Pastor Fábrega-Álvarez & Felipe Criado-Boado (eds.). ; A diversidade cultural é un reto para a investigación, tanto como para a convivencia. O mellor coñecemento do que é diferente incrementa a nosa comprensión da realidade.-- Cultural diversity is a major challenge both for research and coexistence The deeper we know the difference, the better we understand reality. ; [GA] Hai dous anos, o Incipit deseñou e organizou unha mostra titulada "Diversa: Arqueoloxía dende o Incipit alén Europa". Esta mostra nutríase de contidos procedentes de diferentes proxectos arqueolóxicos e etnoarqueolóxicos levados a cabo dende o Incipit alén Europa. Os elementos comúns a todos estes proxectos seguen a ser, unha perspectiva comunitaria e un sentido da práctica científica inseparables do traballo político coas comunidades de todo o mundo, amais de facer visible esta perspectiva á nosa propia comunidade. ; [EN] Two years ago, the Incipit designed and organized an exhibition, entitled "Diverse: Archaeology from Incipit beyond Europe". This exhibition was based on different archaeological and ethnoarchaeological projects carried out by the Incipit around the world. The common elements in all of these projects were, and still are, a community perspective and a sense of scientific practice as being inseparable from political work with citizens everywhere, along with the aim of making this perspective visible to our own community. ; Most of the projects shown here were funded by the Instituto de Patrimonio Cultural de España (IPCE), Spanish Ministry of Educación and Cultura, through the annual call Actuaciones Arqueológicas en el Exterior, Dirección General de Bellas Artes y Bienes Culturales y de Archivos y Bibliotecas de la Secretaría de Estado de Cultura. ; Peer reviewed

In November 2002, the oil tanker Prestige caused a catastrophic oil spill off the coast of Galicia in northwestern Spain. This article discusses the oil spill & the sociopolitical movement that arose from it, Never Again. The analysis begins with an overview of the Galician political system & a chronology of the oil spill & its environmental consequences. The discussion then moves on to the birth of Never Again, with an analysis of its organization, internal debates, & action plans. The development of the movement to the present time is traced, with an analysis of the social & political alliances it has formed, including a discussion of many of the citizens' groups that work with Never Again. The article takes a close look at the political consequences of the movement's work, particularly within the context of the Galician & Spanish political systems. Tables, References. R. Young

This paper examines participation in water management, more specifically in implementing the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) in Norway. Attainment of the goals of the WFD depends on new ways of coordinating the activities, knowledge and resources of many sectors and levels of government, including the private sector. The WFD explicitly emphasizes broad stakeholder involvement and public participation. The new network arena of River Basin District Water Boards at the regional level and Sub-District Boards at the sub-regional level, cut across existing municipal, regional and national borders. In each River Basin District, broad reference groups are established. Through surveys and qualitative case studies, we examine how this norm of participation is operationalized in the River Basin Districts, and how different actors evaluate it. We find that the reference grou ps have mobilized many actors from civil society and the private sector, but they do not report having influe nce. The role of the reference group is unclear. ; Artikkelen er skrevet i forskningsprosjektet «Water Pollution Abatement in a System of Multi-level Governance: A study of Norway's implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WAPABAT), finansiert av MILJØ2015-programmet i Norges forskningsråd.

Greece has still not found its way back while its economy has been deteriorating year after year since 2008. It is argued in this article that the central factor of this outcome was the dynamics of financing in the countries most involved in Greek indebtedness that was considerably greater and had a more detrimental influence on the Greek economy than poor fiscal management that different governments could incur. The impetus displayed by financial services did not correspond to the weakness of the real sector which occurs when borrowing and financial flows are used without restriction to meet the interests of creditors. In this work an analysis of the channels that fueled Greek debt is carried out in the context proposed by Minsky where an economy moves from financial stability to a scenario of instability supported in two determining variables: high and exaggerated interest on debt service and the type of agents holding debt assets. The debt-service interest incurred by the government since joining the eurozone and the impetus for financing caused the debt to have a giant snowball effect while the change in debt holders forced the government to comply with strict and onerous government and macroeconomic reforms that directly impacted the ability of Greek governments to pay with negative results on the well-being of society. ; Grecia aún no ha encontrado el camino hacia su recuperación desde que su economía se contrajera año tras año desde el 2008. Se argumenta en este artículo que el factor central de este resultado fue la dinámica de financiación de los países más involucrados en el endeudamiento griego, que fue considerablemente mayor y que influyó más negativamente sobre la economía griega que el deficiente y dispendioso manejo fiscal en el que pudieron incurrir diferentes gobiernos. El ímpetu mostrado por los servicios financieros no correspondió a la debilidad del sector real, pues el endeudamiento y los flujos financieros fueron utilizados sin restricción alguna para satisfacer los intereses de los acreedores. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de los canales que fueron alimentando la deuda griega en el contexto propuesto por Minsky (1992) de inestabilidad financiera, que tiene lugar cuando una economía transita desde la estabilidad financiera hacia un escenario de inestabilidad soportado en dos variables determinantes: los altos y exagerados intereses del servicio de la deuda y el tipo de agentes poseedores de los activos de deuda. Los intereses del servicio de la deuda contraída por el Gobierno desde su incorporación a la zona euro junto al fuerte impulso de la financiación provocaron que la deuda se convirtiese en una bola de nieve gigante, mientras que el cambio en los poseedores de deuda impidió que el Gobierno pudiera cumplir con las estrictas y onerosas reformas gubernamentales y macroeconómicas, que repercutieron directamente sobre la capacidad de pago de los Gobiernos griegos y que provocaron resultados negativos sobre el bienestar de la sociedad. ; Grecia aínda non atopou o camiño cara á súa recuperación desde que a súa economía se contraese ano tras ano desde o 2008. Arguméntase neste artigo que o factor central deste resultado foi a dinámica de financiamento dos países máis involucrados no endebedamento grego, que foi considerablemente maior e que influíu máis negativamente sobre a economía grega que o deficiente e dispendioso manexo fiscal no que puideron incorrer diferentes gobernos. O ímpeto mostrado polos servizos financeiros non correspondeu á debilidade do sector real, pois o endebedamento e os fluxos financeiros foron utilizados sen restrición ningunha para satisfacer os intereses dos acredores. Neste traballo realízase unha análise das canles que foron alimentando a débeda grega no contexto proposto por Minsky (1992) de inestabilidade financeira, que ten lugar cando unha economía transita desde a estabilidade financeira cara a un escenario de inestabilidade soportado en dúas variables determinantes: os altos e esaxerados xuros do servizo da débeda e mais o tipo de axentes posuidores dos activos de débeda. Os xuros do servizo da débeda contraída polo Goberno desde a súa incorporación á zona euro xunto ao forte impulso do financiamento provocaron que a débeda se convertese nunha bóla de neve xigante, mentres que o cambio nos posuidores de débeda impediu que o Goberno puidese cumprir coas estritas e onerosas reformas gobernamentais e macroeconómicas, que repercutiron directamente sobre a capacidade de pagamento dos Gobernos gregos e que provocaron resultados negativos sobre o benestar da sociedade.
