Uruguay, with a tradition of democratic stability similar to that of Chile and, to a certain extent, Costa Rica, has characteristics which distinguish it within the Latin American continent. Some of these were highlighted during the last few months of 1971 when Uruguay became a center of world attention: The traditional two-party regime was confronted with a conglomeration of political parties of the Left which appeared capable of coming to power through the elections, thus repeating the phenomenon of Chile.On November 24,1971, the largest political demonstration in the history of Uruguay took place. An enormous crowd, wild with enthusiasm, marched through all parts of Montevideo and gathered in front of the parliament building to express its support for the Frente Amplio (Broad Front).

This volume explores organizational legitimacy in business, featuring examples from a variety of industries around the world. Synthesizing the most current theoretical insights and best practices, the contributing authors examine the ways in which organizational legitimacy can be understood, its perceived influence on the market, and the relationship between organizational legitimacy and overall organizational success. The authors draw from different methodological perspectives to develop a holistic approach to organizational legitimacy that transcends the traditional concepts of corporate reputation, business ethics or corporate social responsibility. Historically, efforts to understand how organizations acquire, manage and use legitimacy have applied insights from institutional theory, resource dependence theory, organizational ecology and stakeholder theory, but the field has remained fragmented, despite the profound implications of achieving legitimacy for ensuring organizational stability, survival and sustainability through access to capital, resources and business opportunities, as well as problem solving, performance measurement and stakeholder support. Presenting case studies of successful initiatives, the book addresses: · How organizational legitimacy is defined and measured · How organizations achieve legitimacy and how they acquire resources · How different stakeholders (e.g., consumers, investors, employees) make legitimacy judgments and resource allocation decisions · Whether audiences in the same socio-cultural context arrive at shared legitimacy judgments with regard to a focal organization.

Analysis and comparison of greenhouse gas calculation methodologies in the urban context Últimamente los esfuerzos para disminuir el efecto invernadero antrópico se están redoblando por parte de las administraciones, el calentamiento global es un hecho demostrado por la comunidad científica. Los gobiernos nacionales se han comprometido a disminuir sus emisiones. A esta lucha por parte de los gobiernos nacionales se han unido los gobiernos municipales, ya que las ciudades serán una de las principales damnificadas por el cambio climático y uno de los máximos focos de emisión. Se analizan las principales metodologías de cálculo y sus diferencias para calcular los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) producidos en el contexto urbano Palabras clave:Cambio Climático; Calculo Urbano; Efecto invernadero. Abstract Lately, efforts to reduce the anthropogenic greenhouse effect are being redoubled by administrations, global warming is a fact demonstrated by the scientific community. National governments have committed to reduce their emissions. The municipal governments have joined this fight that national governments are part of, since the cities will be one of the main victims of climate change and one of the main sources of emissions. The main calculation methodologies and their differences to calculate the greenhouse gases (GHG) produced in the urban context are analyzed.
