The first work in English to discuss the social and political history of lawyers in a Latin American country, Honorable Lives presents a portrait of lawyers in late colonial and early modern Colombia. Uribe-Uran focuses on the social origins, education, and careers of those qualified to practice law before the highest colonial courts—Audiencias—and the republican courts after the 1820s. In the course of his study, Uribe-Uran answers many questions about this elite group of professionals. What were the social origins and families of lawyers? Their relation to the state? Their participation in political movements and parties, revolutions, civil wars, and other political processes? Their ideas, education, and training? By exploring the lives of lawyers, Uribe-Uran is also able to present a general history of Latin America while examining the key social and political changes and continuities from 1780 to 1850—particularly the elites and state managers.Honorable Lives features three genealogical charts detailing bureaucratic networks established by families of lawyers in different historical periods. The text also contains an abundant series of statistical tables and charts, and concise biographical information on approximately 150 Latin American lawyers. This book will appeal to Latin Americanists, students of law, and anyone interested in the lives and histories of lawyers.

Esta investigación contribuye al debate de una cuestión fundamental para la disciplina: ¿es la Administración Pública una ciencia? La respuesta a esta pregunta inicia desde el momento mismo del surgimiento de la Administración Pública en su etapa moderna. Primero es Wilson y Goodnow al final del siglo XIX, después en el siglo XX se Inicia con White, Gulick, Dimock, Simon, Dahl, Ostrom, Parker, Caiden, Mosher y Waldo, entre los más importantes, quienes cuestionan el carácter científico de la disciplina. Para algunos es sólo un arte elevado, que como la metalurgia o la odontología nacieron como arte y se convirtieron con el tiempo en una ciencia; para otros es una filosofía que puede contribuir a la felicidad del ser humano; hay quienes la consideran un conjunto de técnicas y habilidades que debidamente aplicadas contribuyen a la eficiencia y eficacia del gobierno; otros sostienen que es una ciencia en gestación y desarrollo que se encuentra fragmentada pero que tiene identidad y materia; los más radicales han dicho que no es una ciencia, arte o filosofía, que sólo puede ser considerada una profesión. La tesis central de esta obra es que la Administración Pública es una ciencia, debido a que: 1) tiene un objeto de estudio tan antiguo como el gobierno mismo; 2) cuenta con un estudio del objeto ancestral, que se consolida a partir de los cameralistas, Bonnin, von Stein y Wilson durante los siglos XIX y XX; 3) tiene un campo profesional para aplicar sus conocimientos en el gobierno; 4) esisten universidades que ofrecen la carrera para su enseñanza y que la constituyen en la Ciencia Administrativa; 5) existen disciplinas que han contribuido a su desarrollo teórico, pero cuenta con un objeto de estudio propio que le da identidad; 6) es una disciplina aplicada que se encuentra en gestación; 7) en su ejercicio y práctica nace como arte y en su desarrollo se ha convertido en una ciencia plena y autónoma.

This book is About the Science of Public Administration about what we know and what we need to know about it, as well as what we can do to make science more useful to the state and society. The disarticulation between the Science of Public Administration and the administrative practice of the XXI century causes that the public administrator does not have the theoretical elements and the sufficient tools for the efficient and effective treatment of public affairs. The administration Public and its science have to be rethought not only from their inheritance, but also from their potential to provide intellectual tools and practices that increase public capacity.That is ,make a stronger,smarter and more efficient state, which can only be achieved with a solid and useful body of knowledge. From the detailed study of the State, the Science of Public Administration and its practice,facing the current needs of the governments,the autor proposes elements for its consolidation and strengthening in the XXI century.

Tal y como hoy en día se pone de relieve de forma cada vez más creciente, el Derecho, y concretamente la regulación adecuada y de calidad, puede ser un elemento que permita e incentive la innovación en la sociedad o, por el contrario, la dificulte y la desincentive. La innovación es clave para la competitividad y el crecimiento económico de los países, tanto en los niveles micro como macro. Se trata de un complejo concepto, que puede referirse tanto a iniciativas sociales, a la denominada economía colaborativa o a nuevas tecnologías, para tomar nuevas ideas y traducirlas en resultados sociales o económicos que mejoren el bienestar de los consumidores Contenido: Reseña biográfica de los autores.

The fall of empires and the rise of nation-states was a defining political transition in the making of the modern world. As United States imperialism becomes a popular focus of debate, we must understand how empire, the nineteenth century's dominant form of large-scale political organization, had disappeared by the end of the twentieth century. Here, ten prominent specialists discuss the empire-to-nation transition in comparative perspective. Chapters on Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia, and China illustrate both the common features and the diversity of the transition. Questioning the sharpness of the break implied by the empire/nation binary, the contributors explore the many ways in which empires were often nation-like and nations behaved imperially. While previous studies have focused on the rise and fall of empires or on nationalism and the process of nation-building, this intriguing volume concentrates on the empire-to-nation transition itself. Understanding this transition allows us to better interpret the contemporary political order and new forms of global hegemony.

In the wake of independence, Spanish American leaders perceived the colonial past as looming over their present. Crafting a Republic for the World examines how the vibrant postcolonial public sphere in Colombia invented narratives of the Spanish "colonial legacy." Those supposed legacies included a lack of effective geographic knowledge, blockages to a circulatory political economy, existing patterns of land tenure, entrenched inequalities, and ignorance among popular sectors. At times collaboratively, and at times combatively, Colombian leaders tackled these "colonial" legacies to forge a republic in a hostile world of monarchies and empires. The highly partisan, yet uniformly republican public sphere crafted a vision of a virtuous nation that, unlike the United States, had already abolished slavery and included Indians as citizens. By the mid-nineteenth century, as suffrage expanded to all males over twenty-one, Colombian elites nevertheless tinkered with territorial divisions and devised new constitutions to manage the alleged "colonial legacy" affecting the minds of popular voters. The book explores how the struggle to be at the vanguard of radical republican equality fomented innovative contributions to social sciences, including geography, cartography, political ethnography, constitutional science, history, and the calculation of equity through land reform. Paradoxically, these efforts created a kind of legal pluralism reminiscent of the Spanish monarchy during the "colonial" period.
