Download or read book Cohesi n social en Europa y las Am ricas written by Harlan Koff and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recientemente, muchos observadores de políticas y prácticas de cohesión social han discutido que la globalización ha promovido la convergencia global hacia modelos neo-liberales en este campo. Similarmente, estudiosos y practicionarios de la política regional han contenido que las políticas sociales de Europa representan las "mejores prácticas" a nivel global y por ello han sido promovidas en otras regiones del mundo (por ejemplo en las recientes cumbres UE-Latinoamérica sobre cohesión social), lo que lleva también a la convergencia en la elaboración de la política. Este libro cuestiona estas afirmaciones y se pregunta si distintos enfoques regionales a la cohesión social son todavía pertinentes. El análisis trans-regional comparativo presentado en este volumen está basado en el examen de la competencia entre actores (poder), el papel de la historia y tradiciones sociales (tiempo) y la importancia de límites geográficos a la cohesión social (espacio).
Download or read book Rep blicas y ciudadanos written by Francisco Marco Simón and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2006 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entre los diversos hitos que han supuesto en la historia de la humanidad avances decisivos en muy diferentes ámbitos, económicos, sociales o culturales, resulta de extraordinaria importancia el momento en el que un grupo de individuos se entendieron a sí mismos como miembros de pleno derecho de una comunidad, y se dotaron en consecuencia de unas normas de convivencia y de unas leyes a las que se sometieron, con privilegios y obligaciones. Significó el paso trascendental de súbditos a ciudadanos, el tránsito de unas sociedades gobernadas por reyes a otras administradas por conciudadanos, que podemos denominar de manera genética como repúblicas.
Download or read book Pure Space Spanish Edition written by Elisa Silva and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may seem a simple accumulation of twenty-one public space projects in eight Latin American cities. On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work. The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. This book was awarded by a Graham Foundation Grant and CAF Development Bank of Latin America.

Download or read book Panfletos liberales III written by Carlos Rodríguez Braun and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estos últimos años han estado marcados por la corrección política antiliberal. El resultado de ello ha sido reforzar la idea de que nuestros males son culpa de la libertad y que debemos ser cada vez menos libres. Y siempre hay políticos dispuestos a que lo seamos. Carlos Rodríguez Braun refuta este pensamiento único en Panfletos liberales III: «la crisis no ha sido producida por la libertad sino por el intervencionismo. No es verdad que hayamos disfrutado de una libertad excesiva: al contrario, mientras los gobernantes se ufanan en proteger nuestros derechos, tenemos cada vez más obligaciones». En unas doscientas reflexiones breves, y con el ingenio y la ironía que caracterizan al autor, se denuncia el bulo según el cual nos arrasa una ola privatizadora neoliberal que pretende desmantelar el Estado del bienestar.El liberalismo no tiene colores partidarios y este libro molestará a los políticos de izquierdas tanto como a los de derechas. Por aludir a una de las obsesiones de Rodríguez Braun, hemos comprobado que la izquierda sube los impuestos, pero la derecha... también.

Download or read book Moving Beyond the Crisis Reclaiming and Reaffirming our Common Administrative Space written by Demetrios Argyriades and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the financial meltdown and the economic crisis in their fifth year already no one can any longer be in doubt about their exceptional gravity, their truly global impact and their profound effects hurting vulnerable groups and the very poor especially. As the world looks for an exit from this economic crisis – the worst in eight decades – the focus of attention is naturally on the causes, the factors that account for its wide reach and severity, as well as on strategies that might bring it to a closure. The quest for exit strategies is at the very centre of the issues and concerns explored in the present volume, produced by the IIAS. Like the preceding volumes, but even more emphatically, this volume, representing a collective endeavour of scholars and practitioners from many parts of the globe, finds cause to lay the blame, for our difficult predicament, on the institutional deficit, the policies, the practices and values that have followed in the trail of a highly misleading and erroneous model of governance. The «Market Model of Governance» as it is known, sought to reform, the structures and culture of administration and government in private sector ways. While instrumental values like efficiency and effectiveness were raised and praised profusely, those of democratic governance were discounted by comparison. In particular, integrity, the rule of law and due process, equity, legality and public service professionalism suffered a steep decline, in several parts of the world. Likewise, the invasion and the capture of public space, inevitably led to an unprecedented surge of greed, abuse and corruption that contributed directly to the crisis which is upon us. Looking for exit strategies, as its title aptly suggests, the present volume offers a rich menu of ideas drawn from the current experience of all the world ́s main regions. Not surprisingly, two concepts stand out throughout the book as necessary correctives, as well as pressing remedies to the world ́s ongoing malaise. They call for the recapture of our common administrative space and the reaffirmation of the values and virtues appropriate for democratic governance. To the IIAS, none perhaps are more important than public service professionalism and none other can contribute more effectively to the reform and consolidation of sound institutions for national, sub national, global and regional governance. For these reasons, at this juncture, the new volume like the others should be featured in every public library and become a vademecum of all scholars and practitioners of public administration and politics around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Côte d'Ivoire, or the Ivory Coast, is a country located in West Africa that borders the Gulf of Guinea. It is known for being the world's largest producer of cocoa beans, as well as for its vibrant cultural heritage. The country is home to over 25 million people, with the majority of the population being of African descent. The official language of Côte d'Ivoire is French, although local languages such as Baoulé, Dioula, and Anyin are also spoken. Côte d'Ivoire has a rich history that dates back to pre-colonial times. The country was first colonized by the French in the late 19th century and gained independence in 1960. Since then, it has experienced periods of political instability, including a civil war that lasted from 2002 to 2011. Despite these challenges, Côte d'Ivoire has continued to develop its economy, which is largely driven by agriculture, including the production of coffee, cocoa, and palm oil. The country has also made progress in areas such as education and healthcare, although poverty and inequality persist in many parts of the country.

The Handbook of Research on Education for Participative Citizenship and Global Prosperity is a pivotal reference source focusing on the productions and fields of study that are carried out all over the world on education for citizenship, namely the devices that provide young people with the consciousness and highlight the aspects of an active democratic life. While highlighting topics such as citizenship identity, educational policy, and social justice, this publication explores participation instruction, as well as the methods of community involvement. This book is ideally designed for educational administrators, policymakers, researchers, professionals, and educators seeking current research on instructional methods for teaching active community and political involvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro recoge algunas cuestiones con las que Violeta Núñez ha ido tramando sus recorridos docentes: teorías pedagógicas y experiencias como enseñante. El texto postula que inventar es transgredir, y recurre al bricolaje para que cada cual ensamble fragmentos y objetos culturales y a la postproducción como actividad resultante de esa apropiación de elementos de la cultura plural. Dada la movilidad de los sujetos de la era digital y su atención dispersa en diversas fuentes simultáneas, se trata de incorporar esas modalidades a los espacios de educación, posibilitando que la atención dispersa se transforme en atención flotante. Desde esta perspectiva se plantea revisitar, en clave contemporánea, viejas teorías y experiencias pedagógicas: desarchivarlas.
