A través de un minucioso análisis de los textos políticos fundamentales del siglo XIX, en un arco de autores que va de Fernández de Lizardi a Justo Sierra, Elías José Palti nos descubre cómo, más alla de la continuidad de ideas, se fue recomponiendo sucesivamente a lo largo del periodo el suelo de las problematicas subyacentes, las cuales serian indicativas, a su vez, de transformaciones ocurridas en el nivel de las practicas politicas. Y ello mudaria las condiciones de enunciacion de los discursos. Si las "ideas" no cambiaron, las preguntas ya eran otras. Por detras de la aparente continuidad de valores e imaginarios tradicionales, comenzara asi a revelarsenos un complejo, abigarrado y cambiante entramado conceptual. Y tambien a descubrirse la naturaleza profunda de los dilemas que la nueva elite gobernante enfrento en su intento de articular un orden estable sobre una nueva base de legitimidad, una vez que la tradicional habia sido indefectiblemente desbaratada por su propio accionar.

La presente obra aboga por una versión del multiculturalismo inspirada en un liberalismo del miedo parecido al formulado por Judith Shklar e inspirado a su vez en las ideas de Montesquieu. El liberalismo no deberia interesarse en la preservacion ni en la trascendencia de las practicas e identidades de las comunidades culturales. Seria mas acertado que se centrase en mitigar males, como son las guerras civiles entre etnias, las practicas crueles en el seno de las comunidades culturales y la violencia por parte del Estado hacia las minorias etnicas. El "multiculturalismo del miedo" deberia basarse en la realidad de la politica y de los conflictos etnicos considerando la importancia que las personas otorgan a su identidad etnica y a sus practicas culturales, sin caer por ello en solemnizar los origenes de su cultura.La presente obra aboga por una versión del multiculturalismo inspirada en un liberalismo del miedo parecido al formulado por Judith Shklar e inspirado a su vez en las ideas de Montesquieu.

On the eve of a landmark general election Ruchir Sharma offers an unrivalled portrait of how India and its democracy work drawn from his two decades on the road chasing election campaigns across every major state travelling the equivalent of a lap around the earth Democracy on the Road takes readers on a rollicking ride with Ruchir and his merry band of fellow writers as they talk to farmers shopkeepers and CEOs from Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu and interview leaders from Narendra Modi to Rahul Gandhi No book has traced the arc of modern India by taking readers so close to the action Offering an intimate view inside the lives and minds of India s political giants and its people Sharma explains how the complex forces of family caste and community economics and development money and corruption Bollywood and Godmen have conspired to elect and topple Indian leaders since Indira Gandhi The ultimately encouraging message of Ruchir s travels is that while democracy is retreating in many parts of the world it is thriving in India

Energy drives the economy economics informs policy and policy affects social outcomes Since the oil crises of the 1970s pundits have debated the validity of this sequence but most economists and politicians still ignore it Thus they delude the public about the underlying influence of energy costs and constraints on economic policies that address such pressing contemporary issues as income inequality growth debt and climate change To understand why Carey King explores the scientific and rhetorical basis of the competing narratives both within and between energy technology and economics Energy and economic discourse seems to mirror Newton s 3rd Law of Motion For every narrative there is an equal and opposite counter narrative The competing energy narratives pit drill baby drill against renewable technologies such as wind and solar Both claim to provide secure reliable clean and affordable energy to support economic growth with the most benefit to society but how To answer this question we need to understand the competing economic narratives techno optimism and techno realism Techno optimism claims that innovation overcomes any physical resource constraints and enables the social outcomes and economic growth we desire Techno realism in cont

Spanning millennia and continents here is a stunningly revealing history of how the distribution of water has shaped human civilization Boccaletti of The Nature Conservancy tackles the most important story of our time our relationship with water in a world of looming scarcity Kelly McEvers NPR Host Writing with authority and brio Giulio Boccaletti honorary research associate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment University of Oxford shrewdly combines environmental and social history beginning with the earliest civilizations of sedentary farmers on the banks of the Nile the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers Even as he describes how these societies were made possible by sea level changes from the last glacial melt he incisively examines how this type of farming led to irrigation and multiple cropping which in turn led to a population explosion and labor specialization We see with clarity how irrigation s structure informed social structure inventions such as the calendar sprung from agricultural necessity how in ancient Greece the communal ownership of wells laid the groundwork for democracy how the Greek and Roman experiences with water security resulted in systems of taxation and how the modern world as we know it began with a

Armed conflict poses a huge threat to public health but perhaps not in the way you would think. It's time to reconsider our entire approach to human security.Thanks to our increasingly connected world, we can now witness the worst manifestations of war in ways we never could before. This makes it easier than ever to recognize dangerous conflicts as a threat to health and well-beingat least for those populations living in war zones. In How War Kills, Yara M. Asi exposes the devastating repercussions of war that extend far beyond the battlefield.By tracing the trajectory of violence throughout history, with a focus on contemporary conflicts, Asi argues that war has been overlooked from a public health perspective. From the breakdown of sanitation and other vital infrastructure to the scarcity of essential resources, war creates a perilous environment ripe for disease outbreaks and widespread suffering far beyond the reach of bullets and bombs. She also challenges the reactive nature of current humanitarian responses and calls for more proactive measures to prevent the catastrophic consequences of war and militarism.
