    No. 1, November 2016 METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244 Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS No. 1, November 2016 RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to set the conceptual architecture for the MENARA Project. It is articulated in five thematic sections. The first one traces back the major historical junctures in which key powers shaped the defining features of the present-day MENA region. Section 2 sets the geographical scope of the project, maps the distribution of power and defines regional order and its main features. Section 3 focuses on the domestic orders in a changing region by gauging and tracing the evolution of four trends, namely the erosion of state capacity; the securitization of regime policies; the militarization of contention; and the pluralization of collective identities. Section 4 links developments in the global order to their impact on the region in terms of power, ideas, norms and identities. The last section focuses on foresight studies and proposes a methodology to project trends and build scenarios. All sections, as well as the conclusion, formulate specific research questions that should help us understand the emerging geopolitical order in the MENA.

Sesión Legislativa Ordinaria CÁMARA DE REPRESENTANTES R. de la C. 1324 20 DE AGOSTO DE 2015 Presentada por el representante Aponte Dalmau Referida a la Comisión de Asuntos Internos RESOLUCIÓN Para ordenar a la Comisión de Transportación, Infraestructura, y de Recreación y Deportes de la Cámara de Representantes del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, realizar una investigación exhaustiva sobre la lamentable situación ocurrida entre la armadora nacional Carla Cortijo y la Federación de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico, la cual segó la participación de Cortijo en la WNBA. EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS Con el sueño desvanecido de fama en el Mundo del Baloncesto Femenino, Carla Cortijo ahora tiene que enfrentar el resultado negativo de unas acciones administrativas por parte de la Federación de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico. Luego de una serie de eventos ocurridos en las pasadas semanas, lamentablemente la armadora nacional tuvo una alegada salida abrupta del equipo de Atlanta Dream en la Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) tras no recibir autorización de la Federación de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico para firmar. Nacida en San Juan pero residente de Carolina desde temprana edad, Cortijo se ha destacado como una de las jugadoras de mayor renombre en el baloncesto femenino local. Desde el 2009 milita con las Gigantes de Carolina, quinteto que ha conquistado cuatro cetros nacionales en los pasados 5 años. Además, fue la armadora titular de la Selección Nacional boricua que se alzó con la medalla de oro por primera vez en los Juegos Panamericanos y del Caribe 2011, venciendo al anfitrión equipo de México.
