Hércules de Ediciones afronta un nuevo proyecto que desmenuzará los entresijos de la emigración gallega a lo largo de los últimos siglos a través de todos los continentes. Este primer volumen, dedicado a America del Sur, desgrana el periplo de miles de familias separadas por un Oceano que les prometia una vida mejor. LA EMIGRACION GALLEGA A Sudamerica Tras analizar los siglos coloniales (XVI-XVII) como precedentes historicos de la primera emigracion de los gallegos a America del Sur (siglo XVIII), se entra ya de lleno en el siglo XX y la emigracion masiva que comienza en el litoral de Galicia y se difunde al interior. Para financiar el viaje, el campesinado gallego disponia de algun bien, como la tierra, susceptible de ser vendido o hipotecado; y, una vez iniciado un flujo emigratorio, muchos de los primeros emigrados reclamaron a familiares y vecinos, constituyendo autenticas cadenas emigratorias. Este mecanismo microsocial proporciono medios de informacion, de financiacion y de sociabilidad que facilitaron el periplo emigratorio y la insercion social y laboral de la mayoria de los nuevos emigrantes. El asociacionismo gallego (hermandades, centros gallegos, asociaciones de amigos de una localidad), la solidaridad y las relaciones entre paisanos, la importancia de la emigracion femenina, los exiliados y la integracion en los paises de acogida son aspectos fundamentales que esta obra desgrana a lo largo de sus ocho capitulos, centrados en Argentina como el primer destino, seguido de Uruguay, Brasil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile o Ecuador.

The authors relate research designs to each of the traditions of enquiry. They compare theoretical frameworks and ways to employ standards of quality, as well as strategies for writing introductions to studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing a narrative and verifying results.New in this edition:Updated materials on each traditionMore on interpretive frameworks and ethicsMore visual depictions of the five approachesTwo new topical articles in Chapter 5, reproduced in full in the appendices.

Lo primero que puede sorprender al lector de este libro, es la escasez de fuentes bibliográficas existentes en Centroamérica y en lo que concierne al ámbito de la emigración española hacia aquella zona de la America hispana. E incluso algunos trabajos que se arriman a esta cuestion y que conforman el presente texto, abordan otros fenomenos migratorios pero no el procedente de nuestro pais, lo que resulta verdaderamente sorprendente.En este volumen se han trabajado fuentes orales, habiendose realizado numerosas encuestas en profundidad y de nivel cualitativo a los agentes protagonistas de nuestra diaspora en Centroamerica. Los resultados, creemos, han sido interesantes pues ponen de manifiesto que la salida de españoles hacia este destino ha sido mas importante de lo que habitualmente se sostiene y que ha gozado de una importante posicion social en la mesocracia de los paises estudiados : Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua y Honduras, e incluso con entrada en las clases privilegiadas y los organos de gobernacion y administracion en sus respectivas naciones.

The thoughts and works of one of the leading commentators on the theory and policy of development are contained in this volume. The book looks widely over issues of Eurocentricism, critical globalism, intercultural transaction, delinking and post-development theory and presents ideas for the future of the field. Throughout, the author tries to connect issues of development with the latest thinking in sociology, critical theory and social science generally. This comprehensive book will be used as a barometer of critical thought in the field today. The writing has come out of many years of teaching and travelling in developing countries and reflects the author's unusual and detailed experience of conditions in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

'This text provides an up to date account of how things currently stand in political philosophy, and will provide an excellent introduction for students from any background. It gives a lucid and careful account of the central controversies and sites of disagreement in political theory over the last thirty years and rather than sacrifice theoretical sophistication and nuance for the sake of clarity and accessibility, it admirably achieves both' - Catriona McKinnon, University of York This comprehensive textbook provides a complete and accessible introduction to the main theorists and issues in contemporary political theory today. The text is organized into two major parts. The first, Contemporary Liberal Theory, outlines four distinct liberal theories of justice to introduce the work of Rawls, Nozick, Gauthier and Dworkin. The second, Alternative Traditions, introduces the theorists and themes associated with four key areas of contemporary debate: communitarianism, multiculturalism, deliberative democracy and feminism.By giving students questions for consideration and using applied examples throughout, the text illustrates the practical relevance of contemporary theoretical debates to everyday issues in policy and politics.The result is an essential overview of all the main traditions, issues and positions in political theory today that will serve as an invaluable resource for all students of contemporary political theory, political ideas and political philosophy. Colin Farrelly is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Introduction to Contemporary Political Theory will complement Contemporary Political Theory: A Reader edited by Colin Farrelly and also published by SAGE Publications.

In many European labour markets, temporary employment has become a sizeable phenomenon.We know that temporary contracts come with severe socio-economic disadvantages. But do they also affect political views and behaviour? Do temporary workers have distinct policy preferences? Do they lean towards specific parties? Or do they see themselves as politically excluded and respond with protest behaviour or abstention?It is these vital questions that The Political Behaviour of Temporary Workers addresses. Combining insights from psychology, political science and labour market research, it offers new theories and evidence on the political repercussions of temporary jobs, working with original and existing data to analyse social and labour market policy preferences, voting behaviour and levels of trust in politicians.

People with intellectual disability cannot assume that they can speak up for and represent themselves. A host of socially constructed factors act as barriers to their becoming self-advocates. This book analyses the nature of these factors and investigates how the label 'intellectual disability' is understood and interpreted. It also analyses the power imbalance between people with intellectual disability and non-disabled people, an imbalance which leads to the perpetuation of dependence of the former on the latter. The book proposes self-advocacy as a way of providing an environment in which this power imbalance can be redressed, negative perceptions of the label 'intellectual disability' challenged, and independence and autonomy promoted. In this way, contexts can be created in which the voices of people with intellectual disability are heard and valued. Self-advocacy thus enables people with intellectual disability to become more active agents in their own lives with the necessary support.

Command responsibility doctrine allows military commanders and civilian leaders to be held responsible for crimes committed by their subordinates. This form of responsibility has gained much attention in recent years, but it still presents several open questions and critical difficulties arise in its application. Chantal Meloni's in-depth study of the doctrine traces the roots of such criminal responsibility, from its military origins to its first appearances in the international case law after World War II. Particular attention is paid to the jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals, which extensively elaborated on the issue, and to the provision of Article 28 of the ICC Statute. The systematic analysis of command responsibility outlines its different forms and finds it a proper role within the complex net of responsibilities related to the commission of international crimes.
