Debilidad institucional, seguridad y migración
La frontera colombo-venezolana es un espacio donde tienen lugar diversidad de órdenes sociales; lo cual es el resultado de los patrones irregulares de institucionalidad estatal y de la presencia de actores armados no estatales, así como de las características y la agencia de las comunidades locales. Este libro se propone analizar la compleja situación social y política que actualmente se vive en el espacio que divide a Colombia y Venezuela desde tres aspectos: la debilidad institucional de las administraciones de los municipios fronterizos, la masiva y precaria migración de ciudadanos venezolanos y la continua reconfiguración de las dinámicas de violencia e inseguridad. Así es como este título complementa una serie de publicaciones sobre dinámicas fronterizas, que son resultado del trabajo investigativo del Instituto de Desarrollo Político e Institucional (Idepi) y el Centro de Pensamiento UNCaribe de la Universidad del Norte.

Defining the Spatial Scale in Modern Regional Analysis
This book explores different approaches to defining the concept of region depending on the specific question that needs to be answered. While the typical administrative spatial data division fits certain research questions well, in many cases, defining regions in a different way is fundamental in order to obtain significant empirical evidence. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is dedicated to a methodological discussion of the concept of region and the different potential approaches from different perspectives. The problem of having sufficient information to define different regional units is always present. This justifies the second part of the book, which focuses on the techniques of ecological inference applied to estimating disaggregated data from observable aggregates. Finally, the book closes by presenting several applications that are in line with the functional areas definition in regional analysis.

A Week at Surfside Beach
Thousands of families and individuals are attracted to the South Carolina coast each year, renting houses up and down the beach throughout the seasons.

In A Week at Surfside Beach, author Pierce Koslosky Jr. has crafted sixteen poignant short stories that paint a vivid portrait of the beach's diverse, temporary inhabitants: those people attracted to a landscape both beautiful and overwhelming in its ability to force introspection and change. Set over the course of a single rental season that ends at Christmas, the book's unrelated characters all have their stays in the blue beach house, yet each story has a distinct messa...
