This enlightening volume examines the origins and development of the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS). It investigates how its structure and concept differed from other societies, and how the autonomy of IFPS members has remained fundamental from its inception up to the present day.

Las estrechas e históricas relaciones entre España y Puerto Rico, vivieron un momento profundamente convulso a fines del siglo XIX, como consecuencia del fin de la presencia española en la Isla, a raiz de la victoria norteamericana en aquella tristemente recordada Guerra del 98, con la cual se ponia fin a cuatro siglos de historia comun.En ese citado siglo, se contemplo en aquella isla caribeña bajo el prisma de las grandes transformaciones, tanto economicas como politicas, desarrolladas bajo el proceso constitucional de 1812, en el que Puerto Rico casi fue un mero espectador, hasta 1826 en donde el fracaso del mitico Congreso de Panama permitio neutralizar la amenaza del separatismo, debido a la incapacidad de las nuevas Republicas Americanas de conseguir la fundacion de un movimiento politico que coadyuvase a la independencia en la Isla, por mas que en Puerto Rico se observaran algunos signos de todo ello, como fueron el levantamiento del Regimiento de Granada, en 1838; el Grito de Lares, en 1868, coincidiendo con La Gloriosa en la Peninsula; y la fundacion del Partido Autonomista.Pero, ademas, el siglo XIX seria el de la cimentacion de una nueva nacionalidad, que desembocaria en el surgimiento de un nacionalismo puertorriqueño, que a la postre promoveria, al menos en cierto modo, su independencia de España. En este periodo la Isla, que antaño habia sido una pieza mas de cuantas ejercian funciones defensivas de los intereses españoles en el Continente y carente de propia conciencia, pasaria a ostentar un desarrollo politico-administrativo que impulsaria una comunicacion institucional de variados niveles y diferentes intereses. La segunda mitad de siglo conllevo una dependencia particular debido a la situacion de la Isla, las circunstancias internacionales y las propias necesidades de la Metropoli que desembocaron en la busqueda de su identidad entre el asimilismo, el autonomismo y la independencia de Puerto Rico.

A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in ones own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustines understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

En un mundo cada vez más dinámico y convulso, el multilateralismo y las organizaciones internacionales son una necesidad intrínseca a la escena internacional. Las contribuciones a esta obra, resultado de la Jornada celebrada con ocasion del XXX Aniversario del Master en Estudios internacionales de la Universidad de Barcelona, analizan el derecho y la practica de las organizaciones internacionales, en el ambito universal y tambien desde una perspectiva regional. En sus paginas, se ponen de manifiesto las tensiones que afloran entre el racionalismo, que comporta la definicion de bases juridicas y procedimientos comunes, y los unilateralismos, que buscan salvaguardar intereses particulares. En este escenario, se impone una suerte de catarsis de las organizaciones internacionales que les permita cumplir su papel al servicio de la humanidad en el siglo xxi, en el convencimiento de su caracter esencial para una gestion sostenible, resiliente y transparente de los crecientes retos globales que enfrentamos.

Foreign Policy, Most Anticipated Books of 2024 A stunning investigation and indictment of the elements in United States foreign lobbying industry and the threat they pose to democracy. For years, one group of Americans has worked as foot-soldiers for the most authoritarian regimes around the planet. In the process, theyve not only entrenched dictatorships and spread kleptocratic networks, but theyve secretly guided U.S. policy without the rest of America even being aware. And now, journalist Casey Michel contends some of them have begun turning their sights on American democracy itself. These Americans are known as foreign lobbyists, and many of them spent years ushering dictatorships directly into the halls of Washington, all while laundering the reputations of the most heinous, repressive regimes in the process. These lobbyists include figures like Ivy Lee, the inventor of the public relations industry - a man who whitewashed Mussolini, opened doors to the Soviets, and advised the Nazis on how to sway American audiences. They include people like Paul Manafort, who invented lobbying as we know it - and who then took his talents to autocrats from Ukraine to the Philippines, and then back to the White House. And they now include an increasing number of Americans elsewhere: in law firms and consultancies, among PR specialists and former lawmakers, and even within think tanks and universities. Many of these lobbyists have transformed into proxies for dictators and strongmen wherever they can be found. And for years, theyve escaped scrutiny. In Foreign Agents, Casey Michel shines a light on these foreign lobbyists, and all the damage and devastation they have caused in Washington and elsewhere. From Moscow to Beijing, from far-right nationalists to far-left communists, from anti-American autocrats to pro-Western authoritarians, these foreign lobbyists have helped any illiberal, anti-democratic government they can find. And after decades of success in installing dictator after dictator, and in tilting American policy in the process, some of these lobbyists have now begun trying to end Americas democratic experiment, once and for all.

Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe, it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia, while its domestic debates drift into abstract moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future, the country risks sliding further into managed decline, its global relevance steadily eroding.Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britains economic, ideological and strategic vulnerabilities, Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. He outlines a programme of reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all, as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the worlds most sophisticated intelligence networks, as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US, the UK can still shape global affairs.A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine, the book offers a global strategy for a once powerful nation, providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.

A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended. Tim Tate, author of Hitlers British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the ColdA captivating page-turner ... Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence Ambassadors daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted. Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitlers New Germany, befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo. An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelts inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallaces disastrous 1948 presidential campaign. Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard. Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitors Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodds life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

We have not been driven into Brexit at the point of a gun or out of economic necessity, but purely for cultural reasons. State of Paralysis explores the climate of opinion in Britain that has led to more than seventy years of indecision about our relationship with our continental neighbours and our role on the worlds stage. The post-war years saw many dramatic changes: the arrival of weapons of mass destruction, the nuclear industries, space travel, civil rights, global warming, the Internet, the digitalisation of behaviour and the loss of Empire. The aim of the European Union was to keep the peace on the continent and to face these global problems. But has it done so? Have we in Britain been able to adjust to the demands of the new worldor are we clinging on to a past that can never be recovered? John Elsom describes the political impasse in parliament and the country over the terms of Brexit to analyse what these motives were, how they were obtained and where their consequences may lead. He approaches these issues from the view of a political and cultural commentator, who has seen at first hand many of the changes that have affected all our lives.

The Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the publics relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British services and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal? In To Catch a Spy, Tim Tate reveals the astonishing true story of the British governments attempts to silence whistleblower Peter Wright and hide the truth about Britains intelligence services and political elites. Its a story of state-sanctioned cover-up plots; of the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world; and of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive. This is a tale of high treason and low farce. Drawing on thousands of pages of previously unpublished court transcripts, the contents of secret British government files, and original interviews with many of the key players in the Spycatcher trials, it draws back the curtain on a hidden world. A world where spies, politicians and Britains most senior civil servants conspired to ride roughshod over the law, prevented the public from hearing about their actions and mounted a cynical conspiracy to deceive the world. It is the story of Peter Wrights ruthless and often lawless obsession to uncover Russian spies, both real and imagined, his belated determination to reveal the truth and the lengths to which the British government would go to silence him.

A TIMES BEST PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2023AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK A necessary corrective to the sexism and misogyny rife in spy tales ... contains some eye-opening tales of espionageGUARDIANGrippingFINANCIAL TIMESA thrilling book, as propulsive as classic le CarreTHE TIMESAs much le Carre as it is Hidden Figures. AMARYLLIS FOX, author of Life UndercoverThe never-before-told story of a small cadre of influential female spies in the precarious early days of the CIA - women who helped create the template for cutting-edge espionage (and blazed new paths for equality in the workplace).In the wake of World War II, four agents were critical in helping build a new organisation now known as the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier, called the wise gals by their male colleagues because of their sharp sense of humour and even quicker intelligence, were not the stereotypical femme fatale of spy novels. They were smart, courageous, and groundbreaking agents at the top of their class, instrumental in both developing innovative tools for intelligence gathering - and insisting (in their own unique ways) that they receive the credit and pay their expertise deserved.Adelaide rose through the ranks, developing new cryptosystems that advanced how spies communicate with each other. Mary worked overseas in Europe and Asia, building partnerships and allegiances that would last decades. Elizabeth would risk her life in the Middle East in order to gain intelligence on deadly Soviet weaponry. Eloise would wield influence on scientific and technical operations worldwide, ultimately exposing global terrorism threats.Meticulously researched and beautifully told, Holt uses firsthand interviews with past and present officials and declassified government documents to uncover the stories of these four inspirational women. Wise Gals sheds a light on the untold history of the women whose daring foreign intrigues, domestic persistence, and fighting spirit have been and continue to be instrumental to the worlds security.

Es mucho lo que en los últimos tiempos se habla acerca de la historia de España y de la Corona de Aragón, en general, y de Cataluña, en particular. En su mayor parte, se trata como no podía ser de otra manera de aseveraciones construidas desde el rigor historico pero, no es menos cierto, que tambien en otras se hace desde la pura invencion o fabulacion, o cuando menos con una realidad historica ciertamente desvirtuada, generalmente impregnados por intereses de naturaleza politica.La presente obra es el resultado ultimo de las aportaciones de un nutrido grupo de profesores de universidad, expertos en los distintos periodos de la historia de España, en general, y de Cataluña, en particular.

EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA CONMEMORACIÓN DEL BICENTENARIO de las repúblicas hispanoamericanas y, por lo tanto, de la formalización del lugar de Colombia en la escena internacional, El comportamiento internacional de Colombia en el siglo XIX constituye una cartografia para ubicar a Colombia en el mundo y al mundo en el pais. Pretende ser una brujula que guie la exploracion de las diversas expresiones de lo internacional en Colombia durante dicho siglo con el fin de enriquecer la comprension de las dinamicas internacionales de nuestro pais y cuestionar el aparente determinismo de Estados Unidos como el gran actor desde el siglo XX. Tambien, contribuye al acercamiento disciplinar entre la historia y las relaciones internacionales en el pais, a la vez que cuestiona las narrativas tradicionales e interactua con nuevas corrientes historiograficas, incluye distintos actores cientificos y coleccionistas, entre otros y, ante todo, se constituye como un espacio de debate y dialogo para el estudio de las relaciones internacionales de manera interrelacionada. Si bien en algunos de los ensayos que componen el libro esta presente la perspectiva tradicional, que se centra en la diplomacia, las politicas gubernamentales y la economia, otros van mas alla y exploran diversas perspectivas.

Esta obra analiza las relaciones entre China y la Unión Europea y presenta un estudio prospectivo sobre los posibles escenarios entre las regiones. Detalla dos tendencias que están definiendo nuestro tiempo y que encarnan la Union Europa y China: una es la vision universalista y otra particularista. Para revisar estos dos panoramas, los autores examinan los elementos fundacionales de ambas politicas exteriores, la relacion con sus aspiraciones identitarias y el lugar que les toca desempeñar en ese mundo.

The arms race between the Soviet Union and the USA was the most dangerous confrontation in the history of the world. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchevs decision to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, and US President John F. Kennedys willingness to call his bluff, brought the Soviet Union and the West to the edge of a cataclysmic nuclear war. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Robert Holmes, a British diplomat in Moscow during the early 1960s, provides an answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the Cold War. Kennedys confidence in his brinkmanship hung on the evidence provided by Oleg Penkovsky, the MI6/CIA agent inside Soviet military intelligence. While working on A Spy Like No Other, Holmes set out to tell Penkovskys story. But, in doing so, he stumbled upon an astonishing chain of intrigue, betrayal and revenge that suggested a group of maverick Soviet intelligence officers had plotted the crime of the century. When Penkovskys treachery was discovered, in the middle of the Missile Crisis, he was executed and his boss, General Ivan Serov (the head of Soviet military intelligence and a former head of the KGB), was subsequently dismissed. The Soviet propaganda machine then thoroughly discredited Serov and consigned him to obscurity. In this extraordinary new study, Holmes suggests Serovs anger at the Wests victory in Cuba and his resentment at the treachery of his protege and his own downfall turned into an obsessive determination to gain revenge - and reveals the opportunity he had to do so by working with KGB rogue officers to enlist a young American loner, Lee Harvey Oswald, to assassinate the President.
