El consentimiento en la Nueva España : la fundamentación de la igualdad de Alonso de la Veracruz.
(Editorial NUN, 2025)
;
Hernández Godoy Zara
El objetivo de este trabajo es subrayar la relevancia de la argumentación de Alonso de la Veracruz en el siglo XVI respecto a la necesidad del consentimiento matrimonial por parte de la mujer y las implicaciones antropológicas que esto conlleva. Con este fin, iniciaremos con un breve contexto histórico y cultural del consentimiento matrimonial en occidente. En primer lugar, expondremos el patriarcado cultural milenario en occidente. En segundo lugar, el escándalo que supuso el cristianismo con respecto a la valoración de la mujer como persona. En tercer lugar, abordaremos el ambivalente reencuentro del Derecho romano en Bolonia y el resurgimiento de la filosofía aristotélica, como una diacrónica caja de Pandora que permeó a los filósofos medievales a través de las primeras universidades. Lo anterior permitirá concluir la originalidad de la intuición antropológica de Alonso de la Veracruz sobre la incondicional igualdad en dignidad entre hombre y mujer a través de su argumentación filosófica sobre el consentimiento matrimonial en el siglo XVI.

The Essence of Hospitality Extracted from the Odyssey of Homer: Its Relevance for Hospitality Professionals Today
(Springer International Publishing, 2022)
Saul, Fabiola
It seems an undeniable fact that hospitality as the generous action of receiving someone, usually a stranger, in the home has been a millenary practice. This may have to do with the fact that man possesses the capability to move around the earth, and therefore when he is in a foreign land, he may need shelter or refuge. In this context, many authors have considered Homer’s poem, the Odyssey, a good setting to study this phenomenon, since it is the remotest testimony of a great journey, in Western Literature, one in which Odysseus takes 10 years to return home. An author that complements the study of Homer is Aristotle, since his theory of virtue offers a possible conception of hospitality as a human trait that is acquired through effort and models a person’s moral character towards the good. This chapter tries to unite both Greek authors to find the essence of hospitality and, from there, the possible implications for today’s hospitality professionals. ©The author ©Springer.

Brazil’s National Power Evolution and Geostructural Positioning
(Springer Nature Singapore, 2025)
Ruvalcaba, Daniel Morales
;
Apango Partida, Mónica
This chapter examines Brazil’s national power’s evolution and geostructural positioning in the international system since the end of the Cold War. From a methodological perspective, a theoretical approach is adopted, conceptualising national-international power as a multidimensional, dynamic, and recursive combination of capacities. The analysis is based on the use of the World Power Index (WPI), a quantitative tool that allows for the measurement and comparison of Brazil’s power over time, providing an empirical basis for understanding its trajectory. Within this framework, the material, semimaterial, and immaterial capacities that have defined the configuration of its national power are assessed. The chapter is organised into four main sections. The first provides a historical review of Brazil’s national power, contextualising its position as a semiperipheral country in the global system. The second analyses the evolution of Brazilian power since the end of the Cold War, identifying a cycle characterised by short phases of rise and decline (1990–2002), a prolonged phase of emerging consolidation (2003–2011), and, subsequently, a sustained period of decline that began in 2012 and started to reverse from 2021 onward. The third section presents a diachronic analysis of Brazil’s material, semimaterial, and immaterial capacities. Finally, the fourth section examines its geostructural positioning at both regional and global levels, exploring its main roles as a regional power with global aspirations. The academic importance of this chapter lies in its innovative analysis of Brazil’s national power, which combines a historical and quantitative approach with a comprehensive perspective on power. This approach enables an understanding of how Brazil has balanced its regional leadership with its insertion into the international system while transiting cycles of rise and decline in its national power.

Administrative Moderation, the Art of Association, and Functional Pluralism
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025)
Martínez Hernández, Abraham
Democracies offer a true prospect for freedom to flourish, as long as people hold a correct understanding of what freedom entails. For Alexis de Tocqueville, the relationship between democracy and liberalism is hopefully inseparable, and potentially beneficial. But liberalism would have to be properly understood, in order for democracy to deliver on its genuine salutary potential. Not only would a liberal perspective promote the separation of powers, but it would also need to favor an idea of freedom that is more than a mere affirmation of individual autonomy. Unless a civic component is attached to the notion of freedom, any other conception would eventually result in self-enclosed citizens prone to succumb to new forms of tyranny in the shape, mainly, of administrative centralization. The true meaning and value of freedom, therefore, would have to be learned. Facilitating the conditions for freedom of association to develop is essential to doing so. Taking Tocqueville’s proposal as a starting point, I explore the role that administrative moderation plays in stimulating civic involvement at the most local levels. The latter, along with a committed safeguard of freedom of association, could begin to animate a revival of real sovereignty of the people. And with it, the development of functional pluralistic contemporary societies could be a reality. ©The author ©Springer.

Role of Information Technology in Advancing Sustainability in India: A Case Study Analysis
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026)
;
Singh, Rashmi
;
Tripathi, Saumya
This study explores the role of information technology (IT) in advancing sustainability efforts across various sectors in India. As India pursues its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the integration of digital technologies into corporate sustainability strategies has become both imperative and challenging. Through an analysis of four Indian case studies, this research investigates how firms are leveraging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI) to promote energy efficiency, resource optimization, and waste reduction. Findings indicate a growing trend towards green innovation, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, and urban development. These technological interventions align with national frameworks such as the Digital India initiative and the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), emphasizing the need for stronger digital infrastructure and skill development. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of policy support, regulatory clarity, and public–private partnerships in fostering environmentally sustainable practices. The case studies exemplify how IT serves not only as a technological enabler but also as a strategic driver of sustainable transformation in India. Building institutional capacity and removing technological and financial barriers are critical to ensuring the scalability of these practices nationwide. Overall, the research highlights the transformative potential of IT in achieving India’s sustainability goals through innovation, integration, and inclusive development. ©The authors ©Springer.

County and Nobility in Norman Italy: Aristocratic Agency in the Kingdom of Sicily, 1130-1189
(Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2020)
Whilst historians often regard the Norman Kingdom of Sicily as centralised and administratively advanced, County and Nobility in Norman Italy counters this traditional interpretation; far from centralised and streamlined, this book reveals how the genesis and social structures of the kingdom were constantly fraught between the forces of royal power and local aristocracy authority. In doing so, Hervin Fernandez Aceves sheds important new light on medieval Italy. This book is the result of thorough research conducted on the vast source material for the history of this fascinating 12th-century world. Starting with the activities of Norman counts and the configuration of the counties, it explores how social control operated in these nodes of regional authority, and argues that the Sicilian monarchy relied on the counties (and the counts’ authority) to keep the realm united and exercise control. © Hervin Fernández-Aceves 2020.
