State-building y entorno de seguridad en los países de Oriente Medio. Especial referencia al subcomplejo de seguridad regional del Golfo

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es contribuir al debate académico sobre la problemática de seguridad/inseguridad que afecta a los Estados árabes de Oriente Medio, indagando sobre sus causas y reflexionando sobre sus consecuencias desde el enfoque de los estudios de seguridad y, más concretamente, desde la corriente que aborda la cuestión de la seguridad en el Tercer Mundo. Una perspectiva novedosa tanto desde el punto de vista de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en nuestro país sobre la región de Oriente Medio, como de las investigaciones existentes en lengua árabe. El punto de partida de nuestra investigación consiste en cuestionar la capacidad explicativa de las teorías tradicionales y dominantes de seguridad al ser aplicadas al análisis de la seguridad nacional en el contexto particular del Tercer Mundo y, como parte de este, al mundo árabe en general. En nuestra opinión, este enfoque tradicional no permite entender las causas de la inestabilidad permanente que azota el Oriente Medio, al no conseguir captar la naturaleza esencial de dicha problemática. La razón fundamental es que los estudios de seguridad surgieron para explicar y dar respuesta a los problemas de la seguridad occidental. Aplicar indiscriminadamente los postulados de la definición de seguridad dominante a cualquier escenario no sólo limita enormemente el alcance del análisis, sino que distorsiona la realidad objeto de estudio. Esta limitación es aplicable también al explicar el escenario de inestabilidad e inseguridad del Oriente Medio. Con el propósito de abordar el vacío existente dentro de los estudios de seguridad relativos a la problemática de la seguridad en el Tercer Mundo, y de poder llegar a entender lo que no alcanzan a explicar las teorías clásicas sobre seguridad surge la corriente del Realismo Subalterno. Dentro del marco de la teoría realista, el Realismo Subalterno no se ha limitado únicamente a ser una manifestación más de contestación del concepto de seguridad tradicional, sino que se presenta como un instrumento analítico alternativo a los paradigmas y teorías dominantes sobre seguridad –tanto de la concepción realista tradicional como de los nuevos intentos de revisión del concepto-. Una perspectiva útil para explicar problemas contemporáneos de seguridad frente a la insuficiente capacidad de las teorías de seguridad clásicas, especialmente frente a los nuevos desafíos surgidos tras el final de la Guerra Fría...

Australia, Korea and the Korean Question in the United Nations, 1946-1991

One previously unrecognised feature of the history of the political relationship between Australia and Korea is the role played by Australia as a member of the United Nations Organization in respect to the so-called Korea Question. Drawing on source documents from UN Resolutions and Australian Archives this article examines the changing positions of Australia as the Korea Question developed in the UN General Assembly. This spanned a period from the beginnings of the UN Organization until the time when both Koreas were admitted as members in 1991. The article proposes the Australian positions as responses to changing domestic and international political contexts.

'The war of Canudos: a Euclidean interpretation.' [Guerra de Canudos: uma leitura euclidiana]

The publication of the book The interior, in 1902, would change the course of thinking about the War of Canudos, who for many years, had been known simply as' the history of Euclid. President Getulio Vargas became interested in the backwoods bloodbath after reading the book avenger-Euclidean. Liked the work he visited the place of occurrence of war promising enjoy the river poured-Barris with the construction of the weir Cocorobo. Euclides da Cunha lived and produced his work in a time of great change in thought, politics and technology. Despite having worked in the press throughout his life, was best known as an engineer, for having exercised the office during the reconstruction of the bridge, in Sao Jose do Rio Pardo. This article aims to illuminate the event of war in light of the Euclidean work. We will examine the trajectory of Euclides da Cunha in journalism. Your learning process to execute the office newsreader and war correspondent, the newspaper O Estado de S. Paul, as well as their reports and work-monument the hinterlands. Resumo: A publicação da obra Os sertões, em 1902, mudaria os rumos do pensamento sobre a Guerra de Canudos, que, por muitos anos, ficara conhecida, simplesmente, como ‘história de Euclides’. O presidente Getúlio Vargas interessou-se pela hecatombe sertaneja após ter lido o livro-vingador euclidiano. Gostou tanto da obra que visitou o lugar de acontecimento da guerra prometendo aproveitar as águas do rio Vaza-Barris com a construção do açude de Cocorobó. Euclides da Cunha viveu e produziu a sua obra em um momento de grandes transformações no pensamento, na política e na tecnologia. Apesar de ter atuado na imprensa ao longo de toda a sua vida, ficou mais conhecido como engenheiro, por ter exercido o ofício, durante a reconstrução da ponte, em São José do Rio Pardo. O presente artigo visa iluminar o acontecimento da guerra à luz da obra euclidiana. Examinaremos a trajetória de Euclides da Cunha no jornalismo. O seu processo de aprendizagem para exercer o ofício de noticiarista e correspondente de guerra, pelo jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, bem como, as suas reportagens e obra-monumento Os sertões.

Decomposition of toxic chemical substance management in three U.S. manufacturing sectors from 1991 to 2008

This study analyzes toxic chemical substance management in three U.S. manufacturing sectors from 1991 to 2008. Decomposition analysis applying the logarithmic mean Divisia index is used to analyze changes in toxic chemical substance emissions by the following five factors: cleaner production, end-of-pipe treatment, transfer for further management, mixing of intermediate materials, and production scale. Based on our results, the chemical manufacturing sector reduced toxic chemical substance emissions mainly via end-of-pipe treatment. In the meantime, transfer for further management contributed to the reduction of toxic chemical substance emissions in the metal fabrication industry. This occurred because the environmental business market expanded in the 1990s, and the infrastructure for the recycling of metal and other wastes became more efficient. Cleaner production is the main contributor to toxic chemical reduction in the electrical product industry. This implies that the electrical product industry is successful in developing a more environmentally friendly product design and production process.

Did Brisbane grow smartly? Drivers of city growth 1991-2001 and lessons for current policies

Urban areas are growing unsustainably around the world; however, the growth patterns and their associated drivers vary between contexts. As a result, research has highlighted the need to adopt case study based approaches to stimulate the development of new theoretic understandings. Using land-cover data sets derived from Landsat images (30 m × 30 m), this research identifies both patterns and drivers of urban growth in a period (1991-2001) when a number of policy acts were enacted aimed at fostering smart growth in Brisbane, Australia. A linear multiple regression model was estimated using the proportion of lands that were converted from non-built-up (1991) to built-up usage (2001) within a suburb as a dependent variable to identify significant drivers of land-cover changes. In addition, the hot spot analysis was conducted to identify spatial biases of land-cover changes, if any. Results show that the built-up areas increased by 1.34% every year. About 19.56% of the non-built-up lands in 1991 were converted into built-up lands in 2001. This conversion pattern was significantly biased in the northernmost and southernmost suburbs in the city. This is due to the fact that, as evident from the regression analysis, these suburbs experienced a higher rate of population growth, and had the availability of habitable green field sites in relatively flat lands. The above findings suggest that the policy interventions undertaken between the periods were not as effective in promoting sustainable changes in the environment as they were aimed for.
