Book excerpt: En tiempos " postutópicos " como los que corren, profundizar en la democracia parece ser uno de los pocos proyectos capaces de generar ilusión suficiente como para salvarnos del vacío producido por el éxito de haberla alcanzado. Pero para comprenderlo no estará de más averiguar en qué negocio nos estamos embarcando, y preguntar a liberales, demócratas, socialistas, tecnólogos, representacionistas y participacionistas qué idea de democracia ofrecen en que valga la pena profundizar. Curiosamente mientras los partidarios de la democracia política representativa discuten con los de la participativa, la respuesta parece venir hoy de la sociedad civil, de aquellos sectores en que los hombres concretos, raíz de cualquier forma de organización social, exigen ser tenidos significativamente en cuenta en las decisiones que les afectan, que es en definitiva la exigencia de una democracia radical. Son , pues, los distintos ámbitos de la llamada " ética aplicada " -La bioética y la GenÉtica, la ética de la empresa y de la educación, la ética de la información y la ecoética- los que están que se realicen los ideales de una democracia que vaya a la raíz. Pero eso sí: no cualquierética aplicada, sino aquella que entiende, desde una determinada antroponomía, que cada hombre es un interlocutor válido, al que es ineludible tener en cuenta. La realización de una democracia radical exige, entonces, emprender en todos los ámbitos e instituciones una revolución ética.

Book excerpt: De las palabras políticas existentes, no cabe duda de que democracia es una de las que más cruelmente se ha abusado. Se la ha utilizado para justificar revolución, contrarrevolución, terror, compromiso y mediocridad. La democracia ha sido tratada como la prostituta de las palabras políticas. Es difícil repensar la democracia o incluso pensar cuál de sus multiples significados y usos reconsiderar. ¿Es posible rehabilitar una palabra tan corrompida? Este libro adopta la postura de que dicha rehabilitación es tanto posible como necesaria.

Download or read book Angola written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once one of the world's largest staple food producers, Angola is now known as a major oil exporter - the second largest producer in sub-Saharan Africa. Angola is also the world's fourth largest producer of rough diamonds in terms of value, with the potential to become one of the leading global diamond producers. In addition to oil and diamonds, the country is well endowed with agricultural resources which remain mostly untapped. However, despite the country's significant natural wealth, a prolonged civil war, the rapid development of the oil sector, and the policies pursued after Independence in 1975 have left the Angolan economy in a unique situation, characterized by very uneven indicators of development. The Angolan economy is now experiencing massive oil windfall gains that are expected to last throughout the next decade. Since oil rents are to a large part concentrated in the public sector, the question of how the oil revenue should be spent and distributed across present and future generations becomes key to any economic development strategy. This study identifies six core areas where a strategic approach for the development of a broad-based growth strategy is required: (i) the incomplete transition to a market economy; (ii) macroeconomic management; (iii) governance and transparency in the management of the mineral wealth; (iv) the business environment; (v) agriculture; and (vi) public service delivery to the poor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Diversity and Unity in Federal Countries, leading scholars and practitioners analyse the current political, socio-economic, spatial, and cultural diversity in the countries under consideration before delving into the role that social, historical, and political factors have had in shaping the balance of diversity and unity. The authors assess the value placed on diversity by examining whether present institutional arrangements and public policies restrict or enhance diversity and address the future challenges of balancing diversity and unity in an increasingly populated and mobile world.

Download or read book The Macroeconomics of Populism in Latin America written by Rudiger Dornbusch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Again and again, Latin America has seen the populist scenario played to an unfortunate end. Upon gaining power, populist governments attempt to revive the economy through massive spending. After an initial recovery, inflation reemerges and the government responds with wage an price controls. Shortages, overvaluation, burgeoning deficits, and capital flight soon precipitate economic crisis, with a subsequent collapse of the populist regime. The lessons of this experience are especially valuable for countries in Eastern Europe, as they face major political and economic decisions. Economists and political scientists from the United States and Latin America detail in this volume how and why such programs go wrong and what leads policymakers to repeatedly adopt these policies despite a history of failure. Authors examine this pattern in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru—and show how Colombia managed to avoid it. Despite differences in how each country implemented its policies, the macroeconomic consequences were remarkably similar. Scholars of Latin America will find this work a valuable resource, offering a distinctive macroeconomic perspective on the continuing controversy over the dynamics of populism.

Download or read book Self Fulfillment written by Alan Gewirth and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultures around the world have regarded self-fulfillment as the ultimate goal of human striving and as the fundamental test of the goodness of a human life. The ideal has also been criticized, however, as egotistical or as so value-neutral that it fails to distinguish between, for example, self-fulfilled sinners and self-fulfilled saints. Alan Gewirth presents here a systematic and highly original study of self-fulfillment that seeks to overcome these and other arguments and to justify the high place that the ideal has been accorded. He does so by developing an ethical theory that ultimately grounds the value of self-fulfillment in the idea of the dignity of human beings. Gewirth begins by distinguishing two models of self- fulfillment--aspiration-fulfillment and capacity-fulfillment--and shows how each of these contributes to the intrinsic value of human life. He then distinguishes between three types of morality--universalist, particularist, and personalist--and shows how each contributes to the values embodied in self-fulfillment. Building on these ideas, he develops a Odialectical' conception of reason that shows how human rights are central to self-fulfillment. Gewirth also argues that self-fulfillment has a social as well as an individual dimension: that the nature of society and the obstacles that disadvantaged groups face affect strongly the character of the self-fulfillment that persons can achieve. Bold in scope and rigorous in execution, Self-Fulfillment is a powerful new contribution to moral, social, and political philosophy.

Download or read book Strategic Communication in Context Theoretical Debates and Applied Research written by Sara Balonas and published by UMinho Editora/CECS. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic communication is becoming more relevant in communication sciences, though it needs to deepen its reflective practices, especially considering its potential in a VUCA world — volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The capillary, holistic and result-oriented nature that portrays this scientific field has led to the imperative of expanding knowledge about the different approaches, methodologies and impacts in all kinds of organisations when strategic communication is applied. Therefore Strategic Communication in Context: Theoretical Debates and Applied Research assembles several studies and essays by renowned authors who explore the topic from different angles, thus testing the elasticity of the concept. Moreover, this group of authors represents various schools of thought and geographies, making this book particularly rich and cross-disciplinary.
