La política de inmigración en el Gobierno de Rafael Correa: avances, límites y retos

En medio de un contexto marcado por la globalización, la población que migra experimenta múltiples formas de negación y exclusión. En muchos países es mirada como extraña, intrusa, como ese nuevo “chivo expiatorio”, como “lo malo” e incluso “lo no deseado”. En el Ecuador concepciones como éstas han sido fortalecidas, por un lado, por el discurso oficial que tiende a mirar el libre ingreso de la población colombiana como una causal de la inseguridad ciudadana y, por otro, por las políticas de inmigración que se han implementado en nuestro país a partir del 2004. La presente investigación analiza la posición del gobierno del Presidente Rafael Correa respecto a los inmigrantes y fundamentalmente frente a los inmigrantes colombianos. Privilegia el análisis documental de las políticas de inmigración; los decretos y los comunicados del gobierno de Correa. Intenta responder a preguntas como: ¿Cuál es el peso que otorga el gobierno de Correa a la emigración, inmigración y refugio? ¿Cuáles han sido los factores que han incidido en la implementación de políticas de inmigración? ¿Si las políticas de inmigración afirman o expresan la concepción de la inmigración como un problema de seguridad, como una amenaza y qué implicancias trae ello para los derechos humanos de la población colombiana? Finalmente, propone algunas recomendaciones para trabajar en la implementación de políticas públicas de inmigración, así como también para abordar el tema de la movilidad humana.

The noblest of professions : schoolmasters at Hastings 1872-1894

The Noblest of Professions: Schoolmasters at Hastings 1872-1894 is a skilfully developed study of educational developments outside the Australian metropolises and in a small, but significant, pioneering rural community in the late colonial period. It is an important contribution to the formerly neglected field of local and regional history in Australia. It extends our knowledge of the life experiences of the schoolmaster in an isolated community and the regard local people had for him, together with the significant and varied social and leadership roles he played regularly and occasionally in rural affairs. The rural schoolmaster and his concerns are vividly brought to life in a compelling portrayal in this book. In all a very significant contribution to Australian history and to the history of education in its regional and local context.

The conservation status of the world’s reptiles

Effective and targeted conservation action requires detailed information about species, their distribution, systematics and ecology as well as the distribution of threat processes which affect them. Knowledge of reptilian diversity remains surprisingly disparate, and innovative means of gaining rapid insight into the status of reptiles are needed in order to highlight urgent conservation cases and inform environmental policy with appropriate biodiversity information in a timely manner. We present the first ever global analysis of extinction risk in reptiles, based on a random representative sample of 1500 species (16% of all currently known species). To our knowledge, our results provide the first analysis of the global conservation status and distribution patterns of reptiles and the threats affecting them, highlighting conservation priorities and knowledge gaps which need to be addressed urgently to ensure the continued survival of the world’s reptiles. Nearly one in five reptilian species are threatened with extinction, with another one in five species classed as Data Deficient. The proportion of threatened reptile species is highest in freshwater environments, tropical regions and on oceanic islands, while data deficiency was highest in tropical areas, such as Central Africa and Southeast Asia, and among fossorial reptiles. Our results emphasise the need for research attention to be focussed on tropical areas which are experiencing the most dramatic rates of habitat loss, on fossorial reptiles for which there is a chronic lack of data, and on certain taxa such as snakes for which extinction risk may currently be underestimated due to lack of population information. Conservation actions specifically need to mitigate the effects of human-induced habitat loss and harvesting, which are the predominant threats to reptiles.
