A comprehensive, comparative, and regionwide perspective on Latin American economic development spanning the last twenty-five years.Latin America&’s economic performance is…
often depicted as a long sequence of repeated failures, including its contribution to global financial crises as well as its slow growth and intractable inequalities. Its experience in the twenty-first century, however, reveals considerable and underappreciated successes. Understanding those successes—as well as setbacks—is critical to understanding both the region&’s prospects and the rapidly changing global economic order.Jeff Dayton-Johnson&’s Understanding Latin America&’s Economy in the Twenty-First Century provides a comprehensive, comparative, and region-wide perspective on Latin American economic development that spans the last quarter century.The book is organized in three parts. The first introduces and summarizes Latin America&’s economic history over the long term (the past five centuries) and the immediate past (the last half of the twentieth century). The second analyzes economic growth during the twenty-first century, emphasizing the role of China&’s roaring demand for Latin American commodity exports. The third part assesses three fundamental characteristics of Latin American economic development in this century: the pros and cons of the commodity boom, the reasons behind the surprising decline in economic inequality, and the emergence of left-leaning and center-right governments that opted for pragmatic and orthodox macro policies mixed with innovative antipoverty programs.This is an economics book for specialists and non-specialists alike, leaning heavily on economic concepts and models while introducing and explaining its subject for a broad readership. It is aimed at undergraduate and masters level students in Latin American studies, international relations, development studies, political science, economics, and other social sciences as well as readers beyond academia who are eager to understand Latin America and the global economy.

This book presents the result of an innovative challenge, to create a systematic literature overview driven by machine-generated content. Questions…
and related keywords were prepared for the machine to query, discover, collate and structure by Artificial Intelligence (AI) clustering. The AI-based approach seemed especially suitable to provide an innovative perspective as the topics are indeed both complex, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, for example, climate, planetary and evolution sciences. Springer Nature has published much on these topics in its journals over the years, so the challenge was for the machine to identify the most relevant content and present it in a structured way that the reader would find useful. The automatically generated literature summaries in this book are intended as a springboard to further discoverability. They are particularly useful to readers with limited time, looking to learn more about the subject quickly and especially if they are new to the topics. Springer Nature seeks to support anyone who needs a fast and effective start in their content discovery journey, from the undergraduate student exploring interdisciplinary content to Master- or PhD-thesis developing research questions, to the practitioner seeking support materials, this book can serve as an inspiration, to name a few examples. It is important to us as a publisher to make the advances in technology easily accessible to our authors and find new ways of AI-based author services that allow human-machine interaction to generate readable, usable, collated, research content.

the 20th century tells her remarkable story: her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage.&“My story is not only my story. It&’s about our past, my country, how it was, what it became, what happened to the people, to artists.&” What would happen to a country&’s biggest pop star if religious extremists took control? In the wake of Iran&’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, singer Googoosh found out. She was ordered by her government to never sing again, and for twenty years, she didn&’t...until she did. Now, in this lyrical and moving memoir, pop superstar Googoosh unveils her unforgettable journey. From her difficult upbringing in Iran&’s tumultuous 1950s and &’60s to her stardom in the &’70s, she reveals what it was like to reach the peak of her career just as the 1979 Islamic Revolution swept the country. Seemingly overnight, she went from being on magazine covers, at film premieres and fashion shows, and constantly on the radio, to targeted by religious clerics. What followed is a harrowing tale of oppression, intimidation, and exile. After more than twenty years—forbidden to sing or speak out—she found her voice at the turn of the millennium, once again on the international stage. Now, inspired by the brave women of Iran on the front lines fighting for their freedoms, Googoosh finally tells her full story, and with it, the story of a country once again on the brink.

&“Vélez stuns with her corporeal descriptions and baroque literary allusions. This is a knockout.&”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)From NYC-based Colombian writer…
Fátima Vélez comes debut novel Galapagos, following a group of bohemian artists who are dying of AIDS as they embark on a surreal final voyage through the Galapagos Islands, their bodies cloaked in the skins of the dead.Lorenzo is a painter who doesn&’t paint. He spends his days watching Jeanne Moreau films, luxuriating in his partner Juan B&’s bed, and swapping letters with his lovers. Then, one day, his nail falls off. Then another nail, then all of them. Thus begins a journey of decomposition that carries him from Colombia to Paris, from Paris to the French countryside, and on a final journey to the Galápagos Archipelago. As they cruise the islands on a custom-made ship, Lorenzo and his friends and lovers drink, swap stories, and feast gluttonously, even as their bodies succumb to an unspeakable disease. In this contemporary plague novel, rife with pathos and humor, ailing bodies are torn between desire and decay, lust and friendship, creativity and destruction. Vélez revolutionizes the novel form, pushing language to its extreme as she tests the limits of how we understand illness, sexuality, the body, and what it means to make art in the face of our own mortality.

From &“edge-of-your-seat suspense&” (Booklist) author Kit Frick comes an insidious thriller about four estranged friends trapped in a powerful family&’s…
deadly games at a luxe estate in the Italian countryside. It&’s been five years since heiress Clare Monroe tragically died on New Year&’s Eve at her family&’s opulent Italian palazzo. Since that time, her college friends have harbored a dark secret—their lies and betrayals led to Clare&’s untimely death. What happened that fateful night was a horrible accident, but Luca, Harper, Sirina, and David are guilty, nonetheless. And their desperate decision to conceal the truth destroyed their once-close bond. Now, the estranged friends are each the recipient of an invitation from the Monroes to return to the lakeside palazzo for a long-overdue memorial for Clare. Accepting the Monroes&’ invitation means playing with fire, but they can hardly refuse. Luca, Harper, Sirina, and David have barely settled into their idyllic accommodations on Lake Como before someone at the memorial party begins targeting them. Haunted by little &“gifts&” left in their rooms, taunting notes, and the unshakable sense of being watched, it soon becomes clear that someone on the guest list knows the whole truth about the night Clare died—and the secrets her friends have been keeping. Nothing is as it seems at the palazzo on the lake, and under their tormentor&’s vengeful gaze, their secrets—and their lives—are in danger.

The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study of constitutional law. It aims…
to provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion of new developments in the field, both in Europe and beyond. This book is devoted to an exploration of varieties of constitutionalism. As the aspirations, substance and implementation of constitutions are not uniform across jurisdictions, including on account of the influence of national political and social developments, there is a concomitant need for scholars to reckon with the ideological choices that have been made and decide, with due care, on the adjective(s) to be paired with the notion of constitutionalism that best capture those choices. At the same time, there is a growing realisation that liberal constitutionalism may not be the only normatively defensible form of constitutionalism, while this form is not necessarily internally homogenous. The chapters in this edited volume engage with questions pertaining to the identification, core features and appeal of diverse varieties of constitutionalism as well as their interrelationship, including by way of the devising of taxonomies. The collection will be of special interest to those working in the fields of constitutional theory and comparative constitutional studies. Maartje De Visser is Professor at Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University. Ingrid Leijten is Professor at Tilburg Law School, Department of Public Law and Governance.

on transnationalism today.Are we living in a transnational world? The 900 percent rise in the use of &“transnationalism&” in publications since 1995 testifies to a defining phenomenon. International migration has increased two-thirds since 1980, and the global circulation of capital, media, and culture has intensified, provoking nationalist political backlash worldwide. This collection of studies on exile, social science, indigeneity, gender activism, music and dance, gangs, sex work, narcofiction, and cinema examines how transnational forces influence racial difference, national identity, immigrant exclusion, state power, and cultural expression in the Americas. It explores how the physical and symbolic movement of humans and their artifacts shapes ideas and challenges accepted notions of national and conceptual boundaries among them. By addressing the impact of digital technologies on spatialization, by challenging emerging conventions on transnationalism, and by fostering interdisciplinary exchange, the book enriches our understanding of transnational lives and provides tools for exploring the transnational turn.

Americans in a way that is engaging, accessible, and useful for higher education classrooms.Native Americans continue to experience significant challenges, including health, economic, educational, technological, and social disparities. Many of these disparities are linked to trauma, both historical and on-going. Trauma and disparities, however, do not fully reflect Native American experiences. Resilience, resistance, and adapting traditional values and beliefs to contemporary circumstances have facilitated Native American continuity, despite adverse circumstances. Incorporating updated theoretical and empirical literature as well as demographic statistics and information from key new resources such as the 2022 federal report on Native American boarding schools and the federal inquiries into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), this book also has fully revised and expanded content on the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) as well as interviews with ten additional practitioners, scholars, and activists describing their perspectives and what they see as major challenges and innovations.With new material on the COVID-19 pandemic as well as two new chapters on the multiple manifestations of violence and applications of decolonization, this book is of relevance to all BSW and MSW courses and can be used in a variety of related disciplines, including counselling, nursing, psychology, and education.
