Book Description
En un mundo convulso, donde la violencia es un fenómeno cotidiano que, según la oms, deja más de 1.4 millones de muertos al año, promover la paz se vuelve un imperativo. Esta obra busca alejarse lo más posible del enfoque violentológico, para articular un discurso en favor de la convivencia por medios pacíficos, mediante la cultura de paz y la educación para la paz, así como en distintos escenarios, como alternativa para enfrentar la violencia enraizada en las sociedades contemporáneas. En estas páginas, Gerardo Pérez Viramontes vierte 25 años de reflexiones teóricas, intervenciones prácticas y discusiones en el aula: desde su experiencia en aquel año de 1994 en que se exigía el cese al fuego entre el ezln y el Ejército mexicano, hasta el empoderamiento de diversas agrupaciones sociales que han trabajado en los últimos años en su ciudad, Guadalajara (México), a favor de una movilidad no motorizada, los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, o la defensa del territorio. Si bien este libro está dirigido principalmente para estudiosos del tema, se recomienda su lectura para todos aquellos interesados en hacer las paces, habitantes de esta sociedad, ya que, en muchos sentidos, como dice el autor, “la construcción de la paz es algo que depende de nosotros mismos”.

Book Description
This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.

Book Description
Western struggles—and failures—to create functioning states in countries such as Iraq or Afghanistan have inspired questions about whether statebuilding projects are at all viable, or whether they make the lives of their intended beneficiaries better or worse. In this groundbreaking book, Oliver Richmond asks why statebuilding has been so hard to achieve, and argues that a large part of the problem has been Westerners’ failure to understand or engage with what local peoples actually want and need. He interrogates the liberal peacebuilding industry, asking what it assumes, what it is getting wrong, and how it could be more effective.
