La Convención Constitucional: Circo y máquina
El 4 de julio de 2021, el proceso constitucional iniciado en Chile entraba en su etapa decisiva. En la sede del Congreso Nacional en Santiago, 155 convencionales elegidos para redactar una nueva Constitución asumirían sus cargos. Ante los ojos de una ciudadanía que seguía el evento-espectáculo por televisión empezaron a aparecer acróbatas, magos, contorsionistas. Pero tras dicha frivolización de la política había, ante todo, una máquina que operó día y noche, con engranajes especialmente diseñados para cumplir funciones específicas; una máquina manejada con cálculo y precisión para que el texto final consagrara normativamente ciertas ideologías. Hoy, a meses de ser rechazada la propuesta de Constitución, miramos más allá de la colorida función –que tomamos como punto de partida– para profundizar en su afán refundacional.
The Foundations of Socratic Ethics
In this provocative new work, Alfonso Gomez-Lobo proposes that the earliest Platonic writings, in particular Apology, Crito, and sections of Gorgias, contain an underlying moral philosophy that can be attributed to Socrates with some degree of assurance. His aim is to show that Socratic moral philosophy is a reasonably systematic construction generated by a small number of principles or axioms.
Natural Law, Liberalism, and Morality

Urbanization in History
This book represents an important contribution to the history of urbanization. The introduction offers a clear and instructive discussion of fundamental concepts, processes and measurement problems, summarizes latest research findings and goes on to detect new topics of particular currentinterest.Four principal areas of contemporary research on urbanization are covered: urban hierarchies and networks, urban-rural economic links, and migration and demographic patterns. The issues are discussed both in general terms and in the context of specific countries, cities and historical periods.New areas of analysis, such as the study of migration flows by age, sex or social group, and the comparative east-west apprach of several of the chapters will serve to broaden the traditional scope of research and stimulate further work in the field.
Confronting Revolution
This is a practical, thoughtful analysis of U.S. policy in Central America. The authors explain the interests of each major actor in the region, with key chapters on the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua, and they examine the Contadora peace proposal by Mexico, Columbia, Panama, and Venezuela. They conclude that East-West conflict is secondary to Central American policy and that diplomacy is the key solution to peace. ISBN 0-394-74453-5 (pbk.): $12.95.
Cruelty and Utopia
This landmark collection of illustrated essays explores the vastly underappreciated history of America's other cities -- the great metropolises found south of our borders in Central and South America. Buenos Aires, So Paulo, Mexico City, Caracas, Havana, Santiago, Rio, Tijuana, and Quito are just some of the subjects of this diverse collection. How have desires to create modern societies shaped these cities, leading to both architectural masterworks (by the likes of Luis Barragn, Juan O'Gorman, Lcio Costa, Roberto Burle Marx, Carlos Ral Villanueva, and Lina Bo Bardi) and the most shocking favelas? How have they grappled with concepts of national identity, their colonial history, and the cont...
