos periodos de la historia del Peru. Pero deliberadamente focaliza en el aspecto indigena de la cuestion. Por eso, se centra en la accion de la Asociacion Pro-Indigena, el levantamiento de Rumi Maqui y el impulso del incaismo modernista, y no se detiene en otros puntos que ya han sido prolijamente estudiados. Ademas, aunque destaca el rol cumplido por Pedro S. Zulen, Teodomiro Gutierrez Cuevas y Abraham Valdelomar, reivindica tambien a una serie de personajes que se les condeno a ser los eternos convidados de piedra de la historia del Peru.
Guns, Drugs, and Development in Colombia
For decades, Colombia has contended with a variety of highly publicized conflicts, including the rise of paramilitary groups in response to rebel insurgencies of the 1960s, the expansion of an illegal drug industry that has permeated politics and society since the 1970s, and a faltering economy in the 1990s. An unprecedented analysis of these struggles, Guns, Drugs, and Development in Colombia brings together leading scholars from a variety of fields, blending previously unseen quantitative data with historical analysis for an impressively comprehensive assessment. Culminating in an inspiring plan for peace, based on Four Cornerstones of Pacification, this landmark work is sure to spur new calls for change in this corner of Latin America and beyond.

Negotiating Adult-Child Relationships in Early Childhood Research
Negotiating Adult–Child Relationships in Early Childhood Research presents a substantive critique of technicist and neoliberal approaches to ethics through an exploration of the complicated and often ‘messy’ situations faced in negotiating relationships in research with children. Despite growing acknowledgement of their centrality, relationships between adult researchers and very young participants have been neglected and under-theorised, and in response, this book offers a comprehensive conceptualisation of adult–child research relationships through examination of questions, including: How do power and inequity impact on adult–child research relationships? What does it mean for re...
Transformaciones Sociopoliticas Recientes En America Latina
America Latina esta viviendo multiples transformaciones locales que cumplen la funcion de aprendizajes politicos y organizacionales para los sujetos sin derechos. Sin embargo, lo realizado hasta ahora no es suficiente para enarbolarlo como un proceso de cambio social profundo que llegue a resarcir los hilos asociativos deteriorados por la atomizacion social provocada por el neoliberalismo; tampoco es la panacea para olvidar los agravios y la exclusion. Estos espacios focalizados son un recurso estrategico que posibilita visualizar mejor los problemas, colectivizar las preocupaciones y hurgar en la caja de herramientas de las practicas politicas de ayer, que podemos retomar o inventar para tr...
En Colombia Si Hay Guerra
Colombia se convirtio en un pais estrategico para los intereses norteamericanos. Ademas de su posicion geografica que colinda con cinco paises, posee la infraestructura construida desde hace anos para agenciar una guerra regional: 21 radares civiles, 17 militares, brigadas de desplazamiento rapido ubicadas en sitios neuralgicos del pais, zonas donde se produce carbon y petroleo militarizadas. A todo ello hay que agregar la decena de empresas norteamericanas ligadas a la guerra que prestan sus servicios en venta de armas, manejo de radares, uso de informacion satelital, desplazamiento en zonas peligrosas con tacticas contrainsurgentes, venta de helicopteros y asesoria especializadas para la g...
Redes e imaginario del exilio en México y América Latina
Nos referimos al período de entreguerras del siglo XX y a su onda expansiva de autoritarismo y exclusión. Melgar Bao analiza la porosidad de los espacios públicos nacionales desde el tejido (no siempre visible) de redes intelectuales y políticas transfronterizas, a fin de develar la trama subyacente de confrontación entre quienes detentan el poder y los opositores llevados al destierro, la clandestinidad y la cárcel. México resulta el país refugio de la mayoría de los exilios políticos, que van desde las corrientes y organizaciones socialistas (estalinistas o no), hasta las filiadas como populistas o nacionalistas radicales. Desde el México de Lázaro Cárdenas, el autor relata co...
