Historia de la religión en Colombia, 1510-2021
Hasta hace poco tiempo la religión no era un tema de conversación en un hogar colombiano promedio. Era, eso sí, una vivencia, una práctica o, en el peor de los casos, una presencia nominal, esto es, se pertenecía a la religión por haber sido bautizado en ella, pero nada más. Sin embargo, desde hace un poco más de tres décadas, coincidiendo con la promulgación de la Constitución Política de 1991, la religión pasó a ser un tema de más abierta y amplia esfera de discusión. El hecho de que la cotidianidad mostrara la existencia de nuevas y variadas denominaciones religiosas, diferentes a la católica, y que a la vez estas tuvieran diversas formas cultuales, mostró la amplitud de...
Checoslovaquia, Europa Central y América Latina. El periodo de entreguerras
V období mezi světovými válkami se nadále posilovaly vztahy mezi střední Evropou a Latinskou Amerikou. Zejména Československu se otevíraly nové možnosti pro výhodnou hospodářskou spolupráci. Latinská Amerika se stala významným odbytištěm pro průmyslové výrobky a zároveň dodavatelem surovin pro československý průmysl. Autoři publikace popisují tyto rozvíjející se (nejen) ekonomické vztahy s důrazem na styky s Argentinou, která byla v meziválečných desetiletích pro československé exportéry a importéry nejvýznamnějším obchodním partnerem v regionu. Zaměřují se také na oblast politickou (například na aktivity Mexika) a věnují pozornost i ...
The Ideational Approach to Populism
Populism is on the rise in Europe and the Americas. Scholars increasingly understand populist forces in terms of their ideas or discourse, one that envisions a cosmic struggle between the will of the common people and a conspiring elite. In this volume, we advance populism scholarship by proposing a causal theory and methodological guidelines – a research program – based on this ideational approach. This program argues that populism exists as a set of widespread attitudes among ordinary citizens, and that these attitudes lie dormant until activated by weak democratic governance and policy failure. It offers methodological guidelines for scholars seeking to measure populist ideas and test their effects. And, to ground the program empirically, it tests this theory at multiple levels of analysis using original data on populist discourse across European and US party systems; case studies of populist forces in Europe, Latin America, and the US; survey data from Europe and Latin America; and experiments in Chile, the US, and the UK. The result is a truly systematic, comparative approach that helps answer questions about the causes and effects of populism.
The Politics of Food in Mexico
Compares a range of Mexican food policy reforms, focusing on the SAM (Mexican Food System), a program in place from 1980-82, designed to shift subsidies and privileged access from large private farmers and ranchers to peasants and small producers. In this context, Fox (political science, MIT) examines the limits and possibilities of political reform, and its history and future in the Mexican state.

Manual of Galician Linguistics
The Manual of Galician Linguistics provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the current situation of the Galician language and introduces its readers to the most important topics of current linguistic research on Galician. Thevolume includes chapters covering diachronic and synchronic descriptions of all main areas of language structure (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicology), as well chapters on social and regional variation, language contact, sociolinguistics, language variation and other interesting areas of linguistic research. Rich in descriptive details and grounded in modern linguistic theory, this manual will be an essential research tool for students and researchers who are interested in the Galician language and in Romance linguistics. The preparation of this work has been partially funded through grants from the Ministerio de Cultura of the Government of Spain to the Instituto da Lingua Galega, and from the Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Universidade of the Xunta de Galicia to the research group Filoloxía e Lingüística Galega of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (ED431C 2021/20).
