This paper proposes to promote autonomy in digital ecosystems so that it provides agents with information to improve the behavior of the digital ecosystem in terms of stability. This work proposes that, in digital ecosystems, autonomous agents can provide fundamental services and information. The final goal is to run the ecosystem, generate novel conditions and let agents exploit them. A set of evaluation measures must be defined as well. We want to provide an outline of some global indicators, such as heterogeneity and diversity, and establish relationships between agent behavior and these global indicators to fully understand interactions between agents, and to understand the dependence and autonomy relations that emerge between the interacting agents. Individual variations, interaction dependencies, and environmental factors are determinants of autonomy that would be considered. The paper concludes with a discussion of situations when autonomy is a milestone

Conferència sobre la dimensió territorial dels nacionalismes, entenent els nacionalismes com unes ideologies sòcio-polítiques que persegueixen uns objectius determinats a través d’unes pràctiques polítiques determinades o com un conjunt d’expressions ideològiques que tracten de fer reconèixer una comunitat com un tot i que, a més, poden traslluir diverses estructures socials. Es tracta, doncs, el tema “dels nacionalismes”, més que no pas “del nacionalisme”

Avui dia parlar de l’Euroregió i de les seves capacitats per optimitzar el nivell de cooperació no és estrany al mon del dret, però no sempre ha estat així. Ha calgut l’experiència positiva de diverses entitats regionals i locals d’arreu d’Europa per començar a reconèixer la importància d’aquest fenomen. Les regions europees havien iniciat diverses actuacions, algunes d'elles als inicis dels seixanta, amb l'objectiu de desenvolupar interessos comuns tractant que les fronteres estatals no suposessin una barrera insuperable. Estructures tal com l'Associació de Regions Frontereres Europees (ARFE), creada el 1969, o les accions dutes a terme per entitats territorials del denominat Arc Alpí (ARGE-ALP, ALPE-ADRIA i COTRAO) van constituir uns dels primers exemples de col·laboració permanent en el continent europeu. Així doncs, si bé a partir dels anys setanta (per posar una data orientativa) s’estengué la col·laboració d’entitats regionals i locals europees no va ser fins a la dècada dels noranta quan aquesta es va consolidar, sobretot pel llançament de les iniciatives comunitàries INTERREG que suposaren un recolzament econòmic a les actuacions empreses des dels seus organismes de cooperació

L’EPM s’inscriu en el context de les estratègies de la cooperació interterritorial impulsades a Catalunya des de l’adhesió d’Espanya a la UE. L’activisme europeu de les institucions catalanes va començar a manifestar-se cap a finals dels anys vuitanta, arran de la posada en marxa del Mercat Únic de 1993, amb un conjunt d’iniciatives tendents a fomentar fórmules innovadores de cooperació transregional - és a dir, desproveïdes de continuïtat territorial – i transfronterera amb altres comunitats regionals i locals. Els Quatre Motors per a Europa i Eurociutats corresponen al primer model, mentre que l’antiga Euroregió Mediterrània formada per Catalunya, Llenguadoc-Rosselló i Migdia-Pirineus, i la Comunitat de Treball dels Pirineus encarnen el segon. La xarxa C-6 i les dues experiències més actuals, l’Arc Llatí i l’Euroregió Pirineus-Mediterrània, combinen elements d’ambdós models.

Having lived through a bloody civil war in the 1930s followed by four decades of General Franco’s dictatorship, the Spanish state carried out a transition to a democratic system at the end of the 1970s. The 1978 Constitution was the legal outcome of this transition process. Among other things, it established a territorial model – the so-called “Estado de las Autonomías” (State of Autonomous Communities) – which was designed to satisfy the historical demands for recognition and self-government of, above all, the citizens and institutions of Catalonia and the Basque Country .In recent years support for independence has increased in Catalonia. Different indicators show that pro-independence demands are endorsed by a majority of its citizens, as well as by most of the political parties and organizations that represent its civil society. This is a new phenomenon. Those in favour of independence had been in the minority throughout the 20th century. Nowadays, however, demands of a pro-autonomy and pro-federalist nature, which until recently had been dominant, have gradually lost public support in favour of demands for self-determination and secession. This paper analyses the massive increase in support for secession in Catalonia during the early years of the 21st century. After describing the different theories of secession in plurinational liberal democracies (section 1), we analyse Catalonia’s political evolution over the past decade focusing on the shortcomings with regard to constitutional recognition and accommodation displayed by the Spanish political system. The latter have been exacerbated by the reform process of Catalonia’s Statute of Autonomy (2006) and the subsequent judgement of Spain’s Constitutional Court regarding the aforementioned Statute (2010) (section 2). Finally, we present our conclusions by linking the Catalan case with theories of secession applied to plurinational contexts

The organisation of inpatient care provision has undergone significant reform in many southern European countries. Overall across Europe, public management is moving towards the introduction of more flexibility and autonomy . In this setting, the promotion of the further decentralisation of health care provision stands out as a key salient policy option in all countries that have hitherto had a traditionally centralised structure. Yet, the success of the underlying incentives that decentralised structures create relies on the institutional design at the organisational level, especially in respect of achieving efficiency and promoting policy innovation without harming the essential principle of equal access for equal need that grounds National Health Systems (NHS). This paper explores some of the specific organisational developments of decentralisation structures drawing from the Spanish experience, and particularly those in the Catalonia. This experience provides some evidence of the extent to which organisation decentralisation structures that expand levels of autonomy and flexibility lead to organisational innovation while promoting activity and efficiency. In addition to this pure managerial decentralisation process, Spain is of particular interest as a result of the specific regional NHS decentralisation that started in the early 1980 s and was completed in 2002 when all seventeen autonomous communities that make up the country had responsibility for health care services.Already there is some evidence to suggest that this process of decentralisation has been accompanied by a degree of policy innovation and informal regional cooperation. Indeed, the Spanish experience is relevant because both institutional changes took place, namely managerial decentralisation leading to higher flexibility and autonomy- alongside an increasing political decentralisation at the regional level. The coincidence of both processes could potentially explain why some organisation and policy innovation resulting from policy experimentation at the regional level might be an additional featureto take into account when examining the benefits of decentralisation.

Se ofrece en el presente trabajo un estudio empírico sobre la garantíade suficiencia y equidad en la distribución territorial de los recursos sanitarios que se derivaría de una posible incorporación de la financiación sanitaria en la financiación autonómica general. Se pretende con ello analizar hasta que extremo el no ajuste por el grado de envejecimiento relativo en la transferencia del gasto sanitario a las CC.AA. compensa el asumir unos menores costes en educación, transferencia financiada igualmente con criterio poblacional puro. Se muestran para el caso español algunos escenarios de participación en una cesta general de impuestos que satisfagan los niveles de financiación requeridos para el conjunto de servicios anteriores, a través de un sencillo ejercicio de programación lineal, adoptando la estrategia del espacio fiscal en la financiación autonómica.

La organización de un evento resulta paradigmática en el proceso de construcción de imágenes territoriales vividas in situ. La fabricación de imágenes territoriales - turísticas o no- con motivo de la organización de un evento para su posterior consolidación en el imaginario colectivo de los asistentes, plantea una curiosa alternativa de promoción turística implícita en la propia estrategia de gestión del evento. En efecto, no cabe duda de que el evento, por sí mismo, representa una importante estrategia de promoción del territorio, pero hay más; también puede devenir a modo de catalizador de imágenes, de creador de imaginarios capaces de fijar una marca de ciudad en su conjunto. El presente artículo dará a conocer las posibilidades que se desprenden de la organización de un evento en relación al posicionamiento identitario y promocional de un territorio.

La competitividad emergente entre destinos turísticos ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de enfatizar las estrategias de comunicación –con el fin de crear un valor añadido intangible para el potencial cliente- encaminadas a crear una imagen favorable de los espacios que se pretenden promocionar, mediante el diseño de acciones de comunicación con objetivos que van más allá del mero interés promocional o informativo. En este sentido, tanto los emplazamientos que conciben el turismo como una solución de diversificación económica (destinos emergentes), como las localizaciones geográficas que ya disponen de una cierta solera en relación a su tradición turística (destinos maduros), aúnan esfuerzos en aras de consolidar una identidad territorial acorde con sus posibilidades turísticas. Si además se tiene en cuenta que, en la actualidad, el consumo de imágenes percibidas a priori representa, de antemano, un primer viaje simbólico previo a un posterior viaje real, se puede llegar a vislumbrar el papel decisivo que desempeña la interpretación del consumidor (creación de imaginarios individuales y colectivos) en un escenario global de comercialización del territorio. Por tanto, el valor añadido en una situación de dura competencia entre destinos, radica en los valores que se asocian a la imagen de marca turística, que representa la primera carga de sensaciones y emociones que percibe el potencial turista y/o visitante antes de decidirse por uno u otro destino.

In the last few decades there has been a wealth of literature and legislation on advance directives. As you all know, it is an instrument by which a person can express their wishes as regards what treatmentthey should be given or, more to the point, not to be given, when he is in a situation when he can not do so himself.Regulations in the western world seem to promote advance directives as a way to enhance patient¿s autonomy in thecontext of human rights, and the media has presented advance directives as another milestone in this era of selfdetermination.However, if we look closely at some of thoseregulations we will see that there are a few elements which may undermine their efficacy, shattering this nicely presentedpicture. I will focus on two elements. First, formal requirements, and secondly, certain limits or what I like to call "escape clauses".
