Obra que aborda los cambios, continuidades y contradicciones protagonizados por el sindicalismo mexicano. Analiza cómo lo han afectado las reformas en la economía y la política laboral, en qué consiste su poder de negociación y su peso político, cómo se han dado sus alianzas con sus contrapartes de Canadá y Estados Unidos, y cómo la falta de una rendición de cuentas y los controles del gobierno lo han debilitado. Magnífico libro, inscrito en los debates sobre el papel de los sindicatos en la democratización política, que contribuye a una mejor comprensión del tema en América Latina.
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology

International trade agreements have often been criticized for limited attention to the rights of workers. The North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC), a side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), stands out for linking labor rights provisions to a U.S. trade agreement. Kevin J. Middlebrook provides a comprehensive and systematic examination of the NAALC, assessing its efficacy in protecting workers’ rights over the entire period it was in effect and demonstrating its broader significance for the role of trade and labor standards in U.S. foreign policy. Placing the NAALC in comparative context, Middlebrook considers various ways of promoting workers’ ...
Este libro se empezó a escribir antes y durante el proceso electoral de 2018, y se concluyó una vez que se conocieron los primeros resultados de la elección del 2 de julio que llevaron al triunfo en la titularidad del Ejecutivo federal a Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Al fin, después de una Jefatura de Gobierno en el Distrito Federal (2000-2005), hoy Ciudad de México, de sortear un torpe y absurdo proceso de Declaración de Procedencia en 2005 y de su participación, en dos ocasiones, como candidato a la Presidencia de la República (2006 y 2012), la izquierda, encabezada por López Obrador, alcanzaba su objetivo. Esa noche todos dormimos tranquilos. La fuerte personalidad del candidato y la definición de la elección casi desde el inicio, centraron la atención de los comicios de ese domingo en la elección presidencial.

The Maya Indian peoples of Chiapas had been mobilizing politically for years before the Zapatista rebellion that brought them to international attention. This authoritative volume explores the different ways that Indians across Chiapas have carved out autonomous cultural and political spaces in their diverse communities and regions. Offering a consistent and cohesive vision of the complex evolution of a region and its many cultures and histories, this work is a fundamental source for understanding key issues in nation building. In a unique collaboration, the book brings together recognized authorities who have worked in Chiapas for decades, many linking scholarship with social and political activism. Their combined perspectives, many previously unavailable in English, make this volume the most authoritative, richly detailed, and authentic work available on the people behind the Zapatista movement.
