Book Description
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999.

Seguridad pública y gobernabilidad democrática

El rey desnudo
Author: Jaume Curbet
Publisher: Editorial UOC
ISBN: 8497888413
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 173
Book Description
La inseguridad ciudadana ha cambiado, irremediablemente, nuestras vidas. Nunca antes se había producido una conjunción tan inquietante entre unos niveles elevados y sostenidos de delincuencia y la cronificación social de un miedo difuso al delito. Resulta llamativo, sin embargo, el contraste entre el abundante ruido (pocos temas reciben tanta atención) y la escasa reflexión que suscita el fenómeno contemporáneo de la inseguridad ciudadana. Se trata, pues, ver con absoluta nitidez la necesidad de basar las políticas públicas de seguridad en un diagnóstico ajustado de los problemas específicos que se pretende solucionar.

Sustaining Civil Society
Author: Philip Oxhorn
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271056614
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
“South America is not the poorest continent in the world, but it may very well be the most unjust.” This statement by Ricardo Lagos, then president of Chile, at the Summit of the Americas in January 2004 captures nicely the dilemma that faces Latin American countries in the wake of the transition to democracy that swept across the continent in the last two decades of the twentieth century. While political rights are now available to citizens at unprecedented levels, social and economic rights lag far behind, and the fledgling democracies struggle with long legacies of poverty, inequality, and corruption. Key to understanding what is happening in Latin America today is the relationship between the state and civil society. In this ambitious book, Philip Oxhorn sets forth a theory of civil society adequate for explaining current developments in a way that such controversial neoconservative theories as Francis Fukuyama’s liberal triumphalism or Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” cannot. Inspired by the rich political sociology of an earlier era and the classic work of T. H. Marshall on citizenship, Oxhorn studies the process by which social groups are incorporated, or not, into national socioeconomic and political development through an approach that focuses on the “social construction of citizenship.”
