Social capital a dense network of associations facilitating cooperation within a community typically leads to positive political and economic outcomes, as demonstrated by a large literature following Putnam. A growing literature emphasizes the potentially "dark side" of social capital. This paper examines the role of social capital in the downfall of democracy in interwar Germany by analyzing Nazi party entry rates in a cross-section of towns and cities. Before the Nazi Party's triumphs at the ballot box, it built an extensive organizational structure, becoming a mass movement with nearly a million members by early 1933. We show that dense networks of civic associations such as bowling clubs, animal breeder associations, or choirs facilitated the rise of the Nazi Party. The effects are large: Towns with one standard deviation higher association density saw at least one-third faster growth in the strength of the Nazi Party. IV results based on 19th century measures of social capital reinforce our conclusions. In addition, all types of associations veteran associations and non-military clubs, "bridging" and "bonding" associations positively predict NS party entry. These results suggest that social capital in Weimar Germany aided the rise of the Nazi movement that ultimately destroyed Germany's first democracy.

Les protestes socials esdevingudes en nombrosos pasos durant els ltims tres anys des de Tunsia i lanomenada Primavera rab fins a les recents mobilitzacions a Turquia o Brasil han fet aflorar un debat sobre la possible dimensi global i transestatal de totes elles. El present article pretn realitzar una aproximaci descriptiva i analtica a aquest intens cicle de protestes, reflexionant sobre les diferncies i similituds existents entre elles, el paper que Internet i les xarxes socials han tingut en el curs de les diferents mobilitzacions o, entre altres aspectes, el repertori daccions que han emprat.

L'any 385, Priscilli i la resta del grup priscillianista era condemnat a la ciutat de Trveris i, fruit de la ingerncia determinant de l'usurpador Magne Mxim, es convertia en el primer heretge ajusticiat pel poder secular en nom de l'Esglsia. Els fets de Trveris, per b que van significar el final de la disputa entre dos grups amb posicions antagniques vers les caracterstiques del nou cristianisme institucionalitzat, no van aconseguir acabar amb el priscillianisme. El moviment perdur, especialment a la provncia de la Gallaecia, i Priscilli va esdevenir venerat com mrtir. L'Esglsia, mentrestant, es fracturava per culpa de la competncia jurisdiccional entre la instituci clerical i el poder imperial. Aquest treball intenta ser un estat de la qesti respecte a la dimensi social d'un moviment que, ms enll de l'eterna discussi entre la seva possible catalogaci com a ortodxia o heterodxia, intenta contextualitzar el priscillianisme en el seu marc histric i els convulsos anys de les transformacions de l'antiguitat tardana.

The scholarship on migration in Europe heavily focuses on the integration of economically vulnerable migrants. In the age of commercialization of education, however, the European Union attracts a rising number of highly skilled non-EU migrants that take up studies across the continent. Despite economic downturn, the EU universities experience a rapid growth in the number of Chinese students, many of whom settle in Europe upon graduation. Surprisingly, although the number of Chinese students in the EU increases, scholars largely ignore the labor paths that these highly skilled migrants take upon graduating from European universities. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the variation in the Chinese graduates labor incorporation patterns and in their spatial mobility. In this project, I also examine macro-level hypotheses predicting that the EU and host states labor market institutions, changes in the EU policies on the highly skilled and the outburst of economic crisis matter for the Chinese highly skilled social and spatial mobility. Seizing on surveys, interviews and on the bodies of literature on stratification and social mobility, economic incorporation, social capital and human capital, I look at the Chinese students that graduated from universities in Great Britain and Spain. These states differ in the university tuition fees, migration policies towards the highly skilled workers and in the period of the Chinese students influx, thus providing an economically and socially diverse sample. My research will contribute to the literature on the relations between migrants social mobility, class and status background and spatial mobility, at the same time adding a transnational level perspective to the study of highly skilled Asian migration.

El establecimiento de relaciones entre pases en un entorno global parece requerir nuevas estrategias que trascienden la tradicional diplomacia de Estado. La diplomacia pblica deviene una renovada estrategia de proyeccin internacional, donde la marca de pas ejerce un importante papel a modo de dispositivo aglutinador y de transmisin de identidades nacionales. De este modo, el nuevo poder blando de la representacin geogrfica parece transcurrir en el seno del debilitamiento del Estado-nacin y en claro beneficio de una nueva forma de comunicar la identidad de un pas ms prxima a la intervencin de diferentes agentes sociales que a la firma de tratados internacionales de competencia gubernamental. A partir de una revisin de la literatura existente, este artculo presenta un estado del arte relacionado con las nuevas estrategias de representatividad internacional llevadas a cabo por pases y naciones.
