El apasionante recorrido de la Copa del Mundo desde 1950 hasta la actualidad contado con rigor y sentido del humor por Inocencio F. Arias. Un viaje personal cuajado de información deportiva y anécdotas mezcladas con el contexto histórico y diplomático en el que se celebró cada mundial. Inocencio F.

Signatura 20530 Badia i Dalmases, Francesc Orden y desorden en el siglo XXI: gobernanza global en un mundo de ansiedades / Francesc Badia i Dalmases - Barcelona: Icaria, 2015. -- 205 p. Los primeros doce años del siglo XXI han sido años inestables y convulsos. Conceptos como ansiedad y desorden se han incorporado con fuerza al análisis de las relaciones internacionales, haciéndose ahora evidente la necesidad de trabajar en un entorno donde las interdependencias se han intensificado. Ante este diagnóstico, la preservación de las sociedades abiertas y de aspiración cosmopolita, que mantengan un debate vibrante y democrático, capaz de mitigar las crecientes desigualdades y tensiones, debería ser la prioridad absoluta de todos aquellos preocupados por la res pública y por el bien común. Signatura 20500 -Servicio de Biblioteca- Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación 2 Borrell Fontelles, Josep Las cuentas y los cuentos de la independencia / Josep Borrell y Joan Llorach. -- Madrid: Los Libros de la Catarata, 2015. -- 159 p. En este momento crítico para el futuro de Catalunya y de España, son muchas las preguntas que surgen, también en torno al cumplimiento del Estatut o la adhesión de Catalunya a la UE. ¿Cuál es la posición de la comunidad internacional ante el derecho de autodeterminación? Parece que los líderes independentistas tienen las respuestas para garantizar una “secesión sin costes”, pero sus argumentos, tan contundentes a primera vista, se resienten ante un análisis documentado y razonado como el que ofrecen los autores de este libro. Signatura 20507 Bushkovitch, Paul A concise history of Russia / Paul Bushkovitch. -- New York: Cambridge University Press, 2012 -- XXIV, 491 p. Accessible to students, tourists and general readers alike, this book provides a broad overview of Russian history since the ninth century. Paul Bushkovitch emphasizes the enormous changes in the understanding of Russian history resulting from the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, new material has come to light on the history of the Soviet era, providing new conceptions of Russia's pre- revolutionary past. The book traces not only the political history of Russia, but also developments in its literature, art and science. Bushkovitch describes well-known cultural figures, such as Chekhov, Tolstoy and Mendeleev, in their institutional and historical contexts. Though the 1917 revolution, the resulting Soviet system and the Cold War were a crucial part of Russian and world history, Bushkovitch presents earlier developments as more than just a prelude to Bolshevik power. Signatura 20499 -Servicio de Biblioteca- Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación 3 Careaga, Christian China ante los retos y anhelos mundiales / Christian Careaga Guzmán. -- [Las Palmas de Gran Canaria]: Instituto Confucio: Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Servicio de Publicaciones y Difusión Científica, 2015. -- 536 p. Estamos ante el umbral de una nueva sociedad planetaria y será el país de la Gran Muralla, con sus luces y sus sombras éticas, el que más contribuirá a dar forma a un nuevo contexto internacional que incidirá directamente sobre nuestras vidas. A largo plazo, China e India mantendrán en buena medida sus culturas y valores tradicionales más profundos, los cuales alejarán en cierto grado a las sociedades occidentales del modelo neoliberal actual, para acercarnos hacia una visión más oriental y tal vez menos materialista de la vida. Signatura 20529 La crisis mundial de alimentos: alternativas para la toma de decisiones / Kattya Cascante Hernández, Ángeles Sánchez Díez (ed.). -- Madrid: Exlibris, 2008. -- 159 p. Estudio sobre la especulación en los mercados de futuro sobre los alimentos y las consecuencias de un comercio internacional desigual, el calentamiento del planeta estrechamente ligado a la seguridad alimentaria, un sistema energético donde los biocarburantes deben regularse y no suponer una amenaza a la producción de alimentos, y las desigualdades del sistema productivo. Las autores aportan recomendaciones con respuestas a la crisis y cómo superarla a medio y largo plazo. Signatura 20528 -Servicio de Biblioteca- Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación 4 Chan, Steve China's troubled water: maritime disputes in theoretical perspective / Steve Chan. -- New York: Cambridge University Press, 2016. -- XII, 236 p. How are China's ongoing sovereignty disputes in the East and South China Seas likely to evolve? Are relations across the Taiwan Strait poised to enter a new period of relaxation or tension? How are economic interdependence, domestic public opinion, and the deterrence role played by the US likely to affect China's relations with its counterparts in these disputes? Although territorial disputes have been the leading cause for interstate wars in the past, China has settled most of its land borders with its neighbours. Its maritime boundaries, however, have remained contentious. This book examines China's conduct in these maritime disputes in order to analyse Beijing's foreign policy intentions in general. Rather than studying Chinese motives in isolation, Steve Chan uses recent theoretical and empirical insights from international relations research to analyse China's management of its maritime disputes. Signatura 20502 Cotarelo, Ramón (1943-) La desnacionalización de España: de la nación posible al estado fallido / Ramón Cotarelo. -- Valencia: Tirant Humanidades, 2014. -- 365 p. El auge soberanista catalán, las propuestas de reformar la Constitución en un sentido federal o de abrir un nuevo proceso constituyente son pruebas de que se avecinan tiempos de transformaciones profundas. Este libro indaga en los orígenes y evolución de la cuestión del ser de España, hasta llegar al momento actual y sus perspectivas. Signatura 20506 -Servicio de Biblioteca- Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación 5 Duffy, Helen The 'war on terror' and the framework of international law / Helen Duffy. -- Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015. --LXXXVI, 993 p.
