La Lucha contra la Deforestación a Través de las Cadenas de Suministro Globales
Una propuesta de Reglamento europeo de 2021 prohíbe el comercio de materias primas y productos relacionados con la deforestación en el mercado de la Unión Europa 1 . El Reglamento europeo dirige esta prohibición hacia su propio mercado, pero inevitablemente esto tiene consecuencias para los países productores de materias primas en América Latina. La propuesta de Reglamento impactará el intercambio con la Unión Europa, un socio comercial clave par…
The Promise of Cooperation in Latin America
An EU Regulation proposed in 2021 prohibits the trading of deforestation-linked commodities and products on the EU market. 1 The Regulation aims this ban at its own market, but it has unavoidable consequences for commodity producing Latin American countries. The proposed Regulation will affect trade with the European Union, a key trade partner for Latin American countries. If this type of regulation is increasingly adopted by other industrialized…
Movimento Conservador Norte Americano e o 11 de Setembro
O artigo discute de que maneira os ataques de 11 de setembro representam um importante ponto de inflexão na história do movimento conservador norte-americano. A direita americana, que encontrara nos anos 1960 e 1970 pontos de convergência entre suas diferentes correntes, passa a se fragmentar com o fortalecimento dos neoconservadores nos anos 1980. O artigo procura analisar como esse processo, que se ensaiava antes do fim da Guerra Fria, foi acel…

Governance na saúde
A massificação dos conceitos em geral torna-os, muitas vezes, difíceis de precisar. O conceito de governance tornou-se transversal a várias áreas, sendo orientado de acordo com a área em que é aplicado. Autores referem que a governance surge como um "chapéu" sob o qual se encaixam muitos temas, motivo pelo qual surgiram diversos conceitos, com influência das áreas em que eram aplicados. Embora pesem as diversas traduções para a língua portuguesa …
Spain’s Feminist Strike
What led millions to participate in Spain’s nationwide women’s strike—a stoppage of care work as well as wage labour? Assessment of the forces at play—movement organizing, the media, unions, parties—and the potential of 8M to tilt the political balance of forces
‘If everyone says so …’ Press narratives and image change in major event host cities
This paper looks into the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) programme as a leading example of culture-led regeneration intervention aimed at renewing or diversifying the economic base and positioning of host cities. One of the key claims associated with the programme is that it can transform the ‘image’ of a city. These image transformation claims are often supported by evidence of heightened or more positive media coverage in the short term. Ho…
New citizenship in Spain
The crisis in Spain has generated new forms of solidarity that have become new ways of being and living the city. Streets and houses have been taken by the population in protests and direct actions. Lack of alternatives and the government’s ‘do-nothing’ policy have pushed people to perform the ‘right to the city’ on their own and in collective ways. The 15M movement, with its assemblies in every public square and park, the ‘mareas’ (waves), which…
Determinante da saúde no Brasil
A questão da qualidade de vida associa-se quase de forma imediata à saúde. Para além dos fatores médicos, existem outros que afetam ou influenciam de forma determinante a saúde dos indivíduos. Esta influência é de tal forma, que se estima atualmente ser superior quando comparada com fatores que estão ao alcance da medicina. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar, por meio da bibliometria, quais são os determinantes da saúde de maior im…

The Olympic Games and Cultural Policy
This book explores how cultural policies are reflected in the design, management and promotion of the Olympic Games. Garcia examines the concept and evolution of cultural policies throughout the recent history of the Olympic Games and then specifically evaluates the cultural program of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. She argues that the cultural relevance of a major event is highly dependent on the consistency of the policy choices informing its c…
One hundred years of cultural programming within the Olympic Games (1912–2012)
The Olympic Games is recognised worldwide as the largest sports mega‐event – certainly, the event attracting the largest amount of media coverage globally. As well as a sports event, the Olympics are a cultural phenomenon, with a history spanning more than 100 years and supported by a global network of organisations with an educational and intercultural remit that defines itself as a Movement and aspires to promote Olympism as a ‘philosophy of li…
Approaches to the newspaper archive
Glasgow’s year as European City of Culture in 1990 is perceived as an event marking a renaissance in perceptions of the city. This article examines how the contemporary press coverage can be used as a resource to trace the narratives and mythologies surrounding the event. To facilitate this research, a pre-existing archive of press cuttings, totalling over 5000 clippings, was employed. This article describes how the interests of the project, and …
What Is Cultural Policy Research
Cultural policy research exists in many contexts, asks many different kinds of questions and adopts a wide repertoire of research methodologies from a raft of academic discourses. This article investigates the research questions and approaches being undertaken by those working in this field. In order to achieve this, the article draws upon readings of contemporary publications in the field and on the authors’ experiences of building a research ca…
Deconstructing the City of Culture
This paper evaluates the success of the European Union City/Capital of Culture programme as a model for culture-led regeneration by assessing the long-term cultural impacts of Glasgow's experience in 1990. These cultural impacts, seen as distinct from economic, physical and even social impacts, are measured using soft indicators such as media and personal discourses. Assessment of cultural impacts is seldom undertaken and often dismissed as purel…
Cultural Policy and Urban Regeneration in Western European Cities
This paper reviews the uses of cultural policy and planning as tools of urban regeneration in western European cities. Following a brief assessment of the evolution of European cultural policy in recent decades, the paper studies the origins and development of the European City/Capital of Culture programme and explores the experience of cities considered to have succeeded in re-imaging and regenerating themselves through cultural activity and spe…
Urban Regeneration, Arts Programming and Major Events
The potential of arts activity as a tool for urban regeneration has been widely discussed since the early 1980s. In parallel, notions of “cultural/urban tourism” and “arts/city marketing” have gained great popularity among marketers, city planners and cultural policy‐makers alike. Major events are seen as effective catalysts for city regeneration processes as they are able to merge tourism strategies with urban planning and can boost the confiden…
