Although Latin America weathered the Great Depression better than the United States and Europe, the global economic collapse of the 1930s had a deep and lasting impact on the region.

The Independence of Spanish America
ISBN: 9780521626736 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book provides a new interpretation of the process of Spanish American independence (1808-1826); one that emphasizes political processes and cultural continuities, instead of the break with Spain. It is the first book to examine the representative government and popular elections introduced by the Spanish Constitution of 1812. Rodriguez O. argues that independence did not constitute an anticolonial movement, as many scholars assert, but rather formed part of the broader Spanish political revolution. In America, supporters of the government in Spain struggled with local juntas for...

Native Society and Disease in Colonial Ecuador
ISBN: 9780521529457 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines the relationship between indigenous populations in the north-central highlands of Ecuador and disease, especially those infections introduced by Europeans during the sixteenth century. Disease, of course, existed in the Americas long before 1500. But just as native societies resisted and eventually adapted to European conquest, so too did they adapt to Old World pathogens. Just as the responses of Indian communities to the economic and political demands of Spaniards varied over time, so too did the immunological responses of indigenous populations change over generations....

Britain and the Onset of Modernization in Brazil 1850-1914
ISBN: 9780521096812 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a detailed study of British influence in Brazil as a theme within the larger story of modernization. The British were involved at key points in the initial stages of modernization. Their hold upon the import export economy tended to slow down industrialization, and there were other areas in which their presence acted as a brake upon Brazilian modernization. But the British also fostered change. British railways provided primary stimulus to the growth of coffee exports, and since the British did not monopolize coffee production, a large proportion of the profits remained in Brazilian...

Businesses that thrive in the 21st century will be those that are smart about engagement. These businesses are the best at adapting to changing societal concerns, expectations, risks and opportunities and they know how to generate sustainable outcomes.
