Histories of Solitude
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the last two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...

Finding Solutions for a Post-Crisis Society
Since 2007 and the economic meltdown caused by the financial crisis, our societies have been evolving in different ways. New political movements have emerged in Southern Europe and new social movements in pursuit of common concerns are playing a more active role in our daily lives. In a parallel way, after the failure to predict the financial crisis, economist and social science researchers seek fresh thinking and new models that can better explain this new reality. Regulations are of critical importance in shaping the welfare of economies and society. Thus, core legal disciplines are exploring the effects of the financial crisis on social rights, labour market regulations, and civil, common...
Totto
La tradición investigativa del CESA tiene como objetivo misional abordar la realidad colombiana desde una perspectiva académica. El CESA ha desarrollado una metodología propia para construcción de casos académicos a través de una propuesta diferenciadora al ofrecer una herramienta pedagógica que basada e incluida en los métodos interactivos de aprendizaje, tiene la particularidad de trabajar con situaciones reales y actuales, permitiendo al participante sumergirse en la realidad organizacional y social, analizándola, comprendiéndola y aplicándole los conceptos teóricos aprendidos o a aprender. Por esta razón, la inclusión de estudios de casos de empresas colombianas como estrategia pedagógica tiene como finalidad desarrollar competencias en pensamiento crítico y aprendizaje reflexivo en nuestros estudiantes. En este sentido, un caso que cobró interés académico para el CESA fue la empresa Nalsani S.A. con su marca reconocida TOTTO. La promesa de valor de la marca TOTTO se sustenta en el significado que tiene el pensamiento estratégico de sus líderes en la creación de productos extraordinarios a través de la anticipación de las necesidades de sus clientes.
The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.
Branding Latin America
As public and private sectors become stakeholders, nation-states become corporations, interests become strategic objectives, and identities become brands, branding emerges as a key feature of the pervasiveness of market logic in today’s world. Branding Latin America: Strategies, Aims, Resistance offers a sustained critical analysis of these transformations, which see identities deliberately (re)defined according to the principle of competition and strategically (re)oriented towards the market. Through context-sensitive case studies that foreground a specific, under examined set of practices and concepts, this volume draws particular attention not only to the reconfigurations of citizenship, identity, and culture according to an insidious logic of market competitiveness, but also to the ways in which different actors resist, survive, and even thrive in such a context. In so doing, it illuminates the ambivalent relationships between the local, national, and global; the individual and collective; the public and private; and the economic, political, and cultural landscapes that characterize contemporary Latin America and the wider world.
Football and Nation Building in Colombia (2010-2018)
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. This book explores the pivotal role that football played as part of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos’ national unity project centred on the peace process with the FARC. Football has huge political and social capital in Latin America, and has often been rhetorically deployed by governments for various ends; rarely, however, has football’s power and potential been used in such a deliberate, strategic and active way towards a national peace process and targeted such enduring divisions that have historically impeded a sen...
