In this book, the authors, as policy analysts, examine the overall context and dynamics of modern medicine, focusing on the changing conditions of medical practice through the lens of corporatization of medicine, physician unionization, physician strikes, and current health policy directions. Conditions affecting the American medical profession have been dramatically altered by the continuing crises of cost increases, quality concerns, and lack of access facing our population, along with the ongoing corporatization toward bottom-line dictates. Pressures on practitioners have been intensifying with much greater scrutiny over their clinical decision-making. Topics explored among the chapters include:History of the Corporatization of American Medicine: The Market Paradigm ReignsPharmaceuticals, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Drug Store Chains, and Pharmacy Benefit Manager/Insurer IntegrationMedical Practice: From CottageIndustry to Corporate PracticeMedical Malpractice Crisis: Oversight of the Practice of MedicineBig Data: Information Technology as Control over the Profession of MedicinePhysician Employment Status: Collective Bargaining and StrikesThe Corporatization of American Health Care offers different perspectives with the hopes that physicians will unite in a new awareness and common cause to curtail excessive profit-making, renew professional altruism, restore the charitable impulse to health provider institutions, and unite with other professionals to truly raise levels of population health and the quality of health care. It is also a necessary resource for health policy analysts, healthcare administrators, health law attorneys, and other associated health professions.

Animal law is a growing discipline, as is animal ethics. In this wide-ranging book, scholars from around the world address the intersections between the two. Specifically, this collection focuses on pressing moral issues and how law can protect animals from cruelty and abuse. A project of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, the book is edited by the Oxford Centre's directors, Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey, and features contributions from many of its fellows. Divided into three sections, the work explores historical perspectives and ethical-legal issues such as "personhood" and "property" before focusing on five practical case studies. The volume introduces readers to the interweaving between these subjects and should act as a spur to further interdisciplinary work.

La comprensión del chavismo y su modelo político depende de una base histórico-conceptual y de una percepción de los cambios ocurridos en el siglo XX. A través de este marco, estudiamos la política petrolera adoptada por el gobierno de Hugo Chávez (1999-2013) a los fines de la integración regional con el Mercosur a través de la propuesta denominada Petrosur. Para comprender este tema, optamos por analizar aspectos geográficos, políticos, económicos y jurídicos que pudieran ser vistos como obstáculos para la implementación de la propuesta, así como el carácter ideológico de los discursos de Chávez asociados a las diversas fisuras internas en sectores estratégicos de la economía venezolana. Este trabajo presenta, por lo tanto, los resultados de un estudio consistente de la realidad venezolana actual, que es, de hecho, el reflejo de un pasado lleno de cuestiones no resueltas.
