Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percepciones Originales Tiene la buena intención de hacer entender el origen de la vida corpórea-energética a través de retrospectivos viajes mentales de rastreo en el tiempo, ingresando hasta en los inicios del florecer de la vida, en los momentos cuando se está engendrando un nuevo ser, el que embrionariamente comienza a brotar y a desarrollarse, cargándose energéticamente. Alcides G. Vidal La obra induce realizar voluntarias y misteriosas aventuras mentales, en cortos y rápidos recorridos hasta el interior de un longevo pasado, para poder revivir esas fantásticas épocas. Igualmente contiene complejos casos de una natural e ingenua comunicación telepática y de percepción. Como todo buen trabajo no deja de presentar algunas misteriosas incógnitas, formulando nuevas interrogantes; donde lo más importante es que devela una línea intuitiva para el raciocinio de las épocas vividas. El libro también pregunta: ¿Puede el cuerpo humano, al nacer, adquirir características que hasta pudieran marcarle fronteras energéticas mensurables? ¿Existen nuevas fuerzas energéticas actuando en nuestro alrededor y cuerpo, desde mucho tiempo antes del alumbramiento? Aunque muchos de los casos presentados en esta obra serán considerados como familiares y comunes, otros seguramente resultarán novedosos. El Dr. Hugo Salinas, desde Francia dice: “El libro es bastante original. Es un tema bastante atrayente. En casi todo concuerdo con el planteamiento del autor”.

Download or read book Violent Peace written by David R. Mares and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David R. Mares argues that the key factors influencing political leaders in all types of polities are the costs to their constituencies of using force and whether the leader can survive their displeasure if the costs exceed what they are willing to pay. Violent Peace proposes a conceptual scheme for analyzing militarized conflict and supports this framework with evidence from the history of Latin America.
Download or read book The State War and the State of War written by Kalevi Jaakko Holsti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War has traditionally been studied as a problem deriving from the relations between states. Strategic doctrines, arms control agreements, and the foundation of international organizations such as the United Nations are designed to prevent wars between states. Since 1945, however, the incidence of interstate war has actually been declining rapidly, while the incidence of internal wars has been increasing. The author argues that in order to understand this significant change in historical patterns, we should jettison many of the analytical devices derived from international relations studies and shift attention to the problems of 'weak' states, those states unable to sustain domestic legitimacy and peace. This book surveys some of the foundations of state legitimacy and demonstrates why many weak states will be the locales of war in the future. Finally, the author asks what the United Nations can do about the problems of weak and failed states.

Download or read book American Crossings written by Maiah Jaskoski and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Agencies at the Mexican Border were overwhelmed in 2014 as tens of thousands of unaccompanied children arrived from Central America. Unprepared to receive migrants of this particular kind, the US government deployed troops to carry out a new border mission: the feeding, care, and housing-of this wave of children. This event highlights the complex social, economic, and political issues that arise along international borders. In American Crossings, nine scholars consider the complicated modern history of borders in the Western Hemisphere, examining them as geopolitical boundaries, key locations for internal security, spaces for international-trade, and areas where national and community identities are defined.
Download or read book The Military and Politics in Postauthoritarian Chile written by Gregory Bart Weeks and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Military and Politics in Post-Authoritarian Chile should be read by everyone concerned with the relation between democracy and the armed forces. It is a well-researched, well-written volume that should prove both interesting and useful to scholars and students alike." --Perspectives on Politics Why have political leaders of developing and authoritarian nations run into so many obstacles as they attempt to establish civilian supremacy over armed forces in the democratization of their countries? This is the question Gregory Weeks poses in his study of Chile from 1990 onward. He explains how the Chilean military has maintained a high level of political influence in the tumultuous aftermath of dictatorial rule by Army General Augusto Pinochet, thus confounding a smooth transition to civilian authority. Even after the reins of power were officially handed over in 1990, Pinochet continued as commander in chief of the army until 1998, when he took a lifetime seat in the Senate and led the military's efforts to retain its legal and constitutional prerogatives while limiting civilian oversight of military affairs. This assertion of guardianship by the military has produced a political tug-of-war between it and civilian authorities the two contenders for political primacy in Chile. In addition to recounting the historical background of this situation, Weeks's study examines where conflict between these two contenders has been most productive and accord has been highest. His findings suggest that formal contacts, conducted through formal institutions, have been the most conducive to civil supremacy and, therefore, the consolidation of democracy. Based on interviews, government documents, military journals, newspapers, and other archival sources, The Military and Politics in Postauthoritarian Chile describes how presidents, military officers, members of Congress, and judges have interacted since the end of the military regime. With implications for conflict resolution studies, this book will be valuable for Chileanists and policymakers and analysts of Latin American regimes, as well as academic libraries, military historians, social scientists, and students and scholars of Latin American history and politics.

Commissioned by the Inter-American Dialogue, this collection contributes to the debate on the future direction of inter-American relations.
