Political theorists can at times forget that the origins of political theory lie in the struggles of concrete political life. This paper focuses on one arena of political contestation: the collision between dissenters and their communities' legal systems. It focuses on The Peoples Ancient and Just Liberties Asserted (1670), a purported transcript of the trial of William Penn and William Mead for disturbance of the peace. The trial plays an important role in the emergent principle of jury independence and a key role in Penn's career as a political actor during the 1670s, culminating in his American colonizing enterprise. After a few remarks about the trial itself, the paper proceeds in two parts, each emphasizing an aspect of the text's performative nature. First, akin to canonical works of the Anglo-American tradition, Peoples presents embedded principles: coherent and substantive visions of legitimate government, justified by reference to authoritative texts, arguments, and practices. But the defendants in Peoples also enact and embody political dissent in ways other than overt and explicit argumentation: Penn and Mead themselves appear as characters performing a politics of dissent. As a work of both political theory and political theater, Peoples offers insights into Deleuze's notion of "dramatization," and can lead us to a broader appreciation of the many different genres that constitute political theory.

El proceso de digitalización es un vector fundamental del capitalismo de datos, que está generando profundas implicancias en términos de nuevas formas de poder y asimetrías entre los actores de la política inter y transnacional. En Relaciones Internacionales, la ciberpolítica estudia las consecuencias de estos cambios. Mientras que en español hay pocas investigaciones sobre el tema, en inglés existe una amplia variedad de estudios, pero sin dimensionar la importancia del proceso de digitalización como parte de una nueva economía política global. En contraposición, en base a la literatura crítica de la economía política internacional en la tradición neogramsciana y de los estudios de ciencia y tecnología, argumentamos que el proceso de digitalización transforma las relaciones de producción, propiciando formas de gobernanza que expresan dinámicas de conflicto y cooperación en las que se pone en juego la construcción de nuevas configuraciones de un orden mundial digital. A partir de una revisión de la literatura en inglés, sostenemos el argumento al mostrar las dinámicas de conflicto y cooperación en cuatro áreas específicas de la ciberpolítica y las relaciones internacionales: ciberseguridad; gobernanza del comercio y de las finanzas globales; derechos humanos y ciudadanía en internet; y medioambiente ; Digitalization is a fundamental vector of data capitalism, which is generating profound implications in terms of new forms of power and asymmetries between actors of inter and transnational politics. In International Relations, cyberpolitics studies the consequences of these changes. While there is little research on the subject in Spanish, in English there is a wide variety of studies, but without dimensioning the importance of the process of digitalization as part of a new global political economy. In contrast, based on the critical literature of international political economy in the neo-Gramscian tradition and the studies of science and technology, we argue that the process of digitalization transforms relations of production, fostering forms of governance that express dynamics of conflict and cooperation in which the construction of new configurations of a digital world order is at stake. Based on a review of the Anglophone literature, we support the argument by showing the dynamics of conflict and cooperation in four specific areas of cyberpolitics and international relations: cybersecurity; governance of trade and global finance; human rights and citizenship on the internet; and the environment

"This book addresses the psychosocial causes, consequences, and underpinnings of intra-regional migration in Latin America. War, political instability, and disparities in wealth and opportunity have long driven migration within Latin America, and this process shows no sign of slowing. In this book, cross-cultural and social psychologists address the urgent issues that face migrants throughout Central and South America. This includes overt prejudice and discrimination, particularly toward immigrants of indigenous or African-American origin; micro-aggressions; the tendency to positively value fair skin and European surnames; as well as political questions regarding the nature of citizenship and nationhood and links between legacies of colonialism and slavery and present-day inequality. Contributors offer conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools for understanding the psychological processes that underlie migration and intergroup contact. Chapters focus on migration between and within countries in Central and South America, including Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil"--

Als Beispiel für die Anwendung der Dependenztheorie durch die Regierung eines Entwicklungslandes wird Ghana untersucht. Unter der Regierung von Jerry Rawlings wurden zunächst eine Reihe radikaler, dependenztheoretisch begründeter Maßnahmen gegen die ökonomische und kulturelle Abhängigkeit Ghanas von den westlichen Industriestaaten ergriffen. Als sich deren negative Auswirkungen auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung bemerkbar machten, revidierte die Regierung ihre dependenztheoretische Orientierung zugunsten eines marktwirtschaftlichen Pragmatismus.

Social role theory suggests that how managers respond to employees seeking help depends on the manager's gender. Consistent with social role theory, we found that women managers tended to use significantly more gender-consistent helping behaviors, such as understanding, and less masculine-related behaviors, such as evaluating, than their male counterparts. On the other hand, when helping behavior was examined within each sex group, we found that both men and women managers tended to rely less on understanding and more on evaluating, suggesting that the managerial role plays a greater part in shaping helping behavior.
