This article argues that whilst indigenous people are central to the Mexican president's official developmentalist discourse of bringing prosperity to the country's marginalised and poor, their needs during the COVID-19 pandemic have not been met and their interests have been sidelined. Whilst experiencing serious loss of trading revenue, negative impacts of misinformation, and lack of access to appropriate healthcare, indigenous Mexicans also faced the aggressive advance on their territories of large-scale infrastructure projects, which have become the backbone of the president's strategy for countering the economic recession caused by the pandemic. The discontinuation of relevant legal means to challenge the advance of the megaprojects during the pandemic effectively threatened indigenous people's democratic rights to protect their land, identities and way of life.

Abstract The article seeks to analyze the development of deforestation governance actions in the Amazon, based on the analysis of two case studies using the Strategic Action Fields theory (FLIGSTEIN; MCADAM, 2012). It analyzes the experience of mobilization for the removal of the city of Paragominas/PA from the deforestation Black List and the development of deforestation control actions in the São Jorge settlement, in the city of Cidelândia / Maranhão. Interviews with main actors and satellite images were used to analyze the two cases. The results indicate the relevance of using the Strategic Action Fields theory to gain an understanding of deforestation governance processes in the Amazon, highlighting the importance of central concepts to this theory, such as the performance of skilled social actors and the construction of internal units of governance.

Resumen: En el período 1910-1930, la educación nacionalista fue fundamental en el currículo de las escuelas primarias en la Argentina. El Consejo Nacional de educación, organismo dependiente del gobierno federal, estableció la normativa para adaptar a los inmigrantes a la cultura nacional y para contrarrestar la influencia de las teorías colectivistas e internacionalistas en las nuevas generaciones. La 'historia patria', con sus símbolos, ceremonias y prácticas escolares cotidianas fue un vehículo fundamental, dando un papel central a los episodios de la independencia política, lograda en 1816. En este artículo se analizan las continuidades y cambios del patriotismo escolar, en su relación con la renovación pedagógica y con la oposición sostenida desde la prensa anarquista, frente al militarismo y al adoctrinamiento de la infancia.

The foreign policy of Uzbekistan has become more dynamic and the country has moved confidently along the path of its interests since Shavkat M. Mirziyoyev came to power. The new President of Uzbekistan has launched an ambitious course to get the Republic the status of a regional leader. Uzbekistan actively uses soft power as one of the tools of its foreign policy. The author analyzes and compares the activities of the previous and current leadership of Uzbekistan in implementing integration processes and extending its influence to other states of the Central Asian region. In the conclusion, the author notes the pronounced course of modern Uzbekistan in interaction not only with the countries of the region, but also with such powers as Russia, China and the United States.

In the past 30 years, discourses on queerness and the central political issues of LGBT life that originate in the United States-- like same-sex marriage-- have been exported and used to identify the presence of queer community in other parts of the world. QUEER KOREA brings together historical, ethnographic, and literary essays that establish a queer historiography of Korea. Editor Todd Henry asserts that Western forms of queerness, and the reading practices used to identify queerness in the American academy, are insufficient to describe the range of queer life on the Korean peninsula. He argues that particular developments in Korean modernity-- including its histories of colonialism, nationalism, and authoritarianism from the turn of the century to the Cold War-- have informed the language and politics of queerness in Korea and the Korean diaspora.

Intermediary organisations have increasingly played a role in payments for agri-environment services across Europe over the last two decades. However, the economics literature has so far not examined the impact of this new governance mechanism on environmental protection and on individuals' behaviour. We develop a new theoretical economic framework to compare an incentive mechanism using intermediaries, such as environmental knowledge brokers and information providers, with a standard central governance mechanism, in terms of environmental impact. We show that the emergence of knowledge intermediaries is particularly effective where farmers initially have low environmental awareness, or when the public institution organising the scheme is insufficiently aware of individuals' characteristics. Our findings provide theoretical support for previous empirical results on payment schemes for agri-environment measures

Resumo: O artigo analisa, a partir de contrapontos entre princípios normativos e experiências vividas por jovens rurais, os limites do Pronaf Jovem na construção social de uma juventude rural sucessora na agricultura familiar. A pesquisa combinou levantamento documental e estudo de caso. No estudo de caso, realizado em municípios da Região Central do Rio Grande do Sul, foram produzidos dados qualitativos e quantitativos. O Pronaf Jovem idealiza a construção de uma juventude rural autônoma, pluriativa, integrada em instituições de desenvolvimento rural e sucessora na agricultura familiar. Na realidade pesquisada, os jovens rurais não conseguiram acessar crédito rural na linha Pronaf Jovem. Eles investem em diferenciadas estratégias de emancipação pessoal, que raramente se encaminham pelos projetos de sucessão hereditária na agricultura familiar.

International audience ; Dans une atmosphère médiatique très passionnée, des concepts imprécis et des approches essentialisantes échouent souvent à rendre compte du rôle présent et à venir de ces composantes centrales de la scène politique méditerranéenne que sont les courants islamistes. Ce rôle ne peut être pleinement compris que si l'on considère aussi qu'il s'inscrit dans des situations diverses et changeantes, et surtout dans des rivalités bien plus profanes et politiques que théologiques ou existentielles. Il importe donc de lire l'action de ces formations non pas au regard d'un idéal-type, étranger au contexte régional concerné, mais bien à l'aune des antagonismes au sein desquels elle se déploie : les formations islamistes se sont construites face à des régimes autoritaires que souvent elles continuent à combattre, et sont, sur ce terrain, en concurrence avec d'autres.

Il presente elaborato analizza gli aspetti criminologici ed economici sottesi al fenomeno al fine di evidenziare le particolarità, le ricadute sul tessuto economico e sui consociati. Successivamente l'attenzione si sposterà sull'analisi comparata analizzando: la legislazione sovranazionale, la tutela penale scelta da Francia, Austria, Inghilterra, Germania e Spagna, i modelli di tutela possibili e la compatibilità del modello della concorrenza con l'ordinamento italiano. Centrale sarà analisi: dell'art. 2635 c.c. ripercorrendone la storia dagli anni Novanta fino alla modifica operata mediante la L. 3/2019, dell'art. 2635-bis c.c. e art. 2635-ter c.c. Infine, sarà considerato il punto di vista dell'impresa, con brevi cenni al rapporto soft law-art. 2635 c.c. e la responsabilità dell'ente per corruzione attiva ai sensi del D.Lgs 231/2001.

Creation of more and better jobs is a central issue of ILO's Decent Work Agenda, OECD's jobs strategy and the European Union's quality of work policies. While recent reports show the increase of new jobs in the European Union, the number of quality jobs is diminishing. On the other hand, there is a mismatch between the education system and labour market needs. According to statistical data, Croatia is one of the EU Member States with the highest rate of precarious work and among those with the highest share of fixed-term employment in total employment. Almost a quarter of the Croatian population is at risk of poverty or social exclusion because they are in lack of access to social protection and benefits usually associated with full-time standard employment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has repercussions well beyond the confines of borders. National border policies can thwart international efforts to combat the spread of infectious diseases. These problems are especially relevant for the United States with the spectacle of President Trump's "big, beautiful border wall" used as leverage to maintain political and economic power domestically and globally while confronting the coronavirus pandemic. The focus of this paper is the implementation of Trump's Zero Tolerance Policy, Migrant Protection Protocols, and the Asylum Cooperation Agreement, all aimed primarily at migrants and refugees from Central America to prevent entrance into the U.S. using the border security apparatus. These policies have adverse consequences for people dwelling throughout the Americas as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads.

In the following pages, the conference by Dr. Sebastián Plá Perez, from UNAM (México), given as part of the launch of the Central American Network of Research and Teaching in Social Studies and Critical Citizenship, is reproduced. Social studies and critical citizenship are problematized in the writing as fields that produce antagonisms in contemporary societies, due to the political character of their teaching. ; A continuación, se reproduce la conferencia del Dr. Sebastián Plá Pérez, de la UNAM (México), dictada como parte del lanzamiento de la Red Centroamericana de Investigación y Docencia en Estudios Sociales y Ciudadanía Crítica (RECIDEC), el 28 de mayo de 2019. En el escrito se problematizan los estudios sociales y la ciudadanía como campos que producen antagonismos en las sociedades actuales, debido al carácter político de su enseñanza.

A US soldier who claims he was bored one day, memorises and performs the dance from the cult film Napoleon Dynamite in a mess tent somewhere in Iraq during the war. Napoleon Dynamite by Me is my intervention which explores themes of narcissism, masculinities and state-controlled violence. The soldier's movements are both aggressive and playful as he parodies a caricatured effeminacy. His gestures may appear sexualised or threatening, or silly and even vulnerable within his dance sequence. Black and white imagery of the dancing soldier is juxtaposed with broken images from a staged terrorism alert which took place in central London and was broadcast across news media in the UK. Female victims scream as they are supported by male paramedics. Terrorism it would appear is stereotypically gendered.

Resumen: En este trabajo analizamos la representación de la Iglesia como aparato ideológico en el desenlace de la novela Capítulos que se le olvidaron a Cervantes, del autor ecuatoriano Juan Montalvo. Nos concentramos en su final, pues entendemos que dicha parte resume las principales representaciones del autor vinculadas a esta institución. El análisis será complementado con una contextualización del origen de la novela y de las premisas ideológicas centrales de Montalvo, apoyándonos en remisiones a algunos de sus trabajos ensayísticos. Asimismo, comentaremos las repercusiones que dichas representaciones tuvieron en la formalización de los dos personajes medulares de su novela. Para atender a estos propósitos, seguiremos los conceptos teóricos de Aparatos Ideológicos del Estado (AIE) según Althusser (2013) y de Ideología y Representaciones Sociales conforme van Djik (1999).
