Book excerpt: Ante la buena acogida que ha tenido su obra sobre La recuperación de activos frente a la corrupción, los autores presentan esta segunda edición, actualizada y ampliada. La obra está dedicada al estudio de diversos aspectos relacionados con la corrupción, uno de los más preocupantes fenómenos criminales, que tanto daño hace al Estado democrático de Derecho, especialmente si tiene lugar en el sector público, pues en tal caso pueden llegar a producirse decisiones políticas condicionadas o motivadas por razones diferentes al interés general, único que debe guiar la actuación de los gestores públicos, afectando así al propio sistema institucional. La corrupción exige una respuesta firme y eficaz, que rechace con contundencia las prácticas corruptas y permita recuperar la confianza de todos los ciudadanos en la Administración y los servidores públicos, siendo la recuperación de activos una de las prioridades en la política criminal moderna, que permite hacer realidad el principio de que el delito nunca resulte provechoso a su autor, conjuntamente con la regulación del decomiso, que representa también un eficaz instrumento de lucha no sólo contra la corrupción, sino contra toda la delincuencia en general, especialmente la organizada, cuya motivación fundamental es la obtención de beneficios económicos. Todo ello, naturalmente, en el marco de las garantías propias del debido proceso. La transparencia, una eficaz medida anticorrupción, la implementación de las recomendaciones tanto del Grupo Anticorrupción de la OCDE como del Grupo de Estados contra la corrupción del Consejo de Europa (GRECO), que confirma el compromiso de España frente a la corrupción en el marco de la cooperación internacional, la mejora de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas, aplicable incluso a partidos políticos, el endurecimiento de las penas previstas para los delitos contra la Administración pública y del régimen de financiación de los partidos políticos, la nueva regulación del decomiso y su complemento, el proceso de decomiso autónomo y, en fin, la Oficina de Recuperación y Gestión de Activos (ORGA), permiten confirmar los avances legislativos que, contra esta práctica delictiva, se han producido en España en los últimos años. En esta nueva edición, que ve la luz transcurridos cinco años desde la aparición del libro, se han introducido algunas mejoras y añadidos, para actualizar su contenido, sin afectar a su estructura, destacando entre las modificaciones y reformas producidas a lo largo de este tiempo, la reforma del Real Decreto 948/2015, de 23 de octubre, regulador de la Oficina de Recuperación y Gestión de Activos, por el Real Decreto 93/2018, que clarifica ciertas dudas interpretativas suscitadas respecto a su ámbito de actuación, subsanando algunas lagunas, como la intervención de la Oficina a instancia del Letrado de la Administración de Justicia en fase de ejecución, añadiéndose además un nuevo capítulo dedicado a “La gestión de activos por la Oficina”, y el Reglamento (UE) 2018/1805 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 14 de noviembre de 2018, sobre el reconocimiento mutuo de las resoluciones de embargo y decomiso, novedad esta última que ha exigido una ampliación del capítulo II del libro, dedicado a “El papel del decomiso en la recuperación de activos procedentes del delito”, en el que se incluye un nuevo apartado dedicado al referido Reglamento europeo. Tanto este como el Real Decreto modificado, están incluidos, dada su importancia, en el anexo legislativo contenido en la presente obra.Manuel Jaén Vallejo es Doctor en Derecho por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (sobresaliente cum laude), Profesor Titular de Derecho Penal y Magistrado, número 1 de su promoción.

Download or read book Social Innovation and Territorial Development written by Diana MacCallum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of social innovation offers an alternative perspective on development and territorial transformation, one which foregrounds innovation in social relations. This volume presents a broad-ranging and insightful exploration of social innovation and how it can affect life, society and economy, especially within local communities. It addresses key questions about the nature of social innovation as a process and a strategy and explores what opportunities may exist, or may be generated, for social innovation to nourish human development. It puts forward alternative development options which variously highlight solidarity, co-operation, cultural-artistic endeavour and diversity. In doing so, this book offers a provocative response to the predominant neoliberal economic vision of spatial, economic and social change.
Download or read book Causes of Delinquency written by Travis Hirschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here.Often listed as a Citation Classic, Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.
Download or read book Can Neighbourhoods Save the City written by Frank Moulaert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, neighbourhoods been pivotal sites of social, economic and political exclusion processes, and civil society initiatives, attempting bottom-up strategies of re-development and regeneration. In many cases these efforts resulted in the creation of socially innovative organizations, seeking to satisfy the basic human needs of deprived population groups, to increase their political capabilities and to improve social interaction both internally and between the local communities, the wider urban society and political world. SINGOCOM - Social INnovation GOvernance and COMmunity building – is the acronym of the EU-funded project on which this book is based. Sixteen case studies of socially-innovative initiatives at the neighbourhood level were carried out in nine European cities, of which ten are analysed in depth and presented here. The book compares these efforts and their results, and shows how grass-roots initiatives, alternative local movements and self-organizing urban collectives are reshaping the urban scene in dynamic, creative, innovative and empowering ways. It argues that such grass-roots initiatives are vital for generating a socially cohesive urban condition that exists alongside the official state-organized forms of urban governance. The book is thus a major contribution to socio-political literature, as it seeks to overcome the duality between community-development studies and strategies, and the solidarity-based making of a diverse society based upon the recognising and maintaining of citizenship rights. It will be of particular interest to both students and researchers in the fields of urban studies, social geography and political science.

Download or read book Eurocommunism Is Anti Communism written by Enver Hoxha and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enver Halil Hoxha (1908 – 1985) was a Marxist–Leninist revolutionary and the leader of Albania from the end of World War II until his death in 1985, as the First Secretary of the Party of Labour of Albania. He also served as Prime Minister of Albania from 1944 to 1954, Minister of Defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chairman of the Democratic Front from 1945 to his death, and as Commander-in-Chief of the Albanian armed forces from 1944 to his death. Hoxha's leadership was characterized by his proclaimed firm adherence to anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism from the mid-1970s onwards."In a situation when the European bourgeoisie is in great difficulties because of the grave economic and political crisis, when the revolt of the masses against the consequences of this crisis and capitalist oppression and exploitation is mounting to ever higher levels, nothing could serve it better than the anti-Marxist views and anti-worker activity of the Eurocommunists. Nothing could give greater assistance to the strategy of imperialism for the suppression of the revolution, the undermining of liberation struggles and domination of the world than the revisionist, pacifist, capitulationist, collaborationist trends, including Eurocommunism."
Download or read book Democracy as Problem Solving written by Xavier De Souza Briggs and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies from around the world and theoretical discussion show how the capacity to act collectively on local problems can be developed, strengthening democracy while changing social and economic outcomes. Complexity, division, mistrust, and “process paralysis” can thwart leaders and others when they tackle local challenges. In Democracy as Problem Solving, Xavier de Souza Briggs shows how civic capacity—the capacity to create and sustain smart collective action—can be developed and used. In an era of sharp debate over the conditions under which democracy can develop while broadening participation and building community, Briggs argues that understanding and building civic capacity is crucial for strengthening governance and changing the state of the world in the process. More than managing a contest among interest groups or spurring deliberation to reframe issues, democracy can be what the public most desires: a recipe for significant progress on important problems. Briggs examines efforts in six cities, in the United States, Brazil, India, and South Africa, that face the millennial challenges of rapid urban growth, economic restructuring, and investing in the next generation. These challenges demand the engagement of government, business, and nongovernmental sectors. And the keys to progress include the ability to combine learning and bargaining continuously, forge multiple forms of accountability, and find ways to leverage the capacity of the grassroots and what Briggs terms the “grasstops,” regardless of who initiates change or who participates over time. Civic capacity, Briggs shows, can—and must—be developed even in places that lack traditions of cooperative civic action.

Download or read book Jean Renoir written by Ronald Bergan and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now back in print, the definitive biography of a seminal figure in film history, whom Orson Welles called “the greatest of all directors.” Jean Renoir’s career almost spans the history years of cinema–from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war. Decades after its release, Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1939) is the only film to have been included on every top ten list in the Sight & Sound's respected decennial poll since 1952, cementing Renoir’s influence. André Bazin and François Truffaut praised Renoir as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Jean Renoir: Projections of Paradise gives detailed accounts of Renoir’s working methods and captivating appraisals of his films, and his long and fascinating life from his blissful childhood as the son of the great Impressionist painter August Renoir. This is a must-read for students of film and all fans of entertaining, timeless movies.
