Cultivating Socialism
"Launched in 2004, the Latin American regional institution of ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra: Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America) sought to overcome the historical legacies of neo-colonial domination by consecrating the values of cooperation, inclusive development, and popular power. As part of a region-wide effort among states and social movements to break the socio-ecologically destructive effects of capitalist agriculture, the elevation of food sovereignty - based on the protections of rural livelihoods, land redistribution and sustainable agricultural production (agroecology) - became a cornerstone of ALBA's development policy. And yet, these region...
Agustín Cueva
Este libro se propone recorrer las distintas etapas en la producción teórica del sociólogo ecuatoriano Agustín Cueva. Indaga en una tensión que se hace presente en toda su trayectoria intelectual: choque de pulsiones que se produce en su obra entre, por un lado, la adopción del corpus conceptual de los clásicos del marxismo (Marx, Engels y Lenin) y por el otro, realizar ese recorrido en el estudio de la realidad latinoamericana. De ese modo, el libro de Andrés Tzeiman pretende mirar transversalmente la obra del intelectual ecuatoriano, colocando el foco de atención en aquella vocación que abre lugar y condensa una de las pulsiones más fecundas en Agustín Cueva: la de comprender las formaciones económico-sociales como el espacio donde se realiza el marxismo, y donde las clases se organizan y luchan en tanto sujetos históricos para acabar con la dominación capitalista.
Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements
Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements argues that multiple contemporary converging crises have significantly altered the context for and object of political contestations around agrarian, climate, environmental and food justice issues. This shift affects alliances, collaboration and conflict among and between state and social forces, as well as within and between social movements. The actual implications and mechanisms by which these changes are happening are, to a large extent, empirical questions that need careful investigation. The majority of the discussions in this volume are dedicated to the issue of responses to the crises both by capitalist forces and those adversely affected by the crises, and the implications of these for academic research and political activist work. Interdisciplinary in nature, Converging Social Justice Issues and Movements will be of great use to scholars of agrarian politics, as well as climate and environmental justice studies. The chapters were originally published as a special issue in Third World Quarterly.
La cuestión del estado en el pensamiento social crítico latinoamericano
En conjunto, los autores de este libro destacan acertadamente que la "especificidad histórica del Estado" en América Latina estaría dada por la heterogeneidad estructural y el carácter subordinado y dependiente de su inserción en la economía mundial, mientras que las múltiples especificidades nacionales devendrían de los procesos de conformación particular de sus clases fundamentales, sus intereses antagónicos, sus conflictos, sus luchas y sus articulaciones, en tensión permanente con su forma de inserción en los ciclos históricos de acumulación a escala global.

Contemporary Political Theory
Introducing the major theories, issues and concepts in contemporary political theory, this text is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the field. The book examines a range of topics to explore questions such as: What kinds of political community best support democracy? Do members of wealthy societies have duties to eradicate global poverty? Who or what should be the authority on human rights? Chapters are carefully organized to enhance learning by first setting out rival perspectives on key political issues which are then compared and analysed through a series of key debates. Discussion boxes are used throughout the book to consider the policy implications of different theoretical perspectives from thinkers including John Rawls, Susan Okin, Isaiah Berlin, Jane Mansbridge and Will Kymlicka. Offering an in-depth survey of the landscape of contemporary political theory and written in an engaging and lively style, this book will equip students with the tools to think through the complex questions whose answers determine our collective political lives.

En busca de los estudios organizacionales de Latinoamérica
Este libro surge institucionalmente en la Red de Estudios Organizacionales de Latinoamérica (REOL) y da cuenta de los desarrollos alcanzados, en esencia, en los siete países cuyas redes hoy la conforman (no se cuenta aquí la red venezolana, dado su muy reciente vinculación). Estos desarrollos son socializados por parte de investigadores seleccionados por esas redes académicas, las cuales se han conformado, de un modo u otro, alrededor del campo de los estudios organizacionales en cada una de estas naciones. Esta obra es el resultado de un prometedor ejercicio de integración de la comunidad académica latinoamericana interesada en aportar al desarrollo del campo de los estudios organiza...
Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations
In this new introduction to a classic philosophical text, David Stern examines Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. He gives particular attention to both the arguments of the Investigations and the way in which the work is written, especially the role of dialogue in the book. While he concentrates on helping the reader to arrive at his or h er own interpretation of the primary text, he also provides guidance to the unusually wide range of existing interpretations, and to the reasons why the Investigations have inspired such a diversity of readings.
