This book provides a comprehensive, conceptual and analytical framework for understanding the reordering process in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, driven and shaped by China–US rivalry. It demonstrates the differences between China–US, China–LAC and US–LAC relations and questions to what extent the LAC region can be considered a unified actor. Exploring broad perspectives such as global governance, international institutions, trade, security policy, climate change, multilateralism and regional and global peace and stability, the contributors also consider China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and “minilateral” cooperation, sustainable development and business and the role of soft power, such as tourism and education in China–LAC relations. This timely and important contribution analyzing the changing regional order in the LAC region brought about by China’s global rise and increasing hegemonic competition with the US will appeal to scholars and student of international relations, international political economy, and security studies.

Con un epígrafe de Sõren Kierkegaard inicia Curtis Bauer su poemario: «El mayor de todos los peligros, perderse a sí mismo, puede ocurrir inadvertidamente en el mundo, como si no fuera nada». Y es que para este poeta el peligro yace en la distracción, en no darse cuenta. Por eso regresa a lo ido, a un pasado que requiere ser revisitado. América, las distintas américas que conforman el universo de Bauer, se nos presenta en una crudeza llevada a la abstracción. Máquinas, manchas de petróleo, mares de tierra, salamandras, un mundo con atisbos de esperanza y su olor a jazmín. Aquí hay estaciones de una edad a la que Bauer regresa y se pregunta si la belleza es, si la justicia es, si la niña es, si el amor es, y si lo que muestra es lo que nos mantiene asidos a la patria.

Cultural factors shape the symbolic environment in which contentious politics take place. Among these factors, collective memories are particularly relevant: they can help collective action by providing symbolic material from the past, but at the same time they can constrain people's ability to mobilise by imposing proscriptions and prescriptions. This book analyses the relationship between social movements and collective memories: how do social movements participate in the building of public memory? And how does public memory, and in particular the media’s representation of a contentious past, influence strategic choices in contemporary movements? To answer these questions the book draws its focus on the evolution of the representation of specific events in the Italian and Spanish student movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Furthermore, through qualitative interviews to contemporary student activists in both countries, it investigates the role of past waves of contention in shaping the present through the publicly discussed image of the past.

Despite a stop-and-go policy, over the past twenty years the European Union, Latin America, and the Caribbean Region have joined forces to scale-up their partnership. Today, the time seems ripe for the EU to give new impetus to bi-regional relations as the US interest in the region appears to be decreasing, and China quickly steps in. The near future will indicate whether the political will to bolster relations between the EU and the region is actually stronger than before: how will the agreements between the EU and Mexico, Chile, and the Caribbean be updated? Will the EU-MERCOSUR Association Agreement be completed? If so, the EU will be able to enact free trade agreements with all the countries in the region, except Bolivia, Venezuela and Cuba. The latter is already involved in its first ever negotiation with the EU to strengthen bilateral cooperation. This volume provides an overview and wide-ranging analyses on the ongoing negotiations, viable options and possible results.

La forma de consumir televisión está cambiando a gran velocidad. Las narrativas transmedia, el consumo en dispositivos móviles, la gamificación, las llamadas «segundas pantallas», la implicación con redes 2.0 y la audiencia social representan un reto, pero también ofrecen enormes posibilidades para los creadores de contenidos audiovisuales. El concepto de televisión basada en el broadcasting cede su protagonismo a los contenidos con implicación en social media y concepción transmedia. Este libro nos acerca a las nuevas rutinas productivas y al diseño de estrategias acordes con este nuevo paradigma comunicativo, y lo hace combinando los referentes académicos con aportaciones directas de la industria de la comunicación y el análisis de casos de éxito para ofrecer a los lectores la posibilidad de comprender en qué medida está cambiando el audiovisual, los espectadores y las dinámicas sociales en torno a la televisión.
