Download or read book El Mercosur y las complejidades de la integraci n regional written by José Briceño Ruíz and published by Teseo. This book was released on 2011 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creado en 1991 en un contexto favorable a las ideas de regionalismo abierto, el Mercosur fue un bloque comercial que en sus primero años alcanzó logros que llevaron a describirlo como uno de los procesos más exitosos en la historia latinoamericana. Esta imagen positiva comenzó a desvanecerse a fines de la década del noventa, cuando la crisis producida por la devaluación del Real en Brasil generó conflictos comerciales y una reducción de la interdependencia regional, proceso que se profundizó con el default argentino de 2001. El ascenso al poder de gobiernos de centro-izquierda desde el año 2003 ha estado acompañado por el impulso de una serie de iniciativas para relanzar el proceso de integración del Mercosur y dotarlo de una sólida dimensión social y productiva. El presente libro analiza este complejo proceso de integración regional, concentrándose no sólo en su dimensión comercial, sino también en sus aspectos políticos, culturales, sociales y productivos. En este sentido, el libro incluye trabajos de destacados especialistas de Argentina, Brasil, Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Paraguay, Uruguay y Venezuela. Entendiendo la complejidad del proceso mercosuriano, el libro adopta un enfoque multidisciplinario para explicar sus logros y retrocesos y para presentar escenarios sobre su desarrollo futuro.
Download or read book El Proceso de Integraci n Regional Del Mercosur written by Sergio Caballero Santos and published by Ewe Editorial Acad MIA Espa Ola. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta tesis doctoral aborda los aspectos teoricos y conceptuales referidos a la integracion regional mercosurena. El "lugar desde el que hablamos" sera el de las Relaciones Internacionales, abordando tangencialmente sus debates internos y sus distintos posicionamientos ontologicos y epistemologicos, haciendoles dialogar entre si y tendiendo puentes entre diferentes enfoques. Dicho bagaje teorico pretende ser aplicado sobre una realidad concreta de la politica sudamericana. Asi, el objeto sustantivo de estudio sera la determinacion de los tomadores de decisiones de los paises de Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil y Argentina de crear un mecanismo de integracion -el Mercosur- a traves del cual desarrollen politicas regionales (o coordinen politicas nacionales con efecto regional) que tengan un impacto sobre sus sociedades. Dado que esta ha sido una aspiracion reiterada en el tiempo, se hara un recorrido historico para enmarcarlo y contextualizarlo, aunque el foco temporal se concentrara en el periodo inmediatamente posterior a las ultimas recuperaciones democraticas -esto es, desde los anos ochenta dependiendo de cada uno de los paises- y hasta fechas recientes -esto es, finales de 2011-."
Download or read book Regionalism in Latin America written by JOSÉ BRICEÑO-RUIZ and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the political economy of regionalism in Latin America. It identifies convergent forces which have existed in the region since its very conception and analyses these dynamics in their different historical, geographic and structural contexts. Particular attention is paid to key countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, as well as subregions like the Southern Cone and Central America. To understand the resilience of regionalism in Latin America, this book proposes to highlight four main issues. Firstly, that resilience is linked to mechanisms of self-enforcement that are part of the accumulation of experiences, institution building and common cultural features described in this book as regionalist acquis. Secondly, the elements and driving forces behind the promotion and expression of the regionalist acquis are influenced and shaped by nested systems in which social processes are inserted. Thirdly, when looking at systems, there is a particular influence by national and global ones, which condition the form and endurance of regional projects. Finally, beyond systems, the book highlights the relevance of agents as crucial players in the shaping of the resilience of regionalism in Latin America. This insightful collection will appeal to advanced students and researchers in international economics, international relations, international political economy, economic history and Latin American studies.
Download or read book Contestations of the Liberal International Order written by Fredrik Söderbaum and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seemingly never-ending stream of observers claims that the populist emphasis on nationalism, identity, and popular sovereignty undermines international collaboration and contributes to the crisis of the Liberal International Order (LIO). Why, then, do populist governments continue to engage in regional and international institutions? This Element unpacks the counter-intuitive inclination towards institutional cooperation in populist foreign policy and discusses its implications for the LIO. Straddling Western and non-Western contexts, it compares the regional cooperation strategies of populist leaders from three continents: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The study identifies an emerging populist 'script' of regional cooperation based on notions of popular sovereignty. By embedding regional cooperation in their political strategies, populist leaders are able to contest the LIO and established international organisations without having to revert to unilateral nationalism.
Download or read book Achtung Panzer written by Heinz Guderian and published by Arms & Armour. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the most significant military books of the twentieth century. By an outstanding soldier of independent mind, it pushed forward the evolution of land warfare and was directly responsible for German armoured supremacy in the early years of the Second World War. Published in 1937, the result of 15 years of careful study since his days on the German General Staff in the First World War, Guderian's book argued, quite clearly, how vital the proper use of tanks and supporting armoured vehicles would be in the conduct of a future war. When that war came, just two years later, he proved it, leading his Panzers with distinction in the Polish, French and Russian campaigns. Panzer warfare had come of age, exactly as he had forecast. This first English translation of Heinz Guderian's classic book - used as a textbook by Panzer officers in the war - has an introduction and extensive background notes by the modern English historian Paul Harris.

The book also includes a comparative analysis of the reforms in China and Russia in the last decades.

Download or read book The Circular Economy and the Global South written by Patrick Schröder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.
Download or read book Russian Trade Policy written by Sergei Sutyrin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the key trends in the modern Russian trade policy to provide a deeper understanding of the main challenges and barriers, possible paths and opportunities in its development. An international team of authors investigates specific factors influencing the Russian trade policy evolution; recent trends in Russia’s international trade development; and the impact of Russia’s participation in the World Trade Organization on the domestic economy. Particular attention is paid to regional integration processes that involve Russia and their outcomes; as well as challenges in the remaining and building commercial relations with Russia’s traditional and ‘new’ trade partners, taking into consideration those alienating the West and economic sanctions regimes. The analysis of key trends is combined with a special focus on selected industries and economic partners of Russia. The book contains a variety of case studies investigating the ways in which political and business actors adapt to the transformation of Russian trade policy, how Russia participates in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, and what the driving forces and outputs are for the national economic agents. Finally, the authors consider what the reasonable expectations might be regarding the future prospects of Russian trade policy. The book presents a unique, comprehensive and multidimensional analysis of modern Russian trade policy. Filling an important gap in the existing literature, this book will be of value to all those interested in Russia’s economic development path.

Download or read book Rise Trading State written by Richard Rosecrance and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1987-05-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will power look like in the century to come? Imperial Great Britain may have been the model for the nineteenth century, Richard Rosecrance writes, but Hong Kong will be the model for the twenty-first. We are entering the Age of the Virtual State -- when land and its products are no longer the primary source of power, when managing flows is more important than maintaining stockpiles, when service industries are the greatest source of wealth and expertise and creativity are the greatest natural resources.Rosecrance's brilliant new book combines international relations theory with economics and the business model of the virtual corporation to describe how virtual states arise and operate, and how traditional powers will relate to them. In specific detail, he shows why Japan's kereitsu system, which brought it industrial dominance, is doomed; why Hong Kong and Taiwan will influence China more than vice-versa; and why the European Union will command the most international prestige even though the U.S. may produce more wealth.

Book excerpt: The processes of democratization and regionalization in South America ran parallel to one another between 1985 and 1991. However, the nature of this relationship is by no means clear. This book explores the diplomatic history of the formation of Mercosur and analyzes the precise place of democracy in the process. At the methodological level, a combination of hitherto unexamined documents and extensive interview material makes for a novel oral history approach to diplomatic studies. At the theoretical level, a melding of cognitive approaches to foreign policy making and realist theory of international relations provides a nuanced but systematic explanation of events.
