Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muchas veces invocada, pero escasamente comprendida, la globalizacion es aplaudida como respuesta a todos los problemas del mundo a la vez que se la culpa de ellos, desde la contaminacion hasta la pobreza. En Globalizaciones multiples, Peter L. Berger y Samuel P. Huntington reunen a un elenco de expertos de todo el mundo que dibuja un retrato sutil y lleno de matices mostrando a un tiempo el poder y las consecuencias inesperadas de esta gran fuerza del mundo contemporaneo.En este libro los estereotipos que identifican la globalizacion con el imperialismo estadounidense, por un lado o con una especie de panacea economica por el otro acaban desmoronandose ante el examen riguroso de estos analistas. Al observar la globalizacion en paises como Chile, Japon, Sudafrica, Alemania, Turquia, Hungria, Taiwan, India y Estados Unidos los autores dan fe de la existencia de una cultura global incipiente de marcado origen y contenido estadounidense pero que no es ni una fuerza dirigida desde un centro como en el caso del imperialismo clasico, ni una mera "Disneylandia metastatica." Examinan las corrientes que transmiten esta cultura que van desde una clase mundial de jovenes profesionales hasta las organizaciones no gubernamentales y definen tanto las multiples variantes de la globalizacion -las influencias budistas, la modernidad islamica- como las subglobalizaciones que agrupan regiones enteras. Asimismo los autores llaman la atencion sobre fuerzas globalizadoras que han pasado inadvertidas al examen de los medios de comunicacion como por ejemplo el papel del protestantismo evangelico -que se adapta a los idiomas y las culturas locales e introduce valores estadounidenses caracteristicos-y el delOpus Dei el movimiento catolico conservador que tuvo su origen en Espana.Analitico, intens

This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una serie de ponencias, conferencias, entrevistas y textos inéditos de José del Val en los que aborda cuestiones como la identidad, la interculturalidad, los derechos de los pueblos indígenas, la multiculturalidad, la educación, la importancia de los idiomas originarios, la desigualdad y lo que el autor define como pobretología. Aquí se encontrarán diversas propuestas para abordar la problemática indígena actual, así como para comprender la realidad contemporánea, más allá de la situación de los pueblos originarios. La creación de una procuraduría de los derechos indígenas, la enseñanza de lenguas originarias en todas las escuelas y la construcción de una ciudadanía responsable son algunas de ellas. De manera sintética y con un profundo conocimiento de los temas tratados, el autor presenta desde una crítica al Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, hasta una reflexión sobre la importancia de la familia -del tipo que sea- en la sociedad contemporánea.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development written by Julie Cupples and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions. The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other environmental resources; indigenous and Afro-descendant rights; and the struggles for gender equality. With contributions from authors working in Latin America, the US and Canada, Europe, and New Zealand at a range of universities and other organizations, the handbook is an invaluable resource for students and teachers in development studies, Latin American studies, cultural studies, human geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics, as well as for activists and development practitioners.

Download or read book Cultural Diversity in International Law written by Lilian Richieri Hanania and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CDCE) was adopted in 2005 and designed to allow States to protect and promote cultural policies. This book examines the effectiveness of the CDCE and offers ways by which its implementation may be improved to better attain its objectives. The book provides insight in how the normative character of the CDCE may be strengthened through implementation and increasingly recurrent practice based on its provisions. Hailing from various fields of international law, political and social sciences, the book’s contributors work to promote discussions on the practical and legal influence of the CDCE, and to identify opportunities and recommendations for a more effective application. Part One of the book assesses the effectiveness of the CDCE in influencing other areas of international law and the work conducted by other intergovernmental organizations through the recognition of the double nature (cultural and economic) of cultural goods and services. Part Two focuses on the practice of the CDCE beyond the recognition of the specificity of cultural goods and services in international law by addressing the CDCE’s call for greater international cooperation and stronger integration of cultural concerns in development strategies at the national and regional levels. The book will be of great use and interest to academics and practitioners in law, social and political sciences, agents of governmental and international organizations, and cultural sector stakeholders.

Download or read book Evolution Education Around the Globe written by Hasan Deniz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book provides a global view on evolution education. It describes the state of evolution education in different countries that are representative of geographical regions around the globe such as Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North Africa, South Africa, North America, South America,Middle East, Far East, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.Studies in evolution education literature can be divided into three main categories: (a) understanding the interrelationships among cognitive, affective, epistemological, and religious factors that are related to peoples’ views about evolution, (b) designing, implementing, evaluating evolution education curriculum that reflects contemporary evolution understanding, and (c) reducing antievolutionary attitudes. This volume systematically summarizes the evolution education literature across these three categories for each country or geographical region. The individual chapters thus include common elements that facilitate a cross-cultural meta-analysis. Written for a primarily academic audience, this book provides a much-needed common background for future evolution education research across the globe.
Download or read book Intercultural Education in the European Context written by Marco Catarci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative analysis of the intercultural theories and practices developed in the European context. Bringing together work on the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands and Sweden, it examines specific approaches to intercultural education. Structured around a series of core questions concerning the main features of diverse groups of migrants present within a country and within schools, the major issues raised by scientific research on the presence of migrant students, and the adoption of relevant educational policies and practices to address these issues - together with examples of best practice in each case - Intercultural Education in the European Context explores the strengths and weaknesses of the intercultural education approach adopted in each context. Offering a broad framework for the study of intercultural education as adopted in European settings, the book highlights the contribution of education to the development of a fair, democratic and pluralistic Europe. As such, it will appeal to scholars and policy makers in the field of sociology, migration, education and intercultural relations.
Download or read book Mapping the Broad Field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education Worldwide written by Gunther Dietz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues which are discussed in the 29 chapters of this volume address core matters with respect to modern diverse societies. The most important relate to the following: the societal needs of migrant populations and the educational needs of their children; the exclusivist policies which usually impact upon migrant groups; the need to enrich school texts and curricula with new intercultural and citizenship dimensions; the importance of integrating the notion of Paideia within the school ethos and educational programmes. This volume has a dual aim. The first aim is to envisage the field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education from different disciplines at the international level, describing the new educational and social conditions that have been created by recent migration and identifying new trends in the field. The second aim is to highlight the importance of Multicultural and Intercultural Education in the development of a new citizen, who moves around the world, interacting with different people, and has a dynamic and flexible identity with polymorphic personal, social and cultural characteristics – a new intercultural persona. To sum up, this volume highlights that authors coming from different continents share some common ideas and tend to believe in the notion of Intercultural/Multicultural Education as a useful new dimension within the dynamics of many disciplines, as a new inter-disciplinary approach that is embedded within them and which characterizes modern societies.
