This book explores the complex interplay between natural resource disputes and military forces in Mexico. It examines the ongoing impact of militarism and extractivism under capitalism, focusing on how these forces affect indigenous communities and the broader socio-political landscape. Through a collection of essays, the book analyzes the role of the military in facilitating large-scale development projects, often at the expense of local populations. It also considers the challenges of democratic transitions in Latin America, highlighting the persistent influence of military forces in governmental affairs. The work aims to shed light on the socio-economic and environmental costs of resource extraction, while advocating for the protection of natural and community rights. Intended for a scholarly audience, it provides an in-depth look at the intersection of natural resource management, military involvement, and democratic governance in Mexico and Latin America.

Estas 160 páginas resumen la historia de la violencia colombiana, desde las guerras civiles del siglo XIX, la Guerra de los Mil Días, la Violencia entre liberales y conservadores y el surgimiento de las Farc y demás grupos guerrilleros, hasta los distintos procesos de desmovilización y la negociación con las Farc, la cual llevó a la entrega de las armas y la disolución del movimiento insurgente más antiguo y poderoso de América Latina, hoy convertido en un partido que sueña con participar en política y vivir en la legalidad.En Adiós a la Guerra se señalan los hitos y los personajes que han hecho de Colombia el país que es hoy; se incluyen testimonios de víctimas de todas las violencias; se describen los momentos importantes del proceso de negociación con las Farc ; y se presenta un resumen de los Acuerdos. Escrito con rigor y pasión, este libro de Patricia Lara hace un llamado al nuevo Presidente para que no deje morir esta paz naciente, conseguida con tanto esfuerzo y dolor, después de dejar 8 millones de víctimas y de haber sembrado el país, durante más de 70 años de guerra, con centenas de miles de cadáveres. Sí, es muy grande la responsabilidad que, según la autora, el nuevo Presidente tiene entre sus manos.

"Paramilitarism in the Balkans' analyses the origins and manifestations of paramilitary violence in three neighbouring Balkan countries - Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania - after the First World War. It shows the role of paramilitarism in internal and external policies in all three states, focusing on the main actors and perpetrators of paramilitary violence, their social backgrounds, motivations, and future career trajectories. Dmitar Tasic places the region into the broader European context of booming paramilitarism that came as the result of the first global conflict, dissolution of old empires, the creation of nation-states, and simultaneous revolutions. While paramilitarism in most post-Great War European states was the product of violence of the First World War and brutalization which societies of both victorious and defeated countries went through, paramilitarism in the Balkans was closely connected with the already existing traditions originating from the period of armed struggle against Ottoman rule, and state and nation building projects of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Paramilitary traditions were so strong that in all subsequent crises and military conflicts in the Balkans the legacy of paramilitarism remained alive and present."
