Political Parties and Democracy
Native scholars explore the relationship between political parties and democracy in regions around the world. The development of political parties over the past century is the story of three stages in the pursuit of power: liberation, democratization, and de-democratization. Political Parties and Democracy is comprised of five, stand-alone volumes that probe the realities of political parties at all three stages. In each volume, contributors explore the relationship between political parties and democracy (or democratization) in their nations, providing necessary historical, socioeconomic, and institutional context, as well as the details of contemporary political tensions. Contributors are distinguished indigenous scholars who have lived the truths they tell and are, thus, able to write with unique breadth, depth, and scope. They show the parties of their respective nations as they have developed through history and changing institutional structures, and they explain the balance of power among them—and between them and competing agencies of power—today.
Integración de las TIC en la educación infantil
Un grupo de docentes socializa aquí sus experiencias y propuestas didácticas que tienen como eje la exploración e implementación de las Tecnologías de Información y la Comunicación, concibiéndolas de manera transversal a los diferentes campos del conocimiento, innovando en las prácticas. Así es como se describen proyectos en los que las TIC aparecen como recursos para indagar acerca de diversos contenidos, otros donde se incluyen como medios para la comunicación con las familias, y también algunos en los que se convierten en objeto de estudio. Contar con un marco pedagógico conceptual para la educación digital en el Nivel Inicial permite reflexionar sobre su integración a las prácticas pedagógicas, invita a diseñar nuevos recorridos por escenarios alfabetizadores, de comunicación, indagación, experimentación, investigación y creación en contextos educativos enriquecidos por las TIC, con la posibilidad de trascender la sala para conocer, aprender y compartir experiencias con otros.
Technopols
In recent years first Chile, then Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have abandoned decades-old authoritarian political regimes and state-directed economic strategies and moved toward democratized politics and freer markets. This volume seeks to understand the key roles of "technopols"--technically skilled, politically savvy leaders--in these transformations. It is based in part on elite interviews with each of the leaders discussed: Domingo Cavallo of Argentina, Pedro Aspe of Mexico, Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil, and Evelyn Matthei and Alejandro Foxley of Chile. All are major social scientists turned politicians who, the authors argue here, have themselves contributed to the formulation of the ideas that they eventually came to implement in their respective governments. Contributors are Jorge I. Domínguez, Javier Corrales, Stephanie R. Cobb, João Resende-Santos, Delia M. Boylan, and Jeanne Kinney Giraldo.

Chile 1973. The Other 9/11
A history of the build-up and the ultimate clash during the Chilean coup of 11 September 1973, featuring over 100 color photos, profiles, and maps. In 1970, Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens, a physician and leftist politician, was elected the President of Chile. Involved in political life for nearly 40 years, Allende adopted a policy of nationalization of industries and collectivization—measures that brought him on a collision course with the legislative and judicial branches of the government, and then the center-right majority of the Chilean Congress. Before long, calls were issued for his overthrow by force. Indeed, on 11 September 1973, the military—supported by the Central Intelli...
