Book Description
How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions', seen today as necessary for economic development. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing countries from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used.

Book Description
On many fronts, European Union development policy is at a critical juncture: in the face of new obstacles, the EU has been forced to rethink trade, security, and its relationship with neighbors in North Africa and the Middle East. Contentious questions have centered on the effects of EU expansion, agricultural protectionism, and development-friendly trade policy in the EU and its member nations. To answer these questions and others, this expertly edited volume draws on analysis from well-known specialists in fields such as public policy and economic development, providing a critical overview of EU development policy and the challenges it must confront in an increasingly volatile and changing world.

Book Description
This study explores the meaning and importance of flamenco in the works of two of the most important and influential figures in 20th-century Spanish culture, the poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca and the film-maker Carlos Saura. Lorca and Saura shared a fascination for flamenco as a medium for the existential ideology of the marginalized and disenfranchised and this work evaluates the development of these themes through a close, contextual study of their works, which are linked explicitly by Saura's film adaptation of Lorca's Bodas de sangre and, more profoundly, by their use of flamenco to express ideas of sexual and political marginalization in pre- and post- Francoist Spain respectively. The study demonstrates that an understanding of the symbolism, visual style, characters, themes and performance system of flamenco is key to a greater understanding of the social, sexual, political and existential themes in the works of Lorca and Saura.

Book Description
En principio la narrativa se produce con la sencillez del cotidiano vivir. Sin asperezas, lisa y llanamente, como el ro de mansas aguas que se preparan para cambiar el curso, convirtiendo el suave deslizar en violenta torrentera. Los pueblos de Espaa, desquiciados se lanzan y envuelven en una guerra fratricida, las ciudades, campos y aldeas se desbordan, la sangre salpica las familias sin distincin de bando o creencia. Como hongos brotan los CAMPOS DE CONCENTRACIN, LOS BATALLONES DE TRABAJO FORZADO, el peregrinar por las CRCELES de reclusos para finalmente, llegar al pi del PAREDN, calificado con la expresiva palabra ?SACA?. Este es el contenido de gran parte del libro que te dispones a leer. Es el relato verdico del protagonista principal de la obra, con el deseo, amigo lector, de que evites la repeticin del drama, que arras nuestra Patria.
