It wasn't so much a big blue machine that chugged its way across Ontario's political landscape in the spring of 1995 - it was more a big purple bulldozer driven by leader Mike Harris and a new breed of Tories. Gone were the pinstripes and the cigar-chomping backroom boys of the forty-two years of Tory rule. These Tories were young, hip, and they were riding the wave of their Common Sense Revolution, a platform launched a year earlier. Still, there...

El principal mérito de este trabajo consiste en que el autor, con potente originalidad, toma el complejo y multívoco concepto de comunidad para adentrarse en la comprensión del ser-en-común propio del peronismo clásico para, desde allí, darnos que pensar y darnos qué pensar en torno a los desafíos más acuciantes del mundo contemporáneo.
'Fenomenología del peronismo' tiene otra gran virtud: está muy bien escrito. El aparato conceptual y...

Si el populismo no ha muerto, si está "insoportablemente vivo", es porque funciona. Y su eficacia se debe, en buena medida, a que ofrece una forma convincente de explicar el mundo, reflejar las preocupaciones y los miedos de los ciudadanos y proponerles una salida concreta. En otras palabras, sostiene un discurso, una historia con héroes y villanos que da sentido a una realidad que, en el siglo XXI, parece haberlo perdido. Esto vale tanto para Hugo...

The book traces the presidential primaries and compares conventional wisdom with the probabilistic scenario. The prediction is that Gore will win the Presidency in 2000 based on the analysis of the primaries. The shakeout in the Republican primary revealed the inherent weakness of the Republican Party in the post Clinton Era. Gore will prevail due to the strong national economy and peace in the international community. The status quo will be preserved...
