Book excerpt: Ante la buena acogida que ha tenido su obra sobre La recuperación de activos frente a la corrupción, los autores presentan esta segunda edición, actualizada y ampliada. La obra está dedicada al estudio de diversos aspectos relacionados con la corrupción, uno de los más preocupantes fenómenos criminales, que tanto daño hace al Estado democrático de Derecho, especialmente si tiene lugar en el sector público, pues en tal caso pueden llegar a producirse decisiones políticas condicionadas o motivadas por razones diferentes al interés general, único que debe guiar la actuación de los gestores públicos, afectando así al propio sistema institucional. La corrupción exige una respuesta firme y eficaz, que rechace con contundencia las prácticas corruptas y permita recuperar la confianza de todos los ciudadanos en la Administración y los servidores públicos, siendo la recuperación de activos una de las prioridades en la política criminal moderna, que permite hacer realidad el principio de que el delito nunca resulte provechoso a su autor, conjuntamente con la regulación del decomiso, que representa también un eficaz instrumento de lucha no sólo contra la corrupción, sino contra toda la delincuencia en general, especialmente la organizada, cuya motivación fundamental es la obtención de beneficios económicos. Todo ello, naturalmente, en el marco de las garantías propias del debido proceso. La transparencia, una eficaz medida anticorrupción, la implementación de las recomendaciones tanto del Grupo Anticorrupción de la OCDE como del Grupo de Estados contra la corrupción del Consejo de Europa (GRECO), que confirma el compromiso de España frente a la corrupción en el marco de la cooperación internacional, la mejora de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas, aplicable incluso a partidos políticos, el endurecimiento de las penas previstas para los delitos contra la Administración pública y del régimen de financiación de los partidos políticos, la nueva regulación del decomiso y su complemento, el proceso de decomiso autónomo y, en fin, la Oficina de Recuperación y Gestión de Activos (ORGA), permiten confirmar los avances legislativos que, contra esta práctica delictiva, se han producido en España en los últimos años. En esta nueva edición, que ve la luz transcurridos cinco años desde la aparición del libro, se han introducido algunas mejoras y añadidos, para actualizar su contenido, sin afectar a su estructura, destacando entre las modificaciones y reformas producidas a lo largo de este tiempo, la reforma del Real Decreto 948/2015, de 23 de octubre, regulador de la Oficina de Recuperación y Gestión de Activos, por el Real Decreto 93/2018, que clarifica ciertas dudas interpretativas suscitadas respecto a su ámbito de actuación, subsanando algunas lagunas, como la intervención de la Oficina a instancia del Letrado de la Administración de Justicia en fase de ejecución, añadiéndose además un nuevo capítulo dedicado a “La gestión de activos por la Oficina”, y el Reglamento (UE) 2018/1805 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 14 de noviembre de 2018, sobre el reconocimiento mutuo de las resoluciones de embargo y decomiso, novedad esta última que ha exigido una ampliación del capítulo II del libro, dedicado a “El papel del decomiso en la recuperación de activos procedentes del delito”, en el que se incluye un nuevo apartado dedicado al referido Reglamento europeo. Tanto este como el Real Decreto modificado, están incluidos, dada su importancia, en el anexo legislativo contenido en la presente obra.Manuel Jaén Vallejo es Doctor en Derecho por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (sobresaliente cum laude), Profesor Titular de Derecho Penal y Magistrado, número 1 de su promoción.

Download or read book Social Innovation and Territorial Development written by Diana MacCallum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of social innovation offers an alternative perspective on development and territorial transformation, one which foregrounds innovation in social relations. This volume presents a broad-ranging and insightful exploration of social innovation and how it can affect life, society and economy, especially within local communities. It addresses key questions about the nature of social innovation as a process and a strategy and explores what opportunities may exist, or may be generated, for social innovation to nourish human development. It puts forward alternative development options which variously highlight solidarity, co-operation, cultural-artistic endeavour and diversity. In doing so, this book offers a provocative response to the predominant neoliberal economic vision of spatial, economic and social change.

Download or read book Can Neighbourhoods Save the City written by Frank Moulaert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, neighbourhoods been pivotal sites of social, economic and political exclusion processes, and civil society initiatives, attempting bottom-up strategies of re-development and regeneration. In many cases these efforts resulted in the creation of socially innovative organizations, seeking to satisfy the basic human needs of deprived population groups, to increase their political capabilities and to improve social interaction both internally and between the local communities, the wider urban society and political world. SINGOCOM - Social INnovation GOvernance and COMmunity building – is the acronym of the EU-funded project on which this book is based. Sixteen case studies of socially-innovative initiatives at the neighbourhood level were carried out in nine European cities, of which ten are analysed in depth and presented here. The book compares these efforts and their results, and shows how grass-roots initiatives, alternative local movements and self-organizing urban collectives are reshaping the urban scene in dynamic, creative, innovative and empowering ways. It argues that such grass-roots initiatives are vital for generating a socially cohesive urban condition that exists alongside the official state-organized forms of urban governance. The book is thus a major contribution to socio-political literature, as it seeks to overcome the duality between community-development studies and strategies, and the solidarity-based making of a diverse society based upon the recognising and maintaining of citizenship rights. It will be of particular interest to both students and researchers in the fields of urban studies, social geography and political science.

Download or read book Causes of Delinquency written by Travis Hirschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here.Often listed as a Citation Classic, Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.

Download or read book People Power and Profits Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy. We all have the sense that the American economy—and its government—tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn’t done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment. Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America’s economic might and its democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us—the U.S. citizens—and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.
Download or read book The Globalization Paradox written by Dani Rodrik and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century, economists have driven forward the cause of globalization in financial institutions, labour markets, and trade. Yet there have been consistent warning signs that a global economy and free trade might not always be advantageous. Where are the pressure points? What could be done about them? Dani Rodrik examines the back-story from its seventeenth-century origins through the milestones of the gold standard, the Bretton Woods Agreement, and the Washington Consensus, to the present day. Although economic globalization has enabled unprecedented levels of prosperity in advanced countries and has been a boon to hundreds of millions of poor workers in China and elsewhere in Asia, it is a concept that rests on shaky pillars, he contends. Its long-term sustainability is not a given. The heart of Rodrik’s argument is a fundamental 'trilemma': that we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization. Give too much power to governments, and you have protectionism. Give markets too much freedom, and you have an unstable world economy with little social and political support from those it is supposed to help. Rodrik argues for smart globalization, not maximum globalization.
Download or read book Global Inequality written by Branko Milanovic and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bruno Kreisky Prize, Karl Renner Institut A Financial Times Best Economics Book of the Year An Economist Best Book of the Year A Livemint Best Book of the Year One of the world’s leading economists of inequality, Branko Milanovic presents a bold new account of the dynamics that drive inequality on a global scale. Drawing on vast data sets and cutting-edge research, he explains the benign and malign forces that make inequality rise and fall within and among nations. He also reveals who has been helped the most by globalization, who has been held back, and what policies might tilt the balance toward economic justice. “The data [Milanovic] provides offer a clearer picture of great economic puzzles, and his bold theorizing chips away at tired economic orthodoxies.” —The Economist “Milanovic has written an outstanding book...Informative, wide-ranging, scholarly, imaginative and commendably brief. As you would expect from one of the world’s leading experts on this topic, Milanovic has added significantly to important recent works by Thomas Piketty, Anthony Atkinson and François Bourguignon...Ever-rising inequality looks a highly unlikely combination with any genuine democracy. It is to the credit of Milanovic’s book that it brings out these dangers so clearly, along with the important global successes of the past few decades. —Martin Wolf, Financial Times
