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.

No existe la democracia sino las democracias, cada una con su peculiar trayectoria histórica y su propia tradición cultural. Este ensayo con formato de manual académico explora los elementos que permiten comparar entre si a las principales democracias occidentales, partiendo de su oposicion a los regimenes autoritarios, de los criterios que permiten ponderar su calidad democratica y de sus diversas tipologias institucionales y burocraticas, para concluir con la diferencia especifica que distingue a cada democracia de las demas, definiendo la originalidad de su cultura publica: el genio del lugar. Para ello se recorre su trayectoria evolutiva hecha de continuidad y cambio, desde las primeras instauraciones en los albores de la era moderna hasta las sucesivas oleadas democratizadoras tras las revoluciones industrial y politica, asi como sus crisis y quiebras antidemocraticas. Despues se analizan en profundidad sus diversas instituciones estatales y politicas, asi como los repertorios culturales que permiten clasificar los sistemas democraticos. Por ultimo se aborda el estudio concreto de los modelos britanico, estadounidense, frances, aleman, italiano y español. Y la obra se cierra con una reflexion sobre la actual degradacion de las democracias.

La modernidad ha conocido dos paradigmas de transformación social: la revolución y el reformismo.

"La démocratie ne fonctionne pas bien." Ce jugement ordinaire prétend livrer la clef du malaise de l''époque. Mais quelle est la véritable nature de ces régimes qui s''intitulent "démocraties"? Pourquoi la democratie parait-elle une "valeur en baisse"? Et pourquoi reste-t-elle, cependant, l''embleme favori des politiques de tous bords? Afin de la comprendre, il faut renverser la perspective: nous n''avons pas tant affaire a un echec de la democratie qu''a une reussite de l''oligarchie. L''oligarchie, c''est le gouvernement du petit nombre dissimule sous le masque de la democratie. François de Bernard est ne en 1959. Philosophe, essayiste, romancier, il est par ailleurs conseiller financier et en strategie.

¿Puede ser reivindicada la desobediencia civil en nombre de la democracia? ¿Es posible completar la democracia representativa con la democracia directa? ¿Puede llegar la democracia directa a sustituir a la desobediencia civil como instrumento de rebelion?
