El viajero contemporáneo no brinda mapas a su regreso. Lejos de un afán descriptivo o documental, en las primeras décadas del siglo XXI el viaje literario no solo se nutre temáticamente del desplazamiento sino que ademas lo encarna con la constante variacion de sus estructuras. En un contexto de profundo calado de la retorica del viaje, este ensayo parte de una reflexion sobre los conceptos de movilidad y mutacion que definen a un tiempo el presente y las obras literarias que cifran su existencia en la superacion de unas fronteras que son geograficas, pero tambien creativas. Esta naturaleza propicia su devenir generico, dando lugar a las derivas o desviaciones del relato hibrido respecto al paradigma tradicional. En el curso de estas derivas se identifican, ademas, tres vi(r)ajes genericos que implican a la forma del relato y en los que el viaje se acerca a las formas hibridas de la cronica, el dietario y el ensayo. Situado en la encrucijada que forman los vi(r)ajes y los tres grandes territorios donde se despliega la escritura en movimiento el espacio por el que transita, la experiencia identitaria que supone y la literatura con la que dialoga, el corpus analizado en este volumen da cuenta de la diversidad editorial que atañe al relato de viaje asi como de la heterogeneidad formal de unos textos que prefieren el trayecto al destino, el estilo fragmentario y digresivo a la exhaustiva descripcion. No esperes de mi los mapas. Las derivas del viaje en la literatura hispanica del siglo XXI explora, en fin, los relatos del viajero contemporaneo que acomoda su condicion errante a la escritura.

What you believe about politics matters. The decades since the Cold War, with new alignments of post9/11 global politics and the chaos of the late 2010s, are swirling with alternative visions of political life, ranging from ethnic nationalism to individualistic liberalism.Political ideologies are not merely a matter of governmental efficacy, but are intrinsically and inescapably religious: each carries certain assumptions about the nature of reality, individuals and society, as well as a particular vision for the common good. These fundamental beliefs transcend the political sphere, and the astute Christian observer can discern the wayssometimes subtle, sometimes notin which ideologies are rooted in idolatrous worldviews.In this freshly updated, comprehensive study, political scientist David Koyzis surveys the key political ideologies of our era, including liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, democracy, and socialism. Koyzis gives each philosophy careful analysis and fair critique, unpacking the worldview issues inherent to each and pointing out essential strengths and weaknesses, as well as revealing the "narrative structure" of eachthe stories they tell to make sense of public life and the direction of history. Koyzis concludes by proposing alternative models that flow out of Christianitys historic engagement with the public square, retrieving approaches for both individuals and the global, institutional church that hold promise for the complex political realities of the twenty-first century.Writing with broad international perspective and keen analytical insight, Koyzis is a sane and sensible guide for Christians working in the public square, culture watchers, political pundits, and all students of modern political thought.

What does it mean to obsess about clothes and appearances? For some of us, deciding what to wear can involve tension and torment as well as delight. What do we mean by looking classy or power dressing? What are the connections or contradictions between dress and desire, glamour and feminism? Do our choices reflect or challenge social values and constraints in womens lives?Appearances is both memoir and cultural history. It considers attitudes to personal appearance through four generations of women in the authors family, weaving memory through a wide-ranging exploration of fashion, femininity and feminism in the recent past.

The young woman was weaving a shawl. Jacqueline offered to purchase this square of colourful fabric, a few coins jingled on the table. A man immediately appeared and took the money.In 1993 Jacqueline de Chollet founded The Veerni Project (Veer Ni, the brave woman in Hindi) which strives to uplift women and girls, to break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality, and provide them with essential skills and knowledge through the establishment of a program to attend good secondary schools universal secondary education being a sustainable goal of the United Nations as well as training centres and healthcare facilities.Secondary schooling is often unavailable in many rural settings particularly in the desert area of Rajasthan. By fostering self reliance and promoting womens rights through education, this uplifting story sheds a light on how such endeavours aim to create a sustainable impact on the lives of women, fostering a brighter future for generations to come so that womens voices can be heard in their communities and their countries.This cultural and sociological adventure takes on a global dimension on the role of women, their struggles, their future and their hopes. These brave women will make the world a better place for all.

There is a strong interest in debating the most urgent questions emerging in Europe today, questions around concepts such as "consensus", "solidarity", "integration" and "participation".This e-book is the summary of papers presented at the workshop "From Ideas on Europe to the European Citizens: Why Europe?" at the German-Italian bilateral association Villa Vigoni. The first part of this e-book examines what past generations expected of Europe, in particular which answers were given to the question "Why Europe?". The second part of the e-book addresses the concept of "European Citizenship", within the legal and political framework of the idea of "citizen" ("Burger", "cittadino") in a European dimension. The third part consists of some critical analyses of the contemporary make up of European societies.

Today, when so many countries share the same transboundary river basins, unilateral water management becomes extremely critical. Joint water management, on the other hand, faces many obstacles, because of states interests in particular function of the water. Water is needed for drinking, household, irrigation, hydro-energy, fishing, navigation, tourism as well as many other purposes, and unfortunately, it cannot meet all needs simultaneously. The satisfaction of one need often impedes the others. In this regard, transboundary river basins often create challenges among states by leading them to negotiate in asymmetric relations.This book is an attempt to address the effectiveness of transboundary water management from a social and political perspective by offering new theoretical underpinnings to understand the success conditions in sharing transboundary water resources. The author focused in the work on three conditions, i.e. institutional conditions and country specific conditions, as well as conditions of regional integrity level and role of external actors. The proposed conditions were tested on two river basins i.e. the successful one in the example of Orange/Senqu river basin and unsuccessful one in the case of Naryn/Syrdarya river basin.

SUBNATIONAL OR REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS with legislative competences are increasingly active in EU affairs and are recognized as POTENTIAL ACTORS IN THE EUS MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM BY EU LAW. However, studies on the territorial effects of European integration and on the Europeanization of parliaments as well as parliamentarism have so far disregarded this group of parliaments. In the existing theoretical concepts of multi-level parliamentarism subnational parliaments do not have a place until now. The book addresses this theoretical and empirical gap. Referring TO STUDIES ON PARLIAMENTARISM, FEDERALISM, AND EUROPEANIZATION the contributions discuss how to include subnational parliaments in the existing research. A total of 74 subnational parliaments from eight member states is affected by the new system, which allows them to participate in the so-called Early Warning Mechanism of subsidiarity control. The situation in six EU member states is analyzed in detail. The country chapters illustrate and analyze how subnational parliaments in the federal member states (Austria, Belgium, Germany) and in the decentralized/devolved ones (Great Britain, Italy, Spain) functionally adapt to the new opportunity structure and discuss the repercussions on legislative-executive relations as well as on interparliamentary relations.

De Pedro, o Grande, a Putin: entenda a Rússia através de sua dinastia mais implacávelSimon Sebag Montefiore, autor best-seller, traz-nos a extraordinária história da dinastia mais bem-sucedida dos tempos modernos. A familia que criou o maior imperio do mundo e perdeu tudo: Os Romanov. Os Romanov governaram a Russia como czares e imperadores durante trezentos anos. Atraves da força implacavel das suas personalidades, esta familia de autocratas peculiares, mas brilhantes, transformou um reino fraco e arruinado pela guerra civil num imperio que dominou a Europa. Pedro, o Grande, tirano bebedo e assassino, e Catarina, a Grande, a apaixonada princesa alem que destronou o proprio marido para se tornar a estadista mais notavel de uma epoca de ouro, foram os dois maiores governantes da Russia. Isabel, que tinha tanto de promiscua como de glamorosa, continuou a ascenso da Russia como potencia europeia; mais tarde, Pedro III e Paulo I, impotentes e desequilibrados, foram assassinados. Nicolau I censurou Pushkin e travou a Guerra da Crimeia com a Gr-Bretanha. Finalmente, Nicolau II e Alexandra, apesar do seu casamento feliz e da tragedia do seu filho hemofilico, revelaram-se demasiado ineptos para salvar a Russia da Grande Guerra e da Revoluço.Esta e a historia de como a Russia se tornou o pais que conhecemos atualmente.Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor bestseller de Jerusalem e O Mundo, mostra que o imperio dos autocratas e os seus pequenos grupos sempre dominaram a historia da Russia, desde o primeiro czar Romanov em 1613, passando pela magnificencia de Pedro e Catarina e o declinio de Nicolau II, ate aos czares vermelhos Lenine e Estaline no seculo XX e a presidencia autoritaria de Putin no seculo XXI.
