El mal no se limita a la guerra ni a las circunstancias en que las personas actúan bajo una presión extrema. Cada vez con más frecuencia, el mal se revela en la cotidiana insensibilidad hacia el sufr

En algún momento a mediados de la segunda década del siglo XXI, la política mundial cambió drásticamente. Desde entonces, ha estado guiada por demandas de carácter identitario. Las ideas de nación, religion, raza, genero, etnia y clase han sustituido a una nocion mas amplia e inclusiva de quienes somos: simples ciudadanos. Hemos construido muros en lugar de puentes. Y el resultado es un creciente sentimiento antiinmigratorio, ademas de agrias discusiones sobre victimas y victimarios y el retorno de politicas abiertamente supremacistas y chovinistas. En Estados Unidos, el declive de las instituciones ha facilitado el auge de una serie de aventureros politicos cuyo nacionalismo economico y tendencias autoritarias amenazan con desestabilizar el orden internacional. Pero tambien en Europa estan surgiendo nacionalismos populistas que buscan una conexion directa y carismatica con el pueblo, que a menudo se defi ne con unos terminos identitarios restringidos que dejan fuera a gran parte de la ciudadania. Francis Fukuyama, uno de los pensadores politicos mas importantes de las ultimas decadas, hace un alegato urgente y necesario en defensa de la recuperacion de la politica en su sentido mas elevado y generoso. Un ensayo compacto y combativo sobre la importancia de conformar una idea de identidad que profundice en la democracia en lugar de destruirla.

Tras su nombramiento como Fiscal General en 2019, Alejandro Gertz Manero reactivó un caso desechado dos veces por la ley por carecer de valor legal. Así, a finales de 2020 logró que se arrestara y encarcelara a su sobrina politica, Alejandra Cuevas, inculpandola sin pruebas de haber matado a su hermano, Federico Gertz.La carcel fue un infierno para Alejandra: padecio condiciones infrahumanas que se exacerbaron en la pandemia y sufrio en carne propia la venganza del Fiscal. Mientras tanto, sus hijos enfrentaron por todos los medios al sistema corrupto, incluso se hincaron ante el presidente de la Suprema Corte, Arturo Zaldivar: en Mexico la justicia se pide de rodillas. Las mentiras fueron expuestas y, luego de 17 meses, Alejandra salio de prision directo al autoexilio.Este es un testimonio que demuestra una vez mas como en este pais la justicia es un instrumento del poder y no un servicio a la comunidad, una herramienta para que los poderosos encarcelen segun sus propios intereses.

There has been a recent increase in the level of drug trafficking-related violence within and between the drug trafficking organisations in Mexico. This violence has generated concern among U.S. policy makers that the violence in Mexico might spill over into the United States. The most recent threat assessment indicates that the Mexican drug trafficking organisations pose the greatest drug trafficking threat to the United States, and this threat is driven partly by U.S. demand for drugs. This book is an overview of the potential spill-over violence and related issues between the U.S. and Mexico in the ongoing drug-trafficking operations on the Southwest borders.

This book explores the interdependences of economic globalisation, political tensions, and national policymaking whilst analysing opportunities for governance reform at both national and international levels. It considers how governance mechanisms can be fashioned in order to both exploit the opportunities of globalization and cope with the numerous potential conflicts and risks. The authors adopt a multidisciplinary approach based on various theories from economics, political science, sociology and law to provide new insights into globalisation processes, their causes and effects and to further develop the understanding of, and interaction between globalisation and governance. They underline the need to design innovative governance structures at national, regional, and global levels - an unalterable precondition to overcome political, cultural, and distributional conflicts in a globalising world. In conclusion, the book prescribes development strategies to successfully manage and overcome the political, cultural and distributional conflicts arising in a globalizing world. Highlighting the successes and failures of globalization, this challenging book will be warmly welcomed by scholars and researchers in various fields of economics including development economics, institutional economics, political economy, and the economics of transition. Those with an interest in regulation and governance, including policy-makers and professionals in non-governmental organizations and development agencies will also find the book to be an invaluable tool

This volume explores the repercussions of a changing world order on regional security in Latin America. It examines how global and regional power shifts impact on the evolution of regional institutions as well as on state policies adopted in response to regional security challenges such as border conflicts, political instability, migration, drug-trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism. Contributions to this volume analyze the topic from three angles: power dynamics and its effects on regional security governance; the contribution of regional institutions to the management of security challenges; and the impact of power dynamics on states' shifting security priorities. Written by specialists from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, the United States and Europe, the chapters weave theory and case studies to provide a rich description of the impact of power and politics on regional security in Latin America. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars and practitioners interested in Latin American politics, regional cooperation, and war and conflict studies, as well as international security and international relations in general.

En el mejor de los casos, el nacionalismo no es más que un sueño narcisista, soportable con humor y paciencia. Pero el separatismo suma al nacionalismo la subversión que destruye la democracia vigente. Se puede convivir con el nacionalismo, pero no hay mas remedio que defenderse del separatismo y plantarle cara. Lo hemos visto en Euskadi, ahora en Cataluña: unos cuantos quieren robar a la mayoria parte de la soberania nacional, que no pertenece a ningun territorio sino a todos los ciudadanos libres e iguales. Este panfleto sin complejos ni miramientos defiende la sede historica de nuestros derechos: lo que aun se llama España.

The State as Cultural Practice offers a fully worked out account of the authors' distinctive interpretive approach to political science. It challenges the new institutionalism, probably the most significant present-day strand in both American and British political science. It moves away from such notions as 'bringing the state back in', 'path dependency' and modernist empiricism. Instead, Bevir and Rhodes argue for an anti-foundational analysis, ethnographic and historical methods, and a decentred approach that rejects any essentialist definition of the state and espouses the idea of politics as cultural practice. The book has three aims: to develop an anti-foundational theory of the state; to develop a new research agenda around the topics of rule, rationalities, and resistance; and by exploring empirical shifts and debates about the changing nature of the state to show how anti-foundational theory leads us to see them differently. Bevir and Rhodes argue for the idea of 'the stateless state' or the state as meaning-in-action. So, the state is neither monolithic nor a causal agent. It consists solely of the contingent actions of specific individuals; of diverse beliefs about the public sphere, about authority and power, which are constructed differently in contending traditions. Continuity and change are products of people inheriting traditions and modifying them in response to dilemmas. A decentred approach explores the limits to the state and seeks to develop a more diverse view of state authority and its exercise. In short, political scientists need to bring people back in to the study of the state.

This book examines the challenges that ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) members need to overcome in order to sustain and intensify economic growth. The ASEAN market is widely regarded as a new hub of growth, not least in light of increasing protectionism and declining economic growth of the three largest countries in Northeast Asia (China, Japan, and South Korea). Contributors address a range of issues with a concentrated focus on evidence from Indonesia, including globalisation, increasing populism, trade, FDI, the benets of the production network, and related issues such as spill-over, crises, innovation and technology, and selected sectoral commodity and policy analysis of Indonesia. This book analyses and explains the relationship between trade and foreign direct investment, and technical changes, with regard to improving productivity in the supply-side economic growth model using, in particular, Indonesia as the de facto leader of ASEAN. This book will be of interest to academics and students specialising in international economics and international development.
