La situación socioeconómica latinoamericana de estos años ha sido calamitosa. En apoyo de los llamados «reajustes» macroeconómicos que vienen agravado sus efectos, quienes defienden las políticas neoliberales alegan que lo que padecemos sólo es el empobrecimiento que preludia nuevos desarrollos y prosperidad. Tal aseveración, esencialmente ideológica, parodia el dogma místico según el cual sólo el sufrimiento abre el camino al paraíso. Sin embargo, el argumento contradice los informes de importantes organismos internacionales acerca de lo que viene sucediendo en la región y sobre lo que puede esperarse de los próximos años.

The report incorporates a fundamental idea in its title: what is now "environmental assessment" should become "impact assessment". The Panel recommends that: an Impact Assessment Commission should be established as an independent, arm's length government agency, "with a broad leadership mandate to conduct project, region-based and strategic-level assessments. …. The Commission would also be mandated to generate its own independent science so that assessments are evidence-based and agency-led… and the Panel should commit to ensuring that the projects are not developed without the early involvement of potentially affected Indigenous peoples and the public. "

The future growth of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) depends on upgrading technology, exporting and coupling domestic technology efforts while improving their position in global value chains. Current policies in the region are not geared to these tasks, despite the availability of huge financial opportunities in the form of EU structural funds. Existing policies are overly focused on research and development (R&D) and neglect sources of productivity growth, such as management practices, skills, quality, and engineering. The challenge is how to design industrial and innovation policies so that they promote modernization and drive structural change.

This paper explores the causal influence of access to Western television programming on voting behavior. We exploit a natural experiment involving access to West German TV within the German Democratic Republic in which only geography and topography determined the allocation of individuals to treatment and control groups. Focusing on both the shares of extremist parties and voter turnout, we find that in the post-reunification decade in which TV content was harmonized, regions that already had access to Western TV broadcasts before reunification experience lower vote shares of extremist parties and higher voter turnout.

This report consists of a comprehensive overview of labour market institutions in the small Pacific island countries in order to propose recommendations to improve the performance of their labour markets. We pay particular attention to three countries: Fiji, Palau and Papua New Guinea. We focus on the main pillars of labour market institutions, as employment protection legislation, minimum wage, and labour organization. The analysis considers the possibilities for institutional change in the next future. The main guidelines for eventual reforms are discussed, for the region as a whole and for the above three countries.

Decades of research across several disciplines have produced substantial evidence that labor unions, on balance, reduce economic disparities. But unions are complicated, multifaceted organizations straddling markets and politics. Much of their equality-promoting influence occurs through their ability to reduce class-based inequity in politics and public policy. Declining unionization across much of the developed world is eroding workers' bargaining power. Reduced economic leverage puts pressure on union solidarity and weakens labor-based political movements. Important research design problems and significant heterogeneity across unions, regions, countries, and time imply a continued need for more work.

Selektive Wanderungsbewegungen, Überalterung und Schrumpfung bestimmen seit zwei Dekaden den Kurs des sozialen Wandels in zahlreichen ländlichen Regionen Deutschlands. Eine flächendeckende und effiziente Ausgestaltung ländlicher Gemeinden mit Versorgungsstrukturen und -gütern kann immer weniger geleistet werden. Für die Erfüllung sowohl alltäglich anfallender Versorgungsbedürfnisse als auch für die Ausübung beruflicher Tätigkeiten oder Freizeitaktivitäten ist räumliche Mobilität daher in zunehmendem Maß erforderlich. Die Chance der Bürger in das gesellschaftliche Leben integriert zu sein, ist demnach insbesondere im ländlichen Raum wesentlich geprägt durch die Möglichkeit räumlich mobil zu sein. Weiterhin werden politische Zielsetzungen vor dem Hintergrund des Klimawandels formuliert. Etwa Verkehrsbelastungen zu minimieren und Emissionen und Ressourcenverbrauch zu senken sind seit 2002 in der Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie der Bundesregierung verankert. In diesen komplexen Entwicklungen wird die Notwendigkeit eines Umdenkens gesehen, aus welchen zahlreiche Bemühungen erwachsen, den Verkehr ökologisch nachhaltig zu gestalten bzw. mit Mitteln technologischer Entwicklung zu substituieren.

Der vorliegende Band nimmt am Beispiel Roms und des Maghreb übereinstimmende und kontrastierende Modi der Aneignung materieller Hinterlassenschaften der Antike in den Blick. Während sich beide Räume politisch und kulturell in unterschiedliche Richtungen bewegen, wird die Antike alternativ als eigene oder fremde Vergangenheit konstruiert. Der pragmatische Zugriff zeitigt strukturell ähnliche organisatorische, logistische und rechtlichlenkende Praktiken. ; Using the example of Rome and the Maghreb, this volume examines corresponding and contrasting modes of the appropriation of material remains of Classical Antiquity. As the two regions moved in different directions politically and culturally, societies construed Classical Antiquity as either their own or an alien past. Pragmatic recourse led to structural similarities in organization, logistics and governance.

El trabajo intenta presentar de forma concisa parte de las discusiones que se han desarrolladoa lo largo del tiempo sobre el concepto-idea democracia. El objetivo es reflexionar la importancia de este concepto en nuestra historia y en nuestro presente para toda nuestra región latinoamericana. El recorrido del trabajo permite encontrar una categoría que quizá pueda ser profundizada: democracias para la liberación. La discusión de esta última categoría lleva a repensar los procesos caracterizados como democracias en la emergencia transmoderna, a las que en este trabajo se las reinterpreta como democracias transmodernas.

In recent years, global natural disasters have been frequent and resulted in great casualties and property loss. Since Wenchuan earthquake, the disaster emergency rescue system of China has obtained considerable development in various aspects including team construction, task scheduling, personnel training, facilities and equipments, logistics, etc. On April 25, 2015, an earthquake that measured 8.1 on the Richter scale attacked Nepal. Chinese government firstly organized a medical team, named China Medical Team, and sent it to the attacked region in Nepal to implement medical rescue. The medical team completed the rescue mission successfully and creatively based on their experiences.

Die Gemeinde Saanen unterstützt seit Jahren grössere und kleinere Anlässe in der Region Gstaad-Saanenland. Mit einer grossen Vielfalt an Veranstaltungen sollen die Attraktivität gesteigert sowie der Ganzjahrestourismus gestärkt werden. Über die Jahre hinweg hat sich durch die aktive Unterstützungspolitik der Einwohnergemeinde ein vielseitiges Portfolio an Anlässen entwickelt. Herauszustreichen sind dabei die sechs Grossanlässe der Einwohnergemeinde Saanen, die das touristische Angebot massgeblich aufwerten und wesentlich zur Positionierung der Destination beitragen. Basierend auf einem Wirkungsmodell und einer empirischen Analyse der regionalwirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Grossanlässe wurde der Event Performance Index (EPI) entwickelt. Das Saaner Modell des EPI berücksichtigt die wichtigsten wirtschaftlichen, sozialen sowie ökologischen Bereiche und bewertet die Anlässe anhand von sieben Kriterien. Anhand des resultierenden EPI berechnet das Tool direkt einen monetären Unterstützungsbeitrag. Die Anwendung des Bewertungstools ermöglicht es somit einer Gemeinde oder einer Destination, die finanzielle Unterstützung von Anlässen transparent, systematisch und im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu gestalten.

China has significant revisionist objectives in Southeast Asia, including revamping the existing regional security architecture and strategic realignment, reforming the current regional political and security institutions, revising the rules and norms that help regulate regional relations, and aspiring to play a bigger role in regional agenda-setting. Beijing has achieved some success in changing the regional status quo through its good-neighbourliness policy over the past 20 years. But the intricate South China Sea issue is likely to prevent China from fulfilling its revisionist aspirations in the region in the decades to come. (China/GIGA)
