Book excerpt: La vida es lo que usted hace de ella. Nadie puede nunca decir cómo en el mundo un joven chico de clase media e inocente se convirtió en uno de los criminales más buscados y de mala fama en el mundo. A veces, las circunstancias pueden cambiar a un ángel en un demonio y vice versa. Una persona es la única que puede decidir por su propia vida y del futuro que a él le encantaría tener pronto. El dinero es una de las cosas que puede hacer que una persona cambie en alguien que es muy distinto de él. Pablo Escobar es una de esas inocentes personas que se volvió la más destructiva del pasado debido a algunos cambios en su vida que tuvieron una gran influencia en él. ¿Quién dice que solo aquellas celebridades son las personas más influyentes y famosas en la tierra? Pablo Escobar es famoso no porque es una celebridad, sino porque fue uno de los narcotraficantes colombianos más infames y ricos que ha suministrado más del 80% de la cocaína que fue contrabandeada en los Estados Unidos. Pablo Escobar fue ampliamente conocido en el mundo como el "Rey de la Cocaína" y se convirtió en un gran nombre en la industria del mercado negro cuando él se volvió el criminal más rico que ha vivido alguna vez en la historia; con un patrimonio neto estimado de, alrededor de, 30 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses muy atrás, a comienzos de los 90. Aparte de eso, él tenía unos, aproximadamente, 50 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses cuando su dinero, que fue enterrado en varias partes de Colombia está incluido. Este libro dice los comienzos y el ascenso brutal, así como la caída del criminal y Rey de la Cocaína Colombiano más peligroso del mundo, Pablo Escobar, cuyo imperio criminal y dominio de la injusticia retuvo una nación entera de más de 30 millones de rehenes. Su imperio criminal ha traído un reino de completo caos y terror que sólo terminaría con la muerte de Pablo Escobar y esto había pasado después de una persecución de 16 meses por Escobar. En su altura y cima del éxito en los 80, Pablo Escobar era dueño de aviones y flotas de barcos de lujo, y 19 residencias y mansiones diferentes en Medellín, cada una con su propio helipuerto. Hay muchos intentos de capturarlo, pero él simplemente sobornaba a la policía, los jueces y políticos a través de todo el país, y mató a los otros que no cooperaron con él. El gobierno colombiano intentó muchas veces de capturarlo, pero él siempre los evadió. Pero en 1988, alrededor de mil policías nacionales buscaron e hicieron una redada en una de sus lujosas mansiones y, con pura suerte, él fue pillado con sus pantalones abajo, literalmente.
Download or read book Understanding Individual Commitment to Collective Action written by Carlos Ramírez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When speaking colloquially of political participation or civic action, one thinks, in the first instance, of groups and organizations such as political parties, social movements or various types of voluntary associations. The perspective of individuals is not the first thing that comes to mind when seeking to understand their functioning. In contrast to this vision, understanding the dynamics of participation requires taking a closer look at the individual, that is, at his or her moral dispositions and projects, his or her multiple and simultaneous identities, the breaking points in his or her biographical trajectory, the roles he or she adopts in an organization or the styles of communication which he or she uses. The book comprises a variety of case studies and theoretical and methodological contributions that, independent of rational choice theories, seek to understand collective action at the level of the individual and, in doing so, to articulate the various fields of study in this regard with the singularity of biographies and the reflective personal identities that characterize contemporary individualism.

Download or read book Socio political Histories of Latin American Statistics written by Cecilia T. Lanata-Briones and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together recent research on the sociopolitical history of Latin American statistics from the nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth century. Reflecting the influence of social constructivism in the social sciences, it sheds new light on the historical emergence and development of both statistical reasoning and practices within a region traditionally seen as a passive consumer of foreign-produced theories and methods. By analysing the processes of institutionalisation of statistics in different national spaces, from Mexico to the Southern Cone, these studies show the unique ways in which Latin America adapted and used this modern tool of government and social classification to build political regimes and scientific arenas. The early enthusiasm for enumerating reality, the regular production of statistics and censuses, and the role of the region in the global transformation of this knowledge are some of the aspects reviewed to grasp the contingent dynamic of these dialogues and appropriations. Thus, Socio-political Histories of Latin American Statistics seeks to offer new insights into the divergent regional trajectories of this discipline, advancing towards an understanding of statistics and its past from a truly global perspective.

Download or read book Fighting for Political Freedom written by Terence C. Halliday and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-12-20 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world political liberalism is being fought for, consolidated and defended. That is the case for nations that have never enjoyed a liberal political society, for nations that have advanced towards and then retreated from political liberalism, for nations that have recently shifted from authoritarian to liberal political systems, and for mature democracies facing terrorism and domestic conflict. This book tests for the contemporary world the proposition that lawyers are active agents in the construction of liberal political regimes. It examines the efficacy of a framework that postulates that legal professions not only orient themselves to a market for their services but can frequently be seen in the forefront of actors seeking to institutionalise political liberalism. On the basis of some 16 case studies from across the world, the authors present a theoretical link between lawyers and political liberalism having wide-ranging application over radically diverse situations in Asia and the Middle East, North and South America, and Europe. They argue that it is not the politics of lawyers alone but the politics of a 'legal complex' of legally trained occupations, centred on lawyers and judges, that drives advances or retreats from political liberalism, that political liberalism itself is everywhere in play, in countries with established democracies and those without liberal politics and that it is now clear that the legal arena is a central field of struggle over the shape of political power. The case studies presented here provide powerful evidence that the nexus of bar and bench in transitions towards or away from political liberalism is a force which has universal application.

Download or read book Health in Ruins written by César Ernesto Abadía-Barrero and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Health in Ruins César Ernesto Abadía-Barrero chronicles the story of El Materno—Colombia’s oldest maternity and neonatal health center and teaching hospital—over several decades as it faced constant threats of government shutdown. Using team-based and collaborative ethnography to analyze the social life of neoliberal health policy, Abadía-Barrero details the everyday dynamics around teaching, learning, and working in health care before, during, and after privatization. He argues that health care privatization is not only about defunding public hospitals; it also ruins rich traditions of medical care by denying or destroying ways of practicing medicine that challenge Western medicine. Despite radical cuts in funding and a corrupt and malfunctioning privatized system, El Materno’s professors, staff, and students continued to find ways to provide innovative, high-quality, and noncommodified health care. By tracking the violences, conflicts, hopes, and uncertainties that characterized the struggles to keep El Materno open, Abadía-Barrero demonstrates that any study of medical care needs to be embedded in larger political histories.
