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: In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book interrogates what impacts, if any, this global protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States, Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this collection is essential reading for all those interested in the power of protest to shape our world.

Описание: From asthma to Crohn s disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that s because it has to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five and likely more Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune system malfunction. Why? One possibility is that we have systematically cleaned ourselves to illness; this belief challenges deeply entrenched notions about the value of societal hygiene and the harmful nature of microbes. Yet scientists investigating the rampant immune dysfunction in the developed world have inevitably arrived at this conclusion. To address this global epidemic of absence, they must restore the human ecosystem. This groundbreaking book explores the promising but controversial worm therapy deliberate infection with parasitic worms in development to treat autoimmune disease. It explains why farmers children so rarely get hay fever, why allergy is less prevalent in former Eastern Bloc countries, and how one cancer-causing bacterium may be good for us. It probes the link between autism and a dysfunctional immune system. It investigates the newly apparent fetal origins of allergic disease that a mother s inflammatory response imprints on her unborn child, tipping the scales toward allergy. "An Epidemic of Absence" is a brilliant, cutting-edge exploration of the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune diseases and the controversial, potentially groundbreaking therapies that scientists are developing to correct these disorders."

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.
