Описание: Mark Zuckerberg`s inaugural pick for his "Year of Books" challenge, The End of Power updates the very notion of power for the 21st century. Power, we know, is shifting: From West to East and North to South, from presidential palaces to public squares, from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and, slowly but surely, from men to women. But power is not merely dispersing it is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before.In The End of Power , award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moises Naim illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research, Naim shows how the antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Naim deftly covers the seismic changes underway in business, religion, education, within families, and in all matters of war and peace. Examples abound in all walks of life: In 1977, eighty-nine countries were ruled by autocrats while today more than half the world`s population lives in democracies. CEO`s are more constrained and have shorter tenures than their predecessors. Modern tools of war, cheaper and more accessible, make it possible for groups like Hezbollah to afford their own drones. In the second half of 2010, the top ten hedge funds earned more than the world`s largest six banks combined. Those in power retain it by erecting powerful barriers to keep challengers at bay. Today, insurgent forces dismantle those barriers more quickly and easily than ever, only to find that they themselves become vulnerable in the process. In this accessible and captivating book, Naim offers a revolutionary look at the inevitable end of power,and shows how it will change your world.

Описание: Una serie de brutales asesinatos cometidos sobre mujeres, ponen en jaque a todo el departamento de policнa de Ciudad de Mйxico. El asesino, un hombre perturbado, pero a la vez inteligente y hбbil en extremo, quiere poner en prбctica los experimentos desarrollados por los mйdicos nazis durante la II Guerra Mundial con un solo fin: DEVOLVERLE LA VIDA A LA MUJER QUE OCUPA SU MENTE, pero realmente sin saber si lo que siente por ella es amor, o un odio descomunal, es un metуdico cazador que no pararб hasta ver completada su obra compuesta por diferentes piezas que conforman un todo. Dos policнas son asignados al caso, Gabriel Salazar y Polo Guzmбn, quienes a pesar de ser fieles compaсeros y grandes amigos, son distintos en todo, pues uno es un amoroso esposo, y el otro, un sбdico drogadicto que disfruta de visitar a Sasha, una experimentada prostituta. Alina, una creaciуn de la desequilibrada mente del asesino, lo tortura y seduce todas las noches, mientras le recita poemas y canta sugestivas melodнas, exhortбndolo a seguir despedazando gente para que ella puede regresar a la vida. Como buena trama, el escritor nos lleva a un final tenso y a contrarreloj, donde la lucha del poder polнtico toma cartas en el asunto y se exponen de manera cruda los actuales intereses econуmicos y la corrupciуn que todo lo salpica.

Описание: Natural resource extraction has fueled protest movements in Latin America and existing research has drawn considerable scholarly attention to the politics of antimarket contention at the national level, particularly in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina. Despite its residents reporting the third-highest level of protest participation in the region, Peru has been largely ignored in these discussions.In this groundbreaking study, Moisés Arce exposes a long-standing climate of popular contention in Peru. Looking beneath the surface to the subnational, regional, and local level as inception points, he rigorously dissects the political conditions that set the stage for protest. Focusing on natural resource extraction and its key role in the political economy of Peru and other developing countries, Arce reveals a wide disparity in the incidence, forms, and consequences of collective action.Through empirical analysis of protest events over thirty-one years, extensive personal interviews with policymakers and societal actors, and individual case studies of major protest episodes, Arce follows the ebb and flow of Peruvian protests over time and space to show the territorial unevenness of democracy, resource extraction, and antimarket contentions. Employing political process theory, Arce builds an interactive framework that views the moderating role of democracy, the quality of institutional representation as embodied in political parties, and most critically, the level of political party competition as determinants in the variation of protest and subsequent government response. Overall, he finds that both the fluidity and fragmentation of political parties at the subnational level impair the mechanisms of accountability and responsiveness often attributed to party competition. Thus, as political fragmentation increases, political opportunities expand, and contention rises. These dynamics in turn shape the long-term development of the state.Resource Extraction and Protest in Peru will inform students and scholars of globalization, market transitions, political science, contentious politics and Latin America generally, as a comparative analysis relating natural resource extraction to democratic processes both regionally and internationally.

Описание: El contrato c vico es un ensayo mediante el cual el autor repasa los principales problemas que afectan a la evoluci n social del ser humano. La sobrepoblaci n mundial, la injusticia, la perdida de valores o el cada vez mayor distanciamiento entre pa ses pobres y ricos son tratados con rigurosa claridad y analizados desde la m s simple de las perspectivas. En El Contrato C vico, adem s, el autor identifica claramente a los principales actores de esta obra que es el teatro de la vida, as como sus errores y por supuesto nos da, las que a su juicio, son las soluciones que nos permitan vivir como lo que somos, seres humanos racionales, con derechos y obligaciones, con independencia de donde hayamos nacido. Nos enfrentamos a hechos extremadamente simples y aceptados por la inmensa mayor a de la humanidad, pero al mismo tiempo no actuamos y permanecemos indolentes a la espera de que las peores p ginas de la historia vuelvan a ser escritas.
