Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean is no longer
perpetrated primarily by states against their citizens, but by a
variety of state and non-state actors struggling to control
resources, territories, and populations. This book examines
violence at the subnational level to illuminate how practices of
violence are embedded within subnational configurations of space
and clientelistic networks. In societies shaped by centuries of
violence and exclusion, inequality and marginalization prevail at
the same time that democratization and neoliberalism have
decentralized power to regional and local levels, where democratic
and authoritarian practices coexist. Within subnational arenas,
unique configurations - of historical legacies, economic
structures, identities, institutions, actors, and clientelistic
networks - result in particular patterns of violence and
vulnerability that are often strikingly different from what is
portrayed by aggregate national-level statistics. The chapters of
this book examine critical cases from across the region, drawing on
new primary data collected in the field to analyze how a range of
political actors and institutions shape people's lives and to
connect structural and physical forms of violence.
Gives a truly comprehensive breadth of coverage of every aspect of
musical theatre, from its history to how it is produced to how it
is experienced. This makes for an ideal primer for any aspect of
the subject. Takes a deliberately global approach, citing at least
one non-Western case study in each chapter, in keeping with the
global outlook of much contemporary teaching and scholarship.
Musical Theatre is one of the main growth areas in Theatre and
Performance, with dedicated conservatories, departments and a core
place on all performing arts degrees.
This handbook is the first to provide a systematic investigation of
the various roles of producers in commercial and not-for-profit
musical theatre. Featuring fifty-one essays written by
international specialists in the field, it offers new insights into
the world of musical theatre, its creation and its promotion. Key
areas of investigation include the lives and works of producers
whose work is part of a US and worldwide musical theatre legacy, as
well as the largely critically-neglected role of the musical
theatre producer in the making, marketing, and performance of
musicals. Also explored are the shifting roles of producers in
musical theatre and their popular portrayals, offering a
reader-friendly collection for fans, scholars, students, and
practitioners of musical theatre alike.
Coalitions across Borders shows how social movements have
cooperated and conflicted as they work to develop a transnational
civil society in response to perceived threats of
neoliberalism--free trade, privatization, structural adjustment,
and unbridled corporate power. The authors explore the processes of
transnational mobilization, discussing the motivations and methods
of cross-border cooperation as well as the conflicts that have
affected movement abilities to promote social change. The original
case studies included in this volume represent a diverse cross
section of transnational movement coalitions--from various regions
and nations, representing different movement interests, and
addressing a range of economic injustices. Coalitions across
Borders reveals the many social conditions that enable and
constrain the formation of transnational civil societies and the
ways in which movement actors manage conflicts as they work toward
common goals.

Many historians and political scientists argue that ties between
Canada and Latin America have been weak and intermittent because of
lack of mutual interest and common objectives. Has this record of
diverging paths changed as Canada has attempted to expand its
economic and diplomatic ties with the region? Has Canada become an
imperialist power? Canada's Past and Future in Latin America
investigates the historical origins of and more recent developments
in Canadian foreign policy in the region. It offers a detailed
evaluation of the Harper and Trudeau governments' approaches to
Latin America, touching on political diplomacy, bilateral
development cooperation, and civil society initiatives. Leading
scholars of Canada-Latin America relations offer insights from
unique perspectives on a range of issues, such as the impact of
Canadian mining investment, security relations, democracy
promotion, and the changing nature of Latin American migration to
Canada. Drawing on archival research, field interviews, and primary
sources, Canada's Past and Future in Latin America advances our
understanding of Canadian engagement with the region and evaluates
options for building stronger ties in the future.
This edition of Canada Among Nations over the last year and
projects forward into the year 2022. 2021 was a year of challenges
for Canada and a watershed in its engagement with the global
political economy. Beset by a pandemic, hemmed-in by an
America-first administration in Washington and punitive
recrimination from a Chinese government with global ambitions, the
shrinking horizons of a foreign economic policy premised on liberal
internationalism and multilateral institutionalism have sapped
Canada's global ambitions.

Can North America survive as a region in light of the political
turbulence provoked by the global economic crisis? Or have regional
integration and collaboration reached a plateau beyond which
disintegration is likely? In North America in Question, leading
analysts from Canada, the United States, and Mexico provide
theoretically innovative and rich empirical reflections on current
challenges sweeping the continent and on the faltering political
support for North American regionalism. This collection begins by
reviewing the recent trajectories and events that have undermined
North America's trilateral relationship, then addresses concerns
that go beyond NAFTA and economic issues, including labour,
immigration, energy, the environment, quality of citizenship,
borders, women's and civil society struggles, and democratic
deficits. Although demonstrating that many informal dimensions of
North American integration continue to flourish, the contributors
assess whether the future will hold greater economic instability,
security crises, and emerging bilateral relationships.
