    Citizens of the World: Political Engagement and Policy Attitudes of Millennials across the Globe
    (Oxford University Press, 2022) Rouse, Stella M.; McDonald, Jared; Engstrom, Richard N.; Hanmer, Michael J.; Gonzalez Gutierrez, Roberto; Lay Martinez, Siugmin Paz; Miranda Fuenzalida, Daniel Andrés
    The Millennial Generation, the age cohort born between the early 1980s and the late 1990s, is the most educated, digitally connected, and globalized in the history of the world. Around the globe, Millennials encompass 1.8 billion people, a quarter of the population. The size of the Millennial Generation means that they will soon produce a majority of political, economic, and social leaders. It is therefore important to understand how the Millennial Generation may respond in an era of rapid change and uncertainty, shaped by factors such as a global pandemic, economic hardship, demands for racial justice, and the retrenchment of the United States from the global stage. Making sense of what is to come requires a deeper understanding of what defines the Millennial Generation’s persona, their attachment to various identities, how they perceive the need for change, and the tools they will utilize to bring about change. Citizens of the World explores the political attitudes and behaviors of Millennials relative to older adults across eight countries: Australia, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The book argues that Millennials share a core persona, one that differentiates between a traditional and an emerging global identity that shapes news consumption, political attitudes, civic engagement, public service, and beliefs about the ability to enact political change. In this first-of-its-kind comparative analysis, the authors find that Millennials are unique in a variety of ways that have important implications for domestic and international politics.

    Design for Emergency Management
    (Taylor and Francis, 2023) Manen, Saskia M. van; Jaenichen, Claudine; Lin, Tingyi S.; Kremer Ramírez, Klaus Nicolás; Ramírez Andersen, Rodrigo Andrés
    Through a combination of theory, practice, and a range of interdisciplinary case studies, this book expands how we define and think about the critical role and relationship between design and emergencies. This role extends far beyond aesthetics: the book highlights the urgency of ensuring that a wide range of stakeholders and a diverse representation of the public comes together to work towards preventing disasters. Design in the context of disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and (wild) fires, provides new ways of looking at challenges. It contributes methods to actively engage communities in managing and minimizing disaster risk. Contributors present the latest research on how (collaborative) design and design thinking contribute to the development of processes and solutions to increase disaster literacy and decrease disaster risk for individuals and entire communities. Chapters highlight applied research and implementation of design and design thinking before, during, and after emergencies, resulting in a set of design guidelines derived from best practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in emergency management, product and service design, strategic design, design research, co-design, social design, design for change, and human-centered design.

    Una guerra contra la pobreza: voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz, interacciones y desarrollo comunitario en Sudamérica en los años sesenta
    (Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2023) Purcell Torretti, Fernando
    Los jóvenes voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz de Estados Unidos son los grandes protagonistas de este libro. Inspirados en la épica de John F. Kennedy y comprometidos con la superación de la pobreza a nivel global, dejaron sus casas para trabajar por dos años en proyectos de desarrollo comunitario. Todo eso en el contexto de una década fascinante marcada por el idealismo, las tensiones ideológicas y los grandes conflictos de la Guerra Fría. Se rescatan aquí sus experiencias desde el entrenamiento inicial hasta sus años de servicio en comunidades urbanas y rurales sudamericanas. Lo íntimo y lo público de su labor se abordan a través de testimonios personales, cartas, diarios de vida, boletines, informes, prensa, evaluaciones y documentación inédita del Cuerpo de Paz. Se estudian aquí las iniciativas modernizadoras de Estados Unidos y el diálogo con los planes de acción de gobiernos e instituciones locales. En este marco se aborda la mediación que los voluntarios hicieron, en terreno, entre las distintas miradas sobre pobreza y desarrollo en Sudamérica.
