The Obstacles to the New International Economic Order

Pergamon Policy Studies on The New International Economic Order

By: Ervin Laszlo,Jorge Lozoya,A.K. Bhattacharya

The Obstacles to the New International Economic Order examines the most critical human, social, and economic obstacles confronting the establishment of the New International Economic Order (NIEO). One such obstacle is the structure of the international monetary system and the problems it creates for achieving the development financing objectives of the NIEO through such factors as the dollar dependence of the world economy, coupled with liquidity excess in the principal money markets. This volume is comprised of six chapters and begins with a discussion on political, institutional, and legal obstacles to NIEO, along with obstacles to international trade and international finance. In particular, the obstacles presented by the structure and policies of the International Monetary Fund are described. The mounting debt of developing countries is also considered, together with obstacles to the production and distribution of primary commodities and energy, obstacles to technology transfer and to social justice, and environmental obstacles. This book will be of interest to economists and economic policymakers.

Nature, Empire, and Nation

Explorations of the History of Science in the Iberian World

By: Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra

This collection of essays explores two traditions of interpreting and manipulating nature in the early-modern and nineteenth-century Iberian world: one instrumental and imperial, the other patriotic and national. Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions. The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory.

How to Write the History of the New World

Histories, Epistemologies, and Identities in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World

By: Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra

An Economist Book of the Year, 2001. In the 18th century, a debate ensued over the French naturalist Buffon’s contention that the New World was in fact geologically new. Historians, naturalists, and philosophers clashed over Buffon’s view. This book maintains that the “dispute” was also a debate over historical authority: upon whose sources and facts should naturalists and historians reconstruct the history of the New World and its people. In addressing this question, the author offers a strikingly novel interpretation of the Enlightenment.

Mexican American Baseball in South Texas

By: Richard A. Santillán, Gregory Garrett, Juan D. Coronado, Jorge Iber and Roberto Zamora

Mexican American Baseball in South Texas pays tribute to the former baseball teams and players from Edinburg, McAllen, Mission, Pharr, Donna, Alamo, San Juan, Brownsville, Harlingen, and other surrounding communities. From the late 19th century through the 1950s, baseball in South Texas provided opportunities for nurturing athletic and educational skills, reaffirming ethnic identity, promoting political self-determination, developing economic autonomy, and reshaping gender roles for women. Games were special times where Mexican Americans found refuge from backbreaking work and prejudice. These unmatched photographs and stories shed light on the rich history of baseball in this region of Texas.

Éxito con o sin crisis

By: Jorge Díaz Cardiel

En lo bueno y en lo malo. Así es como una empresa demuestra su liderazgo y buena gestión frente a la que es flor de un día. Por ello, Jorge Díaz-Cardiel aprovecha su bagaje como experto en el mundo de la gestión y la economía para hacer un homenaje a todas aquellas compañías que han sabido evolucionar y anticiparse a los tiempos difíciles y, como consecuencia, siguen estando en lo más alto. Además, el autor resalta la importancia que tiene el papel de los responsables de Comunicación en la consecución de tan buenos resultados. Éxito con o sin crisis analiza el recorrido de las compañías que cumplen con al menos 25 parámetros empresariales incluidos en su código genético: en los tiempos de bonanza, esos factores son arietes, puntas de lanza que les ayudan a mejorar la cuenta de resultados, distribuir más dividendo a los accionistas o ganar cuota de mercado. Y, en los complicados, todo se hace más llevadero. Las empresas analizadas son: Telefónica, Iberdrola, Danone, Microsoft, HP, Intel, La Caixa, Abertis, El Corte Inglés, Novartis, AC Hoteles, NH, Iberostar, Sol Meliá, Paradores de Turismo, Mapfre, Caser, Sanitas, Seguros Pelayo, Línea Directa Aseguradora, Santander, Indra, Deloitte y PWC.

Addicted to Punishment

The Disporportionality of Drug Laws in Latin America

By: Uprimny, Rodrigo,Guzmán, Diana Esther,Parra, Jorge

In Latin America, trafficking cocaine so it can be sold to someone who wants to use it is more serious than raping a woman or deliberately killing your neighbor. While it may seem incredible, that is the conclusion of a rigorous study of the evolution of criminal legislation in the region, which shows that countries’ judicial systems mete out harsher penalties for trafficking even modest amounts of drugs than for acts as heinous as sexual assault or murder. How have we reached such an unjust and irrational point? In recent decades, especially the 1980s, Latin American countries, influenced by an international prohibitionist model, fell – ironically – into what we might metaphorically call an addiction to punishment. Addiction creates the need to consume more and more drugs, which have less and less effect; ultimately, the problematic user simply consumes drugs to avoid withdrawal. Drug legislation in Latin America seems to have followed a similar path. Countries have an ever-growing need to add crimes and increase the penalties for drug trafficking, supposedly to control an ex- panding illegal market, while this increasingly punitive approach has less and less effect on decreasing the supply and use of illegal drugs. So just as the problematic drug user faced with the declining effects of the drug automatically increases the frequency and amount consumed, public officials, seeing the scant impact of growing punitive repression, increase the dose and frequency. And our countries become addicted to punishment, which explains the disproportionate laws that are discussed and documented in this paper. Over the past 60 years, this evolution has taken place within the context of the so-called “war on drugs.” The dominant worldwide policy on “illegal drugs” has been their prohibition, an approach characterized by the use of criminal law as the basic tool for combating all phases of the business (cultivation, production, distribution and trafficking), and in some cases even drug use. With some nuances and significant variation, the legislation in every country in the world contains criminal provisions calling for imprisonment for the distribution and trafficking of controlled substances.

Perpetuating Power

How Mexican Presidents Were Chosen

By: Jorge G. Castaneda,Padraic Arthur Smithies

The widely acclaimed explication of Mexican politics from "one of the most insightful Mexican intellectuals" (The New York Times Book Review). Jorge Castaneda, recently named Mexico's foreign minister, has been both an insider and an outsider in Mexico's political system. In Perpetuating Power, he lays bare the often mystifying workings of power in Mexico, offering readers what the New York Times Book Review called "an unusually revealing explication of the inner workings of three decades of presidential succession." To outside observers, Mexico stood out for its odd mixture of democratic pretension with autocratic inevitability: there were always elections, but everyone knew the next president would be the candidate of the aptly named Party of the Institutional Revolution, which governed Mexico throughout most of the last century. In six penetrating essays combined with interviews by Castaneda with each of the living Mexican ex-presidents, Perpetuating Power provides a remarkably candid account of the political machinery behind Mexican presidential politics and a view, startling to political outsiders, of how power really operates.
