This book presents an analysis of the various transformation processes at work in the international migratory dynamic of Mexicans as a consequence of the 2008 international economic crisis and the implementation of an increasingly strict American migration policy. Employing a methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative tools, the main findings of this work indicate that the international migration of Mexicans is moving towards a new phase, an era of “contraction and disengagement” that is characterized by the confluence of multiple changes with repercussions on the functioning of international migration as a socioeconomic strategy at the family and migrant community levels.

Based on a multi-sited ethnographic case study on transnational care chains between Milan (Italy) and Lima, Huancayo, and Cuzco (Peru), the book explores how social inequalities are reproduced through the care practices that follow the introduction of Peruvian migrants into home-based elderly care. Anna Katharina Skornia adopts an innovative approach in combining research on transnational care and migration with a perspective on entangled inequalities. In particular, the study sheds light on the role of state regulations in contributing to these inequalities as well as their ambiguous implications from the perspectives of both caregivers and receivers.

Education programs in social entrepreneurship helps to create and fill jobs devoted to developing the local economy, which has become a dual transfer strategy by which a virtuous circle occurs between a retrofitted educational system based on social entrepreneurship, and vocational students who are highly entrepreneurial. The Handbook of Research on Social Entrepreneurship and Solidarity Economics focuses on practical experience and theoretical models for popularizing the concept of social entrepreneurship as a critical element of economic growth. Emphasizing the ways in which social entrepreneurship benefits developing regions, small and medium enterprises, and low-income communities, this handbook of research is a pivotal reference source for professionals, academics, and graduate-level students in the fields of economics, business administration, sociology, education, politics, and international relations.

El PREVI (Proyecto Experimental de Vivienda) de Lima, gestado en 1967, constituye uno de los experimentos construidos de vivienda social más ambiciosos, no sólo por la cantidad de variables planteadas, sino también porque reunió de forma inédita a singulares personalidades del panorama arquitectónico de la época, como Aldo van Eyck, Charles Correa, James Stirling, Christopher Alexander, Atelier 5, Fumihiko Maki, Candilis, Josic y Woods, entre otros. Juntos debatieron, con sus propuestas de vivienda progresiva de baja densidad, diversas formas de hacer ciudad en un contexto de recursos limitados y urbanización urgente. Este estudio sobre la propuesta del PREVI después de más de tres décadas no pretende sólo el rescate de la obra original a partir de un planteamiento 'arqueológico' que ponga en valor la obra de autor escondida tras las constantes intervenciones por parte de sus habitantes, sino poner en tela de juicio la idea de vivienda como solución habitacional, el papel del arquitecto en el proceso y los elementos de diseño con recursos escasos. Pretende, asimismo, rescatar la idea de unidades vecinales, la relación entre espacio público y comunidad, los valores y posibilidades de un urbanismo más abierto y las diferentes estructuras familiares frente a la actual estandarización del usuario.
