Book Description
"En la actualidad las fronteras constituyen unos de los principales contextos donde se materializan todo tipo de problemáticas de la región. Por su dinámica, la frontera obliga a tener una mirada muy amplia al ser un espacio con variedad de actores individuales, sociales, económicos, políticos e institucionales. El presente libro es el esfuerzo conjunto de la Red Latinoamericana de Estudios Fronterizos (RELATEF), la Red de Movilidad Humana colombo-venezolana y la Universidad de Santander de Cúcuta, quienes hemos venido trabajando intensamente desde hace varios años, a través de seminarios, conferencias y congresos en el estudio de los problemas de la frontera en la región latinoamericana. Los trabajos que se incluyen en esta obra son algunas de las muchas investigaciones que se han presentado y discutido, con lo cual se demuestra la riqueza del trabajo realizado como redes respecto de la movilidad humana, las políticas y el desarrollo en las fronteras."--Back cover.

Forced Migration across Mexico
Author: Ximena Alba Villalever
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003860680
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This book analyzes the different ways in which forced migration comes together with organized violence in the Americas, focusing specifically on the migration corridor from Central America, through Mexico and on to the United States. No matter their starting point, most South and Central American migrants to the United States must eventually traverse Mexico, and often many other borders beforehand, to reach their destination. As border controls tighten, for many migrants turning back is not a possibility, or something they desire. And so, when faced with hardening policies, migrants are often forced into situations of increased violence and precarity, without a shift in their ultimate objective. This book analyzes the complex social situations of everyday violence, and increasingly aggressive border controls, which face migrants in Mexico, as well as their exposure to a different kind of violence during their migration trajectory through the criminal actors such as gangs, cartels, and corrupt law enforcements that seek to make a profit from them. The book takes a critical approach on migration policies and on the externalization of borders by analyzing their effects on the trajectories and experiences of migrants themselves. It shows that the more migrants’ opportunities and rights during transit are hindered, the more they are at risk of exposure to these actors. Foregrounding the voices of migrants, this book offers fresh insights into debates surrounding migration, politics, international relations, and anthropology in the Americas.

The Demographic Dividend
Author: David Bloom
Publisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833033735
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

Boundaries
Author: Peter Sahlins
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520911210
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
This book is an account of two dimension of state and nation building in France and Spain since the seventeenth century--the invention of a national boundary line and the making of Frenchmen and Spaniards. It is also a history of Catalan rural society in the Cerdanya, a valley in the eastern Pyrenees divided between Spain and France in 1659. This study shuttles between two levels, between the center and the periphery. It connects the "macroscopic" political and diplomatic history of France and Spain, from the Old Regime monarchies to the national territorial states of the later nineteenth century; and the "molecular" history--the historical ethnography--of Catalan village communities, rural nobles, and peasants in the borderland. On the frontier, these two histories come together, and they can be told as one. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1990.
