Download or read book Why Do Some Civil Wars Not Happen written by Witold Mucha and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its early beginnings peace and conflict research has focused on causes of phenomena such as civil war, terrorism, and state failure. The author merges this approach with a peace causes perspective and asks why civil war happened in Peru (1980-1995) though not in Bolivia, which is striking given the structural similarities with Peru as well as a number of escalation episodes leading the country to the brink of civil war (2000-2008). He explores the political measures such as reforms and political dialogue, which prevented the country from rather hazardous consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL BIEN COMÚN EN LA POLICÍA, LA JUSTICIA Y LA GOBERNABILIDAD: UNA APROXIMACIÓN DESDE EL PENSAMIENTO DE SANTO TOMAS DE AQUINO. El bien común en las policías, la acción de la justicia y la gobernabilidad, es una constante que se debe tener magnificada siempre, pues el bien común, es una forma de hacerle justicia a la propia humanidad. Dignificar su vida, su persona y la interacción con el mundo socio-cultural de cada uno de los seres humanos que hacemos posible la humanidad, es la columna central de la aplicación del bien común. En este libro, abordo el bien común desde una perspectiva del Santo Padre Tomás de Aquino. Rescato algunas premisas importantes del bien común tomista, y las trato de aplicar a la realidad jurídico-política de México. Sin embargo, dichas premisas, son pragmáticas, en su generalidad, a toda la humanidad. Con la lectura de este libro, estoy seguro que estaremos de acuerdo que la aplicación del bien común en la función pública, nos permitirá entendernos mejor como seres humanos que sienten, piensan y buscan su felicidad.

Download or read book Research Handbook on Innovation Governance for Emerging Economies written by Stefan Kuhlmann and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although in recent years some emerging economies have improved their performance in terms of R&D investment, outputs and innovative capacity, these countries are still blighted by extreme poverty, inequality and social exclusion. Hence, emerging countries are exposed to conditions which differ quite substantially from the dominant OECD model of innovation policy for development and welfare. This Research Handbook contributes to the debate by looking at how innovation theory, policy and practice interact, and explains different types of configurations in countries that are characterized by two contrasting but mutually reinforcing features: systemic failure and resourcefulness. Focusing on innovation governance and public policies, it aims to understand related governance failures and to explore options for alternative, more efficient approaches.

Download or read book Un mundo contaminado written by José Benegas and published by Deusto. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hasta la proliferación de los populismos de derechas, los regímenes que corrompían las reglas democráticas para anular a la oposición y perpetuarse en el poder tenían fundamentalmente signo marxista. Pero el nuevo antiliberalismo nacionalista y ultraconservador, bajo la bandera de la «batalla cultural», le ha arrebatado al chavismo y al socialismo el monopolio del despotismo. El conocido ensayista José Benegas, curtido en la lucha contra los populismos latinoamericanos, desarrolla en este libro la tesis de que el tradicional eje izquierda/derecha ya no permite comprender el actual momento político. Ambos bandos comparten el gusto por los caudillos que destruyen las instituciones, y que tras haber ganado el favor popular en las urnas acaban con los métodos de control a su corrupción, convierten a los poderes legislativos en amanuenses, colocan adeptos en la justicia para blindarse ante cualquier investigación y amordazan a la prensa. Benegas desmonta las trampas retóricas con las que los regímenes populistas, auténticas dictaduras del siglo xxi, instalan el reino de su propia arbitrariedad en nombre de la democracia. Y, al refutar sus presupuestos doctrinales, echa por tierra la legitimidad de los gobiernos que plantean la concentración del poder para mostrarse como salvadores del pueblo. Pero no basta simplemente con exponer estas trampas. Si las prácticas del despotismo populista están triunfando es porque las sociedades están afectadas por una anemia respecto de las ideas de la libertad, la propiedad y el gobierno limitado. Por eso, Un mundo contaminado se propone demostrar que la idea del gobierno como gran benefactor es un mantra a izquierda y derecha que contradice el principio democrático del verdadero autogobierno. Este libro es una contribución inestimable a la causa de la recuperación de la democracia liberal y la institucionalidad perdidas, y del restablecimiento de las bases jurídicas, políticas y éticas de una sociedad libre.

Download or read book Political Corruption and Organizational Crime written by Elizangela Valarini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Level of compliance - one of the most important prerequisites of good governance - varies widely across countries of the Global North and the less developed, Global South. Acts of non-compliance, such as electoral irregularities, dubious deals between private and public sectors, questionable role of the justice systems and financial scandals, though they vary greatly across countries, are an omnipresent reality of contemporary life. This volume has brought together a number of case studies of such deviant behavior in political, juridical and corporate fields, from several countries of Asia, Europe and South America, within a common framework. Instead of a moral approach based exclusively on the legality and illegality of the act, the authors of these essays dissect non-compliance analytically, taking culture and context into account. They argue that, while criminal and corrupt dealings deserve to be exposed by all means from an ethical point of view, seen from an interdisciplinary angle, one needs to probe deeper into the dynamic that leads to such non-compliance with the law in the first place.

Download or read book Presidents and Democracy in Latin America written by Manuel Alcántara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new textbook provides students with a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the presidents and presidential leadership in Latin America. Unlike other texts, Presidents and Democracy in Latin America integrates both political analysis and major theoretical perspectives with extensive country-specific material. Part One examines the developments in recent years in Latin American presidentialism and identifies different characteristics of society and politics which have influenced Latin American governments. The personalization of political life and of presidential government help to illustrate the character of Latin American politics, specifically on the type of political career of those who occupied the presidential office, the leadership style of these presidents and the type of government which they led. Part Two studies two presidents in each of six countries in the region which reflect the broad trends in the political and electoral life: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Each case study first provides the biographical background of the president; it outlines the political career of the president both inside and outside of a party, including at the local level; the popularity of the president at the time of the presidential election is given, as well as the mode of selection of the candidates (selection by party leaders only, by party members or by a primary). The relation of the president with the government or ministers, especially if there is a coalition government, is detailed. This textbook will be essential reading for all students of Latin American Politics and is highly recommended for those studying executive politics, political leadership, and the state of democratic governance in Latin America.

Questions addressed include: - What are the 'essential' characteristics of populism? - Is it important to distinguish between left- and right-wing populism? - How can the transformation of populist movements be explained? This is the most thorough and up to date comparative historical study of populism available. As such it will be of great value to anyone researching or studying the topic.
