  • Are We Still the Brothers of the Trees? Perceptions and Reality Of
    Introduction Since their brief but powerful revolution against a repressive government in 1925, and the creation of PEMASKY, the first protected Are we still the brothers of the trees? land area in the world to be officially formed by an indigenous group, the Guna of Panama have gained international fame in the anthropological world for their strong will and vibrant tradition. Following the revolution, the Guna people were eventually granted a Perceptions and Reality of Environmental Conservation in the Comarca, or ‘autonomous’ territory. Guna people living in the Comarca mostly govern themselves with little intervention from the Panamanian state. The Comarca itself consists of 365 islands and about 7513 sq. kilometers of coastal land including part of a Guna Indigenous Group mountain range, virgin rainforest, and some of the most pristine coral reefs in the Caribbean. Considered the “brothers of the trees” by their own religious teaching, the Guna have always expressed an intimate relationship with and understanding of the mother earth, or “Nana,” a caring, but punishing figure who created all that we presently experience as natural, including the Guna people. Additionally, Guna tradition gives importance to a figure of spiritual protection known as a “Galu” which often guards important natural features. However, like in most once-isolated parts of the world, the group has experienced the effects of the outside world more heavily in recent years than before, especially since the construction of a road into the Comarca in 1970 . Tourists now visit the region in greater numbers and packaged products are regularly imported into the Comarca, which lacks the infrastructure to manage inorganic waste.

  • 1 “Too Small to Survive”. the Institutional Problems of Worker's Mutualism in Barcelona and the Policies of the Federation
    “Too Small to Survive”. The Institutional Problems of Worker’s Mutualism in Barcelona and The Policies of the Federation of Friendly Societies of Catalonia, 1896-1936 Fernando Largo Jiménez PhD student in Economic History. Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona IASC conference Practicing the Commons: Self-Governance, Cooperation and Institutional Change (10-14 July 2017, Utrecht) Panel session Collective Action Problems in Mutual Insurance Associations Abstract Friendly Societies were key actors in provision of social welfare in Europe between the first third of the XIXth century and the rise of welfare states. These societies were based on mutual aid and governed by rules which were largely inspired by the relief-focused brotherhoods of the Old Regime, adapted to the needs of the new industrial society. In Spain, traditional friendly societies reached their peak during the 1920s after which they began to decline. Previous works chiefly attribute this decline to factors such as the small size of many of these mutual-help networks; their ignorance of actuarial techniques; the inflation in medical costs; the membership aging; the competition of sick insurance companies and other forms of sociability and the growing role of the State in social welfare (Pons & Vilar 2011). This working-paper focus on the democratic friendly societies, self-managed and horizontals. Although these societies initially meet the conditions for sustainability proposed by Agrawal (2008), they did not manage to meet their insurance functions. As the XXth century advanced, exogenous factors forced transformations whereby social capital became a secondary concern. The societies that chose not to adapt, or did not know how, were replaced by a new type of mutualism, more technical and growth-oriented, as demonstrated by both the increase in the average size of mutual societies and the waning amounts of money spent on subsidies and social activities.

  • Location Determinants of Business Services Within A
    Regional and Sectoral Economic Studies Vol. 10-1 (2010) LOCATION DETERMINANTS OF BUSINESS SERVICES WITHIN A REGION WITH LARGE URBAN ASYMMETRIES RUBIERA, Fernando* PARDOS, Eva GÓMEZ-LOSCOS, Ana Abstract We carry out an analysis of the determinants of location for business services within a region, as opposed to the more usual comparisons among nations or regions. The expected higher concentration patterns at this level can be further biased when one or more urban centers have a disproportionate weight in regional economic activity. We propose an econometric analysis of location determinants (scale, urbanization and agglomeration economies, human capital and infrastructures) taking into account the influence of this kind of asymmetry. To this end, we identify one region with this characteristic (a disproportionate weight of the capital city’s share with respect to the total, as shown via several location coefficients), namely the Spanish region of Aragon. Using intra-regional data, our results show that including the capital city in the regressions or not alters the conclusions on the determinants of location. Keywords: Business services, spatial economics and services location. JEL: L84, R12 and R11. 1. Introduction Business services are non-financial services that contribute as intermediate inputs to improving business competitiveness through interactive co-productions. They include not only traditional activities such as rentals, accounting, security or cleaning services, but also advanced activities such as computing, engineering, R&D or advanced consultancy services. These are branches that are defined as strategic for the rest of the economic activity sectors in a country or region. Their important contribution to the economic growth of a region may be summed up as follows.

Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona ISSN: 1695-9752 E-ISSN: 1695-9752 Received: 17.06.2007 Accepted: 24.08.2007 DOI: 10.11156/aibr.020306e Translation: Ignacio González. La versión original en español de este artículo está disponible en la página web de la revista 490 INMIGRATION, HEALTH AND DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT SUMMARY: This article presents an ongoing research project on immigration, health, and socio-cultural diversity, and offers preliminary information on the theoretical and socio-demographic context of this investigation. The objective of the project, funded by the Department of Health of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, Spain, is to analyse the socioecono- mic and cultural factors involved in health and the access to the formal health system of a few major migrant communities and ethnic minorities living in high-priority neighbou- rhoods in Catalonia. The results of this project, which will come fundamentally from ethnographic research, aim to give suggestions for improving health conditions for the population and to provide to those professionals working in the public health care system with some conceptual and practical tools for improving intercultural communication between themselves and their patients, as well as for detecting, preventing, and resolving problems in everyday practice. KEY WORDS: Immigration, Health, Socio-cultural diversity, Applied anthropology, Ethnography ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We appreciate the cooperation of Miriam Torrens, Irina Casado, Hugo Valenzuela, Óscar López, Virginia Fons, Carmen Méndez, Meritxell Saez Sellarés and, in particular, that of Lucía Sanjuán.
