En este trabajo, se analizan los temas de la rápida industrialización y migración emergente en una zona rural en el sur del estado de Puebla, México, en la región de Tehuacán. La propuesta es cruzar estas variables y entender la forma en la cual los individuos están experimentando procesos de cambio a mediano plazo. El centro del análisis es la migración acelerada y su conexión con la industria maquiladora de exportación y sus crisis con el propósito de proponer una discusión de los argumentos sobre desarrollo, y la emergencia de nuevas comunidades de origen en la migración internacional. Es la reflexión sobre las condiciones que implican un fenómeno de globalización económica asi como un modelo industrial y laboral, y la experiencia de mujeres viviendo estas dos condicionantes de su entorno que se transformó en un lapso de 20 años. La idea principal en el texto es entender que los cambios en la dinámica de la región y los resultados posteriores a la instalación de las maquiladoras, se deben tanto al carácter global y neoliberal que adopta en la década de los años 1990, posterior a la adopción de políticas neoliberales en México, como a la apertura a los capitales financieros.Abstract: This article discusses the issues of rapid industrialization and emerging migration in a rural area in the southern state of Puebla, Mexico, in the region of Tehuacan. The proposal is to cross these variables and understand the ways individuals are undergoing processes of change in the medium term. The analysis focuses on the accelerated migration and its connection to the maquiladora export industry and its crisis, whith the aim of proposing a discussion of the arguments about development and emergence of new communities of origin in international migration. It is the reflection on the conditions that involves the phenomenon of economic globalization, a specific industrial and labor model, and women experiencing these conditions in their environment, which was transformed into a period of 20 years. The main idea in the text is to understand that changes in the dynamics and the outcome from the maquiladoras in the region, were the product of neoliberal and global phenomenon in the 90’s, after the adoption of neoliberal policies in Mexico and openness to financial capital and the arrival of transnational firms in these industries, which influences the migration to the US labor, mainly male.Résumé : Dans ce travail, nous analysons les thèmes de la rapide industrialisation et de la migration émergente dans une zone rurale du sud de l’état de Puebla, Mexique, dans la région de Tehuacán. La proposition consiste à croiser ces variables et comprendre la façon dont les individus expérimentent les processus de changement à moyen terme. Le coeur de l’analyse est la migration accélérée et ses liens avec l’industrie maquiladora d’exportation et ses crises, dans le but de proposer une discussion sur le développement et l’émergence de nouvelles communautés d’origine dans la migration internationale. Il s’agit d’une réflexion sur les relations entre d’une part, les conditions mises en place par la globalisation économique et un nouveau modèle industriel et de travail et, d’autre part, l’expérience de femmes vivant ces deux facteurs conditionnant leur milieu qui s’est transformé au cours des 20 dernières années. L’idée principale du texte est de comprendre que les changements dans la dynamique de la région et les résultats postérieurs à l’installation des maquiladoras découlent autant des politiques néolibérales et globales adoptées par le Mexique dans les années 1990 qu’à l’ouverture au capital financier.

Cross Fertilization

A relatively young body with roots in an older institution, the UN Human Rights Council has enjoyed some success and continued to serve important positive goals, many of them not easily realized. However, the system has always had significant internal and external limitations and continues to be beset by many problems – some more serious than others, and others more imagined than real. In our own time, the rise of right-wing populist regimes around the world, the continuities and discontinuities of the challenge that this sort of populism has posed to multilateralism in global governance, the economic crises that recently beset many parts of the world leading to serious resource constraints among many of the States that contribute the most to the UN’s budget, and the on-and-off withdrawals of the US (one of the most powerful States in the world) from the Council amidst charges of selectivity, appear to have combined to produce heightened crisis within and about that body. What to do? Informed by the cross-fertilization of the author’s academic thought and practical experience at the UN, the article offers an analysis of the Council’s attainments (including its embrace of a broader and more inclusive agenda, upr reduction of selectivity, the reform of its system of appointing special procedure mandate holders, increase in the number of standing invitations issued by States to such mandate holders, and establishment of an effective sids/ldcs fund); discusses the problems that presently confront the Council (many of which have already been referred to above); and works out in some detail some of the ways in which these difficulties can be effectively ameliorated so as to enhance the Council’s performance in the near- to medium-term future.

The Cold War

This chapter demonstrates elements of change and continuity in Asia’s regional architecture between the waning years of the Cold War and the Asian financial crisis. Despite the external shock of the Cold War, I argue that the path to change is best captured by endogenous processes of change where mechanisms of change and continuity intersect. The first part of the chapter chronicles the development of two multilateral institutions: the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and the ASEAN Regional Forum. The second part demonstrates the continuity of bilateral alliances, focusing on the US-Japan and US-Philippines alliance.

This paper presents a medium-term outlook for world meat supply and demand. Following a broad outline of likely developments in production and consumption of all meats, the focus engages on the outlook for world beef markets over the five-year period from 1997. The projections presented in this paper are based largely on those published by the OECD. So far as non-OECD countries are concerned, the main sources of information have been the Economic Research Service of the US Department for Agriculture and the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute of the Universities of Iowa State and Missouri, Columbia.

Subject The longevity and outlook for currency pegs. Significance The abandonment of the Swiss franc's three-year-old peg to the euro on January 15 put into question the longevity of pegged exchange rate arrangements. It also highlights how unusual such arrangements are today. Impacts The SNB will still have to continue to intervene in foreign-exchange markets to stabilise the Swiss franc. The SNB move will not cause Danish authorities to stop pegging the Danish krone to the euro. The near- and medium-term longevity of the Hong Kong dollar peg to the US dollar will not be questioned.

European Economies

The North American economies are expected to recover pre-crisis levels of output earlier than most of their European counterparts. The resilience of these economies is partly a reflection of factors underlying the trend rate of capacity growth. Population projections in North America are favourable for medium-term growth prospects, partly due to policies that tend to encourage highly skilled inward migration. At the same time, the US is one of few countries that maintained strong productivity growth during the downturn (at a significant cost in terms of employment), allowing an increase in US productivity levels relative to the other major economies. In addition, the relatively rapid recovery expected in the North American economies reflects more aggressive fiscal policies in the US and Canada than in most European economies, as well as credit easing undertaken by the Federal Reserve, which has kept corporate borrowing costs low relative to levels in the UK and Euro Area. Canada and Mexico have also benefitted from the recovery in the oil price, which eases budgetary pressures in particular.

Abstract In this article, the concept of «black dance» is used as a critical tool to explore the lifelong dance achievements of the black dancer, choreographer and pedagogue Claude Marchant (1919–2004) in relation to history making. Marchant’s history in the US and to some extent in Europe from the 1930s to the 1960s is mapped and analysed, with the aim of better understanding his work in Sweden, and more specifically in Gothenburg. While Marchant is mentioned in previous dance historiographies, there are no in-depth explorations of his life and work. This exploration, therefore, complements both Swedish and international dance research, with an example that problematises history production in relation to black artists such as Marchant. It is argued that a participatory «dance-where-we-dig» method is a useful tool for instigating locally situated historiographical processes of change, and can relate artists such as Marchant to broader, transnational contexts.

Shed Light

While sex ratios at birth (SRB) have been shown to vary within and across populations, after over a century of research, explanations have remained elusive. A variety of ecological, demographic, economic, and social variables have been evaluated, yet their association with SRB has been equivocal. Here, in an attempt to shed light on this unresolved topic within the literature, we approach the question of what drives variation in SRB using detailed longitudinal data spanning the frontier-era to the early 20th century in a population from the US state of Utah. Using several measures of environmental harshness, we find that fewer boys are born during challenging times. However, these results hold only for the frontier-era and not into a period of rapid economic and infrastructure development. We argue that the mixed state of the literature may result from the impact and frequency of exogenous stressors being dampened due to industrialization.

Asset Backed Securities

Significance The programme expands existing purchases of asset-backed securities and covered bonds with large-scale buying of bonds issued by euro-area governments, agencies and European institutions. Purchases will amount to a combined total of 60 billion euros (69 billion dollars) per month, starting in March. They will continue until at least September 2016 -- or until there is progress towards the central bank's medium-term inflation goal. Impacts The larger than expected size of the programme will be achievable thanks to partial risk sharing among national central banks. Wealth effects will be smaller than in the United States and United Kingdom, as euro-area capital markets are less deep. The QE programme will amount to 12% of euro-area GDP, while the US programme was larger, at 25% of GDP.

Economic Outlook

Last year the global economy expanded at its fastest pace since 2011. We expect global growth to continue at a similar rate in 2018 and 2019.We expect the pace of global economic expansion to slow to around 3.5 per cent a year in the medium term unless productivity growth picks up substantially.Although some advanced economies appear to be operating at close to full capacity and oil prices have increased, our expectation is that any rise in inflation will be muted. Central banks will only raise policy interest rates gradually.Recent announcements on tariff increases by the US and retaliations to these have added to the uncertainty about the global economic outlook. Ongoing trade talks create the potential for a rapidly changing situation which could create surprises to the global forecast outlook.
