Spatial Structures of the Philippines: Urbanization and Regional Inequalities

2017

This chapter examines the fundamental spatial structures of the Philippines. It defines the role and organization of the different levels of the administrative hierarchy (provinces, regions, cities and municipalities) down to the barangay and sitio/purok levels. This leads to the definition of the “urban” in the Philippines and the rise of urbanization in recent decades, from the original urban settlements of the Spanish era, with their patterns following the same rules as in Latin America (fort, church and plaza), to today’s cities. Forms of housing have evolved over time, from the archetypal bamboo/nipa hut (bahay kubo) and the urban stone and wood house of the elites (bahay na bato), now…

El acceso de los hijos de inmigrantes a la Educación Superior en España ¿una cuestión de origen étnico o de origen social?

2021

El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de los estudios sobre la Dimensión Social de la Educación Superior (DOES). En él se estudia el peso que la posición socioeconómica tiene en el acceso a la Educación Superior de las segundas generaciones en España. Para ello analizamos la probabilidad de que los estudiantes con antecedentes migratorios y diferentes orígenes socioeconómicos realizaran estudios terciarios durante la segunda década del siglo XXI en contraste con la población autóctona de nuevo ingreso. En nuestros resultados encontramos diferencias significativas en el acceso a la universidad entre los jóvenes con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 21 años, pertenecientes a las segundas gen…

De Habsburgos a Borbones. Legistas y canonistas en la Real Universidad de México

2020

A lo largo de todo el periodo colonial, la Universidad de México fue mayoritariamente canonista en cuanto a las preferencias de sus estudiantes juristas. Sin embargo, hemos podido comprobar que para el tránsito de los siglos XVII a XVIII se aprecia alguna diferencia o particularidad, en cuanto que, respecto a algunos parámetros, las referencias sobre Leyes llegan a superar a las de Cánones. La cronología de esta singularidad resulta coincidente con los cambios en la política de nombramiento de las autoridades novohispanas, especialmente para la Audiencia. En este estudio intentamos acercarnos a la relación explicativa que pudiera haber entre estas dos realidades, cuestionándonos algunas pos…

A Latin American Casanova? Sex, Gender, Enlightenment and Revolution in the Life and Writings of Francisco de Miranda (1750–1816)

2022

This paper looks from a gender perspective at the elusive figure, complex personality and myth of Francisco de Miranda, enlightened traveller and Precursor of Latin American independence. By analysing Miranda's personal archive as his own carefully crafted creation, it pursues three closely connected issues insufficiently interpreted in historical perspective: the forms of masculinity he embodied and those from which he distanced himself, his connections with women and the role that gender played in his assessments of the countries he visited and wrote about. Miranda's trajectory and self-image trace an evolution (from mondain seducer and enlightened reader and thinker, to revolutionary sym…

Assessing commodity price risks and terms of trade exposures in emerging and developing countries

2020

This paper provides novel evidence on commodity exposure (impacts of commodity price and terms of trade fluctuations) amongst 46 emerging and developing countries (EMDCs) in Africa, Asia and the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. We focus on the exposures of six macroeconomic variables to the commodity prices and terms of trade, based on the real business cycle (RBC) theory. Our empirical results indicate that, overall, about 10% of the macroeconomic variation amongst the EMDCs is due to commodity market-related exposures. The Asian and LAC economies are especially sensitive to changes in commodity prices. The changes in the prices of world trade have an imminent impact on non-commo…

An ‘Authoritarian Nexus’? China’s Alleged Special Relationship with Autocratic States in Latin America

2015

China’s rise is often interpreted as a harbinger of a new era in world politics and raises the question if such a power transition may impact upon patterns of democratic rule across the globe. There is growing interest in whether China acts as an outside stabilizer for other authoritarian regimes. This paper contributes to the emerging literature on the international dimension of autocratic rule by focusing on Chinese Latin American policy. Using the method of structured focused comparisons, we want to assess whether China’s relations towards the Latin American autocracies Cuba and Venezuela differ from those with structurally similar, but democratic cooperation partners in the region, name…

Doña Marina, otra vez. Las contradicciones de la propuesta de Inés M. Stranger en Malinche

2019

La obra Malinche, de Inés M. Stranger, configura una propuesta de reescritura de la Malinche como figura mítica incorporada al imaginario cultural hispanoamericano, que perdura hasta la actualidad. Es común el empleo de esta figura en diversos autores contemporáneos que abordan cuestiones relativas a las identidades nacionales latinoamericanas en sus textos. Algunas autoras han utilizado, además, este personaje para elaborar una reescritura del mito con perspectiva crítica, en relación al modo en que este califica a un modelo de mujer indígena con toda una serie de significados negativos. La obra de Inés M. Stranger a la que se dedica el presente trabajo tiene unos presupuestos similares. E…

This paper examines the role of socio-demographic factors determining both sexist beliefs and attitudes and distorted perceptions of romantic love.
