Book Description
En la última década del siglo xv, los desembarcos de Cristóbal Colón en Guanahaní y de Vasco da Gama en Calicut inauguraron el Primer Orden Mundial de alcance planetario y, también, la globalización. Durante los cinco siglos transcurridos desde entonces, la formación del orden mundial reflejó los cambios en la tecnología y la productividad, sobre cuyas bases se transformaron luego el ejercicio del poder y los sistemas de dominación que articularon las relaciones internacionales. La historia de la globalización puede ser abordada a partir de una periodización elaborada teniendo en cuenta la distinta naturaleza de las fuerzas operantes en la formación del sistema planetario. La primera etapa, el Primer Orden Mundial comprendido entre 1500 y 1800, fue objeto del volumen Historia de la globalización I. Orígenes del Orden Económico Mundial. Este volumen se ocupa del Segundo Orden Mundial. Incluye, como fenómeno dominante, la Revolución Industrial y abarca desde los alrededores de 1800 hasta el estallido, en 1914, de la primera gran guerra del siglo XX.

Book Description
La expansión de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación y el impulso renovado a la apertura de los intercambios comerciales entre las naciones son datos que parecerían confirmar que la «globalización» del planeta, el paso de escalas nacionales y regionales a una escala global de intercambios y de relaciones, es algo reciente. Sin embargo, a pesar de la magnitud que ha alcanzado, el fenómeno de la globalización no es nuevo. Tiene exactamente una antigüedad de cinco siglos, cuando, por primera vez en la historia, se verificaron simultáneamente dos condiciones: el aumento de la productividad del trabajo y un orden mundial global. Entonces aparece, en escala planetaria, el dilema fundamental de las interacciones entre el ámbito interno y el contexto mundial como determinante del desarrollo y el subdesarrollo de los países, y del reparto del poder entre los mismos. En esta obra, Aldo Ferrer se ocupa precisamente de los orígenes del proceso globalizador, con la convicción de que el pasado es una fuente inagotable de enseñanzas para comprender los problemas actuales de la internacionalización, ya sea que deriven de la producción o de la globalización financiera, pero también de las migraciones, del crecimiento demográfico, de la pobreza o de las agresiones al medio ambiente. En un recorrido que, partiendo de las vísperas de la expansión de Europa, recorre hasta fines del siglo XVIII –el período que cubre, según la expresión del autor, el Primer Orden Económico Mundial–, Ferrer estudia los principales hitos de un proceso globalizador de cuya sorprendente evolución somos protagonistas y testigos. Libro de historia económica y política, pero también religiosa y demográfica, Historia de la globalización I es una obra apasionante y, al mismo tiempo, fundamental para entender el complejo mundo que habitamos.

Book Description
This edited collection examines the evolution of regional inequality in Latin America in the long run. The authors support the hypothesis that the current regional disparities are principally the result of a long and complex process in which historical, geographical, economic, institutional, and political factors have all worked together. Lessons from the past can aid current debates on regional inequalities, territorial cohesion, and public policies in developing and also developed countries. In contrast with European countries, Latin American economies largely specialized in commodity exports, showed high levels of urbanization and high transports costs (both domestic and international). This new research provides a new perspective on the economic history of Latin American regions and offers new insights on how such forces interact in peripheral countries. In that sense, natural resources, differences in climatic conditions, industrial backwardness and low population density areas leads us to a new set of questions and tentative answers. This book brings together a group of leading American and European economic historians in order to build a new set of data on historical regional GDPs for nine Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. This transnational perspective on Latin American economic development process is of interest to researchers, students and policy makers.

Book Description
The book is presented as an Atlas where the map plays a fundamental role in the study of quality of life, as it shows its progression in Argentina from the 19th to the 21st Century. In the book, it can be observed how the concept has evolved along with the dimensions and variables that better represent its spatial distribution. This is one of the original points of the book: the temporal study of the living conditions of the argentine population, empirically and spatially, emphasizing their territorial representation. Although the book maintains the same socioeconomic dimensions (education, health and housing), the tour through the different chapters offers a historical window that allows the reader to know what the forms of information collection were like in different historical moments. This book is written for geographers and members of the scientific community interested in the study of the well-being of the population. It also allows us to observe the evolution of the quality of life from the 19th century to the 21st, so it may be of interest to historians as well.

Book Description
From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Book Description
A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century, originally published in Buenos Aires in 1994, attained instant status as a classic. Written as an introductory text for university students and the general public, it is a profound reflection on the “Argentine dilemma” and the challenges that the country faces as it tries to rebuild democracy. Luis Alberto Romero brilliantly and painstakingly reconstructs and analyzes Argentina’s tortuous, often tragic modern history, from the “alluvial society” born of mass immigration, to the dramatic years of Juan and Eva Perón, to the recent period of military dictatorship. For this second English-language edition, Romero has written new chapters covering the Kirchner decade (2003–13), the upheavals surrounding the country’s 2001 default on its foreign debt, and the tumultuous years that followed as Argentina sought to reestablish a role in the global economy while securing democratic governance and social peace.
