La obra Dirección estratégica para el siglo XXI es, ante todo, un manual de dirección estratégica y estrategia. Pero, como su título evidencia, no se trata de otro manual más, sino que, a partir de una visión transdisciplinar de la dirección estratégica y la estrategia de empresa, revisa la evolución viva de la gestión estratégica en este cambio de siglo, desde el enfoque tradicional y ortodoxo de la dirección estratégica de la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta los actuales enfoques emergentes que, guiados por la recuperación de unos valores universales, discurren por lógicas distintas a las del crecimiento, la competencia y el beneficio económico en sus propuestas ante el nudo gordiano en el que la globalización nos sitúa. Además, esta obra también va más allá de los manuales de dirección estratégica y estrategia habituales ya que su carácter no solo es científico, sino además divulgativo. Así, el libro presenta y desarrolla los pilares fundamentales del paradigma moderno de la gestión o dirección estratégica, analiza desde otras disciplinas científicas sus contradicciones intrínsecas y examina algunos de los principales nuevos enfoques de gestión en cierto modo aún emergentes, pero llamados a ocupar un papel protagonista de ahora en adelante. En cuanto a la organización de sus contenidos, el manual se divide en tres partes: Dirección estratégica hasta el siglo XX, Un ejercicio aplicado: el mundo en transición y Dirección estratégica para el siglo XXI. Todas las partes están interrelacionadas y, se ha apuntado, describen de forma fidedigna la evolución de la dirección estratégica en este cambio de siglo. Finalmente, y también a diferencia de los manuales tradicionales, se incluye un capítulo de conclusiones. La obra abre al lector la mayoría de las puertas de la materia y le muestra las principales claves de la dirección estratégica para el siglo XXI.

This handbook explores how democracies around the world seek to balance democratic values with the requirement to protect their citizens from the threat of politically motivated violence. Over the past few decades, the majority of the world’s democracies have had to confront serious security threats, and in many instances these challenges have not come from rival states but from violent groups. This volume offers readers an overview of how some democracies have responded to such threats. It examines the extent to which authorities have felt compelled to modify laws to evade what would ordinarily be regarded as protected rights, such as personal privacy, freedom of movement and freedom of speech. Grounded in historical analysis, each of the sections addresses past and emerging security threats; legal and legislative responses to them; successful and unsuccessful efforts to reconcile democracy and security; and a range of theoretical questions. The case studies provided vary in terms of the durability of their democratic systems, level of economic development and the severity of the threats with which they have been confronted. The volume is divided into three thematic parts: Strong democracies: United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Israel Challenged democracies: India, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Romania Fragile democracies: the Philippines and Nigeria. This book will be of much interest to students of democracy, security studies, political philosophy, Asian politics, Middle Eastern politics, African politics, West European politics and IR in general.

Where is Marxism in International Relations? The answer lies in this collective work by Brazilian authors who have looked to Marxist theory for an alternative perspective, and therefore outside the dominant ideas in the field, to analyse International Relations. Specifically, the answer is divided into themes: key ideas by Marx and Engels for IR, Marxist thinkers as IR theorists, Marxist theories on imperialism, and the Latin-American theory on dependency. With the end result, this book adds to the international intellectual efforts to criticize and overcome capitalism.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) is the most important pulse crop in the world. It is an important source of calories, proteins, dietary fibers, minerals, and vitamins for millions of people in both developing and developed countries worldwide. It complements cereals and other carbohydrate-rich foods in providing near-perfect nutrition to people of all ages. Moreover, a regular intake ofbeans helps lower cholesterol and cancer risks. Despite the fact that per capita consumption of common bean in some developed countries (e. g. , the U. S. A. ) has been increasing over the last several years, in general, the average global per capita consumption is declining because production is unable to keep up with the population growth. Moreover, increasing demand for pesticide-free food products, concern for natural resources conservation, and the need to reduce production costs offer daunting challenges to the twenty-first century policy makers, bean growers, and researchers alike. High yielding, high quality bean cultivars that require less water, fertilizers, pesticides, and manual labor combined with integrated management of abiotic and biotic stresses will have to be developed. Eminent bean researchers were invited to contemplate these issues, prepare a state-of-the-art account on most relevant topics, and offer their insight into research directions into the twenty-first century. Four excellent books have been published covering various aspects ofthe common bean since 1980. These books are: I) Bean Production Problems nd in the Tropics (l SI ed. 1980, 2 ed. 1989), H. F. Schwartz & M. A.
