Este trabajo analiza las propiedades sistémicas de las interacciones en las redes de gobernanza. Se identifican cuatro propiedades básicas: la autonomía individual de los participantes, la autonomía política de la red, la interdependencia de sus componentes y el dinamismo. También se analizan cuatro mecanismos y procesos para la integración y toma de decisiones: la confianza, la traducción, la negociación y la deliberación. Se concluye que para funcionar adecuadamente, las redes deben lograr un delicado equilibrio entre estos cuatro elementos. ; This paper analyzes the systemic properties of the interaction that takes place in governance networks. We identify four basic properties: individual autonomy of participants, political autonomy of the network, interdependence of its members, and dynamism. We also analyze four integrative and decision-making mechanisms and processes: trust, translation, negotiation and deliberation. Our main conclusion is that to function adequately, networks must achieve a delicate balance among these four elements.

Obiageli Ezekwesili, exministra d'Educació de Nigèria, va impulsar la campanya internacional #BringBackOurGirls per a reivindicar l'alliberament de 276 xiquetes segrestades pel grup terrorista Boko Haram al nord-est del país. L'acció va tenir una enorme repercussió internacional i personalitats com Michelle Obama o Angelina Jolie van sumar-se a la campanya. Hui en dia bona part de les xiquetes són lliures, però la vulneració dels drets de les dones continua.

Les migracions creen complexes xarxes de relacions socials entre migrants en el seu lloc de residència i els seus familiars, amics i coneguts tant en el país de origen com en altres països. A través d'aquestes xarxes transnacionals circulen idees, informació, serveis, diners i béns, que tenen un fort impacte en futurs migracions, el benestar dels individus així com en les economies i polítiques de les comunitats implicades. Un nou estudi realitzat per investigadors del GRAFO i de Pennsylvania State University sistematitza les diferents metodologies adoptades per a estudiar aquesta realitat "transnacional" i revisa les seves aportacions. ; Las migraciones crean complejas redes de relaciones sociales entre migrantes en su lugar de residencia y sus familiares, amigos y conocidos en el país de origen y en otros países.

Through these networks, ideas, information, services, money and goods circulate, which have a strong impact on future migrations, individual wellbeing, and the economies and politics of the involved communities. A new study conducted by researchers of the GRAFO research group and Pennsylvania State University systematizes the different methodologies that have been adopted to study this transnational reality and reviews their contributions.

This document reflects the work that has been carried out in the project the last nine months, in which two of the today's most emergent technologies have been combined: Near Field Communication (NFC) and the social networks. The project appeared from the will of the companies where the project has been carried out (IHG and nfc studio) of making a demonstration in the Mobile World Congress 2009 of a tool that allowed the combination of the two technologies quoted before. This demonstration was performed in the stand of the company NXP. On one hand, the very short distance data transmission technology NFC has been used. This technology is already implemented to perform payments using the mobile telephone in public transport in many cities from all over the world, and a pilot test has already made in the Barcelona underground. On the other hand, the social networks, and especially Facebook and Twitter, are becoming more important in our societies. If few months back they were only an additional way to be in touch with our friends, in the present they are an indispensable tool of communication: the great brands have their spaces there, the radio and television channels use them to provide interactivity to the programmes, and even some governments they have opened a new communication channel with the citizens using the social networks. The result of the project is a system that allows, from the ease of use that provides NFC technology, to be able to send information to Twitter and Facebook avoiding the need to type the text by hand. When approaching the mobile phone to an information point, an application will be launched and will send a SMS to the social network to update the user status. Besides, two additional functionalities have also been added: being able to know the song that is playing on any of the iCatFM radio channels and being able to issue a vote using the mobile telephone.
