On the killing of children
The news is hideous. 298 people died when Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot out of the sky over Ukraine, apparently by pro-Russian separatists. Meanwhile, almost as many people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli air strikes, in response to Hamas firing rockets into Israel.
In both cases, the news reports emphasise the number of children killed. It's a common journalistic practice that we take for granted, which is actually quite curious.
What is being communicated? Is it that a child's death is somehow more tragic, because they have not had a chance to properly experience life? If so, what about all the dead adults who have still not achieved their potential?
Putin is sanitising the voice of ordinary Russians
Vladimir Putin has this week signed into a law some measures to ban swearing in films, books and music. Films with obscene content will not be granted a distribution certificate and exisiting books and music with foul language will have to be sold in special wrapping.
I spoke to Alison Flood of the Guardian about the new law, and what it says about the state of Russian politics:
Writers' group English PEN has already condemned the move. Robert Sharp, its head of campaigns, says: "Swear words exist in every language and are part of everyday speech. Russian artists will no longer be able reflect genuine, everyday speech. Instead, they will have to sacrifice authenticity in order to please a committee of censors. This new law sends the signal that law-makers want to sanitise and silence the voice of ordinary Russians."
In recent years, Sharp adds, we have witnessed Russia's slow slide into authoritarianism, with impunity for the killers of Anna Politkovskaya, the prosecution of Pussy Riot, and the ban on discussing homosexuality. "These things have all squeezed the space for free speech in Russia. The government claims it is 'protecting and developing culture', but the effect will be to ensure that culture becomes staid, uniform and boring."
Google's Sochi Rainbow Doodle is Not All That
My social media stream is full of people praising Google for taking a 'brave' stand against the Russian state. Why? Well, today's Google Doodle is a rainbow themed Winter Olympics Graphic.
The Russian Government has recently passed blasphemy laws and other measures that restrict freedom of expression. They have also passed a 'gay propaganda' law which bans discussion of homosexuality around minors – an attack on the already embattled homosexual community in Russia.
Continue reading Google's Sochi Rainbow Doodle is Not All That
On Politics, Power and the Pulpit
Following the news that two members of Pussy Riot have been sent to remote penal colonies in Russia, UCB Radio asked me on to Paul Hammond's show on to discuss 'Politics and the Pulpit'.
Is a church an appropriate place for political messages? There are two aspects to this question. The first is whether activists should protest in a Church. Was the uninvited 'hooliganism' of Pussy Riot justified? I cited the example of Jesus himself, who caused havoc in the Temple in what was surely a political as well as spiritual protest (see, for example, Mark 11-15). Continue reading On Politics, Power and the Pulpit
Two Pussy Riot Convictions Upheld
Yesterday in a Moscow court-room, two of the three Pussy Riot convictions were upheld. Nadezha Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina will serve a two year sentence for hooliganism. The appeal of Yekaterina Samutsevich was granted and she was released.
The three members of the Pussy Riot punk art collective had previously been convicted on a charge of hooliganism, for a political protest staged in a Russian Orthodox Cathedral. The English PEN website has more detailed information and suggested actions to take in support of the two imprisoned women.
The Russia Legal Information Agency published a live-blog of the appeal hearing yesterday. One entry stands out:
13:11 [Prosecutor] Alexei Taratukhin is up. He negatively assessed the request for a special ruling to restrict President Putin from expressing sentiments about the trial. "Everyone has the freedoms of thought and speech. Should we force the highest official in the country to give up his opinion?"
(Emphasis added).
So: The prosecutor in a trial seeking to suppress protest cites the value of free expression, but only when applied to the President. The hypocrisy here is breathtaking. Continue reading Two Pussy Riot Convictions Upheld

Graffiti Abatement and Prevention

A city that has a lot of graffiti also ends up paying more taxes for the extra clean-up ...Continue Reading →

Our Elder Care Mediation Services enable elders and their families the
opportunity to identify and explore meaningful solutions in an efficient,
affordable manner. Below are a variety of topics that arise in a Elder
Care Mediation:
What Are the Benefits of Elder Care Mediation? As elders and their families
plan and make decisions for managing the changes that occur as our needs
change, there can be differences of opinion, conflict or simply confusion
over choices. Elder Care Mediation allows elders and their families to
communicate about changing needs in an informal, fair conversation.
What Does the Mediator Do? An Elder Care Mediator assists everyone in working
through the decision making process. Part communication coach, and sometimes
part referee, the mediator will help the mediation participants to express
and to be heard.
Who Is Our Mediator?
Ross Cerny has been a mediator for ten years after practicing law for over twenty
years. Born in Los Angeles, Ross graduated from UCLA and then from the
University of Puget Sound School of Law in Tacoma, Washington. He has
represented both sides in litigation of commercial, construction, real
estate and insurance disputes, personal injuries, and legal malpractice
claims. Ross was a principal in Michel, Cerny & Mirman. He continues
to consult to law firms.
In addition to specialized training in mediating eldercare issues, Ross
also has experience and advanced training in assisting communication among
people of different ages, backgrounds and cultures. He mediates under
contract with several governmental agencies for resolving discrimination
claims and other disputes in the workplace.
Together with other mediators, care managers and probate attorneys, Ross
was a founding member of Adult Resolutions & Mediation Services (ARMS),
now part of La Sierra University. He is a member of the Association for
Conflict Resolution, an affiliate member of the International Ombudsman
Association, and has volunteered with the ACE project, a program developed
by Wise & Healthy Aging and the Probate Division of the Los Angeles
Superior Court in which volunteers visit conservatees in residential care
facilities and monitor their care and safety. Ross is here to help.
What are the Costs of Mediation? Mediation is cost effective. We offer
hourly and package options. Fees are shared by all parties and only begin
once the mediation session begins. There is no fee for consultations prior
to the mediation session. Please
contact us to discuss your particular needs.

Boston Celtics forward Leon Powe has undergone surgery for a microfracture and torn ligaments in his left knee.
The team announced that team physician Dr. Brian McKeon performed the surgery Tuesday morning at New England Baptist Hospital.
No timetable has been set for Powe's return.
The third-year forward tore his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in the first quarter of the Celtics 118-115 win in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls on April 20. The defending NBA champions won the series in seven games.
Coach Doc Rivers said Powe hurt himself on a spin move but continued playing for three more minutes.
Powe averaged 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game this season.

The victim, S., was discovered on 28 January 2006 on board a ship for inland navigation working as a sailor. He did not have a working permit, and therefore was considered an illegal alien. The victim had worked as a sailor on the ship since 8 December 2005, and had been hired by Defendant 1, the ship owner.
The victim declared that he had been contracted through an official agency (Sanara). This agency was recruiting Romanian shipping crews to work in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The victim had an individual contract for embarkation, written in English. The victim stated that although he did not speak English, he understood that he would receive a monthly wage of EUR 750 plus board and lodging, and was also aware of the expected work load. These conditions made him decide to travel to Antwerp, Belgium. From the victim's testimony, it may be concluded that he had worked voluntarily and under the conditions he had agreed to. Furthermore, the victim was receiving even a higher salary than originally agreed upon, of EUR 900 a month. Defendant 1 stated that the victim worked as an independent worker. Every month the victim presented an invoice for his services to Defendant 1, and the money was paid accordingly.
Defendant 2, the captain of the ship, declared that the ship usually navigated only 5 days a week. He also stated that the victim was responsible for keeping the ship clean and in good condition, and for facilitating passage through the lock-gates. Working hours for the captain himself and the victim were not fixed, falling between 06:00 and 22:00, but often finishing earlier at around 19:30.
Both Defendants declared that the victim was provided the same meals as Defendant 2. The Court concluded that these statements were likely to be true, because the victim in his testimony did not complain about the meals.Show more

Defendant 1, a Portuguese trader; Defendant 2, a Portuguese servant; Defendant 3, a Portuguese manager; and Defendant 4, Batisoft Ltd. were charged with human trafficking under the following aggravating circumstances: the victim's particularly vulnerable position was abused; the activity had taken place on a continuous basis; and the crime was committed in the capacity of an association between 1 August 2008 and 13 May 2009, in Brugge, Sint-Joost-Ten-Node, and elsewhere in Belgium.
From the testimony of the victim and the conducted investigation, it was proven that employees at Batisoft Ltd. were not provided with safety clothes for their work. The victim also complained about excessive working hours. The victim did not have a legal permit to stay in Belgium, but was free to come and go.
The Court of Appeal ruled against the Court of First Instance, and reversed the guilty verdict of the defendants.Show more

The case concerns trafficking in Chinese nationals for the purpose of exploitation in the construction sector. Three defendants (one of them a restaurant owner and one a restaurant manager) were accused of exploiting Chinese nationals between June and July 2006.
The Chinese victims worked on a construction site (rebuilding a Chinese restaurant) six or seven days a week from 8 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 6 or 7 pm. At the time of the victims' testimonies to the police, they had not received any salary for their work and did not know what amount of payment they were to receive.
Defendant 1, the restaurant owner, had been responsible for the recruitment of the victims and for their transfer to the construction site. The victims did not have a working permit in Belgium and were only allowed to stay in the country for three months.Show more

In the beginning of 2007, the victim D.L. met the defendant A.G. She had just had a fight with another friend, and A.G. took D.L. into his care and offered her a place to stay. D.L. stayed there for a period of three months. After an initial amicable period, D.L. mentioned that she was looking for work. A.G. told her how lucrative prostitution was and D.L. agreed to work as a prostitute. A.G. drove D.L. to a bar where she worked as a waitress and "in the rooms." At the end of the night, the bar manager took half of D.L.'s earnings and A.G. took the other half. This situation continued for two months. D.L. said that she gave A.G. all of her earnings; she was scared of him and he threatened her with a handgun, threatened to kill her and to harm her family.
After two months, A.G. took D.L. to a "box" where she worked from 14:00 in the afternoon to 6:00 in the morning. A.G. became more demanding and regularly came by to take D.L.'s earnings. D.L. generated 1,000 to 1,500 euros per day. During this time, A.G. was also violent; he beat D.L. and raped her several times. D.L.'s brother attempted to take D.L. home, but A.G. threatened D.L.'s brother with a handgun and the brother left. One day, pretending she was going to work, D.L. made a phone call and her brother picked her up. She stayed in a shelter for battered women and brought charges against A.G.Show more

The defendant took the victim away from her family in Morocco with the pretext of marrying her in Belgium. The defendant also paid a sum to the victim's family which they interpreted to be the dowry.
Upon arrival in Belgium, the victim was forced to engage in sexual intercourse with the defendant, to work at the defendant's house and to serve him and his mother. The victim was also physically abused by the defendant.
When the defendant 'got tired' of the victim he threw her out on the street. With no resources, the victim was unable to go back to her family in Morocco.Show more

Sanctuary PromoSteve Marsi at . Comments
Derek does get shot, there is a spoiler video and you see him in the or being operated on by Teddy Hunt and Avery but all seems to be going well as far as being shot goes... He has a contract till season 8 and although it is rumored he and or Ellen may want to leave before that, Shonda seems like she is not letting go anytime soon. So chances are he will be in critical condition, and not die, but then again, Shonda has a way of messing with your mind and making you think one thing and then another. My guess is Owen, Bailey, Webber maybe but unlikely since you see him outside the hospital in another spoiler, possibly Alex, but we already know Mer and Christina are fine because we know that their surgical skills are put to the test in a very big way, so they won't be able to do anything to them... at least not in any major way, or pretty much until they very end. OMG I CANT WAIT! I am literally jumping up and down all morning :P
i realy hope it is not derek and i cant belive mer is pregnent cant wait to see the show.
I think that it will be the chief who gets shot because merideth would be really upset if he died and you can't tell who gets shot from the promo because they all wear white lab coats and that's where the bullet goes in the promo so whoever said that its not Derek because he's wearing a blue shirt not a white one, you're wrong!
I think the guy who lost his wife and tried to sue is the shooter and Derek is the one that gets shot
Pretty sure (from the rumours I heard), its the old chief who gets shot. He was close with Mer, (the reason why she would be freaking out). Its supposed to be a shocking death right? So my bet is that he dies...unfortunatly ): Oh and Mer is the one who is pregnant, and Lexi and Mark will probably be the ones that get back together, but Christina and Owen will break up, sadly ): I dunno, thats my guess, but Im so excited to see this, Im going to cry my eyes out though >.
the person who gets shot as a white shirt and Derek is wearing a blue shirt.
See at 0:18 of the clip the reaction of Meredith..
Derek wont die because they signed on for another year and the show would be over. i think derek will be shot and they will make it look like he is going to die and let it hang over the summer like they always do. I think that Bailey wont die because they need some shocking thing to happen and that would have been to obvious maybe teddy or someone who isn't crucial to the plot will die and it will take you by surprise.
I think the person who gets shot is Bailey's new love Ben (Jason George) Rhimes is stealing him from Grey's to star in a pilot series set to air in the Fall

The lives of most pro athletes is much different than you'd imagine. We see the full arenas on ESPNs and the mansions on MTV's Cribs, but there are scores of minor leagues and lesser circuits around the world featuring thousands of professional athletes trying to make a living off their physical abilities. For every LeBron James, there are ten Paul Shirleys out there on the courts of places like Lebanon or, worse, North Dakota. For every Roger Federer, there are ten guys shlepping around the world, playing in out-of-the-way tournaments in off-the-beaten-path cities in countries you might've never even heard of. Millionaires? Some of these guys are just trying to make the rent back home, if their paychecks even clear, that is.
(Congrats on winning the Tajikistan Open - here's a vase.)
One such guy is a pro tennis player by the name of Eric Butorac. He's the #45-ranked doubles player in the world, but that's an honorary that only gets one so far in places like Morocco. Like many globetrotting travelers on a budget, Butorac's got some crazy stories to tell.
Butorac is a Minnesota native who played his college tennis at Division III Gustavus Adophus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. Michael Rand of the MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE'S RANDBALL blog asked Butorac to relay some of his glamorous pro athlete lifestyle, and Butorac didn't disappoint.
[The hotel's] concierge directed me to this shady looking car in the parking lot. It wasn't like I had lots of options at this point, so I jumped in. Everything was going smoothly, this guy was surely not a cab driver, but maybe one of his friends who wanted to make a buck. As we were speeding down the road, we were pulled over by a policeman. I'm thinking great, hope this doesn't take too long and I miss my flight. The "cab driver" starts to panic and telling me what to stay to the policeman when he comes in.
Three awful tastes that do not in any way taste great together are Morocco, Moroccan policemen, and Moroccan taxicabs, but the whole story's got them in spades. Like any good traveler, we've got our own horror stories like the time we were followed and subsequently confronted by the East German Secret Police (Stasi) back in the '80s. What horrors have you experienced? Let the world know below.

There Will Be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth
"Hmmmmn.. hmmn.. hmmmmmmnn.. hmmmmmn."
All that was missing was the gnashing of teeth. I tossed and turned. This wouldn't bother me as much if the snoring of fellow hostelers hadn't become such a problem. When I'd wake up early to start my day, it wasn't for having had enough sleep, but because there was no point in trying anymore.
"hmmn.. hmmmmmn.. mmmmmmn."
I put in earbuds and opened the nature sounds app on my phone. The soothing sound of a waterfall. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"hmmmn.. hmmmn. hmmn."
I turned up the volume.
"HMMmm.. Hmmm. Hmmm."
The waterfall was now loud enough to cause premature hearing loss, but the moan was so guttural it vibrated the bed. I took out the earbuds. Not even Niagara could drown that out.
"Grit-grit-grit-grit", came from the other bottom bunk. I sat up. The moaner's girlfriend was a teeth grinder. What an adorable match made in hell.
"hmmn.. mmmmmnn.. hmmmmmn."
I fell back down on my pillow and stared at the ceiling. For hours, I slept in five to fifteen minute increments. My anger boiled. I hadn't had proper sleep in days. The snoring I had heard over the past couple of weeks was inhuman, but this combination of moaning and teeth grinding was a first for me.
"hmmn.. mmmmmnn.. hmmmmmn"
A snore came from the girl on the second top bunk.
"Are you f-ing kidding me!"
It was a hosteling trifecta. Too bad there weren't any more beds for a representative from the night terrors sleep group.
"hmmn.. mmmmmnn.. hmmmmmn."
The rage. Oh sweet mother of god, the rage.
"hmmn.. hmmn.. mmmmnn.. hmmmmmn"
"zzZZZzzz.. zZZ-hnk-glugk-ghlghl-pfaahh............. ZZZzzz"
My anger finally boiled over. I bolted up and shouted. "Oh my God! Shut The HELL UP!"
All three beds fell silent. "Oh man..." I thought. "What have I become?"
The moaner stirred on the bunk below me then sat up. Maybe wondering what just woke him. Immediately feeling remorse for my actions... I pretended to sleep.
He lit up the room with the flashlight on his phone then moved to the chair by the window. I fell asleep and woke up a half hour later. His flashlight lit the room. He hadn't moved. He just sat there, still and silent. Surely he knows he's a sleep moaner. Somebody must have told him by now. He was probably keeping himself awake to spare his fellow hostelers. I felt bad, I really did, but I also wanted to break his damn flashlight!! What is your problem?! There are people sleeping in here you jerk!! I covered my eyes with my pillow and tried to go back to sleep.
A few minutes went by and I was awake again. The only light outside the window came from a streetlamp glowing in the fog. A new foreign city for me to explore in a few hours, but I needed sleep and the moaner was rustling through his stuff. I noticed the shower running. The teeth grinder's bed was empty. Were they leaving because of me? I rolled over and went back to sleep with a pillow over my eyes.
I woke again from the sound of the door shutting. I looked around the room, their luggage was gone, beds empty. I may have slipped a little closer to becoming an old curmudgeon spending his final years yelling at kids to get off his lawn, but at least I could get three hours of uninterrupted sleep.
The next morning I asked the snorer if she knew anything about our noisy roommates.
"Do you know if they had to get up early for a flight or anything?" I asked.
"Yes," she said in a Brazilian accent. "Last night I hear them talking about having an early flight."
"Oh good," I said. "I thought maybe they left because of me. Did you hear him moaning in his sleep?" She shook her head.
"It was so loud it shook the whole bunk."
I pointed at the other bunk. "And then she started grinding her teeth," I said, leaving out the part about her snoring. "I yelled at them to shut the hell up, and then they got up and left. I feel bad, but I haven't had a good night's rest in..."
"Oh, is that what you yelled last night?" she said. "I just thought you had night terrors."

My First Day in Rome
After leaving Paris, I flew to Rome for the next stop on my grand finale tour of Europe. Had I realize how cheap it was to fly around Europe, I may have had a very different trip. My Paris to Rome ticket was just $21.80. Less than the cost of a 10-mile taxi ride in the states.
With my morning spent traveling, I didn't have time to properly see the major sites in Rome, so after settling into my hostel, I just went for a walk.
My first stop was the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, a church built inside the 4th century frigidarium of the Baths of Diocletian.
The Baths were used until the siege of Rome in 537, and about one thousand years later, a section of the remaining structure was adapted into this gorgeous church by Michelangelo.
Just inside the doors is this sculpture of St. John the Baptist by Igor Mitoraj.
Before building up the courage to leave everything behind to have an adventure, heading out my door for a walk only ever led to cornfields and dogs chasing me. Life is significantly more interesting now.
Rome was already worth the $21.80.
Not every turn on this rainy afternoon stroll led me to something as fantastic as a basilica designed by Michelangelo, but every turn led to something interesting and new to my eyes, which I suppose is the point.
Like this real life Geppetto I spotted working in a toy and puppet shop.
And, although under maintenance, the impressive Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous fountains in the world.
I didn't get to see it functioning in all its glory, but I found what the workers were doing to restore the 18th century fountain just as fascinating.
I walked miles of roads and alleys taking photos of anything that was unlike home. Like the numerous scooters, which unlike in Indiana, are respectable forms of transportation and not just vehicles for those with one too man DUIs.
The rain never let up, but I'll take a rainy afternoon with my camera in Rome over a sunny day at work.
As much as I didn't mind a little rain, I looked for every opportunity to duck out of it for a while...
Oh perfect... a covered porch.
This is Rome's Pantheon, built during the reign of Augustus from 27 BC to 14 AD.
It has been in continuous use throughout its entire history.
Just waiting to shelter me from the rain for a bit.
After a day that started with a 3 AM alarm clock and a rush to an airport in Paris, I found myself on the other side of Rome with a camera full of new memories and a long walk back to my hostel. I decided to call it a day and plan my day two in Vatican City.

A Liberal Tide? Immigration and asylum law and policy in Latin America
Over the past decade, a paradigm shift in migration and asylum law and policymaking appears to have taken place in Latin America. Does this apparent 'liberal tide' of new laws and policies suggest a new approach to the hot topics of migration and refugees in Latin America distinct from the regressive and restrictive attitudes on display in other parts of the world? The question is urgent not only for our understanding of contemporary Latin America but also as a means of reorienting the debate in the migration studies field towards the important developments currently taking place in the region and in other parts of the global south. This book brings together eight varied and vibrant new analyses by scholars from Latin America and beyond to form the first collection that describes and critically examines the new liberalism in Latin American law and policy on migration and refugees.
Obama's Washington : Political Leadership in a Partisan Era
This volume contains a vibrant set of insightful essays which examine the array of challenges facing the Obama administration, and the president himself. Topics range from how best to manage a ruptured economy to controlling the budget, the green agenda, foreign policy and the recalibration of US relations with the UK, along with sections on presidential leadership, elections, healthcare and food poverty. The common theme throughout is the issue of governing in a fractured, fractious political environment, and the difficulties that accompany this. Contributing scholars are based at both US and UK academic institutions, and so a range of informed perspectives are offered throughout this engaging work. Packed with detail and yet highly accessible, this volume will appeal to those interested in American politics, history and the political process. An ebook is available for this title as well as paperback.
Recasting Commodity and Spectacle in the Indigenous Americas
The chapters of this book are downloadable as PDFs from the Institute of Latin American Studies website: http://ilas.sas.ac.uk/publications/open-access-house-publications/recasting-commodity-and-spectacle-indigenous-americas Indigenous artists frequently voice concerns over the commodification of their cultures, a process acutely felt by those living with the consequences of colonialism. This timely book, which features colour illustrations throughout, examines the ways in which contemporary indigenous peoples in different parts of the Americas have harnessed performance practices to resist imposed stereotypes and shape their own complex identities. Essays by leading academics and practitioners show the vibrancy of a wide array of indigenous arts and cultural events in the USA, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Belize. As well as analysing performance idioms, the authors trace the circulation of creative products and practices as commodities, as cultural capital and/or as heritage. Making reference to aesthetic forms, intellectual property and political empowerment, these essays weigh the impact of music, festivities, film, photography, theatre and museum installations among diverse audiences and discuss ways in which spectacles of cultural difference are remodelled in the hands of indigenous practitioners. An ebook is available for this title as well as paperback.
Report on the state of UK-based research on Latin America and the Caribbean 2014
Read the report on the Institute of Latin American Studies website: http://ilas.sas.ac.uk/publications/report-state-uk-based-research-latin-america-and-caribbean This report looks at how the UK is responding to and engaging with new developments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It addresses in detail the importance of carrying out research on the LAC area, new developments affecting Latin American and Caribbean studies in the UK and the scope and patterns of the research being carried out. The size and composition of the research community are profiled, along with institutional affiliations and research concentrations. Findings are presented on the shifting institutional commitments to research into Latin America and the Caribbean and the challenges faced by the LAC research community, including trends in funding for LAC research, the impact of research assessment exercises and constraints on dissemination and publication.
Democracy in Mexico: Attitudes and perceptions of citizens at national and local level
Democracy in Mexico. Attitudes and perceptions of citizens at national and local level, offers an important contribution to one of the more complex and multifaceted political processes of recent decades in Latin America: Mexico's democratisation at the national and subnational levels. The chapters – on topics including the quality of democracy, political participation and insecurity, amongst others – have been researched and written by a group of academics from the University of Salamanca and El Colegio de México, with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID) and the Mexican Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT). Importantly, the volume is based on two surveys carried out throughout Mexico in 2009 and in 2011. The result of this period of collaboration is one of the few existing studies on democratic processes in the Mexican states, which we hope will provoke an important debate within the academic community. Salvador Martí i Puig is a permanent lecturer at the University of Salamanca and member of the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB). Reynaldo Yunuen Ortega Ortíz is the director of the journal Foro Internacional and lecturer-researcher in the Centre of International Studies at the Colegio de México. Mª Fernanda Somuano Ventura is academic coordinator of the Master's in Political Science and lecturer-researcher in the Centre of International Studies at the Colegio de México. Claire Wright is a lecturer and researcher in Political Science at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in Mexico. An ebook is available for this title as well as paperback.
Fifty Years On: The Cuban Missile Crisis Revised and Reinterpreted
On the 50th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis Mark White re-examines the most dangerous episode in the history of the Cold War. Utilising declassified materials, he provides a fresh interpretation of the roles play by John Kennedy's team of advisers. In particular, the contributions made by Robert McNamara and Robert Kennedy are re-evaluated.
Broken Government? American Politics in the Obama Era
Barack Obama's election as president in 2008 generated widespread hope that the United States was entering a new era whereby government, in a reversal of Ronald Reagan's famous dictum, would be the solution to the nation's manifold problems amid the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The Obama election slogan of "Yes We Can" seemed to voice a hope that new leadership would put right what had gone wrong with America. Within a short time, however, "Yes We Can" gave way to "No We Can't," as America's government became enmeshed in gridlock and political polarisation. This led to a debate as to whether American government was broken and in need of substantial procedural and political reform. This volume, with contributors drawn from both the US and UK, offers an international perspective on one of the most important political questions of our time. They review the causes of America's governmental dysfunction and assess what can be done to put matters right.
Traslados/Translations: Essays on Latin America in Honour of Jason Wilson
This volume is an investigation of some of the enduring preoccupations of one of the UK's foremost Latin Americanists. The essays, by a distinguished group of scholars including former students, colleagues, and intellectual interlocutors, reflect a number of Jason Wilson's many research interests. They continue conversations with and develop lines of enquiry fostered by his work in areas as diverse as travel, translation, cultural and intellectual history, literary and visual culture. At the same time, the essays address a wide selection of important topics in Latin American Studies and will contribute to our understanding of many different aspects of the region's culture and history: for example, by engaging with recent historical re-evaluations of Alexander von Humboldt or by amplifying the emerging scholarship on 'post-conflict' visual representations of Argentina, or by enriching our knowledge of the works of writers such as Jorge Luis Borges and Alejandra Pizarnik. The contributions to the collection cohere in their variegated but consistent engagement with concepts of traslado or translation, whether these are interpreted as material, cultural, intertextual, or generic processes of transit and transference. Claire Lindsay is Senior Lecturer in Latin American literature at University College London.

This book examines the changes, continuities and contradictions characterizing labour politics in Mexico since the 1980s. As a consequence of market-liberalizing reforms and historic shifts in government policy toward organized labour, the labour movement has declined substantially in size, bargaining strength and political influence. Electoral democratization has expanded individual workers' choices at the ballot box and increased political pluralism in the labour movement. Some unions have also bolstered their power resources by forging transnational alliances with counterparts in Canada and the United States. On the whole, however, democratization has had remarkably little impact on the state-labour relations regime institutionalized following the Mexican Revolution of 1910–20. This legal regime both underpins the position of unrepresentative union leaders and grants government officials highly discretionary control over the formation of unions, the election of union leaders and unions' actions. The combination of weakened labour organizations, unaccountable union leaders and strong government controls fundamentally constrains workers' capacity to defend their interests. This state of affairs — and especially the failure to enact progressive labour law reform since democratic regime change in 2000 — limits democracy and imposes heavy costs on both unionized workers and Mexican society as a whole. By engaging debates concerning organized labour's role in democratization, and by demonstrating the essential compatibility between market-focused economic policies and state-labour practices rooted in Mexico's authoritarian past, this book contributes to a broader assessment of organized labour's role in contemporary Latin America.

Quebec and the Heritage of Franco-America
This study marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec and consists of six essays by a team of contributors drawn from Quebec, the USA, France and the UK. It explores the concept of Franco-American heritage as not a modern remnant of a lost French North American empire but a thriving entity that grew in both vitality and geographical spread in the centuries after the Conquest of 1759. Two things are fundamental to the essays in the collection: Franco-America's heritage was neither French nor American but something different and unique from both; and its geographical extent spread far beyond Quebec province, where it was born, and penetrated into large parts of so-called Anglo-America – in other words it was continental rather than provincial in nature.
