La Violencia Urbana Y Sus Nuevos Escenarios, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Violencia Urbana Y Sus Nuevos Escenarios, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El predominio de la población urbana, el incremento del número de ciudades y la generalización de la urbanización en el territorio latinoamericano, llevan a concluir que la región se ha convertido en un continente de ciudades. Esta realidad trae nuevos problemas, entre los cuales se debe mencionar el incremento significativo de la violencia delincuencial urbana.
La crisis económica y las políticas implantadas, generalizan la inseguridad social y económica, y contribuyen a reducir los mecanismos de representación, a limitar los espacios de solución de los conflictos, a mercantilizar las relaciones sociales y a restringir las manifestaciones culturales, propias de la condición …

Los Quitos Del Siglo Xxi, Fernando Carrión Mena

Hay que entender que la cultura es la suma de los imaginarios culturales que se han ido formando en la capital. Y en esa perspectiva, los símbolos identitarios de Guito son cada vez más locales y menos generales. En estos momentos no hay un símbolo ni un personaje que logre identificar al quiteño como lo hacían antes el chulla Romero y Flores o la Torera, personajes que décadas atrás estaban vinculados a la clase media y al aparato estatal.
Hoy la representación de los personajes proviene más del barrio que de la ciudad. De ahí que el único símbolo que …

Looking At Participatory Planning In Cuba… Through An Art Deco Window, Marie Kennedy, Lorna Rivera, Chris Tilly
Looking At Participatory Planning In Cuba… Through An Art Deco Window, Marie Kennedy, Lorna Rivera, Chris Tilly
Lorna Rivera
Last January we sat with about thirty Cubans in a community arts center in Boyeros, on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba. The group included artists, teachers, social workers, government officials, architects, engineers and health professionals, all working in Boyeros. We were leading a three-day participatory planning workshop to help this group identify ways that the 1930s Art Deco arts center, currently under renovation, could be used to spark broader community development.
As the first day drew to a close, we felt good about the day’s work. We had turned the Cubans loose in a small group exercise that used art …

State Laws And The Independent Judiciary: An Analysis Of The Effects Of The Seventeenth Amendment On The Number Of Supreme Court Cases Holding State Laws Unconstitutional, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
In recent years, the Seventeenth Amendment has been the subject of legal scholarship, congressional hearings and debate, Supreme Court opinions, popular press articles and commentary, state legislative efforts aimed at repeal, and activist repeal movements. To date, the literature on the effects of the Seventeenth Amendment has focused almost exclusively on the effects on the political production of legislation and competition between legislative bodies. Very little attention has been given to the potential adverse effects of the Seventeenth Amendment on the relationship between state legislatures and the federal courts. This Article seeks to fill part of that literature gap, applying …
