Book Description
Triple European Footballer of the Year. Once World Footballer of the Year. European Champion two UEFA Super Cups, European Champion with the Dutch National Team in 1988 and numerous national championships with both Ajax and AC Milan. Marco van Basten is known as one of the greatest footballers of all time, but his personal life has always remained somewhat of a mystery, until now. Basta is the raw, honest, but above all gripping autobiography of Marco van Basten. It's the unfiltered story of his rise to fame, from being under the wing of Cruyff and experiencing life as an Ajax player to being propelled into the spotlight following Euros '88 - and scoring the greatest goal ever to win a major final - and playing for AC Milan at the peak of Italian football's popularity. But despite countless successes, Marco van Basten experienced many low points, including losing a childhood friend, battling with pain after his numerous fluffed operations, and ultimately coming to terms with life after playing football. Basta is his story.

Book Description
On January 1, 1994, in the impoverished state of Chiapas in southern Mexico, the Zapatista rebellion shot into the international spotlight. In this fully revised third edition of their classic study of the rebellion's roots, George Collier and Elizabeth Lowery Quaratiello paint a vivid picture of the historical struggle for land faced by the Maya Indians, who are among Mexico's poorest people. Examining the roles played by Catholic and Protestant clergy, revolutionary and peasant movements, the oil boom and the debt crisis, NAFTA and the free trade era, and finally the growing global justice movement, the authors provide a rich context for understanding the uprising and the subsequent history of the Zapatistas and rural Chiapas, up to the present day.

The Symbolic State

ISBN: 0228009200
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The nation-state is a double sleight of hand, naturalizing both the nation and the state encompassing it. No such naturalization is possible in multinational states. To explain why these countries experience political crises that bring their very existence into question, standard accounts point to conflicts over resources, security, and power. This book turns the spotlight on institutional symbolism. When minority nations in multinational states press for more self-government, they are not only looking to protect their interests. They are asking to be recognized as political communities in their own right. Yet satisfying their demands for recognition threatens to provoke a reaction from members of majority nations who see such changes as a symbolic repudiation of their own vision of politics. Secessionist crises flare up when majority backlash reverses symbolic concessions to minority nations. Through a synoptic historical sweep of Canada, Spain, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, The Symbolic State shows us that institutions may be more important for what they mean than for what they do. A major contribution to the study of comparative nationalism and secession, comparative politics, and social theory, The Symbolic State is particularly timely in an era when the power of symbols – exemplified by Brexit, the Donald Trump presidency, and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement – is reshaping politics.

Book Description
"BASTA! a story of longing and desire photographed in Italy during the summer of 2011. From the seaside towns of the Amalfi Coast to the cities of Rome and Milan, the photographs are like fragments of our projected Italy, striking in their absence of a traditional perspective. The familiar and idealised is subverted and takes on anonymity. Viewed in sequence, the images share motifs and symbols that make an undetermined narrative, examining the limits of the book's title. The work finds its form in four parts; as the series change, the mood, too, shifts"--Artist's website.

Book Description
La República Dominicana se destaca por ser una economía en rápido crecimiento que no le ha sido posible generar una reducción proporcional en la pobreza. Tres razones han sido planteadas anteriormente para explicar esta paradoja: (i) un mercado laboral que no traduce el aumento de la productividad en aumentos salariales; (ii) una economía interna con débiles encadenamientos intersectoriales; (iii) y un sector público que ni gasta lo suficiente, ni particularmente bien, para reducir la pobreza. Además, el país permanece mayormente expuesto a desastres naturales y choques exógenos que, si no se mitigan adecuadamente, pueden afectar la sostenibilidad del crecimiento a largo y mediano plazos. Esta obra conjuga varios análisis empíricos que exploran tres hipótesis complementarias que podrían ayudar a entender porqué la República Dominicana, aún hoy, sigue experimentando altas tasas de crecimiento económico con reducción limitada de la pobreza. La primera hipótesis trata de probar si el patrón de rápido crecimiento económico con la pobreza persistente que se observa en la RD lo impulsa en parte una metodología de la pobreza que no toma en cuenta la variación de precios que claramente afecta los patrones de consumo de los hogares de ingresos bajo y aquéllos de mejor posición económica. Si se sostiene esa hipótesis, la RD puede enfrentar una situación en la cual se subestiman los ingresos del hogar con respecto a los hogares en el extremo inferior de la distribución. La segunda hipótesis intenta validar si el patrón de especialización en la RD podría ser tal que no favorece la mano de obra no calificada. Si se sostiene esa hipótesis, entonces el rendimiento del capital probablemente es mucho mayor que el rendimiento de la mano de obra lo que podría ser un indicio de que la RD ha tenido una ventaja comparativa en productos que son de uso intensivo de capital. La tercera hipótesis investiga si la pobreza y la desigualdad salarial en la RD se ven afectadas no solo por la inmigración, sino también por la emigración. El aporte del volumen, por tanto, descansa precisamente en ofrecer una exploración más cuidadosa de los asuntos específicos que giran en torno a explicaciones comunes para las deficiencias de la RD en reducir la pobreza de manera más rápida.
