Resumen del Libro

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 study poses the central question of what kind of governance is necessary to achieve an integrated management of water resources. Evaluating the concept from a regional perspective, three case studies have been conducted in Yemen, Jordan and Syria to identify the main governance challenges during the IWRM-process and develop strategies on how to meet them, aiming to improve the practical applicability of the theoretical framework of IWRM in the Middle East.

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 ...

1925

Libro 1925

Este libro parte de la base de que es preciso reemplazar la constitución de 1980 por su origen radical y su arrasamiento de los textos anteriores, algo que es evidente y de amplio consenso, instalando una discusión relacionada a la memoria política y a la hipótesis de la existencia de una cultura chilena de transformaciones graduales. Desde ahí la Constitución de 1925 emergería como un acervo social que emblematiza la tradición institucional rota en 1973 y que, como todo patrimonio, está sujeto a relecturas y re-interpretaciones, pero dentro de una trama que la comunidad va bordando...
