L'impatto turistico di un grande evento: La Louis Vuitton Cup in Trapani nel 2005
2011
Il grande evento è solitamente considerato come un fattore di crescita economica per un territorio e strumento molto efficace nell’azione di marketing territoriale, talvolta è visto come risoluzione di molti problemi, taluni perfino strutturali. Persiste l’incongruenza di utilizzare i grandi eventi come occasione per realizzare spese (solitamente in infrastrutture) necessarie sì al territorio, ma non richieste propriamente dall’evento; tali spese pertanto andrebbero giustificate all’interno di una più ampia visione concernente la programmazione dello sviluppo locale. Una appropriata rendicontazione degli effetti può avere un ruolo rilevante nel cambiare questo atteggiamento, a cominciare da…

Gender Violence: Social Structure in Latin America, the question of victim and trauma.
2014
In this article, I firstly argue that femicide is a word that indicates the psychological and physical violence against women because they belong to the female gender. I analyze in particular the femicide cases that took place in the border between Ciudad Juarez and Texas from 1993 until now, in addition to the cases on the border between Tijuana and Baja California. During this period more than 700 women were murdered in the border area between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, still the criminals of these brutal homicides are unknown. The reason for the lack of justice can be explained through institutional corruption and the existence of a patriarchal society. Through an interdisciplinary appro…
Large-scale effects of migration and conflict in pre-agricultural groups: Insights from a dynamic model.
2016
The debate on the causes of conflict in human societies has deep roots. In particular, the extent of conflict in hunter-gatherer groups remains unclear. Some authors suggest that large-scale violence only arose with the spreading of agriculture and the building of complex societies. To shed light on this issue, we developed a model based on operatorial techniques simulating population-resource dynamics within a two-dimensional lattice, with humans and natural resources interacting in each cell of the lattice. The model outcomes under different conditions were compared with recently available demographic data for prehistoric South America. Only under conditions that include migration among c…

Neighborhood Social Disorder and Attitudes Toward Partner Violence Against Women: Evidence from Latin-American Immigrants in Spain
2008
This study analyzes the relationship between neighborhood social disorder, and attitudes toward partner vio- lence against women among immigrants. To test hypotheses, a sample of Latin-American immigrants living in Spain was used. Relationships between perceived neighborhood disorder and the following sets of attitudes toward partner violence against women were explored: perceived severity of incidents, the acceptability of partner violence, and victim-blaming attitudes. Residents perceiving high levels of neighborhood social disorder were more exposed to incidents of partner vio- lence against women, as they reported knowing more victims. Results showed that high levels of perceived neighb…
Competencias para la innovación en las universidades de América Latina: un análisis empírico
2010
Los egresados universitarios constituyen, en cualquier país, el grupo social que acumula un mayor volumen de capital humano debido a que su trayectoria educativa ha sido más prolongada y ha requerido una fuerte inversión. La premisa de esta investigación es que el potencial de innovación que aportan estos egresados es un determinante fundamental tanto para el éxito en su trayectoria profesional como para la eficiencia total de los sistemas de producción en los distintos países. Para su realización, se dispuso de una amplia base de datos provenientes de la macro encuesta PROFLEX realizada a unos 10 000 egresados universitarios latinoamericanos a la que se ha aplicado una estimación de funcio…
Aproximaciones Psicosociales a la Corrupción: Una Revisión Teórica
2017
Corruption is widespread in current societies; despite its social relevance, it has been studied mostly from economic perspectives. The article reviews and critically analyzes corruption from different social psychology approaches, both in the Anglophone and Latin American settings. Regarding the former, the article highlights the influence of peer behaviors and social norms, risk perceptions, the role of emotions, behavioral ethics and the relationship of corruption to power Regarding the latter, the Latin American models focus on the influence of supra-individual structures such as ethical values and institutions on the individual’s conduct. It is proposed that research on this topic look…
