Gemeinsam Kirche sein | Being Church Together
50 Jahre nach der Abfassung der Leuenberger Konkordie zeigt sich, wie sich die aus ihr hervorgegangene Kirchengemeinschaft entwickelt hat. Doch der Ansatz der Konkordie birgt noch manche Potentiale, die es zu entdecken gilt. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Beiträge, die bei der Konferenz "Gemeinsam Kirche sein" zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum der Leuenberger Konkordie 2023 an der Reformierten Theologischen Universität von Debrecen, Ungarn, gehalten wurden. 50 years after the Leuenberg Agreement was formulated, we can see how the church communion that emerged from it has developed.

Sign, Method and the Sacred
To what extent can semiotics illuminate key problems in religious studies, given the centrality of symbols, language, and other modes of signification in religion and theology? The volume explores semiotic methodologies for the study of religion, with an emphasis on their critical and creative reconfigurations. The contributors come from different specialties, such as cognitive science, ethnography, linguistics, communication studies, art studies, religious studies, philosophy of religion, and theology. Part One consists of chapters focusing on theoretical perspectives. Part two focuses on applications in texts and case studies while still considering methodological issues. Many specific tra...
Unequal Partners
Since Mexico's defeat in the Mexican-American War of the 1840s, the United States has dominated Mexico economically, militarily, and politically. This long history of asymmetry has created a Mexican distaste for "American arrogance" and an American vision of Mexico as its "backyard," and has damaged political negotiations, trade pacts, and capital flows, as suspicions and protectionism have undermined diplomacy. Despite this, the two nations remain joined at the hip: more than 80 percent of Mexico's exports are to the United States, and the majority of foreign investment in Mexico comes from America.In Unequal Partners, Sidney Weintraub examines the current relationship of Mexico and the Uni...
La gran teranyina
Amb un enfocament crític i de gran angular, Roger Vinton estira els fils adequats per descosir les versions oficials i posar al descobert els orígens i els moviments d'alguns dels lobbys empresarials i familiars amb més poder del nostre país. El Barça, La Caixa, les companyies asseguradores, els magnats del ciment, el món del motor o la indústria farmacèutica, entre d'altres, són objecte de la seva investigació, mitjançant la qual estableix una relació directa i dinàmica entre l'anècdota i els fets amb la voluntat de revelar els mecanismes del poder que ens governa, però, sobretot, amb la intenció explícita de reconnectar el discurs mediàtic amb la realitat. La gran teranyi...
Oligarcas
Los oligarcas no son solo cosa de los malvados rusos. En España, controlan los resortes del poder y en ocasiones tapan sus miserias bajo falsa apariencia de filantropía. Grandes constructoras, familias de alta alcurnia, fortunas surgidas a la vera del franquismo, «hombres hechos a sí mismos»… conforman un poderoso grupo que copa contratos públicos, recibe ayudas estatales, controla cadenas de distribución, monopoliza ámbitos enteros de la economía, se codea y apoya a la realeza, gusta de paraísos fiscales… e incluso llega a decidir sobre medios y periodistas que se atrevan a mostrarse críticos. Algunos optan por la discreción; otros, sin embargo, tienen una gran proyección p...
The State and Security in Mexico

Women, Gender, and Constitutionalism in Latin America
This book discusses to what extent and how constitutional design and practice in Latin America have helped in combatting the subordination of women and LGBTQIA+ people. Covering 11 jurisdictions, the chapters identify the main elements of the constitutional gender order and survey jurisprudential and legislative developments in different areas, incorporating contextual analysis and references to history, political dynamics, social movements, feminist struggles, normative efficacy, and policy. In the context of a constitutionalism that has been celebrated as particularly innovative and socially engaged, the book assesses constitutional performance in the quest to supersede the separate gender...
