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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivimos un cambio de época, no una época de cambios. La crisis actual impone retos, pero también se presenta como una oportunidad para Europa y América Latina. Lo que sí parece claro es que la salida a la crisis y las respuestas a los viejos desafíos y los nuevos riesgos sociales sólo pueden venir de la política. Por ello, resulta fundamental reforzar el diálogo político entre la UE y América Latina. Esto no significa sólo aumentar los foros de diálogos políticos sino más bien afrontar el diálogo de forma más simétrica, a través de un enfoque bi-direccional que se centre tanto en los problemas de América Latina como en los de la UE. Antonio Fernández Poyato Director de la FIIAPP

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Después de tres décadas de relaciones, América Latina y la Unión Europea han decidido fraguar una “asociación estratégica” para promover la democracia, la cohesión social y el desarrollo económico. Sin embargo, las relaciones se han estancado debido a que ambas regiones se ven afectadas por los cambios que ha inducido el 11-S en la agenda internacional, y están inmersas en procesos de revisión de sus modelos de integración. América Latina parece perder peso como socio de una UE que afronta las exigencias de la ampliación y la política de vecindad, la crisis constitucional y las dificultades para mantener el “modelo” económico y social europeo. Latinoamérica atraviesa un período de cambios políticos y económicos, de crisis de sus organizaciones de integración, aparecen nuevos liderazgos, y se debate entre la vinculación más estrecha con Estados Unidos, o el nuevo proyecto de la Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones (CSN). En este escenario, ¿qué papel puede cumplir la relación birregional entre la Unión Europea y Latinoamérica? ¿Son válidas las estrategias trazadas hace años? Este libro trata de responder a estas preguntas a partir de reflexiones y propuestas de más de veinte analistas de ambas regiones, que examinan el estado de esas relaciones considerando las percepciones y expectativas de los actores involucrados, tanto oficiales como de la sociedad civil. A partir de ello, este libro identifica las limitaciones y obstáculos de la relación euro-latinoamericana, pero también propone una estrategia ambiciosa y al mismo tiempo pragmática, para que la “asociación estratégica” reciba un nuevo impulso y haga una contribución relevante a las metas comunes de democracia, vigencia de los derechos humanos, lucha contra la pobreza, y paz y seguridad internacional que comparten ambas regiones.

Download or read book The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America written by Lorena Ruano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.

Download or read book Comparative Perspectives on Leadership written by Carmen Maganda and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expertos en Liderazgo han reconocido una paradoja que caracteriza este concepto: buscamos un liderazgo efectivo justo cuando los líderes son incapaces de manejar apropiadamente los acontecimientos que afectan nuestras vidas. Confrontar este círculo vicioso implica analizar la noción de liderazgo en función de la relación entre líderes y seguidores. Este tema fue discutido abiertamente durante el 2008, año caracterizado por varias crisis en los niveles global (e.g. la crisis financiera), regional (la crisis andina) y nacional (la crisis electoral en Zimbabwe). Estudios recientes se enfocan en las cualidades de los «buenos» líderes. En contraste, los ensayos de este volumen, resultado de los paneles centrales de la conferencia RISC 2008, traen a los seguidores de vuelta a la escena del análisis social. Cada autor discute la necesidad de crear nuevas formas de gobierno «seguidor-centrista», a través de estudios relacionados con diferentes eventos del 2008: la política electoral y la calidad de la democracia, el impacto de la crisis financiera global en Bélgica, la guerra civil en Colombia, la crisis andina, la «guerra» de México contra la violencia y la política exterior de Sudáfrica. Scholars of leadership have appropriately recognized a paradox which characterizes this concept: we seek effective leadership in moments when leaders are incapable of properly managing events which affect our lives. Confronting this vicious circle implies analyzing leadership as the function of the relationship between leaders and followers. This theme was openly discussed in 2008, a year characterized by various crises at the global (e.g. the financial crisis), regional (e.g. the Andean Crisis), and national (e.g. the electoral crisis in Zimbabwe) levels. Recent studies on leadership have focused on the so-called qualities of «good» leaders. In contrast, the essays in this edited volume, which derive from the keynote panels of the RISC Consortium's 2008 conference, «bring followers back in». All the chapters discuss the need to create new forms of follower-based governance through studies of phenomena related to 2008, including electoral politics and the quality of democracy, the impact of the global financial crisis in Belgium, civil war in Colombia, the 2008 Andean Crisis, Mexico's «War on Violence» and South Africa's foreign policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new framework for comparing experiences of integration: regionalization must be reinterpreted as an aspect of modernization, modernization unfolding also at the local, national and global levels. The contributors discuss how and why the different visions of modernity that inform modernization projects encouraged the construction (or rejection) of regional integration, at different times and in different places. It starts with an analysis of plans for the economic integration of Europe in the aftermath of World War I. It shows how integration was identified as the means to modernize the region with a view to helping it overcome political fragmentation and adapt to new conditions of global capitalism. It then turns to the debate on modernization unfolding in the era that constituted the formative period of integration for both Europe and Latin America. It analyses examples of the complex interaction between these two different experiences, as it extends into the present. Finally, it looks at the social and political actors that promoted integration in the two regions and at the discourse they formulated to do so.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas written by Olaf Kaltmeier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. This handbook examines the direct and indirect political interventions, geopolitical imaginaries, inequalities, interlinked economic developments and the forms of appropriation of the vast natural resources in the Americas. Expert contributors give a comprehensive overview of the theories, practices and geographies that have shaped the economic dynamics of the region and their impact on both the political and natural landscape. This multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of academic scholars and students in history, sociology, geography, economics and political science, as well as cultural, postcolonial, environmental and globalization studies.

This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean experienced the brunt of the global financial crisis on their levels of activity. However, since the second half of the that year, most countries in the region just begun a vigorous recovery that should strengthen with a regional GDP expansion of approximately 5.2 per cent. The factors behind a more positive performance are both external and internal in nature. Amongst the former can be included the continued dynamism of some key Asian economies, whose sustained demand for products from this region has created important conditions for a recovery in exports, especially in the case of South America.
