UCRANIA. LOS IMPERIOS CONTRAATACAN
by Víctor De Currea-LugoUn acercamiento a la guerra actual entre Ucrania y Rusia desde el periodismo. En un mundo polarizado y, vale decirlo, poco informado, hay una tendencia a explicar los conflictos armados a través de una única causa o negando sus aristas y matices. Este trabajo invita a la mirada compleja de una guerra con implicaciones globales de orden social, económico y político. Las diferentes piezas del rompecabezas ucraniano incluyen: la ocupación rusa, la guerra de Donbás, el persistente pensamiento imperial, las formaciones neonazis, el derecho internacional fallido, la expansión de la OTAN y la crisis humanitaria más grande de Europa en décadas. En este libro los lectores encontrarán información que el autor recogió de primera mano durante abril de 2022, a pocos meses de haberse iniciado la invasión, en un intento de entender la guerra entre Ucrania y Rusia al verla personalmente, al igual que lo ha hecho con otros conflictos
Ucronías Argentinas: Diez historias que pudieron haber cambiado la historia
by Eduardo Blanco Javier Aguirre Fernando SánchezHistoria contrafáctica con el humor de la revista Barcelona. ¿Quéhubiera pasado si....? Quiénes mejor que tres de los creadores de la revista Barcelona paramanipular descaradamente la historia argentina y sus consecuencias. ¿Quéhabría pasado si Carlos Gardel hubiese sobrevivido al accidente de aviónen Medellín? ¿Acaso el Zorzal habría ganado fama de fracasado y mufa? ¿Yqué habría pasado si los negros no hubieran sido exterminados delterritorio argentino? ¿Y si el gol con la mano de Maradona a losingleses hubiera sido anulado? ¿Y si Manuel Belgrano hubiese creado labandera patria un día en que caían soretes de punta?«Este libro se pregunta "¿Qué hubiera pasado si..?" por ejemplo, siBergoglio hubiera sido elegido Papa, si Evita se hubiera vuelto gorila,o si los Montoneros hubieran ganado. A primera vista, parece un librointeligente y divertido. Y ciertamente lo es. Pero en una segundalectura se revela también absolutamente esclarecedor. Ocurre queefectivamente Evita fue gorila, Bergoglio fue elegido Papa y losMontoneros ganaron (solo que todavía no nos dimos cuenta)». DamiánTabarovsky
Uf, ¿y para qué votar?
by Benito Taibo Rosa Beltrán Antonio Malpica Jorge Vargas B.¿Te choca la política? ¿Acabas de cumplir 18? ¿Para qué te sirve la credencial de elector además de que te dejen entrar a los antros? El Instituto Nacional Electoral ha reunido a entrañables escritores que te cuentan en este libro sus experiencias con la democracia, cómo ha influido en su vida cotidiana y en su forma de ver el mundo, pues la idea de pactar entre todos funciona en el día a día y desde tiempos ancestrales. Mucha gente se siente decepcionada, hay quienes consideran no votar y regalan su poder de decisión a los demás. Pero la desesperanza te inmoviliza, y es justo ahí donde lo que no nos gusta surge con más fuerza. Además, para lograr lo que queremos en la vida personal se necesitan buenas condiciones en la vida pública. Por eso es vital que ejerzas tu derecho a decidir. Que tu voz sea escuchada. Sobretodo tomando en cuenta lo que de veras importa en la comunidad. Participar vale la pena porque significa apostarle a solucionar nuestros conflictos y porque la voluntad es el motor de la historia. No te dejes llevar por el sentimentalismo ni por la víscera entre bandos, aun a pesar de que sea precisamente ese fuego emotivo al que por desgracia se le arroja más combustible en casi todas las campañas electorales. Tampoco te apantalles con los anuncios que apuestan por el miedo y el desencanto, ni siquiera por los que pretenden ser inspiradores. La reflexión es lo que cuenta. Ilustraciones de Santiago Solís
UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search for Alien Life Here—and Out There
by Garrett M. Graff&“One of the rare books on the topic that manages to be both entertaining and factually grounded.&” —The Wall Street Journal From the bestselling author of Raven Rock, The Only Plane in the Sky, and Watergate (finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in history) comes the first comprehensive and eye-opening exploration of our government&’s decades-long quest to solve one of humanity&’s greatest mysteries: Are we alone in the universe?For as long as we have looked to the skies, the question of whether life on earth is the only life to exist has been at the core of the human experience, driving scientific debate and discovery, shaping spiritual belief, and prompting existential thought across borders and generations. It&’s one of our culture&’s favorite conversations, and yet, the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence has been largely banished to the realm of fantasy and conspiracy. Now, for the first time, the full story of our national obsession with UFOs—and the covert search by scientists, the United States military, and the CIA for proof of alien life—is told by bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Garrett M. Graff in a deeply reported and researched history. It begins in 1947, when two headline-making sightings of strange flying objects prompt the US Air Force&’s newly formed Department of Defense to create a series of secret programs to determine how unidentified phenomena may pose a threat to national security. Over the next half-century, as the atomic age gives way to the space race and the Cold War, the mission continues, bringing together an unexpected group of astronomers, military officials, civilian contactees, and true believers who bring us closer, then further, then closer again, to answering one of our most enduring questions: What exactly is out there? Drawing from original archival research, declassified documents, and interviews with senior intelligence and military officials, Graff brings readers a story that&’s &“Loads of fun…[a] fascinating deep dive down the rabbit hole&” (Publishers Weekly).

UFOs, ETs, and Alien Abductions: A Scientist Looks at the Evidence
by Don Donderi“A splendid book compiling the extensive evidence justifying his courageous and clear conclusion that some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft.” —Stanton T. Friedman, author of Flying Saucers and SciencePsychologist and researcher Don Donderi examines the evidence and research from the past several decades on the changing nature of UFOs. He looks at why the scientific establishment takes a dim view of UFOs and abduction evidence and examines how the US government has collected and suppressed UFO evidence.UFOs, ETs, and Alien Abductions is a wide-ranging examination of all things off-planet that falls into three sections . . . UFOs: evidence and belief between 1947 through 1965 and Cold War mysteriesThe changing nature of UFO phenomenon from 1965 to the present, which makes the case for the existence of humanoid crew members seen in and around landed UFOs. This section also examines six well-documented abduction cases, and includes the author detailing his own research involvement with the evidence. He refutes the belief that all abductees are mentally disturbed and that a psychological disturbance explains the experience.The third section is devoted to a very meaty and controversial analysis of science, politics, and UFOs.“An excellent study of the UFO phenomenon and the scientific community’s reaction to it.” —David M. Jacobs, author of The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda“A bold summation of the case for extraterrestrial UFOs, which explains why science has rejected these data and tells us how the UFO phenomenon is potentially important for all mankind.” —Mark Rodeghier, president and scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies
Uganda (The Evolution of Africa's Major Nations)
by Lauri KubuitsileUganda is sometimes called the "land of lakes," because almost one-third of its territory is covered by water. The greatest Ugandan body of water is Lake Victoria, the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. The world's longest river, the Nile, also has its source in Uganda. Uganda has faced a great deal of turmoil since becoming independent in 1962. During the rule of Idi Amin in the 1970s, some 300,000 Ugandans--mostly from the Acholi and Lano tribes--were massacred. Political instability and unrest in the country continued into the next decade. However, since the 1986 election of Yoweri Museveni, Uganda has made great progress socially and economically. In recent years the country has forged closer ties with the United States and other foreign nations.
Uganda
by Thomas P OfcanskyUganda, a landlocked nation in East Africa, was known during colonial times as the "Pearl of Africa," largely because of its pleasant climate and rich land. For most of the postindependence period, however, Uganda was one of the most brutal and violent nations in Africa. In 1986, a new government seized power, promising to restore internal stability and economic prosperity. Since then, Uganda has gradually become a model for other African states struggling to improve the lives of their citizens. In this broad survey, Thomas P. Ofcansky examines the political, economic, and social themes that have shaped Ugandan history. He inspects the impact of British colonial rule, investigates the emergence of the independence movement after World War II, and analyzes the factors that contributed to the collapse and decay of Ugandan society after Idi Amin's seizure of power in 1971. The author then explores the successes, failures, and prospects of Uganda's current government. In his conclusion, Ofcansky considers the difficulties facing a nation divided by ethnic, religious, and regional cleavages and argues that Ugandan leaders must work to establish a society in which all Ugandans benefit or face the possibility of a return to anarchy.

Ugliness and Judgment: On Architecture in the Public Eye
by Timothy HydeA novel interpretation of architecture, ugliness, and the social consequences of aesthetic judgmentWhen buildings are deemed ugly, what are the consequences? In Ugliness and Judgment, Timothy Hyde considers the role of aesthetic judgment—and its concern for ugliness—in architectural debates and their resulting social effects across three centuries of British architectural history. From eighteenth-century ideas about Stonehenge to Prince Charles’s opinions about the National Gallery, Hyde uncovers a new story of aesthetic judgment, where arguments about architectural ugliness do not pertain solely to buildings or assessments of style, but intrude into other spheres of civil society.Hyde explores how accidental and willful conditions of ugliness—including the gothic revival Houses of Parliament, the brutalist concrete of the South Bank, and the historicist novelty of Number One Poultry—have been debated in parliamentary committees, courtrooms, and public inquiries. He recounts how architects such as Christopher Wren, John Soane, James Stirling, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe have been summoned by tribunals of aesthetic judgment. With his novel scrutiny of lawsuits for libel, changing paradigms of nuisance law, and conventions of monarchical privilege, he shows how aesthetic judgments have become entangled in wider assessments of art, science, religion, political economy, and the state.Moving beyond superficialities of taste in order to see how architectural improprieties enable architecture to participate in social transformations, Ugliness and Judgment sheds new light on the role of aesthetic measurement in our world.
The Ugly American
by William J. Lederer Eugene BurdickA novel that exposes the opportunism, incompetence and cynical deceit that have become imbedded in the fabric of our top-level diplomats.
Ugly Freedoms
by Elisabeth R. AnkerIn Ugly Freedoms Elisabeth R. Anker reckons with the complex legacy of freedom offered by liberal American democracy, outlining how the emphasis of individual liberty has always been entangled with white supremacy, settler colonialism, climate destruction, economic exploitation, and patriarchy. These “ugly freedoms” legitimate the right to exploit and subjugate others. At the same time, Anker locates an unexpected second type of ugly freedom in practices and situations often dismissed as demeaning, offensive, gross, and ineffectual but that provide sources of emancipatory potential. She analyzes both types of ugly freedom at work in a number of texts and locations, from political theory, art, and film to food, toxic dumps, and multispecies interactions. Whether examining how Kara Walker’s sugar sculpture A Subtlety, Or the Marvelous Sugar Baby reveals the importance of sugar plantations to liberal thought or how the impoverished neighborhoods in The Wire blunt neoliberalism’s violence, Anker shifts our perspective of freedom by contesting its idealized expressions and expanding the visions for what freedom can look like, who can exercise it, and how to build a world free from domination.

UK Banks and the Lessons of the Great Financial Crisis (Building a Sustainable Political Economy: SPERI Research & Policy)
by Adam BarberThis book demonstrates the variation in the reaction of the UK’s ‘big four’ banks – RBS, Lloyds, Barclays and HSBC – to the Great Financial Crisis 2008. Over a decade on from the financial crisis, this book asks: have banks in the UK learned lessons from the crisis? Bank learning in the UK after the Great Financial Crisis is something we need to know more about. Whether banks are now safer and more likely to aid rather than disrupt the economy are important questions of social relevance. Through a documentary analysis of Britain’s ‘big four’ banks in the post-crisis decade (2008–2018), this book demonstrates that while some institutions have become more risk averse and display positive signs of learning, others have shown little evidence of change. The book uses notions of agency, path dependency and structural competitive pressures to explain these inter-bank variations of behaviour. This book contributes to wider post-crash structural debates about growth, markets, and regulatory reform, showing how the agency of banks has played a vital role in driving the reform process.
The UK Challenge to Europeanization: The Persistence of British Euroscepticism

UK Communication Strategies for Afghanistan, 2001–2014
by Thomas W. CawkwellThe war in Afghanistan came to an end in 2014 after nearly thirteen years of conflict. Throughout that period, British officials have described UK operations there in various conflicting and often contradictory ways; as a counter-terrorism mission, a stabilisation mission, and a counter-narcotics mission, respectively. This book investigates how the war was ’sold’ to the British public and how Britain’s ’transnational’ foreign and defence policy impacted on the unfolding of UK strategy in Afghanistan and the way it was communicated. It argues that because the UK’s foreign and defence policy is transnationally-oriented - meaning that it is foundationally aimed at maintaining alliance with the United States and the institutional coherence of NATO - UK strategy is contingent upon collective security and, crucially, is fundamentally concerned with the means of policy (maintaining alliances) over the ends (using alliances to effect change). Explaining the inalienability of collective security systems to national security is no easy task, however, and, when faced with the adversities of Afghanistan, the UK state has since 2008 instead opted to describe the significance of Afghanistan in narrow, nation-centric, counter-terrorist concerns in order to maintain public support for collective security operations there whilst, paradoxically, framing the conflict in a manner that avoids talking about the transnational structure and purpose of the mission. This kind of ’strategic’ communication is increasingly becoming a focus of the UK state as it faces a transnational dilemma of maintaining its collective security bonds whilst facing a public increasingly sceptical of liberal interventionism.
The UK Economy in the Long Expansion and its Aftermath
by Chadha, Jagjit S. and Chrystal, Alec and Pearlman, Joe and Smith, Peter and Wright, Stephen Jagjit S. Chadha Alec Chrystal Joe Pearlman Peter Smith Stephen WrightThe financial crisis of 2007–11 has now been analysed and explained from almost every conceivable standpoint. Far less attention has been paid to the long business cycle expansion that started in 1992 and provided an exceptional period of macroeconomic stability in the UK. To many it seemed that the main problem of the UK economy had been solved: that of sustained non-inflationary economic growth. This book brings together senior macroeconomists from universities and the Bank of England to look at what policy-making lessons can be learned from looking at the period of expansion that preceded the financial crisis. It does so with the twin aims of encouraging more policy-focused research on the UK and encouraging policy debate in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the prolonged economic recession. Students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in the UK economy will need to absorb the lessons of this book.
The UK Equity Gap: The Failure of Government Policy Since 1945 (Routledge Revivals)
by Chris LonsdaleFirst published in 1997, this volume investigates the important economic issue of small business finance. The inability of small firms to acquire equity finance is believed to be an important factor in the UK’s continued relative economic decline. Throughout the post-war period both Labour and Conservative Governments have recognised this and devised micro-economic policies to address the issue. In this book the author assesses the effectiveness of these policies, particularly focusing upon the past 20 years when policy has been accompanied by the development of the UK venture capital industry. The author concludes that government policy has been largely unsuccessful in bridging the equity gap, but that the problem could be addressed effectively if only lessons were learned from the past. This book provides those lessons, and is particularly timely given that the new Labour Government is currently reviewing policy in this area.
UK, EU and Global Administrative Law
by Paul CraigPaul Craig's analysis of UK, EU and global administrative law examines the challenges facing each system and reveals the commonalities in and differences between their foundational assumptions. The challenges which they face may be particular to that legal order, endemic to any legal system of administrative law or the result of interaction between the three systems. The inter-relationship between the three levels is important. The legal and practical reality is that developments at one level can have an impact on the other two. Legal doctrine fashioned at the national level may therefore inform developments in EU and global administrative law. The doctrine thus created may then function symbiotically, shaping developments within a domestic legal order. The inter-relationship is equally marked from the regulatory perspective, since many such provisions originate at the global or EU level.
