Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2017, the third report in the series, offers insights into how laws and regulations affect private sector development for agribusinesses, including producer organizations and other agricultural entrepreneurs. Globally comparable data and scored indicators encourage regulations that ensure the safety and quality of agricultural inputs, goods and services but are not too costly or burdensome. The goal is to facilitate the operation of agribusinesses and allow them to thrive in a socially and environmentally responsible way, enabling them to provide essential agricultural inputs and services to farmers that could increase their productivity and profits. Regional, income-group and country-specific trends and data observations are presented for 62 countries and across 12 topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, transport, water, ICT, land, livestock, environmental sustainability and gender. Data are current as of June 30, 2016. For more information, please see http://eba.worldbank.org

El propósito de este libro es someter a debate desde el concepto mismo de publicidad oficial, hasta los requisitos que debe tener una adecuada regulación de la misma para asegurar que no sea un dique para el ejercicio de los derechos de libertad de expresión y de información en un contexto de pluralidad de medios. El tema se aborda tanto desde una perspectiva comparada, como de nuestra historia reciente, considerando los distintos momentos por los que ha transitado la intención de regular la publicidad oficial. El libro está organizado alrededor de tres apartados: 1) la discusión sobre la normatividad que regula a la publicidad oficial, tomando en cuenta referencias internacionales, sobre todo latinoamericanas; 2) el desarrollo de la regulación sobre publicidad oficial en México, poniendo especial énfasis en el proceso reciente que derivó en la promulgación de una Ley General de Comunicación Social que fue cuestionada por no cumplir con los estándares internacionales y 3) una reflexión sobre el inadecuado desempeño de la publicidad oficial en México, así como sobre el papel de los medios de comunicación en el contexto actual.
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves.
