El aumento del movimiento guerrillero en los municipios cundinamarqueses proximos a Bogota refleja una contradiccion fundamental: el crecimiento de la guerrilla en areas con presencia estatal y un relativamente alto grado de desarrollo. En el area urbana los habitantes cuentan con educacion y salud para la mayoria de la poblacion, y la cobertura de servicios publicos es extensa. Sin embargo, en esta zona en los ultimos anos se ha presentado un alto ingreso a las filas de las FARC, lo que ha permitido incluso el surgimiento de nuevos frentes guerrilleros. Este articulo trata de indagar por que en Cundinamarca, especialmente en la Sabana de Bogota, los planes de crecimiento guerrillero han tenido exito. (Anal Polit/DÜI)

La dolarizacion ha sido habilmente presentada como un nuevo modelo economico. Los empresarios de Guayaquil, los socialcristianos y, finalmente, el gobierno de Jamil Mahuad, con la dolarizacion, han llevado al Ecuador al salto al vacio. Con una politica economica extremadamente simplista y rigida y la eliminacion del Sucre como moneda nacional, se pretendio con Mahuad y se pretende con Noboa encontrar un principio de solucion a los problemas economicos del pais. Pero, es la dolarizacion un nuevo modelo economico o, por el contrario, es la radicalizacion del mismo nefasto modelo neoliberal ? (Ecuad Debate/DÜI)

This paper is based on the author's doctoral thesis, "La Construction of the University Power Agenda," which recounted the 1999 student conflict at the National Autonomous U of Mexico (UNAM) over the university's decision to raise tuition fees. UNAM was closed for 10 months. The author conducted a representative questionnaire survey of 766 students (of different educational levels & academic disciplines) on 22, 23, & 27 Mar 1999 to measure student opinion about the fee increase & the conflict. An exacerbating factor in the conflict was the high level of political activity that year, leading up to the national elections. Most of the students were against the fee increases, but they were also against the protest & violence on the part of some students. Adapted from the source document.

The processes of capitalist globalization carry major threats to many communities & to many population sectors of different societies, as well as to the expression of identity previously acquired by them. However, these processes give way to opportunities for new & more flexible ways for people to construct their own identity & to conform as subjects through distinct forms of individuality & social & cultural collectiveness. Presented in illustration are two case studies of ethnocultural politicization in Mexico. 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

In this article the political figure of Alberto Lista y Aragon is analysed under a conceptual methodology and a detailed review of historical references used by this author in his writings is also given. Even if this author, as well as the group of editors of El Censor newspaper, has been the object of general criticism owing to his alleged ideological inconsistency, this article points out not only the political coherence of Alberto Lista y Aragon but also the leading role played by this author in the definition of Spanish "moderantismo".

The present essay is about a new approach of Latin America's labor world deriving from different explanatory proposals found in recent IDB researchers' studies.

(3) The determinants of labor supply, including salaries & labor unions, are explained. In the end, certain critical elements are provided for a better understanding of the IDB's proposals. 2 Tables, 2 Figures, 1 Diagrama, 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

The author discusses the Zedillo administration proposal for modernizing public administration. Was this proposal in effect novel & was it as important as it was made out to be? Was it boxed in by formal aspects, as similar programs in the past had been? The author points to the fact that modernization in this area was a commitment that became formalized in a program -- Promap -- & she discusses the two main issues that it addressed: the evaluation of public administration & career bureaucrats/civil service. The author compares the program's goals with its achievements & concludes that it was more successful in other aspects, not as important as these two. Adapted from the source document.
