Book Description
Las consecuencias del coronavirus son de distinto orden. En este libro se consideran algunas de las que afectan el orden mundial, el cual tendrá diversos impactos en la pospandemia. La pandemia de covid-19 no ha sido la primera ni tampoco será la última, en un mundo en el que la humanidad no ha sabido guardar la debida relación con la naturaleza y con el planeta. Se ha reaccionado con interpretaciones variadas sobre el coronavirus, algunas racionales y otras disparatadas que incorporan teorías lineales y hasta conspirativas. Hay visiones que invitan a pensar en el futuro en derivas autoritarias innecesarias frente a las del respeto de las libertades individuales democráticas, en un clima de generalización de sistemas de vigilancia y de tecnologías digitales de control lideradas por China, pero utilizadas también por algunos Gobiernos en Occidente. El comportamiento chino se ofrece como modelo para el mundo, lo cual plantea disyuntivas para países latinoamericanos de alineamientos diferentes frente al nuevo poder y el alineamiento tradicional con Estados Unidos. Este entorno ofrece la posibilidad de pensar en un régimen político mundial fundamentado en experiencias maquiavelianas, pero sin descuidar el trasfondo político de un terrorismo siempre activo y vigente y de los fuertes cambios en el entorno geoeconómico con el acortamiento de las cadenas globales de valor en su espacialidad transcontinental.

Author: Diana Alexandra González Chacón
Publisher: Fondo Editorial – Ediciones Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia
ISBN: 9587603400
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Este libro tiene el objetivo de analizar las alternativas de política pública necesarias para la preservación de la salud de la población, la reactivación de la economía y la definición de un marco institucional que facilite las relaciones entre individuos en un contexto pospandémico, mediante un enfoque multidimensional. En ese sentido, se analizan los antecedentes de las pandemias de carácter universal, el rol de las organizaciones internacionales, el papel de los bienes públicos globales, los modelos de gobernanza global desde un contexto glocal, las tendencias en investigación acerca de pandemias y sostenibilidad, los nuevos retos del Estado, el financiamiento de las pequeñas y medianas empresas, los incentivos fiscales a la innovación en inteligencia artificial y la utilidad de los modelos matemáticos para la toma de decisiones de política pública. De esta manera, se presenta un análisis ordenado de los retos que enfrenta la sociedad en la actualidad, con su explicación y atención mediante alternativas de acción pública. Por lo tanto, es una guía sobre el rol y la capacidad que deben desarrollar coordinadamente los funcionarios nacionales, junto a las organizaciones internacionales, para influir la definición de políticas que reorganicen el equilibrio mundial.

The World Under the Domination of the Power Elites
Author: Abbas Akbar
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This book tells the story of several characters who, from 1773, established a project in a house in Frankfurt on the "Judenstrasse" to pave the way for a World Government.However, the people mentioned in this book have absolutely nothing to do with any dogma and don't belong to any nation. They are neither left nor liberal, but they use all institutions to pursue their aims.Indeed, they are not part of any organization, but they often use strategies to hide possible research and create confusion and consequently steer people to a false path. To get to their objectives, these people use Christians, Jews, Communists, Fascists, Zionists, Mormons, Atheists, poor or rich, of all!According to the experts, the people mentioned above are called the "Illuminati" (the enlightened, the ones who know), Big Brother, the invisible government, the gray men, the shadow government, the secret government. The Illuminati's actions in the world date back about 3,000 years before Christ when they infiltrated the "Snake Brotherhood" in Mesopotamia. After 3,000 years, it was succeeded by other groups, such as Jews, Christians, Freemasons, or other religious communities.What started in the past, continues to work on the same terms, so we just have to look at the current situation to see where the problem is. The Illuminati control everything in Europe, the United States, and most of the world. Their secret war against humanity is designed to make us accept their tyranny, in other words, a "World Government."As media owners, they begin and determine their outcome. Moreover, they are responsible for the depressions, and the war against terrorism is a pretext for promoting more conflicts. The Illuminati govern through their control of large companies (agreements between cartels, finance, oil, defense, pharmaceuticals, media, etc.), as well as governments, secret societies, intelligence agencies, armies, judiciary, churches, foundations, think tanks, NGOs and the education system. The Chatham House in London and the New York-based "Pratt House" are two main control mechanisms. The power of the Illuminati is ubiquitous, but the masses do not even know their existence.Fritz Springmeier, one of the pioneering investigators, describes the Illuminati's activities as follows: "The Illuminati are the most influential people in the world. They are an elite group - I call them tribes or families - there are 13 main lineages. They lead a double life. They have a life that the world sees and then they have a hidden life that the world doesn't see. There have been very few people who have been able to decipher their secrets. The first 13 lines are the Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Reynolds, Krupp, Russell... the thirteenth lineage concern the Merovingians . I just call it the thirteenth, and then there's the Illuminati Van Duyn lineage. Lineage 13, is extremely important, as it includes the royal families of Europe."A former Illuminati named John Todd says: "the Illuminati spend a lot of money to corrupt people, especially evangelists and Christian preachers: A lot of what you see in churches, thinking this is liberalism is just an illusion. It's difficult for a ministry to reject half a million dollars and they can get even higher amounts. One church got eight million dollars in two years, and another, ten million dollars in a year!"An example of the actions of these gray men: During the American Civil War (1861-1865) northern states (opposed to slavery) fought the southern states (favorable to the maintenance of slavery). Before the war, the Rothschild family sent agents to support the position of Union between the northern states, and at the same time, other Rothschild agents provoked an attitude against the Union among the southern states. When the war broke out, London's Rothschild Bank financed the northern states and southern states.

Global Political Economy
Author: Robert G. Gilpin
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 140083127X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This book is the eagerly awaited successor to Robert Gilpin's 1987 The Political Economy of International Relations, the classic statement of the field of international political economy that continues to command the attention of students, researchers, and policymakers. The world economy and political system have changed dramatically since the 1987 book was published. The end of the Cold War has unleashed new economic and political forces, and new regionalisms have emerged. Computing power is increasingly an impetus to the world economy, and technological developments have changed and are changing almost every aspect of contemporary economic affairs. Gilpin's Global Political Economy considers each of these developments. Reflecting a lifetime of scholarship, it offers a masterful survey of the approaches that have been used to understand international economic relations and the problems faced in the new economy. Gilpin focuses on the powerful economic, political, and technological forces that have transformed the world. He gives particular attention to economic globalization, its real and alleged implications for economic affairs, and the degree to which its nature, extent, and significance have been exaggerated and misunderstood. Moreover, he demonstrates that national policies and domestic economies remain the most critical determinants of economic affairs. The book also stresses the importance of economic regionalism, multinational corporations, and financial upheavals. Gilpin integrates economic and political analysis in his discussion of "global political economy." He employs the conventional theory of international trade, insights from the theory of industrial organization, and endogenous growth theory. In addition, ideas from political science, history, and other disciplines are employed to enrich understanding of the new international economic order. This wide-ranging book is destined to become a landmark in the field.

Social Policy Expansion in Latin America
Author: Candelaria Garay
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108107974
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Throughout the twentieth century, much of the population in Latin America lacked access to social protection. Since the 1990s, however, social policy for millions of outsiders - rural, informal, and unemployed workers and dependents - has been expanded dramatically. Social Policy Expansion in Latin America shows that the critical factors driving expansion are electoral competition for the vote of outsiders and social mobilization for policy change. The balance of partisan power and the involvement of social movements in policy design explain cross-national variation in policy models, in terms of benefit levels, coverage, and civil society participation in implementation. The book draws on in-depth case studies of policy making in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico over several administrations and across three policy areas: health care, pensions, and income support. Secondary case studies illustrate how the theory applies to other developing countries.

Nobility of Spirit
Author: Rob Riemen
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300136900
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
"Riemen insists that if we hope to move beyond the war on terror and create a life-affirming culture, we must address timeless but neglected questions: What is a good society? Why art? Why culture? What is the responsibility of intellectuals? Why anti-Americanism? Why nihilism? Why the cult of death of fundamentalists? In a series of three essays, the author identifies nobility of spirit in the life and work of Baruch Spinoza and of Thomas Mann; explores the quest for the good society in our own time; and addresses the pursuit of truth and freedom that engaged figures as disparate as Socrates and Leone Ginzburg, a Jewish Italian intellectual murdered by Nazis."--BOOK JACKET.

Envisioning the World: Mapping and Making the Global
Author: Sandra Holtgreve
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839455294
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The »global« is permanently made and remade by how it is envisioned in political projects, in language, and in literature. Through a range of case studies, this book shows how practices of referring to the world actually constitute the global in its many facets. It aims to provide a sense in readers of how the global is not something »out there«, but that it is embedded in a wide range of the seemingly »everyday«. The contributions appeal to a readership from a background in Sociology, History, Political Science, Literary Studies, and Social Work.

Anthropocene Geopolitics
Author: Simon Dalby
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 0776631187
Category : Social Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 314
Book Description
We now find ourselves in a new geological age: the Anthropocene. The climate is changing and species are disappearing at a rate not seen since Earth’s major extinctions. The rapid, large-scale changes caused by fossil-fuel powered globalization increasingly threaten societies in new, unforeseen ways. But most security policies continue to be built on notions that look backward to a time when geopolitical threats derived mainly from the rivalries of states with fixed boundaries. Instead, Anthropocene Geopolitics shows that security policy must look forward to quickly shape a sustainable world no longer dependent on fossil fuels. A future of long-term peace and geopolitical security depends on keeping the earth in conditions roughly similar to those we have known throughout history. Minimizing disruptions that would further put civilization at risk of extinction urgently requires policies that reflect new Anthropocene “planetary boundaries.” This book is published in English. - Depuis la fin de la dernière période glaciaire, l’humanité a transformé sa niche écologique, modifié sa position dans l’écosystème, provoqué des changements climatiques radicaux et affecté la diversité des espèces aux quatre coins du monde, ce qui a entraîné l’apparition d’une nouvelle époque géologique, l’Anthropocène. À l’échelle planétaire, les activités humaines exercent un impact direct sur les frontières qu’elles transforment durablement alors que ces mêmes frontières ont constitué le cadre naturel dans lequel l’humanité a pu prospérer durant les dix derniers millénaires. Les changements rapides qui affectent notre système terrestre remettent directement en cause les anciennes hypothèses qui considéraient des frontières stables comme le principal fondement de la souveraineté. Aujourd’hui, ces postulats périmés doivent impérativement être réévalués. Paradoxalement, la phase de mondialisation actuelle nécessite une redéfinition de la notion même de frontières stables. En effet, l’élargissement des droits de propriété et des champs de compétence pourrait en fait prévenir la mise en œuvre de mesures d’adaptation efficaces visant à répondre aux enjeux du changement climatique. Garantir la survie d’une économie fondée sur la consommation de combustibles fossiles demeure à ce jour une priorité politique comme le fait de devoir faire face aux catastrophes naturelles à l’échelle mondiale – ce qui rend les objectifs de durabilité d’autant plus difficiles à atteindre dans un environnement en pleine mutation où les rivalités politiques exacerbées façonnent la politique globale contemporaine. L’entrée de la Terre dans une nouvelle époque géologique, l’Anthropocène (l’ère de l’homme), représente un formidable défi éthique, qu’il convient de relever en établissant une véritable politique de durabilité, et ce, au moment où l’humanité s’engage dans la dernière phase du processus de mondialisation. Dans un tel contexte, pour être réellement efficaces, les connaissances et les perspectives résultant des analyses académiques et des initiatives pratiques de toute nature devront être intégrées dans une vision globale.
