Expertos en Liderazgo han reconocido una paradoja que caracteriza este concepto: buscamos un liderazgo efectivo justo cuando los líderes son incapaces de manejar apropiadamente los acontecimientos que afectan nuestras vidas. Confrontar este círculo vicioso implica analizar la noción de liderazgo en función de la relación entre líderes y seguidores. Este tema fue discutido abiertamente durante el 2008, año caracterizado por varias crisis en los niveles global (e.g. la crisis financiera), regional (la crisis andina) y nacional (la crisis electoral en Zimbabwe). Estudios recientes se enfocan en las cualidades de los «buenos» líderes. En contraste, los ensayos de este volumen, resultado de los paneles centrales de la conferencia RISC 2008, traen a los seguidores de vuelta a la escena del análisis social. Cada autor discute la necesidad de crear nuevas formas de gobierno «seguidor-centrista», a través de estudios relacionados con diferentes eventos del 2008: la política electoral y la calidad de la democracia, el impacto de la crisis financiera global en Bélgica, la guerra civil en Colombia, la crisis andina, la «guerra» de México contra la violencia y la política exterior de Sudáfrica. Scholars of leadership have appropriately recognized a paradox which characterizes this concept: we seek effective leadership in moments when leaders are incapable of properly managing events which affect our lives. Confronting this vicious circle implies analyzing leadership as the function of the relationship between leaders and followers. This theme was openly discussed in 2008, a year characterized by various crises at the global (e.g. the financial crisis), regional (e.g. the Andean Crisis), and national (e.g. the electoral crisis in Zimbabwe) levels. Recent studies on leadership have focused on the so-called qualities of «good» leaders. In contrast, the essays in this edited volume, which derive from the keynote panels of the RISC Consortium's 2008 conference, «bring followers back in». All the chapters discuss the need to create new forms of follower-based governance through studies of phenomena related to 2008, including electoral politics and the quality of democracy, the impact of the global financial crisis in Belgium, civil war in Colombia, the 2008 Andean Crisis, Mexico's «War on Violence» and South Africa's foreign policy.

What happens to women whose lives are affected by human rights violations? What happens to their testimony in court or in front of a truth commission? Women face a double marginalization under authoritarian regimes and during and after violent conflicts. Yet reparations programs are rarely designed to address the needs of women victims. What Happened to the Women? Gender and Reparations for Human Rights Violations emphasizes the necessity of a gender dimension in reparations programs to improve their handling of female victims and their families. A joint project of the International Center for Transitional Justice and Canada's International Development Research Centre, What Happened to the Women? includes studies of gender and reparations policies in Guatemala, Peru, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Timor-Leste. Contributors represent a wide range of fields related to transitional justice and include international human rights lawyers, members of truth and reconciliation commissions, and NGO representatives.

Durante décadas, la nación de Colombia ha sufrido el flagelo del desplazamiento forzado debido al conflicto armado, lo cual ha dejado más de ocho millones sin hogar y sin tierra. Para responder ante esta crisis, los teólogos de la Fundación Universitaria Seminario Bíblico de Colombia crearon una metodología—la investigación-acción misional—a fin de entender el fenómeno del desplazamiento forzado, movilizar las iglesias del país y así fomentar la recuperación holística de las víctimas. Se involucraron docenas de estudiosos y profesionales de cuatro continentes, además de coinvestigadores seleccionados de las mismas comunidades desplazadas. La investigación abarcó los campos de la teología, la economía, la política, la pedagogía, la sociología y naturalmente la teología. El fruto de esta colaboración innovadora fue una intervención llamada Fe y Desplazamiento, la cual se ha implementado en docenas de comunidades a lo largo del país. Este libro recopila sus hallazgos y aprendizajes, describiendo el potencial de la metodología de investigación-acción misional y demostrando el poder de la investigación teológica interdisciplinar, puesta al servicio de la misión de la iglesia local.

As cities sprawl across Latin America, absorbing more and more of its people, crime and violence have become inescapable. From the paramilitary invasion of Medell¡n in Colombia, the booming wealth of crack dealers in Managua, Nicaragua and police corruption in Mexico City, to the glimmers of hope in Lima, this book provides a dynamic analysis of urban insecurity. Based on new empirical evidence, interviews with local people and historical contextualization, the authors attempts to shed light on the fault-lines which have appeared in Latin American society. Neoliberal economic policy, it is argued, has intensified the gulf between elites, insulated in gated estates monitored by private security firms, and the poor, who are increasingly mistrustful of state-sponsored attempts to impose order on their slums. Rather than the current trend towards government withdrawal, the situation can only be improved by co-operation between communities and police to build new networks of trust. In the end, violence and insecurity are inseparable from social justice and democracy.
