"La cooperación para el desarrollo es una parte importante de las relaciones internacionales, en sus dimensiones teórica y práctica. El objetivo de este libro es analizar su papel en la escena internacional, partiendo de sus orígenes y su evolución, además de sus claves interpretativas. Con esta base, se tratan los actores implicados (desde los Estados hasta el sector privado) y sus modalidades (desde la ayuda tradicional hasta la cooperación sur-sur). En el marco de la geopolítica del desarrollo, el libro pone el foco en la pobreza y la desigualdad como temas centrales. Asimismo, analiza el recorrido de los consensos generados desde el multilateralismo, especialmente la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. El impacto que han tenido las políticas de cooperación para el desarrollo es el objeto de los capítulos del libro dedicados a examinar la eficacia de la ayuda y la coherencia de las políticas de desarrollo sostenible. En un mundo marcado por la confrontación, la pobreza y la desigualdad, así como por un modelo de crecimiento económico infinito en un territorio finito y por las policrisis (financieras, pandémicas, bélicas, etc.), la cooperación para el desarrollo ofrece las herramientas para transformarlo en un mundo mejor.

Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he’s long overdue for this ultimate monograph.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do – he preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics, then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were interpreted by many before him, but as he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him,” and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women, nude as censorship allowed, with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed, heavy buttocked, breasts cantilevered out to there, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. Add in the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips.

Peter Lindbergh photographed Dior’s most exceptional muses, Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron among them, and signed campaigns for Lady Dior and J'Adore with his inimitable style.
