The rate of unionization (worker's affiliation to trade unions) is one the most valuable indicators in the analysis of organized labor. The recent changes in such rate are a result of several factors. Present time world processes of modernization & globalization, specifically changes in production & working systems & also in hiring modalities, have brought a significant drop in the percentage of unionized workers. In Mexico this rate has been dropping off constantly, harming not only the workers & their own organizations but also the political regime that for decades has been nourished & supported by the network of labor unions & peasant organizations. Thus, with the dwindling of the rate of affiliation to trade unions we have become witnesses of part of the dislocation of the Mexican ancien regime. 6 Tables. Adapted from the source document.

Offers a detailed, graphic first-hand account of the 2 Oct 1968 massacre in Mexico City's Plaza de Tlatelolco. Hundreds of unarmed student & labor protesters & their families were killed by the Mexican army & police during a speech by a leader of the National Strike Council. Military presence & interruptions on university campuses throughout Mexico leading up to 2 Oct are described along with other nonviolent protests in Mexico City's plazas during 1968. The collection of students, professors, labor organizers, workers, & their families that made up the Tlatelolco crowd is described. The growing sense of tension within the crowd is depicted, punctuated by the arrival of military helicopters, vehicles, & troops. The noise of the helicopters drowning out the labor speaker's call for calm is highlighted as the point where the violence & killing began. The account follows a small group of students as they find shelter in a little building along the plaza, witness the military clean-up, surrender, undergo interrogation, & have their student identifications confiscated, & finally convene in a professor's house to find comfort. The account remains frank, controlled, & objective despite the fact that the grandmother, mother, sister, & her husband & children were shot to death in the massacre.

This essay delves into employment & unemployment as central issues of Mexican economy & society, & into public policies taken by the federal government, during both the era of industrialization & growth (1940-1982) & the period of modernization & restructuration (1983-2002). Unemployment increases with low industrialization & with economic recessions. Its effects can be seen mostly in the composition of active & inactive population as well as in the employed & unemployed labor force. The author suggests policies for the promotion of employment in the formal sector, as well as more general & consistent policies aimed to a truly reduction of unemployment & of workers performing informal activities. 5 Tables, 7 References.

Analyzes shifting relations between labor unions and the government since election of President Fox and concomitant defeat of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) by the National Action Party (PAN) in July 2000; Mexico. Summary in English. Focus on the Federation of Mexican Workers (Confederación de Trabajadores Mexicanos, CTM) and the federal public employees union, Federación de Sindicatos de Trabajadores al Servicio del Estado (FSTSE).

Analyzes the political & labor history (1966-2000) of Mexico's CT (Labor Congress). Intervening in relations between Mexican workers & the state, the CT has a major role in developing social & labor policies to improve or control workers' wages. Yet, the CT & state are mutually supportive. Phases in the CT's development are identified, highlighting contradictory goals: (1) strong expansion & contraction (1966-1982); & (2) restructuring & economic modernization (1983-2000). Social & political-electoral implications of the CT's conflicting policies on workers over the past decades are examined. It is suggested that because of changes in trade unionism & the loss of the PRI's power base nationwide in 2000, the CT no longer functions as an organ of political control & discipline. 3 Tables, 11 References.

Tras la promulgación de la Constitución Nacional de 1991 en Colombia, la primera que consagró la plena igualdad de las mujeres frente a los hombres en la historia del país, diversos han sido los análisis que buscan estudiar el tratamiento entre las variantes de género y derecho, en particular existe una amplia producción desde las teorías críticas feministas explicando los avances políticos y sociales que han logrado las mujeres y de forma paralela las conquistas sociales de los ciudadanos pertenecientes a los sectores de las minorías sexuales (LGBTI Lesbianas, Gais, Bisexuales, Transexuales e Intersexuales) como necesarios dentro de un estado de derecho. Sin embargo aún el mundo de las ciencias jurídicas en sus diversas escalas, formas de producción, espacios de debate, enseñanza y la jurisprudencia constitucional en particular siguen siendo espacios en donde prima cierta concepción tradicional de lo masculino y de la Masculinidad Hegemónica que sirve de reproducción de modelos en la sociedad, el presente escrito busca dar cuenta de dichas visiones y proponer un acercamiento al concepto de las Nuevas Masculinidades como instrumento válido para en un futuro entender la producción de los jueces de la Corte Constitucional en Colombia. (texto tomado de la fuente) ; After the enactment of the Colombian Constitution of 1991, the first one that established full equality of women compared to men in the history of the country, there have been several analysis trying to study the treatment between the variations of gender and law. There is a wide production in particular from the feminist critical theories, explaining the political and social advances achieved by women and in a parallel way the social conquests of the citizens from sexual minorities (LGBTI Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex), that are needed within the rule according to higher law. However, even now the world of legal sciences with its different scales, production ways, debate spaces, education and constitutional jurisprudence in ...

We draw attention on the fact that the Riccati-Padé method developed some time ago enables the accurate calculation of bound-state eigenvalues as well as of resonances embedded either in the continuum or in the discrete spectrum. We apply the approach to several one-dimensional models that exhibit different kind of spectra. In particular we test a WKB formula for the imaginary part of the resonance in the discrete spectrum of a three-well potential.
