The Mexican War. Between Andreas Schedler and the political science

The Mexican War. Between Andreas Schedler and the political science https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2017/04/27/La-Guerra-Mexicana-Entre-Andreas-Schedler-y-el-quehacer-politol%C3%B3gico By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero A few weeks ago, derived from the death of Giovanni Sartori, some of the theoretical arguments of the Italian political scientist were used to show the diminished level of the social sciences in the country. The Mexican technocracy has insisted ad nauseam on the need to contain critical thinking and the uncompromising rhetoric of opponents and subaltern groups in Mexico who disagree with neoliberalism and its rampant corruption. This is not the first time critical thinking has been misused as a lost reason or heresy. Religious and economic fundamentalism constantly assaults dissenting ideas. This argument is also used to characterize public universities as crucibles of communists, guerrillas, homosexuals and drug addicts. Gabriel Zaid and the Int...

USA: Light on the street, darkness of his house

USA: Light on the street, darkness of his house By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2017/04/14/Estados-Unidos-Candil-de-la-calle%E2%80%A6 The US bombing of Syria and Afghanistan as well as the provocations against North Korea show that the geopolitics of the White House want to continue with the useless exercise of competing for the Russian, Chinese and Islamic natural areas of influence. Donald Trump's performance on the international stage will be worse than Barack Obama's since Western hegemony is over. As America wears out controlling global terrorism, its natural space tends to become more complex and more serious. The solution to Muslim fundamentalism depends on respecting the Central States of the Middle East. As Samuel Huntington pointed out, globalization must consider cultural differences if it aspires to generate communication between different peoples. North America must retreat to the limits of its living space ...

Quetzalcoatl its a Chinese Dragon

Quetzalcoatl its a Chinese  Dragon https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2017/04/08/Quetzalc%C3%B3atl-es-un-drag%C3%B3n-chino By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Nexos Magazine circulated a series of analyzes regarding the situation that deprives Mexico and the United States in the wake of the election victory of Donald Trump. They emphasize the ideas of Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo whose reflections on the Mexican social order are well known and have responded directly to Anglo-Saxon xenophobia; However, in contrast to the unprecedented relationship that now poses North America, there is no reason. Donald Trump and his supporters - who are not few and there are several Latinos there - have canceled the Western vocation that Mexico and Latin America could have developed. Then, too, it becomes necessary to ask the inevitable question Who are we? The rejection of North America to Mexico forces to modify the model of country tha...

Devil in a blue dress. The force of evil in the Mexican political system

Devil in a blue dress. The force of evil in the Mexican political system http://quoruminformativo.com.mx/index.php/2017/04/01/diablo-con-vestido-de-azul-la-fuerza-de-la-maldad-en-el-sistema-politico-mexicano/ By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero Poverty is constituted as the source of all evils, factionalism springs as one of the major pathologies. All peoples have gone through stages of severe economic crises, and only national unity, moderation in social inequality, civility and values, allow us to overcome problems. The neoliberal economic model has been one of the productive schemes to which the generation of poverty is most correlational. The imposition of the catalaxia to the politics, have come to destroy the State and the civic virtues. Factionalism is constituted thanks to a phase of extreme imitation, its dynamics generate a complexity that, viewed from the sociological categories, hinders development, democracy and civilization. Hence the importance of the form...
