* A superior volume with contributions from top scholars * Explores critical dimensions of community-based economic development in Latin America Transcending Neoliberalism examines the role of community, participation, decentralization, and empowering social movements in the quest for equitable development in Latin America. Over the past two decades, in the context of an epoch-defining process of globalization, a form of development has emerged that moves beyond the neoliberal focus on both market and state--one that reaches back for ideas into communities that have been created within rural and urban societies of developing and developed areas.

El libro recoge 38 aportaciones sobresalientes al IV Congreso Europeo de Psicología Comunitaria representativas del trabajo teórico, práctico e investigador realizado por psicólogos comunitarios en Europa y Latinoamérica, agrupadas, según el tema, en 4 capítulos. El capítulo 1 presenta los valores sociales de varias poblaciones así como algunas dinámicas educativas y transculturales de esos valores en nuestros días. En el capítulo 2 se hacen reflexiones y propuestas éticas sobre el trabajo comunitario en tiempos de conformismo. Los artículos del capítulo 3 analizan comunidad -y su vivencia psicológica- como temas centrales de la Psicología Comunitaria y del debate social moderno y postmoderno. El capítulo 4 agrupa experiencias e intervenciones comunitarias en los ámbitos de emigración, salud, política y educación. En dos capítulos adicionales, los compiladores, introducen y sacan conclusiones teóricas y prácticas de lo expuesto el libro, identificando la comunidad, el poder, la ética y los valores como temas nucleares. El volumen es de interés para estudiantes, académicos y practicantes de “lo social” desde distintas perspectivas y profesiones...The book gathers 38 contributions to the IV European Congress on Community Psychogy representative of the theoretical, practical, and research work done by community psychologists around Europe and Latin America.

This book gives a special emphasis to state-of-the-art descriptions of approaches, methods, initiatives, and projects from universities, stakeholders, organizations, and civil society across the world, regarding cross-cutting issues in sustainable development. There is a perceived need for mobilizing the various stakeholders when attempting to promote sustainability in higher education and to promote best practices, which may inspire further initiatives. But despite this need, there are a few publications handling this matter in a coherent way. In order to meet the pressing need for publications which may document and disseminate examples of best practice on sustainable development at university level, the “Handbook of Best Practices in Sustainable Development at University Level” is being published. This book is produced by the European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR), through the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and contains inputs from authors across all geographical regions. The book also discusses examples of initiatives coordinated by universities but involving civil society, the private sector, and public sector (including local, national, and intergovernmental bodies). In particular, it describes practical experiences, partnerships, networks, and training schemes for building capacity aimed at fostering the cause of sustainable development at institutions of higher education. Thanks to its design and the contributions by experts from various areas, it provides a welcome contribution to the literature on sustainable development, and it may inspire further works in this field.

Discussing the civilizatory crisis and processes of refeudalization this volume brings into dialogue two of the most creative approaches, in Olaf Kaltmeier and Edgardo Lander, to rethink capitalism in the 21st century. In Part 1, Olaf Kaltmeier, takes issue with the state of social inequality in the region, highlighting the concentration of wealth within the upper 1% of society in Latin America. Comparing the current economic situation with the ancient regime, the discussion centers around the new phenomena like billionaires as president, increased luxury consumption, an emerging culture of distinction, and the intensification of land and spatial segregation. In Part 2, Lander urgently assesses the current state and political legacy of the "Pink Tide" governments in his essay "Crisis of Civilization." Reviewing the past two decades of the new millennium, Lander critiques the failure of these governments to provide alternatives to extractivism and economic dependencies. Finally, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt connects the arguments through interviews where both authors sum their efforts to open the issues to future dialogue. Refeudalization in Latin America provides an accessible and thought-provoking political diagnosis from the Global South which departs from the oft idiosyncratic and cyclical debates of the Global North to offer new vocabulary for social change. It will interest scholars and students of global studies, sociology, and political science.
