Protocolos de Familia: su relevancia como mecanismo de gobierno familiar y empresarial
Este libro constituye un documento relevante para las empresas familiares y sus grupos de interés pues analiza específicamente los protocolos de familia como mecanismo de gobierno corporativo y familiar. Inicialmente se plantea una discusión detallada respecto de las posiciones teóricas y de las investigaciones en la materia, y luego, mediante un minucioso análisis de diferentes protocolos de familia, se delinean las principales consideraciones que emergen y que son tenidas en cuenta en el proceso de estructuración de esos documentos. Se recogen, entre otros aspectos, las principales motivaciones que llevan a una familia a realizar un protocolo, la comprensión de su significado y alcance, los principales apartes que lo componen, y el rol del asesor externo en el acompañamiento a la familia.
El interés público en América Latina
El derecho se entiende hoy como una herramienta idónea para producir cambios en las sociedades y atender las necesidades y desafíos modernos, lo cual era casi impensable hace algunos años; se concibe como un medio para formar profesionales, pero, ante todo, abogados que son conscientes de su rol transformador en un contexto social con amplias necesidades. Por ello, la preocupación actual de las universidades y organizaciones sociales en el mundo, es formar líderes propositivos, apropiados de su papel como ciudadanos, con gran sentido social y de pertenencia, con destacadas habilidades para incidir en la formación de leyes, sentencias y políticas públicas, y resolver problemas cotidia...
Car Safety Wars
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
No Accident
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...

Worldviews, Science And Us: Philosophy And Complexity
Scientific, technological, and cultural changes have always had an impact upon philosophy. They can force a change in the way we perceive the world, reveal new kinds of phenomena to be understood, and provide new ways of understanding phenomena. Complexity science, immersed in a culture of information, is having a diverse but particularly significant impact upon philosophy. Previous ideas do not necessarily sit comfortably with the new paradigm, resulting in new ideas or new interpretations of old ideas.In this unprecedented interdisciplinary volume, researchers from different backgrounds join efforts to update thinking upon philosophical questions with developments in the scientific study of complex systems. The contributions focus on a wide range of topics, but share the common goal of increasing our understanding and improving our descriptions of our complex world. This revolutionary debate includes contributions from leading experts, as well as young researchers proposing fresh ideas.
The First Maya Civilization
When the Maya kings of Tikal dedicated their first carved monuments in the third century A.D., inaugurating the Classic period of Maya history that lasted for six centuries and saw the rise of such famous cities as Palenque, Copan and Yaxchilan, Maya civilization was already nearly a millennium old. Its first cities, such as Nakbe and El Mirador, had some of the largest temples ever raised in Prehispanic America, while others such as Cival showed even earlier evidence of complex rituals. The reality of this Preclassic Maya civilization has been documented by scholars over the past three decades: what had been seen as an age of simple village farming, belatedly responding to the stimulus of more advanced peoples in highland Mesoamerica, is now know to have been the period when the Maya made themselves into one of the New World's most innovative societies. This book discusses the most recent advances in our knowledge of the Preclassic Maya and the emergence of their rainforest civilization, with new data on settlement, political organization, architecture, iconography and epigraphy supporting a contemporary theoretical perspective that challenges prior assumptions.

60 años bajo el signo de la prohibición: balances críticos de la política de drogas e iniciativas de cambio
MAs de 100.000 personas, entre ellas millares de menores de edad, mueren anualmente debido a sobredosis de fentanilo en los Estados Unidos. Esta sustancia, en sus diferentes presentaciones, encabeza la Lista I que la Convención Única de 1961 sabre Estupefacientes catalogo como estupefacientes "sujetos a todas las medidas de fiscalización". Aunque de otra índole, en Colombia los problemas que ha arrastrado esta lista resultan igualmente inquietantes. En ella se encuentran tanto la cocaína como las hojas de coca, y en las otras dos listas hay fármacos para los que estas medidas no son tan drásticas. Luego de seis décadas bajo el signo de la prohibición, el balance de la política de d...
