En el contexto multicultural reconocido por la Constitución colombiana del 1991, los
asuntos étnicos cobran cada día más relevancia en función de su articulación con los
procesos de construcción ciudadana. Sin embargo, los medios de información colombianos,
a pesar de estar celebrando el bicentenario de una supuesta "independencia", se encuentran
todavía anclados a una visión "colonial" y hegemónica de "lo étnico" que ha fortalecido
una meta-realidad excluyente y que ha imposibilitado el desarrollo de una integración
pacífica y efectiva de las comunidades indígenas del país: al revés, las ha transformadas en
"voces ausentes". La presente exposición quiere ser una reflexión sobre los vicios y las
virtudes del periodismo colombiano con relación a los asuntos étnicos. A partir del análisis
de algunos casos de estudio y compartiendo la perspectiva de Antonio Negri acerca de las
"grietas" del Imperio, es posible pensar a un periodismo comprometido para la paz, con
nuevas modalidades operativas y nuevas estrategias de acción para la construcción de tejido
social y el fomento de políticas públicas orientadas hacia el desarrollo humano.

This paper examines the current health care reform issues in Canada. The provincial health insurance plans of the 1960s and 1970s had the untoward effects of limiting the federal government's clout for cost control and of promoting a system centered on inpatient and medical care. Recently, several provincial commissions reported that the current governance structures and management processes are outmoded in light of new knowledge, new fiscal realities and the evolution of power among stake-holders. They recommend decentralized governance and restructuring for better management and more citizen participation. Although Canada's health care system remains committed to safeguarding its guiding principles, the balance of power may be shifting from providers to citizens and "technocrats". Also, all provinces are likely to increase their pressure on physicians by means of salary caps, by exploring payment methods such as capitation, limiting access to costly technology, and by demanding practice changes based on evidence of cost-effectiveness. ; Este artículo examina los temas más recientes en las reformas del sistema de atención a la salud en Canadá. Los planes de seguridad en el sector salud durante los años sesenta y setenta tuvieron efectos inapropiados en cuanto a que limitaron el poder del gobierno federal para controlar costos y promover un sistema centrado en la atención médico-hospitalaria. Recientemente, varias comisiones provinciales reportaron que las actuales estructuras de gobierno y gestión de los procesos no están actualizadas en términos del nuevo conocimiento, las nuevas realidades fiscales y la evolución en las formas de poder entre los grupos de interés. Sus recomendaciones incluyen formas descentralizadas de gobierno y mayor participación ciudadana. A pesar de que el sistema de atención a la salud en Canadá permanece comprometido a garantizar sus principios centrales, el balance de poder estaría cambiando de los proveedores a los ciudadanos y "tecnócratas". Al mismo tiempo, es probable que todas ...

AbstractIdentity has become a key construct in applied linguistics over the past 30 years, as more and more researchers have heeded Norton Peirce's (1995: 12) call for 'a comprehensive theory of social identity that integrates the language learner and the language learning context'. In this article, my aim is to discuss what I see as issues arising in identity research in applied linguistics. I start with a brief consideration of why identity has become so central in applied linguistics, before discussing the poststructuralist model of identity which has been adopted by the vast majority of researchers. I then move to consider three more substantive issues: (1) the potential benefits of a more psychological angle when most language and identity research tends to be predominantly social; (2) the importance of clarifying the interrelationship between individual agency and social structures in language and identity research; and (3) the potential benefits of including a socioeconomic stratification and social class angle in research which tends to prime identity politics (identity inscriptions such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality and language), over the material conditions of life.ResumenLa identidad se ha convertido en un constructo clave en la lingüística aplicada durante los últimos 30 años, dado que cada vez más investigadores han seguido la llamada de Norton Peirce (1995: 12) en lo que se refiere a 'a comprehensive theory of social identity that integrates the language learner and the language learning context'. En este artículo, mi intención es tratar lo que considero como cuestiones claves en las investigaciones sobre la "identidad" en la lingüística aplicada. Empiezo con una breve reflexión sobre por qué la identidad ha llegado a ser tan importante en la lingüística aplicada, para pasar después a examinar el modelo posestructuralista de la identidad que han adoptado la gran mayoría de los investigadores. En segundo lugar paso a considerar tres cuestiones: (1) los beneficios potenciales de una perspectiva más psicológica en este tipo de investigaciones ya que la mayoría de ellas sobre la lingüística y la identidad tienden a considerar fundamentalmente el aspecto social; (2) lo importante que es clarificar la interrelación entre la agencia individual y la estructura social en las investigaciones sobre lingüística e identidad; y (3) los beneficios potenciales de incorporar la estratificación socio-económica y clase social en investigaciones que tienden a dar prioridad a las políticas identitarias (inscripciones de la identidad como la raza, la etnia, el género, la sexualidad, la nacionalidad y la lengua) sobre las condiciones materiales de la vida.

This article makes a historical review to analize the way electoral reforms took place in the last forty years. Three periods are clearly distinguished: the "ilimited protectionism" (López Mateors-Echeverría); the "restrained opposition" (López Portillo-Salinas de Gortari) and "definitive electoral reform" (Zedillo). The article also examines pending issues which are still to be resolved during the processes of democratization of Mexico, such as the the division of powers characteristic of federalism, the organization of pre-campaigns, the extension of suffrage, legislative re-election and constitutional engineering. ; En este artículo, el autor acude al repaso histórico para analizar cómo se fueron dando los procesos de reformas electorales del país en los últimos cuarenta años. Se distinguen claramente, a juicio del autor, tres periodos fundamentales en este sentido: el "proteccionismo ilimitado" (López Mateos- Echeverría); la "oposición restringida" (López Portillo-Salinas de Gortari) y la "reforma electoral definitiva"(Zedillo). El artículo analiza también las asignaturas pendientes que aún quedan por resolver en los procesos de democratización de México, como la división de poderes del federalismo; la organización de las precampañas; la ampliación del voto y la reelección legislativa y la ingeniería constitucional.

Social Networking Sites (SNS) as global providers of Internet services raise new challenges in the field of conflict of laws. The most prominent service providers have their headquarters in the US and their business models allow them to offer global services to users around the world under the same terms or conditions. SNS providers typically have recourse to standard terms intended to be applicable to all their users and include choice of forum and choice of law clauses in favour of US courts and US laws. Against this background, the present contribution analyzes applicable law issues raised by social networking sites from the perspective of the European Union (and its Member States). The article addresses the position of SNS providers in the light of the EU harmonization rules on e-commerce and the influence of the place of establishment in the scope of obligations imposed on them. Also the law applicable to the agreements concluded with users is discussed focusing on the implications of their possible characterization as consumer contracts and on the aspects related to the formation of the contract. Determining the law applicable to online activities involving SNS is also essential for the protection of rights and interests of third parties, in particular with regard to intellectual property and personality rights. Additionally, the effective enforcement of EU law to Internet activities in key areas such as data protection requires now determining the mandatory scope of international application of EU or national law with respect to the activities of SNS.
