Corruption in Cuba : Castro and Beyond
ISBN: 9780292714823 / Angielski / Miękka / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded--by a new government. Among the many questions to be answered is how the new government will deal with the corruption that has become endemic in Cuba. Even though combating corruption cannot be the central aim of post-Castro policy, Sergio Diaz-Briquets and Jorge Perez-Lopez suggest that, without a strong plan to thwart it, corruption will undermine the new economy, erode support for...

The Making of the Mexican Border : The State, Capitalism, and Society in Nuevo Leon, 1848-1910
ISBN: 9780292752559 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The issues that dominate U.S.-Mexico border relations today--integration of economies, policing of boundaries, and the flow of workers from south to north and of capital from north to south--are not recent developments. In this insightful history of the state of Nuevo Leon, Juan Mora-Torres explores how these processes transformed northern Mexico into a region with distinct economic, political, social, and cultural features that set it apart from the interior of Mexico. Mora-Torres argues that the years between the establishment of the U.S.-Mexico boundary in 1848 and the outbreak of...

Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America
ISBN: 9781107145948 / Angielski / Twarda / 574 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nearly four decades since the onset of the third wave, political parties remain weak in Latin America: parties have collapsed in much of the region, and most new party-building efforts have failed. Why do some new parties succeed while most fail? This book challenges the widespread belief that democracy and elections naturally give rise to strong parties and argues that successful party-building is more likely to occur under conditions of intense conflict than under routine democracy. Periods of revolution, civil war, populist mobilization, or authoritarian repression crystallize partisan...

So how did this dramatic and unexpected expansion of gay rights come about?
