Book Description
After two centuries of nation-building, the world has entered an era of region-building in search of political stability, cultural cohesion, and socio-economic development. Nations involved in the regional structures and integration schemes that are emerging in most regions of the world are deepening their ambitions, with Europe’s integration experience often used as an experimental template or theoretical model. Volume I provides a political-analytical framework for recognizing the central role of the European Union not only as a conceptual model but also a normative engine in the global proliferation of regional integration. It also gives a comprehensive treatment of the focus, motives, and objectives of non-European integration efforts. Volume II offers a unique collection of documents that give the best available overview of the legal and political evolution of region-building based on official documents and stated objectives of the relevant regional groupings across all continents. Together, these volumes are important contributions for understanding the evolution of global affairs in an age when power shifts provide new challenges and opportunities for transatlantic partners and the world community.

Book Description
Cuando, en diciembre de 2002, el Consejo Europeo de Laeken lanzó el proceso que culminó en la firma del Tratado que establece una Constitución para Europa, fijó como uno de sus tres objetivos principales la reforma de todo el sistema de relaciones exteriores de la Unión. Se reconocían así sus insuficiencias. No debe extrañar, pues, que el diagnóstico presentado en este libro sobre el estado actual de las relaciones Unión Europea América Latina sea crítico: ¿cómo pueden dejar de proyectarse sobre un ámbito geográfico específico, que además no constituye la primera de las prioridades para la Unión, esas insuficiencias? La pretensión de los autores es que su diagnóstico sea correcto y abra nuevas perspectivas para conseguir en el futuro lo que no se ha sido capaz de alcanzar en el pasado. Esta es la función principal del Observatorio de las relaciones Unión Europea América Latina (OBREAL) promovido por la Comisión Europea e integrado por 23 instituciones de los dos lados del Atlántico. Este libro es su primera contribución pública.

Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book Description
“This collection, because of its exceptional theoretical coherence and sophistication, is qualitatively superior to the most frequently consulted anthologies on Latin American women’s history and literature . . . [and] represents a new, more theoretically rigorous stage in the feminist debate on Latin American women.”—Elizabeth Garrels, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Book Description
Vacant urban land--the product of land market activity, the actions of private agents, and the policies of public agents--is an important challenge for policy makers. Vacant lots on the urban fringe and in central and interstitial areas have affected growth patterns in Latin America. Contributors to this book analyze the problems and opportunities related to vacant urban land in five cities: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Quito, Ecuador; Lima, Perú; and San Salvador, El Salvador.

Book Description
Después de tres décadas de relaciones, América Latina y la Unión Europea han decidido fraguar una “asociación estratégica” para promover la democracia, la cohesión social y el desarrollo económico. Sin embargo, las relaciones se han estancado debido a que ambas regiones se ven afectadas por los cambios que ha inducido el 11-S en la agenda internacional, y están inmersas en procesos de revisión de sus modelos de integración. América Latina parece perder peso como socio de una UE que afronta las exigencias de la ampliación y la política de vecindad, la crisis constitucional y las dificultades para mantener el “modelo” económico y social europeo. Latinoamérica atraviesa un período de cambios políticos y económicos, de crisis de sus organizaciones de integración, aparecen nuevos liderazgos, y se debate entre la vinculación más estrecha con Estados Unidos, o el nuevo proyecto de la Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones (CSN). En este escenario, ¿qué papel puede cumplir la relación birregional entre la Unión Europea y Latinoamérica? ¿Son válidas las estrategias trazadas hace años? Este libro trata de responder a estas preguntas a partir de reflexiones y propuestas de más de veinte analistas de ambas regiones, que examinan el estado de esas relaciones considerando las percepciones y expectativas de los actores involucrados, tanto oficiales como de la sociedad civil. A partir de ello, este libro identifica las limitaciones y obstáculos de la relación euro-latinoamericana, pero también propone una estrategia ambiciosa y al mismo tiempo pragmática, para que la “asociación estratégica” reciba un nuevo impulso y haga una contribución relevante a las metas comunes de democracia, vigencia de los derechos humanos, lucha contra la pobreza, y paz y seguridad internacional que comparten ambas regiones.

Book Description
La Unión Europea ha sido percibida en Latinoamérica como un aliado estratégico para lograr una mayor diversificación de sus relaciones exteriores y comerciales e incluso como modelo de integración, particularmente en el Cono Sur. Los ensayos contenidos en este libro permiten complementar y contrastar los variados enfoques sobre las relaciones birregionales, a partir del análisis de los procesos de cooperación en diversos ámbitos y países como México, Centroamérica y la Comunidad Andina. A fin de fortalecer estos procesos, se proponen alternativas que van desde centrar las relaciones en temas de comercio y cooperación económica; la inclusión de la cohesión social como eje rector de las relaciones birregionales, o bien, profundizar la cooperación política, la justicia económica y social, a fin de mejorar tanto los procesos de integración como el interregionalismo.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
