Las tasas de crecimiento industrial colombiano en los 30 superaban el 10%, mientras el dinamismo global de la economia era especialmente bajo. Estudia el sector textil que, por si solo, explica la mitad del crecimiento industrial entre 1930-39 y el 67% entre 1940-45. Descarta la influencia que pudo haber jugado la devaluacion y el arancel como aspecto secundario del proceso de auge y relativiza el papel detonante de la demanda. La clave se encontraria en que, bajo condiciones de oferta ilimitada de mano de obra, fue crucial la existencia de una nueva y pujante burguesia nacional que supo aprovechar las oportunidades que brindaba el mercado internacional, a diferencia de otros pequenos paises con economias de enclave donde, como han puesto de manifiesto otros autores (Frank, Cardoso, Fallet

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 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.

In the present paper, the author explores the hypothesis of a political antidemocratic use of former Mexican president Vicente Fox's government's social programs against poverty to favor candidate Felipe Calderon in the electoral competition for the Mexican presidency in July 2006. Through the application of a rigorous methodology, the author analyzes the distribution of the vote in those areas of the country that most benefited from the federal programs against poverty, such as the Local Development Program "Micro-regions," the Program of Human Development "Opportunities," Rural Homing, Temporal Jobs & Elderly Care in Rural Areas. The author reaches a striking conclusion: there is no evidence of the political use of these social programs to benefit Calderon & damage Lopez Obrador. Adapted from the source document.

The author examines how the concept raison d'etat was conceived & shaped. Although this concept is tied up to Machiavelli's thoughts, the author shows that the florentinian thinker did not coin it such as we know & use it nowadays, & paradoxically was one of its contestants, Giovanni Botero, the first one to use this concept in an explicit manner & to analyze it in a systematic way. The essay examines critically Botero's work, an author who was formerly considered as a second line political thinker, although he has provided interesting approaches on topics such as power, governorship & religion. To conclude, the concept raison d'etat was born in the cradle layed by the historical dialectics & confrontation between Machiavelli & his impugnants. Adapted from the source document.
