Book Description
El objetivo central del libro es hacer un aporte a la comprensión de algunas dimensiones del cambio de época. Se ha convertido en un lugar común decir que carecemos de códigos para su comprensión, aunque se multiplican los artículos y lbros que lo analizan. Esta percepción de la carencia de mapas cognitivos sobre la actualidad produce una incorfortable sensación adicional; la de no tener capacidad de dotar de sentido a este presente y menos aun de gobernarlo o dirigirlo. Este libro discute contra los enfoques que neutralizan la realidad actual, sea esta la del capitalismo neoliberal o la de la globalización. También sale al paso de los cómodos fatalismos, que neutralizan lo existente como si fuese necesario y además racional. Finalmente el libro es un llamado a construir capacidad política y social para dominar las tendencia que carcomen las identidades sociales y los Estados nacionales volcados hacia la globalización económica, sin renunciar por ello a valorar los aspectos creativos de la globalización.

Globalization

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The majority of people around the world are experiencing oppressive and destructive forces which manifest themselves in starvation, income polarisation, joblessness, stress, violence, and so on. What is the nature of these forces? If we call them "globalisation", can there be good globalisation as well as bad globalisation? Is this a new phenomenon or just a continuation of history as it has always been? This book brings together a wide range of expertise addressing these problems from a world-systems perspective.

Challenges for Human Rights
Author: Fernando Falcón y Tella
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047420411
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Nowadays we are fortunate enough to be experiencing a boom in human rights - an enormous increase of their importance in the international sphere at all levels (political, economic, social, legal and moral). For the first time the condition of the individual as “citizen,” and not just as “subject,” has gained importance. Individuals, and not only states, have now become the subjects of international law, as a result of the boom in humanitarian law and international criminal law. However, although there have been many battles won and goals met concerning human rights, the war against injustice continues and the fight has not ended. It is necessary to stay alert and to avoid a potentially paralyzing self-complacency. This collection focusses on topics that are particularly relevant for the present era. It examines issues such as multiculturalism, globalization, international criminal justice (specifically third and fourth generation rights) and, within this thematic framework, the problems that have come about as a result of the expanding reach of the Internet and of new biomedical advances. In addition, it explores the increasingly urgent challenge of how to respond to international terrorism, in view of worldwide events since September 11, 2001, and its resulting aftermath. Originally published in Spanish, this thought-provoking collection will be of interest to human rights scholars and practitioners alike.

On Democratic Politics
Author: Francisco Valdés-Ugalde
Publisher: Latin America Research Commons
ISBN: 1951634381
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
The German-born, Chilean author Norbert Lechner remains one of Latin America’s most prominent and creative social scientists. His work is indebted to the intense debates regarding theories of modernization, developmentalism, and dependence that took place in Latin American intellectual and political circles. These theoretical sources were present as a cognitive horizon in his essential writings, and many of the central concerns that enlivened his oeuvre arose from his intellectual immersion in these deliberations. If the confrontations with the revolutionary discourses of the 1960s informed his vision of the Latin American state, his experience with authoritarianism led him to pose a question that would become central to all his career: What does it mean to do politics, and what does it mean to do democratic politics? This anthology, which includes the first translations into English of three of his most outstanding works can guide our readers, like Ariadne’s thread, through the intellectual output of this great thinker. It should also be said that these writings contain some of the most intellectually stimulating approaches to political sociology written in Latin America. Published between the 1980s and the first decade of the 2000s, the texts cover a span of more than thirty years during which the author developed a very personal vision as he sought to understand politics in a different way.

Discourses of the Developing World
Author: Shi-xu
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317702557
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Against the backdrop of overwhelming discourse scholarship emanating from the Western cosmopolitan centres, this volume offers a development-centred approach to unfamiliar, marginalized or otherwise disadvantaged discourses of the Third World or the Global South. Written by leading researchers based in Asia, Africa and Latin America, respectively, this book reconstructs Eastern paradigms of communication studies on the one hand and explores the discursive problems, complexities, aspirations, and dynamics of the non-Western, subaltern, and developing societies on the other. As methodological principles, the authors i) adopt the cultural-political stance of supporting cultural diversity and harmony at both academic and everyday levels, ii) draw upon Asian, African and Latino scholarship in critical dialogue with the existing mainstream traditions, and iii) make sense of the discourses of Asia, Africa and Latin America from their own local as well as global, historical and intercultural, perspectives. This book will particularly appeal to scholars and students in the fields of discourse studies, communication and cultural studies, and development studies.

The New Extractivism
Author: James Petras
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1780329954
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
In a primary commodities boom spurred on by the rise of China, countries the world over are turning to the extraction of natural resources and the export of primary commodities as an antidote to the global recession. The New Extractivism addresses a fundamental dilemma faced by these governments: to pursue, or not, a development strategy based on resource extraction in the face of immense social and environmental costs, not to mention mass resistance from the people negatively affected by it. With fresh insight and analysis from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, this book looks at the political dynamics of capitalist development in a region where the neoliberal model is collapsing under the weight of a resistance movement lead by peasant farmers and indigenous communities. It calls for us to understand the new extractivism not as a viable development model for the post-neoliberal world, but as the dangerous emergence of a new form of imperialism.
