De Panamá a San Andrés: mutaciones de la política exterior colombiana (Coyuntura)

Colombian foreign policy has gone through important transformations in its formulation and implementation. Through a Neoclassical Realist (NCR) analysis, this article discusses the domestic and systemic factors that have influenced the Foreign Policy Executive (FPE) in Colombia. It makes a historical journey through different presidential terms, ranging from the loss of Panama in 1903, to the adverse decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2012, which stripped Bogotá of a significant portion of its Caribbean Sea. This analysis reveals problems in the formulation of Colombian foreign policy due to a weak foreign service, a complex relationship with the United States and the country’s internal conflict; it is argued that if these factors were to be reduced or disappear, a new form of foreign policy in the country would be facilitated in the twenty-first century.

Genetic variation in a chilean endangered endemic: Gomortega keule (Molina) Baillon

Gomortega keule (Molina) Baillon is an endangered, rare species, the only representative of its genus, and endemic to Central Chile. Populations of this tree are now fragmented and few individuals can be found in any of them. Genetic diversity was studied in 33 individuals from three populations in Cauquenes, a coastal mountain area (35°58'S-72°41'W). Fifteen InterSimple Sequence Repeat primers were used to determine the degree of similarity between and within populations. This revealed that 30% of the variation exhibited was between populations while 70% was within; nevertheless individuals were clearly clustered in a pattern which reflected a narrow base of diversity. Three other species from the Laurales order were used in order to provide an external reference as to the degree of diversity. In addition, an external wild population from the native species, Peumus boldus, was used to verify the utility of the markers. We show that the primers are effective in quickly giving an estimate of the degree of diversity of a population, thus giving important topical information relevant to preserving endangered species. Aspects of the conservation and management policy for the species in order to maintain the remaining populations and to preserve the genetic resources are discussed.

Baccharis subgen. Molina (Asteraceae) no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Baccharis compreende ca. 340 espécies distribuídas nas Américas. O indumento em tufos diminutos, formado por tricomas com uma única célula basal, e as flores funcionalmente unissexuais são caracteres diagnósticos do gênero. No estado do Rio de Janeiro ocorrem 55 espécies de Baccharis. O trabalho apresenta os resultados de estudos taxonômicos de Baccharis subgen. Molina (Pers.) Heering para a flora fluminense. No estado, o subgênero está representado por 18 espécies pertencentes a quatro seções - Caulopterae (8 spp.), Molinae (4 spp.), Baccharidastrum (3 spp.) e Trinervatae (3 spp.). É apresentada uma chave para a identificação das seções e espécies e descrições morfológicas, ilustrações, dados de distribuição geográfica e ecologia. Três espécies são novos registros e cinco são excluídas da lista de espécies do Rio de Janeiro.
