Resumen del Libro

Libro Latin American Traditional Parties, 1978-2006. Electoral Trajectories and Internal Party Politics

Parties are the major actors of political representation in democracies. They have been acknowledged repeatedly as the critical link between voters, representatives and guarantors of democratic governance. Without them, a democracy can hardly be said to exist because they are the principal links between government and society. However, parties can lose their representative capacity, and be challenged by disaffected electorates that pursue other alternatives for political involvement. This book focuses upon the electoral weakening of Latin America's traditional parties. These parties dominated the political arena in the region during the last decades of the twentieth century. They played a significant role in the legitimation of democratic politics in particular when countries transited from authoritarian regimes in the late 1950s (Colombia and Venezuela) and later on, in the late 1970s (e.g., Ecuador) and 1980s (e.g., Argentina, Uruguay, Chile). Latin American traditional parties structured post-authoritarian political and party systems; they defined the rules of the democratic game (i.e., electoral systems); they became consolidated as the principal agents of political representation and were the main actors in policy-making processes. However, by the beginning of the 21st century (2000-2005) many of them faded, and political outsiders with antiestablishment discourses as well as new parties and political movements flourished.

Integrated Water Resources Management as a Governance Challenge for Countries of the Middle East with Special Focus on Yemen, Jordan and Syria

Libro Integrated Water Resources Management as a Governance Challenge for Countries of the Middle East with Special Focus on Yemen, Jordan and Syria

The need for an integrated management of water resources has derived from the emerging understanding that the water crisis cannot solely be regarded as a hydrological crisis. Instead, it is frequently defined as a crisis of governance, as institutional and management scarcity are hindering a sustainable, equitable and efficient use of water resources. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is internationally accepted as a toolbox to achieve these objectives. However, implementation of the IWRM-approach is still lacking, especially in developing countries and transitional economies. This ...

El hereje

Libro El hereje

El hereje. Apuntes sobre John William Cooke es un profundo análisis crítico del pensamiento del organizador de la resistencia peronista, al que Perón nombró su heredero. Mazzeo lo define como hereje (al corpus peronista). El trabajo recorre su actividad política: el diputado, la revista De Frente, el golpe del 1955, la organización desde la carcel de la resistencia popular, el nombramiento por Perón como su heredero (un ejercicio "imposible"), Cuba y la vuelta al país. Miguel Mazzeo realiza un análisis excepcional, sin concesiones al "sentido común" de peronistas y antiperonistas.
