Los repetidos desplazamientos en el oriente de la RDC

Para la gran mayoría de los afectados por el conflicto, el desplazamiento suele verse como la única opción para procurar encontrar seguridad. La prestación de alguna asistencia básica en los lugares hacia donde las personas huyen hace que este proceso sea un poco más fácil. Pero en ausencia de protección ofrecida por el Estado, el desplazamiento múltiple se ha convertido en una característica definitoria del conflicto en Kivu. Esto tiene implicaciones tanto para la respuesta humanitaria como de desarrollo.

Il valore del voto: Italia e Spagna nel dibattito sulla rappresentanza politica liberale (1860-1870)

During the 1860's and 1870's, Spain and Italy experienced a convergence of debates on the significance of political representation in the framework of Liberal State. Spain suffered a political and social crisis, ending with the Revolution of 1868 and the adoption of male universal suffrage in 1878. Its coeval Italy began to build its new Kingdom, anxious about state building, as well as the relevance of electoral processes in the Constitutional scheme. Although members of parliament and essayists of both countries well knew their neighbour's political reality, a dialogue on representation didn't occur. Nonetheless, we believe it is useful to analyse the survey drawn by the Italian publicist in the light of current knowledge of the opinions that prevailed in Spain. What sense did they give to the general election? How did they understand the value of the vote? Who were considered eligible voters? These questions comprise the main subjects of the essay.
