López M: Impacto de la crisis
demográfica en los países desarrollados

Impacto de la crisis demográfica en los países desarrollados y Costa Rica

Tienes una casa aquí y un terreno allá. Tu living trust protege una de las dos cosas. Este libro te dice cuál, por qué, y qué hacer con la otra.

Casi todas las guías de fideicomisos en vida venden la misma promesa: firma este documento y todo queda resuelto. Para una familia con bienes y herederos en dos países, esa promesa está incompleta. Un fideicomiso creado en Estados Unidos es un instrumento de derecho estadounidense, y su autoridad termina donde termina la jurisdicción de Estados Unidos.

Este no es un libro de plantillas ni de atajos. Es un mapa honesto, bien por bien, de qué cubre realmente un living trust y dónde se queda corto: la casa de aquí, el terreno de allá, las cuentas de los dos lados, los herederos que viven fuera, los papeles donde tu nombre está escrito de tres maneras distintas. En cada caso encontrarás el problema explicado sin jerga, los documentos que hay que reunir y las preguntas exactas que llevarle al profesional correcto.

Español claro, sin una sola cifra inventada y sin leyes citadas de memoria, porque las reglas cambian de estado a estado y son distintas en cada país. Donde hace falta un número, el libro te dice dónde se consulta la versión vigente.

QUÉ VAS A ENCONTRAR

- Por qué un fideicomiso de Estados Unidos se detiene en la frontera, explicado de una vez y para siempre
- Qué hacer con el terreno, la casa o la parcela que está en el país de origen, incluso si sigue a nombre de alguien que ya falleció
- Qué es probate en realidad, qué es cierto de lo que se dice y qué es propaganda de venta
- El atajo que casi nadie usa: las designaciones de beneficiario que le ganan a tu testamento y a tu fideicomiso
- Cómo elegir sucesor cuando tus hijos viven en países distintos
- Cuentas a los dos lados y las preguntas fiscales que hacer antes de firmar nada
- Por qué "notario" no significa lo mismo aquí y cómo verificar a quien te ofrece ayuda
- Cómo armar la carpeta que tu familia va a necesitar, y a quién decirle dónde está
- Las conversaciones familiares que ningún abogado puede tener por ti

PARA QUIÉN ES

Para la primera generación con patrimonio repartido entre dos países. Para quien guarda escrituras en dos idiomas y tiene hermanos, hijos o padres del otro lado. Para quien ya escuchó la promesa de la solución total y quiere saber qué hay debajo.

Contenido educativo general. No es asesoría legal ni fiscal: antes de decidir, consulta a un abogado con licencia en tu estado y a un profesional habilitado en cada país involucrado.

UNA CASA AQUÍ, UN TERRENO ALLÁ

The promise of a capitalist green economy is to transform ecological constraints on development into business opportunities. This may sound appealing but proves problematic on closer inspection. Emanuele Leonardi explains how this reasonable ideology fails by drawing on the work of Andre Gorz, the militant communist, editor of Les Temps Modernes, and journalist at Le Nouvel Observateur. The result connects degrowth thinking to Marxism. Labour, Nature, Value is a programmatic horizon for the socio-ecological conflicts proliferating internationally. The aim is to reduce pressure on the biosphere while facilitating an ever-wider diffusion of care activities and knowledge production. Degrowth and Marxism are natural allies in the fight for a fair and sustainable world.

What to do when your reputation is at stake? This publication offers practical guidance on dealing with corporate crises. It discusses the forces that affect a company and its management in a crisis and outlines principles for effective communication to tackle and weather crises. Whether the crisis develops gradually or strikes suddenly, keeping a cool head, sending clear messages and acting consistently can mitigate the negative effects on reputation and restore trust more quickly. Using typical scenarios, concrete instructions and conceptual considerations, the book shows how reputation management can work for companies and their executives, who are particularly exposed in crises.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Shia Revival Now with a new afterword by the author, this gripping account overturns simplistic portrayals of Iran as a theocratic pariah state, revealing how its strategic moves on the world stage are driven by two pervasive threats—external aggression and internal dissolution Iran presents one of the most significant foreign policy challenges for America and the West, yet very little is known about what the country’s goals really are. Vali Nasr examines Iran’s political history in new ways to explain its actions and ambitions on the world stage, showing how, behind the veneer of theocracy and Islamic ideology, today’s Iran is pursuing a grand strategy aimed at securing the country internally and asserting its place in the region and the world. Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, and original in-depth interviews with Iranian decision makers, Nasr brings to light facts and events in Iran’s political history that have been overlooked until now. He traces the roots of Iran’s strategic outlook to its experiences over the past four decades of war with Iraq in the 1980s and the subsequent American containment of Iran, invasion of Iraq in 2003, and posture toward Iran thereafter. Nasr reveals how these experiences have shaped a geopolitical outlook driven by pervasive fear of America and its plans for the Middle East. Now with an afterword by the author that addresses recent developments in Iran’s domestic and world affairs, Iran’s Grand Strategy challenges the notion that Iran’s foreign policy simply reflects its revolutionary values or theocratic government. It provides invaluable insights into what Iran wants and why, explaining the country’s resistance to the United States, its nuclear ambitions, and its pursuit of influence and proxies across the Middle East.

Iran's Grand Strategy

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

This book introduces resilience-based concepts and high reliability organization (HRO) principles—adapted from disruption-prone industries—to improve risk management for tail or extreme events in U.S. globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). HROs thrive in volatile environments by prioritizing adaptability, vigilance, resilience, and safety. Given that both G-SIBs and disruption-prone companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex settings, there is a shared need for risk management techniques centered on resilience engineering to anticipate and mitigate unexpected extreme events. While G-SIBs are "too big to fail" and provide valuable insights into resilience in high-stakes scenarios, these approaches can benefit banks of all sizes facing similar risks.
The book explores the social world of banking and management, emphasizing the subjective nature of risk as people interpret events differently. Through surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research identifies growing interest in non-predictive risk methods for bank resilience. It recommends supplementing existing quantitative risk models with a transdisciplinary approach focused on non-predictive HRO principles to help banks prevent and mitigate extreme risks. The study finds that current G-SIB risk methods rely heavily on quantitative models, which may create a false sense of security. Additionally, extreme events are increasingly compound and often driven by human behavior. The book targets scholars and professionals seeking advances in resilience engineering within banking.

HRO Strategies for Resilient Risk Management in Banking

This book explores the complexity of cities as sites of warfare and investigates the ever-growing challenges for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). Through analysis of existing literature, media coverage and in-depth case studies, this title investigates the vulnerabilities of growing cities, the consequences citizens face in crises, and the effectiveness of DRM systems.
By depicting the serious global security problems that test systems of culture, governance, war and peace practices, this book encourages discussion around the present and future condition of cities. The volume investigates the impacts of urban warfare and argues for the implementation of effective DRM systems that are based on understanding of disaster risk in all its dimensions, achieved through well-designed training programs employing the latest teaching-learning theories and agile methodologies.

Challenges for disaster management

Cities in crisis

The first major account of this transformative period in the history of Great Britain Between 1990 and 2020, the United Kingdom experienced tension between unparalleled social change and a pragmatic political culture which sought continuity, compromise and gradualism. Thatcher’s legacy was slowly digested, Blair’s ‘New Labour’ thoroughly scrutinized and the decision was made after forty-seven years to leave the European Union. The UK’s long-established major institutions—monarchy, parliament and the union between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—were sorely tested. Yesterday provides the first fully documented history of this pivotal time in Great Britain. Was the UK in decline? Brian Harrison points to Britain’s unsuccessful adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan and its relative economic decline, underfunded hospitals, sink schools, over-filled prisons and terrorism of both Irish and Islamic varieties. Yet there were successes. Harrison shows how the UK’s participatory institutions outmanoeuvred terrorism and precariously surmounted regional, intergenerational, ethnic and social-class tensions. This vibrant, creative society saw major improvements in time, place and recruitment for work, as well as growth and innovation in conservation, digitization, tourism, consumerism, sport and the arts. Some changes were revolutionary: in family life and relations between the generations, and in the ever-changing electronic media. And if religious observance was in decline, immigrants were introducing new faiths and even a revived religious fervour while attitudes to health and death were changing fast. A panoramic and wide-ranging analysis by a scholar at the height of his powers, Yesterday paints an evocative, richly textured portrait of a people who were shedding their complacency and insularity and bracing themselves to face a very different but promising future.

Dandelion is Dead

The book explores how political ideologies influence a government's ability to handle a crisis, with a primary focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a descriptive-analytical evaluation of: The fundamental concepts and objectives of crisis management.
The strengths and weaknesses of liberal democracies, such as their community-based approaches and the challenges they faced in acting fairly for all social classes during the pandemic. The responses of authoritarian socialist regimes like China, which controlled the virus spread rapidly but faced criticism for police actions and a lack of respect for individual rights.

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Was stellen wir uns vor, wenn wir von Aufklärung sprechen, und welche konkreten Vorstellungsbilder verbinden wir damit? Aufklärung ist ein historisches Phänomen und zugleich eine bis heute wirkmächtige soziale Imagination. Um ihre Attraktivität zu verstehen, richtet dieser Band den Blick auf die kollektiv geteilten Vorstellungsbilder der Aufklärung. Er untersucht, mit welchen Mitteln sie erzeugt wurden und werden, wie sie kulturelle Orientierung stiften und wie sie gemeinsame Handlungs- und Denkräume eröffnen. Die Beiträge aus Geschichts-, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Soziologie beziehen sich sowohl auf die Formationsphase der Aufklärung im 18. Jahrhundert als auch auf ausgewählte Stationen ihrer Wirkungsgeschichte. Aufklärung als soziale Imagination zu analysieren, ermöglicht neue Erkenntnisse über ihre Entstehung und ihren Durchsetzungserfolg, aber auch über die ästhetischen Qualitäten und Dynamiken der beteiligten Bilder und Texte, Medien und Praktiken.

Aufklärung als soziale Imagination

An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world. What if the mainstay of mental health care involved cancelling onerous debt, giving poor people free housing, and paying reparations to the descendants of slavery and colonialism? In Empire of Madness, Dr. Khameer Kidia re-evaluates the Western approach to mental health, which medicates symptoms instead of changing the structures that harm the human psyche. A physician and researcher whose own family suffers from the psychological effects of colonialism, Kidia highlights the limitations of the Western mental health model by reporting from the front lines of mental health crises at home, in the clinic, and during a decade of fieldwork. Clear-eyed and openhearted, Kidia asks the nuanced questions unaddressed by our current mental health model: How do history, culture, and politics shape mental distress? Are hoarding and burnout medical diagnoses or social problems? Why are schizophrenia outcomes sometimes better in poor countries without antipsychotics? Can a traditional healer treat mental illness better than a Western-trained clinician? For those living in poverty, can cash replace pills? With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, Kidia invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice—patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike—matters.
