Para entender por qué Cuba sigue ocupando un destacado espacio en las agendas de los medios de comunicación en todo el mundo hay que retrotraerse a la etapa insurreccional de la década de 1950, cuando un grupo de barbudos protagonizo las portadas de las publicaciones mas importantes de la epoca. Este libro recoge la relacion mantenida entre los rebeldes cubanos y la dimension publica del proceso insurreccional, asentada en tres variables: la prensa cubana, la prensa internacional y la prensa clandestina. Se centra en los periodistas que entrevistaron a la guerrilla de Sierra Maestra, el tratamiento de la informacion difundida sobre Cuba tanto dentro como fuera de isla y las tacticas propagandisticas seguidas por la rebeldia, para ofrecer una vision global del proceso historico desde el punto de vista publico y mediatico, que lograron generar un exitoso "marketing revolucionario" y en la construccion identitaria alrededor del ejercito rebelde del Movimiento 26 de Julio y Fidel Castro.

The book examines ASEAN's mechanisms in managing challenges and threats to regional security. Its extensive analyses of the ASEAN story of managing regional security cover the different phases of ASEAN's development as a regional organization and explore the perceptible changes that have occurred in regional mechanisms of conflict management. The book also examines the roles of relevant actors beyond the states of ASEAN and the key interactions that have evolved over time, which have been instrumental in moving regional mechanisms beyond the ASEAN way.The book argues that the ASEAN way has not been impervious to change. As the association finds its way through periods of crises and continues to confront the many challenges ahead, ASEAN and its mechanisms are already being transformed beyond the narrow confines of the modalities associated with the ASEAN way. The changes in the political and security landscape of the region, as well as the democratic transitions taking place in some member states, have set the stage for a much more dynamic set of regional actors and processes that bring into question the kind of regionalism that is now taking place in the region.

Amitav Acharya has written a splendidly ambitious book. Travelling from the discipline of International Relations to the historiography of Southeast Asia and back again, it draws upon a range of methodologies to analyse the issue of identity in the configuration of Southeast Asia. But it provides more than an academic assessment.With this book, Acharya must be judged to have contributed not just to the study of Southeast Asian regionalism, but to the process itself."" - Anthony Milner, Basham Professor of Asian History, Australian National University.

In Activists beyond Borders, Margaret E. Keck and Kathryn Sikkink examine a type of pressure group that has been largely ignored by political analysts: networks of activists that coalesce and operate across national frontiers. Their targets may be international organizations or the policies of particular states.Historical examples of such transborder alliances include anti-slavery and woman suffrage campaigns. In the past two decades, transnational activism has had a significant impact in human rights, especially in Latin America, and advocacy networks have strongly influenced environmental politics as well. The authors also examine the emergence of an international campaign around violence against women.

EN LA NUEVA RUSIA, INCLUSO LA DICTADURA SE CONVIERTE EN UN REALITY SHOW. Asesinos a sueldo con alma de artista, aspirantes a directores de teatro convertidos en titiriteros del Kremlin, supermodelos suicidas, Angeles del Infierno que se creen guerreros sagrados y revolucionarios oligarcas: bienvenidos al corazon surrealista y deslumbrante de la Rusia del siglo XXI. En La nueva Rusia, Peter Pomerantsev se sumerge en un pais que desde Occidente resulta impactante: un mundo del que mana el nuevo dinero y el nuevo poder, y que cambia tan rapido que rompe todo sentido de la realidad, alberga una forma de dictadura sutil y desafia a los paises de su alrededor a medida que acrecienta su fuerza.

Based on an essay that has been hailed as one of the most influential policy pieces published in the last decade, Robert Cooper sets out a radical new interpretation of the shape of the world in this path-breaking book The Breaking of Nations.Cooper argues that there are three types of states in the world that deal with each other in different ways: 'pre-modern' parts of the world, without fully functioning states, 'modern' nation states, concerned with territorial sovereignty and national interests, and 'post-modern' states in which foreign and domestic policy are inextricably intertwined, tools of governance are shared and security is no longer based on control over territory or the balance of power. Among first world nations, societies may operate on the basis of laws, openness and cooperative security. But when dealing with a hostile outside enemy, civilized countries need to revert to tougher methods from an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception - if we are to safeguard peaceful co-existence throughout the civilized worldLike Robert Kagan's best-selling Of Paradise and Power, The Breaking of Nations is essential reading for a dangerous age, a cautionary tale for superpowers, and a prescient examination of international relations in the twenty-first century.

Contesting the Global Order explores what it means to be a radical intellectual as political hopes fade. Gregory P. Williams chronicles the evolution of intellectual visionaries Perry Anderson and Immanuel Wallerstein, who despite altered circumstances for radical change, continued to advance creative interpretations of the social world. Wallerstein and Anderson, whose hopes were invested in a more egalitarian future, believed their writings would contribute to socialism, which they anticipated would be a postcapitalist future of relative social, economic, and political equality. However, by the 1980s dreams of socialism had faded and they had to face the reality that socialism was neither close nor inevitable. Their sensitivity to current events, Williams argues, takes on new significance in this century, when many scholars are grappling with the issue of change in a world of declining state power.

La política es la manera de conducirse una comunidad humana constituida en democracia. En una sociedad democrática, los conflictos entre opiniones acerca de los actos y políticas del gobierno se resuelven regularmente sin recurrir a la guerra civil. Medi

August 21, 2013: a chemical weapons attack on the suburbs of Damascus reminds the world of the existence of the Syrian war. Hundreds of journalists from every corner of the world rush to the frontier only to leave disappointed when Obama decides not to bomb. They leave behind 200,000 estimated victims, and more than half of a population of 22 million people dispersed or refugeed in nearby countries: the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII according to the UN.Francesca Borri is one of them. But she does not leave. She is thirty years old. For months she covers the battle of Aleppo as a freelance reporter. And she quickly realizes that to report a war is to hide with dozens of women and children, even a baby, born there, in a grave, 'a piece of soil under the ground that is as expensive as three houses' or to scavenge for anything to burn for some warmth, 'a broken slipper, the plastic hand of a toy' or to mistake bloody figments of skull for rubble. To report a war is also to meet with officials more worried about the stain of snow on their Clarks than the people they are supposed to help. It is to explain what is happening in Aleppo to journalists who have only been there once, on vacation, and bought a carpet. It is risking one's life because of the jealousy of a fellow reporter. And it is also about dreaming of driving at night with the windows open, about remembering impossible little things, the particular light on that day in that cafe at the beach when you were a kid, the eyes of people you love, all the minuscule simple joys that can be lost in a moment. Syrian Dust is a raw and powerful account of the Syrian war that throws the reader right in the middle of it, without any shelter.

¿Fue la independencia eslovena ese proceso modélico, democrático y pacífico que se presenta habitualmente? Un nuevo Estado para un nuevo orden mundial recoge las claves que desmontan esa imagen idealizada del proceso soberanista esloveno y lo situa en el contexto historico del final de la Guerra Fria y la crisis yugoslava. Escrito con la pretension de servir tanto a un publico universitario como al lector interesado en la historia reciente de Europa, este libro reflexiona sobre las transformaciones politicas emprendidas por las elites comunistas eslovenas en los años ochenta y la creacion del nuevo Estado, consumada en 1991. En el analisis se consideran los factores sociales que propiciaron la independencia, el papel del nacionalismo basado en la lengua y el egoismo economico, las diferentes facciones politicas implicadas y la participacion de las potencias europeas, que asumieron y justificaron el camino emprendido por el pequeño pais. La independencia de Eslovenia jugo un papel historico importante en la llegada del nuevo orden mundial a Europa, siendo el episodio que prendio la mecha de la desintegracion de Yugoslavia y que sirvio de modelo para los nuevos Estados fundados sobre el nacionalismo etnico excluyente. Como tal, anticipo la violencia que se prolongo durante los años noventa y fue el laboratorio para las intervenciones internacionales en la region.
