Book El Proceso de Integraci  n Regional Del Mercosur

Download or read book El Proceso de Integraci n Regional Del Mercosur written by Sergio Caballero Santos and published by Ewe Editorial Acad MIA Espa Ola. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta tesis doctoral aborda los aspectos teoricos y conceptuales referidos a la integracion regional mercosurena. El "lugar desde el que hablamos" sera el de las Relaciones Internacionales, abordando tangencialmente sus debates internos y sus distintos posicionamientos ontologicos y epistemologicos, haciendoles dialogar entre si y tendiendo puentes entre diferentes enfoques. Dicho bagaje teorico pretende ser aplicado sobre una realidad concreta de la politica sudamericana. Asi, el objeto sustantivo de estudio sera la determinacion de los tomadores de decisiones de los paises de Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil y Argentina de crear un mecanismo de integracion -el Mercosur- a traves del cual desarrollen politicas regionales (o coordinen politicas nacionales con efecto regional) que tengan un impacto sobre sus sociedades. Dado que esta ha sido una aspiracion reiterada en el tiempo, se hara un recorrido historico para enmarcarlo y contextualizarlo, aunque el foco temporal se concentrara en el periodo inmediatamente posterior a las ultimas recuperaciones democraticas -esto es, desde los anos ochenta dependiendo de cada uno de los paises- y hasta fechas recientes -esto es, finales de 2011-."

Book El Proceso de Integraci  n en El Mercosur

Download or read book El Proceso de Integraci n en El Mercosur written by Ingrid Hahn Arellano and published by Ewe Editorial Acad MIA Espa Ola. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta investigacion, la autora presenta un analisis sobre el papel que Brasil desempena como principal Estado motor y guia en el proceso de integracion del Mercado Comun del Sur (Mercosur), a traves del empleo de mecanismos legales y de medios estatales alternos para ejercer su hegemonia. En este contexto, el respaldo del Banco Nacional de Desarrollo Economico y Social (BNDES) se presenta como fundamental para asegurar la continuacion y profundizacion de la integracion, ofreciendo a Brasil la oportunidad de guiar el proceso. Asimismo, el texto presenta los principales objetivos e intereses perseguidos por Brasil a traves del bloque regional, y analiza las implicaciones, entendidas como derechos y responsabilidades, que el ejercicio de dicha hegemonia representan. Sin Brasil, Mercosur no tendria la envergadura actual y dificilmente podria ser considerado un modelo de integracion regional relevante. Sin embargo, su liderazgo no es estatico y depende de diferentes factores que le permitan consolidar las bases de una integracion cada vez mas profunda."

Book Regionalism in Latin America

Download or read book Regionalism in Latin America written by JOSÉ BRICEÑO-RUIZ and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the political economy of regionalism in Latin America. It identifies convergent forces which have existed in the region since its very conception and analyses these dynamics in their different historical, geographic and structural contexts. Particular attention is paid to key countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, as well as subregions like the Southern Cone and Central America. To understand the resilience of regionalism in Latin America, this book proposes to highlight four main issues. Firstly, that resilience is linked to mechanisms of self-enforcement that are part of the accumulation of experiences, institution building and common cultural features described in this book as regionalist acquis. Secondly, the elements and driving forces behind the promotion and expression of the regionalist acquis are influenced and shaped by nested systems in which social processes are inserted. Thirdly, when looking at systems, there is a particular influence by national and global ones, which condition the form and endurance of regional projects. Finally, beyond systems, the book highlights the relevance of agents as crucial players in the shaping of the resilience of regionalism in Latin America. This insightful collection will appeal to advanced students and researchers in international economics, international relations, international political economy, economic history and Latin American studies.

Book The Circular Economy and the Global South

Download or read book The Circular Economy and the Global South written by Patrick Schröder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

Book Rise Trading State

Download or read book Rise Trading State written by Richard Rosecrance and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1987-05-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will power look like in the century to come? Imperial Great Britain may have been the model for the nineteenth century, Richard Rosecrance writes, but Hong Kong will be the model for the twenty-first. We are entering the Age of the Virtual State -- when land and its products are no longer the primary source of power, when managing flows is more important than maintaining stockpiles, when service industries are the greatest source of wealth and expertise and creativity are the greatest natural resources.Rosecrance's brilliant new book combines international relations theory with economics and the business model of the virtual corporation to describe how virtual states arise and operate, and how traditional powers will relate to them. In specific detail, he shows why Japan's kereitsu system, which brought it industrial dominance, is doomed; why Hong Kong and Taiwan will influence China more than vice-versa; and why the European Union will command the most international prestige even though the U.S. may produce more wealth.

Book The Origins of Mercosur

Download or read book The Origins of Mercosur written by G. Gardini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of democratization and regionalization in South America ran parallel to one another between 1985 and 1991. However, the nature of this relationship is by no means clear. This book explores the diplomatic history of the formation of Mercosur and analyzes the precise place of democracy in the process. At the methodological level, a combination of hitherto unexamined documents and extensive interview material makes for a novel oral history approach to diplomatic studies. At the theoretical level, a melding of cognitive approaches to foreign policy making and realist theory of international relations provides a nuanced but systematic explanation of events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain's membership of the European Union since 1986 has had a major impact. Driven primarily by political concerns to secure democracy, membership has also served as a catalyst to dynamic economic development in Spain.

At the same time, Spain's increasingly proactive role within the EU is also explored, with particular attention given to the country's international position in post-Cold War Europe.

Book Regional Leadership in the Global System

Download or read book Regional Leadership in the Global System written by Daniel Flemes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We assume that the ideas, interests and strategies of regional powers are highly significant variables, with the power to influence foreign policy. Yet while comparative research projects involving OECD-countries are fairly common, comparative research integrating developing regions is still rare, despite the fact that these countries are among the key actors of the twenty-first century. This collection emphasizes the role of regional powers in intra-regional, interregional and global contexts, analyzing the rise of regional powers from a comparative perspective. In so doing, the book explains how these powers have power to shape regional and global politics.

Book Israel s Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood

Download or read book Israel s Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood written by Idith Zertal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ghost of the Holocaust is ever present in Israel, in the lives and nightmares of the survivors and in the absence of the victims. In this compelling and disturbing analysis, Idith Zertal, a leading member of the new generation of revisionist historians in Israel, considers the ways Israel has used the memory of the Holocaust to define and legitimize its existence and politics. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the author exposes the pivotal role of the Holocaust in Israel's public sphere, in its project of nation building, its politics of power and its perception of the conflict with the Palestinians. She argues that the centrality of the Holocaust has led to a culture of death and victimhood that permeates Israel's society and self-image. For the updated paperback edition of the book, Tony Judt, the world-renowned historian and political commentator, has contributed a foreword in which he writes of Zertal's courage, the originality of her work, and the 'unforgiving honesty with which she looks at the moral condition of her own country'.

Book Spain in the E U  The Road to Economic Convergenc

Download or read book Spain in the E U The Road to Economic Convergenc written by M. Farrell and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2001-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain and the EU takes the country's accession to the European Community in 1986 as its starting point and traces the changes in the national and regional economy, the shifts in national economic policy, and the fundamental restructuring of a public sector only recently enlarged as a result of the country's transition to democracy. The book identifies the challenges that continue to confront the Spanish polity under monetary integration in the pursuit of convergence towards the EU model, while retaining national cohesion. Aimed at an academic and general audience, the issues raised in this book have broader lessons for the management of integration at the national and sub-national level, particularly for new member states.
