Este libro pretende abrir el diafragma para enfocar a más instituciones, más poderes públicos, más procesos institucionales, llegando incluso al corazón de la sociedad, al formado por las personas más activa, las que se encuadran en organizaciones sociales, políticas y sindicales.

Su contenido es, sencillamente, resultado de la reflexión y percepción, del análisis y sentimientos, de la razón y el corazón del autor; en definitiva, una sincera y vliosa aportación a este debate.

Download or read book Democracia sin ciudadanos written by Victoria Camps and published by Trotta. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los retos de las democracias liberales es la construcción de una ciudadanía moral, donde los ciudadanos se sepan sujetos no sólo de unos derechos fundamentales, sino también de unos deberes cívicos. Algunas de las teorías morales contemporáneas, como el comunitarismo y el republicanismo, han subrayado ese déficit que convierte a las sociedades actuales en conjuntos de individuos atomizados que ejercen su libertad sin cooperar a favor del interés público. Nuestra democracia es, en muchos aspectos, una «democracia sin ciudadanos», con rasgos preocupantes como la falta de civismo, la desafección política y la poca participación en los asuntos que conciernen a todos. Los ensayos que componen este libro constituyen una serie de reflexiones en torno a las dificultades de nuestro tiempo para definir la función del ciudadano. Se analizan las realidades que hacen especialmente difícil que el deber de civilidad sea asumido como algo intrínseco a la condición de ciudadano. Realidades como el peso de la economía, el poder de los medios de comunicación, el resurgir de los nacionalismos, el declive de la fraternidad y, en definitiva, la existencia de personalidades indecisas, desapegadas y desmoralizadas. La realidad es la de una «democracia contra sí misma», según la expresión de Marcel Gauchet, que, entre otros objetivos, debe repensar el papel que la educación ha de tener en la construcción de una ciudadanía más activa y comprometida. Esta obra interesará tanto a los teóricos de la ética y de la política, como a quienes se enfrentan a la tarea de educar, al gobierno de las administraciones o sencillamente se cuestionan cuál debiera ser el lugar del ciudadano en nuestras democracias.

Download or read book A War that Can t Be Won written by Tony Payan and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than forty years have passed since President Richard Nixon described illegal drugs as “public enemy number one” and declared a “War on Drugs.” Recently the United Nations Global Commission on Drug Policy declared that “the global war on drugs has failed with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world.” Arguably, no other country has suffered as much from the War on Drugs as Mexico. From 2006 to 2012 alone, at least sixty thousand people have died. Some experts have said that the actual number is more than one hundred thousand. Because the war was conceived and structured by US policymakers and officials, many commentators believe that the United States is deeply implicated in the bloodshed. A War that Can’t Be Won is the first book to include contributions from scholars on both sides of the US–Mexico border. It provides a unique breadth of perspective on the many dimensions of the societal crisis that affects residents of both nations—particularly those who live and work in the borderlands. It also proposes practical steps toward solving a crisis that shows no signs of abating under current policies. Each chapter is based on well-documented data, including previously unavailable evidence that was obtained through freedom-of-information inquiries in Mexico. By bringing together views from both sides of the border, as well as from various academic disciplines, this volume offers a much wider view of a complex problem—and possible solutions.
Download or read book Enhancing Democracy written by Gonzalo Delamaza and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Pinochet regime, Chilean public policy has sought to rebuild democratic governance in the country. This book examines the links between the state and civil society in Chile and the ways social policies have sought to ensure the inclusion of the poor in society and democracy. Although Chile has gained political stability and grown economically, the ability of social policies to expand democratic governance and participation has proved limited, and in fact such policies have become subordinate to an elitist model of democracy and resulted in a restrictive form of citizen participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entre los diversos hitos que han supuesto en la historia de la humanidad avances decisivos en muy diferentes ámbitos, económicos, sociales o culturales, resulta de extraordinaria importancia el momento en el que un grupo de individuos se entendieron a sí mismos como miembros de pleno derecho de una comunidad, y se dotaron en consecuencia de unas normas de convivencia y de unas leyes a las que se sometieron, con privilegios y obligaciones. Significó el paso trascendental de súbditos a ciudadanos, el tránsito de unas sociedades gobernadas por reyes a otras administradas por conciudadanos, que podemos denominar de manera genética como repúblicas.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the financial meltdown and the economic crisis in their fifth year already no one can any longer be in doubt about their exceptional gravity, their truly global impact and their profound effects hurting vulnerable groups and the very poor especially. As the world looks for an exit from this economic crisis – the worst in eight decades – the focus of attention is naturally on the causes, the factors that account for its wide reach and severity, as well as on strategies that might bring it to a closure. The quest for exit strategies is at the very centre of the issues and concerns explored in the present volume, produced by the IIAS. Like the preceding volumes, but even more emphatically, this volume, representing a collective endeavour of scholars and practitioners from many parts of the globe, finds cause to lay the blame, for our difficult predicament, on the institutional deficit, the policies, the practices and values that have followed in the trail of a highly misleading and erroneous model of governance. The «Market Model of Governance» as it is known, sought to reform, the structures and culture of administration and government in private sector ways. While instrumental values like efficiency and effectiveness were raised and praised profusely, those of democratic governance were discounted by comparison. In particular, integrity, the rule of law and due process, equity, legality and public service professionalism suffered a steep decline, in several parts of the world. Likewise, the invasion and the capture of public space, inevitably led to an unprecedented surge of greed, abuse and corruption that contributed directly to the crisis which is upon us. Looking for exit strategies, as its title aptly suggests, the present volume offers a rich menu of ideas drawn from the current experience of all the world ́s main regions. Not surprisingly, two concepts stand out throughout the book as necessary correctives, as well as pressing remedies to the world ́s ongoing malaise. They call for the recapture of our common administrative space and the reaffirmation of the values and virtues appropriate for democratic governance. To the IIAS, none perhaps are more important than public service professionalism and none other can contribute more effectively to the reform and consolidation of sound institutions for national, sub national, global and regional governance. For these reasons, at this juncture, the new volume like the others should be featured in every public library and become a vademecum of all scholars and practitioners of public administration and politics around the world.
Download or read book La era secular written by Charles Taylor and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos siglos Occidente ha ensanchado el abanico de las opciones de la creencia, ya sean religiosas, ateas u otras difíciles de clasificar. Un proceso paulatino de declive de la fe y retirada de la religión de la vida pública. Este retroceso supone un cambio impactante si pensamos en el papel que hasta hace poco jugaban las iglesias cristianas en el mundo Occidental. ¿Por qué ha sucedido todo esto? ¿Cuáles son los rasgos del nuevo paisaje espiritual? La era secular es el ensayo escrito más ambicioso y sobresaliente sobre el complejo proceso de secularización en Occidente que aún sigue en marcha. El filósofo Charles Taylor desgrana, en este segundo volumen, el cambio de las condiciones de la fe que desde la Ilustración socavaron las viejas formas y sentaron las bases de una nueva alternativa humanista. Sin embargo, este debilitamiento de las representaciones anteriores no ha sido incompatible con la persistencia de cierto anhelo de religiosidad, lo cual se traduce en nuestros días, en el florecimiento de múltiples alternativas —a veces contradictorias— y en un novedoso pluralismo en cuestión de espiritualidad.

Download or read book Feminist Agendas and Democracy in Latin America written by Jane S. Jaquette and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American women’s movements played important roles in the democratic transitions in South America during the 1980s and in Central America during the 1990s. However, very little has been written on what has become of these movements and their agendas since the return to democracy. This timely collection examines how women’s movements have responded to the dramatic political, economic, and social changes of the last twenty years. In these essays, leading scholar-activists focus on the various strategies women’s movements have adopted and assess their successes and failures. The book is organized around three broad topics. The first, women’s access to political power at the national level, is addressed by essays on the election of Michelle Bachelet in Chile, gender quotas in Argentina and Brazil, and the responses of the women’s movement to the “Bolivarian revolution” in Venezuela. The second topic, the use of legal strategies, is taken up in essays on women’s rights across the board in Argentina, violence against women in Brazil, and gender in the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Peru. Finally, the international impact of Latin American feminists is explored through an account of their participation in the World Social Forum, an assessment of a Chilean-led project carried out by women’s organizations in several countries to hold governments to the promises they made at international conferences in Cairo and Beijing, and an account of cross-border organizing to address femicides and domestic abuse in the Juárez-El Paso border region. Jane S. Jaquette provides the historical and political context of women’s movement activism in her introduction, and concludes the volume by engaging contemporary debates about feminism, civil society, and democracy.
