Monthly OTP August 2019 ON-TIME PERFORMANCE AIRPORTS Contents On-Time is percentage of flights that depart or arrive within 15 minutes of schedule. Global OTP rankings are only assigned to all Airlines/Airports where OAG has status coverage for at least 80% of the scheduled flights. Regional Airlines Status coverage will only be based on actual gate times rather than estimated times. This may result in some airlines / airports being excluded from this report.

Military Entrepreneurs: Patterns in Latin America Kristina Mani ABSTRACT Despite the recent shift to democratic regimes and market-based economies, in many Latin American countries the military retains important economic roles as owner, manager, and stakeholder in economic enterprises. Such military entrepreneurship poses a chal- lenge to the development of democratic civil-military relations and, by extension, to the development of liberal democracy in the region. While scholars have noted this situation with concern, they have given little attention to distinguishing the different types of military entrepreneurship, which reflect distinct historical patterns and implications. This article identifies two major types of military entrepreneurs in Latin America: industrializers, determined to build national defense capabilities and compete for international prestige; and nation builders, seeking to promote economic development that can foster social development and cohesion. Case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and Ecuador demonstrate important differ- ences between these two types in their origins, paths, and political consequences.

    Proof Copy Pablo Miguel Jacovkis Introduction Argentina has a long tradition of conflicts between scientific development2 (or educational development) and authoritarian governments.3 Between 1835 and 1852, although he was only Governor of the Buenos Aires Province and responsible for Argentinian Foreign Affairs – that is, a sort of primus inter pares amongst the other thirteen governors – General Juan Manuel de Rosas ruled the country with an iron fist. Among his obscurantist measures we may mention that he stopped paying salaries to the professors at the University of Buenos Aires – the salaries having to be paid exclusively through the tuition of the students, see Buchbinder (2005). The simplified image is reasonably true, that from the establishment of the constitutional republic between 1852 and 1862, education and support for science flourished. We can mention the outstanding work of President Sarmiento (1868–74), who, besides strongly backing 1 The author thanks Amparo Gómez for her kind invitation to participate in the IV Seminar of Politics of Science: Science between Democracy and Dictatorship at the Universidad de La Laguna and to the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for its economic support through the Research Project FFI2009–09483 and the Complementary Action FFI2010–11969–E.

    BOOMTOWN CHALLENGES: THE CASE OF RINCÓN DE LOS SAUCES, NEUQUÉN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Development Management and Policy By Megan E. Cook, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 17, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Megan E. Cook All Rights Reserved ii BOOMTOWN CHALLENGES: THE CASE OF RINCÓN DE LOS SAUCES, NEUQUÉN Megan E. Cook, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Eric Langenbacher, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Natural resource boomtowns are communities that experience rapid demographic growth due to their proximity to natural resource-based projects and that confront a well-established series of challenges that strain local government capacity. The thesis aims to better understand the challenges faced by planners and policymakers in responding to growth in natural resource boomtowns using a case study of Rincón de los Sauces in the Argentine province of Neuquén. The town grew rapidly after a nearby major oil discovery in the late 1960s and is again anticipating a boom as Argentina looks to develop its vast unconventional oil and gas resources. Through a review of a variety of primary and secondary sources, this thesis describes the challenges generated for planning and governance by rapid, natural-resource based growth in Rincón de los Sauces and seeks to explain how policymakers have approached planning and management in this context. It finds that planners and policymakers have drawn on a variety of approaches to plan for growth including seeking to learn from the experiences of other towns, using a variety of sources to make projections, promoting flexibility and adaptability, encouraging community participation, promoting a central role for the local government and seeking outside support when necessary.
