Despite a century of research into residential settlement patterns, not enough is understood about the patterns of immigrant settlement. This topical issue requires radical thinking, particularly as it is currently dealt with by a range of disciplines, each of which tends to rely on its own research paradigms. There is an underlying problem surrounding research into the relationship between society and space. Whilst the social sciences tend to lack an understanding of the independent contribution of the built environment to the way in which communities change over time, the spatial sciences lack an understanding of the political and cultural dynamics underpinning statistical measures of segregation. There is a need for an interdisciplinary approach to take account of both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of cities and migration. The aim of the UCL Cities and Migration working group is to challenge the orthodox view of the relation between social structures and the urban environment over time and to cross traditional research boundaries with a combination of architectural, geographical, sociological, anthropological and historical approaches to the topic of segregation. This report summarises the discussions which took place in May 2010 at the invitation of the UCL Grand Challenge: Sustainable Cities. A gathering of thirty academics and other interested parties came together to hear presentations by UCL scholars from The Bartlett (Sonia Arbaci), Geography (Pablo Mateos), Geomatic Engineering (Muki Haklay) and Public Health (Ilaria Geddes). These were followed by responses from three invited experts: Professor Pnina Werbner (Social Anthropology, Keele), Professor Ceri Peach (Social Geography, Oxford) and Professor Ludi Simpson (Population Studies, Manchester). The following report is the distillation by the UCL academics of the workshop discussions the event's Chair, Laura Vaughan, and does not necessarily replicate the views of the participants.

War on the borderlands: the Southern borders of the Spanish Empire and the dynamics of the conflict in the middle decades of the eighteenth centuryRESUMENEste trabajo analiza la constitución de las fronteras como espacios sociales, donde se construyen entramados relacionales fundamentales para comprender la dinámica de los hechos acaecidos en el espacio en cuestión: las pampas, desde la tercera década del siglo XVIII. Analizando el conflicto y la guerra como prácticas que alteran las relaciones sociales de la frontera, indagamos en la afectación de los intereses de las partes involucradas: el gobierno colonial, las poblaciones hispanocriollas y las parcialidades nativas, y los énfasis colocados en el registro documental, particularmente para el caso de los malones. De esta manera, se exhibe una imagen de la frontera pampeana como un espacio de conflicto cuasi-permanente, en que la situación descrita se convierte en la legitimación discursiva para las acciones de los actores que componen el espacio social, tanto en forma punitiva como pacífica, como lo serán las misiones jesuitas instaladas a partir de 1740. Así, la Compañía de Jesús y sus reducciones se constituyen en la excusa metodológica por medio de la cual podemos abordar las poblaciones nativas del espacio pampeano y, centralmente, su estructura política.Palabras claves: Fronteras; conflicto; pampas; jesuitas. ABSTRACTThis work analyses the constitution of the frontiers as social spaces where constructed relational webs result fundamental for understanding the dynamics of the events that took place in the pampas from the third decade of the eighteenth century. Through the analysis of conflict and war as practices that alter the social relationships at the frontier, we inquire about the affectation of the interests of those parts involved – the colonial government, Hispanic-Creole populations and native factions- and about the emphasis placed in the documental record, particularly in the case of the Indian raids. This way, the frontier of the Pampas is shown as an almost permanent conflict space where the described situation becomes discursive legitimation for the actions of those constituting the social space, either punitively or pacifically, such as the Jesuit missions settled at the beginnings of 1740. As such, the Company of Jesus and his reductions becomes the methodological excuse trough which it is possible to approach the native populations of the pampas and, specially, their political structure.Key words: Borderlands; conflict; pampas; Jesuits.

The article analyzes the attitudes towards democracy that the "Latinobarometer" public opinion project has registered between 1996 and 2018 in Central America. This study is divided into three parts: the theoretical and documentary discussion, the analysis of political attitudes with the support of statistical tools and the discussion of the results. In the first, a review of the literature on political culture and democratization in the region is carried out, and then the conceptual category that was chosen to understand the responses of Central Americans regarding democracy as a form of government is based; in the second, a general description is made of what allows us to observe the time series from a general and logarithmic perspective; as well as the interpretation of the results obtained from the application of the Unit Root test to identify the degree of autocorrelation and the Microsoft Excel forecasting tool to make the forecasts for the years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022; and, finally, in the third part, the results obtained from the analysis carried out and the tests applied are analyzed from a conclusive narrative. ; Se presenta un análisis sobre las actitudes políticas hacia la democracia que el proyecto de opinión pública "Latinobarómetro" ha registrado entre 1996 y 2018 en Centroamérica. Este estudio está dividido en tres partes: la discusión teórica y documental, el análisis de las actitudes políticas con apoyo de herramientas estadísticas y la discusión de los resultados. En la primera se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre cultura política y democratización en la región y posteriormente se fundamenta la categoría conceptual que se escogió para comprender las repuestas de los centroamericanos respecto a la democracia como forma de gobierno; en la segunda se realiza una descripción general de lo que nos permite observar las series de tiempo desde una perspectiva general y logarítmica; así como la interpretación de los resultados que se obtuvieron de la aplicación de la prueba de Raíz Unitaria para identificar el grado de autocorrelación y de la herramienta de previsión de Microsoft Excel para realizar los pronósticos de los años 2019, 2020, 2021 y 2022; y, finalmente, en la tercera parte se analizan desde una narrativa conclusiva los resultados que se obtuvieron del análisis realizado y de las pruebas aplicadas.

This book provides a vivid and accessible history of first-generation immigrants to England in the later Middle Ages. Accounting for upwards of two percent of the population and coming from all parts of Europe and beyond, immigrants spread out over the kingdom, settling in the countryside as well as in towns, taking work as agricultural labourers, skilled craftspeople and professionals. Often encouraged and welcomed, sometimes vilified and victimised, immigrants were always on the social and political agenda.0Immigrant England is the first book to address a phenomenon and issue of vital concern to English people at the time, to their descendants living in the United Kingdom today and to all those interested in the historical dimensions of immigration policy, attitudes to ethnicity and race and concepts of Englishness and Britishness. --

Trabajo de Fin de Máster en Democracia y Buen Gobierno, curso 2014-2015 ; [ES] En la actualidad el fenómeno de la globalización ha obligado a los estados a organizarse para hacerle frente. Uno de los proyectos más importantes para tal fin son los sistemas de integración. El ejemplo más representativo son la Unión Europea y el sistema de integración centroamericana (SICA), quienes han sabido leer los tiempos actuales y tomar medidas encaminadas al desarrollo de sus estados miembros y sus sociedades ; [EN] Nowadays the globalization phenomenon has forced states to organize themselves, so they can this situation. One of the most important projects for this purpose is the integration of systems. The best example are the European Union and the Central American Integration System (SICA), which knows how to read the times and takes measures to develop their member states and their societies.
