El derecho administrativo es de muy significativa relevancia para nuestra democracia. Así se puede colegir al observar su incidencia en la relación de las personas con los organismos del Estado, la cual es una variable crítica para la conformación de los derechos ciudadanos. Tal disciplina también guía la redacción de normas y la jurisprudencia. Si a eso se añade que la mayor cantidad de los preceptos de la Constitución Política son de esa rama del derecho, se nos hace natural la afirmación de que las bases de esta última están ancladas en los fundamentos del régimen democrático. Su estudio integral y sistemático resulta entonces de alto interés. Este libro propone un acercamiento al derecho administrativo, teniendo a la vista que él comprende una amplia variedad de temáticas y que es difícil de delimitar: de hecho, no existe un código que lo contenga y él se encuentra presente en muchas normas dispersas. En lo concreto, hemos optado por que estas páginas reúnan escritos que abarcan el conjunto de rasgos peculiares que caracterizan y conforman el perfil del derecho administrativo neomoderno. Podrá comprobar el lector una aplicación concreta del espacio jurídico neomoderno, que domina actualmente las fuentes y relación jurídica de la disciplina, y que ningún legislador, juez o jurista debiera ignorar.Los capítulos que acá se presentan abarcan las áreas necesarias para una visión integral de esta disciplina. Comprenden materias referidas a las fuentes del derecho administrativo y a la jurisdicción contencioso administrativa. Dan espacio a diversas consideraciones sobre la génesis, el método y los desafíos del derecho administrativo, así como se expone con la debida contextualización acerca de autores y doctrinas útiles para una comprensión global de este. Un capítulo aborda los aspectos esenciales de las tareas de la Contraloría General de la República, entidad que es un referente institucional de importancia en el área. Enseguida, en una secuencia lógica, Alejandro Vergara aborda otros tópicos, como los referidos a la organización de la administración del aparato público –entre ellos, la descentralización, el autogobierno y el quehacer de autoridades independientes–, y otros vinculados a los procedimientos, los plazos y los expedientes administrativos. Continúa con materias de incuestionable actualidad, como son los procesos de nulidad administrativa, responsabilidad patrimonial y transparencia; las diferenciaciones conceptuales y operativas sobre bienes de uso público y privado, y la significación del derecho de propiedad y sus vastas implicancias. Concluye dejando espacio a planteamientos, formulados con un tono marcadamente didáctico, sobre dos regulaciones especiales de indiscutible interés en nuestro país.

Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

The first part addresses general issues (e.g. procedures and organization of public administrations, administrative justice). The second part focuses on more specific topics (e.g. public intervention in the economy, healthcare management, local government).

Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
