Regional Integration, Development, and Governance in Mesoamerica
This book provides an overview of governance and development in the Mesoamerican Region (MAR), the design and scope of the Plan Puebla Panamá (PPP), its relationship to pre-existing regional organisms and its transformation into Proyecto Mesoamérica. The PPP was introduced as a holistic project that would reverse the cycles of poverty in Mesoamerica. However, the plan incited huge opposition from many groups within Mesoamerica, and throughout its duration few of its objectives were met. The author analyses the plan and describes the regional setting and precursors, as well as the US policy towards the Mesoamerican countries. Using this approach with an analysis of governance in Mesoamerica, this monograph shows a more complete picture of why this ambitious development project did not reach its goals and draws applicable insights to other regions where governance is complex.

Global Perspectives on Decolonizing Postgraduate Education
A deep-seated issue persists in postgraduate educationone that threatens the relevance of academia in our diverse and evolving world. The problem at hand is the Western-centric nature of postgraduate education, where research paradigms, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks overwhelmingly reflect a Western worldview. This rigid adherence to Western ideologies has left indigenous communities on the periphery of academic discourse, denying them the opportunity to engage with their knowledge systems and practices. Despite the richness and prevalence of indigenous knowledge, the existing educational structure remains a barrier to their inclusion. This disconnect is not only an academic con...
Creating the Third Force
The profession of peacemaking has been practiced by indigenous communities around the world for many centuries; however, the ethnocentric world view of the West, which dominated the world of ideas for the last five centuries, dismissed indigenous forms of peacemaking as irrelevant and backward tribal rituals. Neither did indigenous forms of peacemaking fit the conception of modernization and development of the new ruling elites who inherited the postcolonial state. The new profession of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which emerged in the West as a new profession during the 1970s, neglected the tradition and practice of indigenous forms of peacemaking. The scant literature which has ap...
Transformaciones Sociopoliticas Recientes En America Latina
America Latina esta viviendo multiples transformaciones locales que cumplen la funcion de aprendizajes politicos y organizacionales para los sujetos sin derechos. Sin embargo, lo realizado hasta ahora no es suficiente para enarbolarlo como un proceso de cambio social profundo que llegue a resarcir los hilos asociativos deteriorados por la atomizacion social provocada por el neoliberalismo; tampoco es la panacea para olvidar los agravios y la exclusion. Estos espacios focalizados son un recurso estrategico que posibilita visualizar mejor los problemas, colectivizar las preocupaciones y hurgar en la caja de herramientas de las practicas politicas de ayer, que podemos retomar o inventar para tr...

Nuestros años diez
Nuestros años diez trata sobre el indigenismo, los levantamientos indigenas y el incaismo modernista en el Peru de la decada de 1910. Este libro estudia uno de los mas intensos periodos de la historia del Peru. Pero deliberadamente focaliza en el aspecto indigena de la cuestion. Por eso, se centra en la accion de la Asociacion Pro-Indigena, el levantamiento de Rumi Maqui y el impulso del incaismo modernista, y no se detiene en otros puntos que ya han sido prolijamente estudiados. Ademas, aunque destaca el rol cumplido por Pedro S. Zulen, Teodomiro Gutierrez Cuevas y Abraham Valdelomar, reivindica tambien a una serie de personajes que se les condeno a ser los eternos convidados de piedra de la historia del Peru.
En Colombia Si Hay Guerra
Colombia se convirtio en un pais estrategico para los intereses norteamericanos. Ademas de su posicion geografica que colinda con cinco paises, posee la infraestructura construida desde hace anos para agenciar una guerra regional: 21 radares civiles, 17 militares, brigadas de desplazamiento rapido ubicadas en sitios neuralgicos del pais, zonas donde se produce carbon y petroleo militarizadas. A todo ello hay que agregar la decena de empresas norteamericanas ligadas a la guerra que prestan sus servicios en venta de armas, manejo de radares, uso de informacion satelital, desplazamiento en zonas peligrosas con tacticas contrainsurgentes, venta de helicopteros y asesoria especializadas para la g...
Nuevas Practicas Politicas Insumisas en
Latinoamerica se viste con traje nuevo y de multiples colores porque cada color representa un actor que decidio asumir el rol, y el riesgo, de ser sujeto social. Los sujetos se asoman a las distintas ventanas de los conflictos sujeto para resolver problemas y emplazar a los gobiernos y adversarios para definir sus conductas, exigirles el respeto y poner un alto a las expropiaciones y privatizaciones. Su acuerpamiento afecta a la politica y la baja a los espacios donde se recrea la vida cotidiana. Carga de contenido las casas, las calles, las esquinas, las plazas y los medios de comunicacion. Sin embargo la continuidad no es consistente y se fragmenta muchas veces, de ahi que hay muchas lucha...
Presidential Breakdowns in Latin America
This volume is the first comprehensive analysis of a new type of executive instability without regime instability in Latin America referred to as "presidential breakdown." It includes a theoretical introduction framing the debate within the institutional literature on democracy and democratization, and the implications of this new type of executive instability for presidential democracies. Two comparative chapters analyze the causes, procedures, and outcomes of presidential breakdowns in a regional perspective, and country studies provide in-depth analyses of all countries in Latin America that have experienced one or several presidential breakdowns: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. The book also includes an epilogue on the 2009 presidential crisis in Honduras.
