El espacio geográfico del Quijote en Castilla-La Mancha es un tema en el que se había trabajado poco. Los responsables de la presente edición consideraron que su tratamiento era necesario en el contexto del cuarto centenario de la publicación del Quijote, momento en el que se buscó vincular esta novela a la identidad y al desarrollo territorial. Los aspectos analizados se sitúan en estas coordenadas: en primer lugar, en la consideración de la Literatura en general como fuente de conocimiento del paisaje geográfico, después en las aportaciones de la Geografía para entender con mayor detalle el territorio en tiempos de Cervantes; a continuación el análisis geográfico del Quijote desde planteamientos sistémicos y humanísticos, y por último, los valores patrimoniales y de desarrollo territorial que se pueden articular a través de la Ruta de don Quijote.
The paper considers the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the labor market issues. PPP consists of the collaboration between private agent(s) and the public sector in order to achieve a specific goal. There are many examples of partnerships between public and private agents in key areas such as infrastructure, healthcare and education, but PPP has not been sufficiently developed in the context of the labor market. This paper is structured into three parts: an economic analysis of PPP, examples of the most relevant PPPs in several different countries (with in-depth descriptions of successful examples) and recommendations. The economic analysis motivates and gives importance to PPP...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
For decades, Mexico has been one of the world’s top non-OPEC oil exporters, but since the 2004 peak and subsequent decline of the massive offshore oilfield—Cantarell—the prospects for the country have worsened. Living with Oil takes a unique look at the cultural and economic dilemmas in this locale, focusing on residents in the fishing community of Isla Aguada, Campeche, who experienced the long-term repercussions of a 1979 oil spill that at its height poured out 30,000 barrels a day, a blowout eerily similar to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster. Tracing the interplay of the global energy market and the struggle it creates between citizens, the state, and multinational corporations, ...
