Resumen: El siguiente artículo se propone realizar un análisis de la política social y económica del gobierno del Frente Amplio (FA) en Uruguay, de 2005 hasta 2016, señalando los cambios más relevantes y las contradicciones más destacables en estos dos ámbitos. El balance se realiza a partir de una comparación con la situación existente durante el anterior periodo neoliberal. Se concluye que el cambio ha sido real pero moderado y se ha evidenciado sobre todo en algunas reformas sociales (salud, laboral y tributaria). En el área económica los resultados macroeconómicos han sido satisfactorios, pero el modelo económico no se revertido sino todo lo contrario, se ha acentuado en sus problemas tradicionales (primarización, concentración y extranjerización de propiedad, contaminación ambiental). La metodología combina la revisión bibliográfica con entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas durante el año 2017. Palabras clave: Frente Amplio, cambio moderado, reformas sociales, política económica. The social and economic policy of the government of the Broad Front in Uruguay (2005-2016) Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the social and economic policy of the government of the ‘Broad Front’ in Uruguay, from 2005 to 2016, identifying the most relevant changes and the most notable contradictions in these two areas. We have made a comparison with the situation existing during the previous neoliberal period. We concluded that the change has been real but moderate and has been evident above all in some social reforms (health, labor and tax). In the economic area, the macroeconomic results have been satisfactory, but the economic model has not changed; it has worsened in its traditional problems (primarization, concentration and foreign ownership of property, environmental pollution). The methodology combines bibliographic review with semi-structured interviews conducted during the year 2017. Keywords: Broad Front, moderate change, social reforms, economic policy

The Government

Present-day South Africa is characterised by many societal and developmental issues, such as HIV awareness and prevention, child-headed households, environmental protection, poverty alleviation, violence and victim aid. However, it is widely acknowledged that government alone cannot address these issues effectively. The role of non-profit organisations (NPOs) in addressing social and development issues is increasingly emphasised. NPOs work at grass-roots level and they can therefore, on the whole, identify societal vulnerabilities and risks earlier than the government sector. However, due to the economic recession, NPOs operate in a competitive environment where an increasing number of NPOs rely on a small number of donors and other resources. NPOs should therefore differentiate themselves from the competition in order to obtain public legitimacy and funding. Corporate identity management is important for NPOs to fulfil their role in social welfare and thus contribute to disaster risk reduction. The exploratory nature of this study dictates a qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews with management of five NPOs in the social welfare sector were conducted in order to provide an answer to the study’s research question: ‘To what extent do NPOs in the social welfare sector practise corporate identity management, in order to prevent and address social welfare risks?’ The research found that NPOs do not realise the full potential of managing their corporate identities. NPOs therefore do not take advantage of a strong and distinct corporate identity which would allow them to ensure their ability to assess, address, reduce and/or alleviate vulnerabilities and disaster risks.

Social Reformers

During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, Spain experienced growing social instability. The worsening working conditions stimulated social conflict and the rise of the labour movement. In this context, the first voices in favour of state intervention in conflicts between capital and labour arose among the reformist intellectual elite. One of the first social policy measures undertaken by the state was the creation, in 1883, of the Comisión de Reformas Sociales (Commission for Social Reforms, CRS) as a consultative and advisory institution of the government on social issues. Under the influence of positivist methods of empirical sociology, the commission’s first initiative was to conduct a survey with the objective of undertaking a detailed diagnosis of the living conditions of the working population. Changing gender relations in the family and labour market, especially the conflicts over the use of women’s time, was one of the central questions in this survey. Thus, its results allow us to analyse both the discourses – by social reformers and other social groups – and the social practices of women at work in different sectors and in different parts of Spain.

Syrian Revolution

The popular uprising that began in Syria in 2011 generated an unprecedented number of YouTube videos recording events in Syria; this emphasized how the social media platform had become an important alternative space for news and information, a space beyond the control of the government. In this article, I address the role of Syrian video activism in the Syrian revolution, and pay particular attention to why young Syrian anti-regime protesters started recording and uploading their videos on YouTube. As such, I do not focus on technology or the medium per se, but on the peoples’ motivations—what led them to upload digital video content as testimonies of revolutionary events and violence. Based on observation of verified YouTube clips, field visits to Turkey and Syria and semi-structured interviews with Syrian video activists between the years 2014 and 2016, I suggest that Syrian video activists can be seen as revolutionary filmmakers similar to the twentieth-century ‘Kinoks’, or kino-ki, that formed part of Dziga Vertov’s Soviet filmmakers collective whose radical experiment aimed to bridge social revolution and realist cinematic practice (Tomas 1992) and document reality ‘As It Is’.

The Great War

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) criticized the social legislation passed by the British Liberal Party before the Great War, which represented the emer-gence of the modern Welfare State. His criticism was based on the ideas of a school of thought called distributism. Based upon the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, especially the encyclical Rerum novarum. This Thomist rooted school of thought praised that the means of production should be spread as widely as possible. Belloc believed that attempts of social reform by state inter-vention, dissociated from fundamental principles, would lead to results oppo-site to those initially intended. Social reforms aimed to improve the status of workers could lead, by the needs of their sustainability, to an economy in which certain people would be forced by regulation to work for others or for the state, who likewise would have to take care of them. Belloc coined the concept “Ser-vile State” for this kind of society. Keywords: Hilaire Belloc; Welfare State; Servile State; collectivism JEL codes: B14, B15, B25 Resumen: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) criticó la legislación social del Partido Li-beral en la Inglaterra de los años anteriores a la Primera Guerra Mundial, considerada precedente del Estado del Bienestar. Su crítica se basó en una lí-nea de pensamiento conocida como distributismo, que, fundamentándose en una filosofía de raíz tomista y tomando como punto de partida la encíclica Rerum Novarum, defendía la distribución más amplia posible de la propiedad de los medios de producción. Para Belloc los intentos de reformar la sociedad mediante la intervención estatal, disociados de principios fundamentales y en-raizados en una filosofía errónea, no consiguen sino acrecentar los problemas que tratan de resolver. De este modo, el reformador que emplea sus herramien-tas de planificación en aras de la mejora social acaba promoviendo la impo-sición de diversas formas de trabajo obligatorio, características del tipo de relaciones sociales que Belloc definió como Estado Servil.

Tendo o Grão-Pará como centro de análise, este artigo busca demonstrar que as decisões polá­ticas no perá­odo da independência tinham uma lógica mais ampla do que as fronteiras provinciais. Dessa forma, busca jogar luz na construção anterior de relações polá­ticas e econômicas entre as prová­ncias vizinhas, identificando o peso e os limites que as relações de dependência e hierarquia tiveram nesse momento. O recorte até 1825 dá-se, justamente, porque as circunstá¢ncias polá­ticas nas prová­ncias vizinhas, sobretudo o Maranhão, são um dos fatores que põem em dúvida o destino polá­tico do Pará mesmo após o seu alinhamento oficial ao governo do Rio de Janeiro.

In that way, it tries to shed light on the previous construction of political and economical relations among the neighboring provinces, identifying the weight and the limits that these relations of dependence and hierarchy had on that moment. The cutting until 1825 occurs exactly because the political circumstances in the neighboring provinces, especially in Maranhão, are one of the factors which bring into question the political destiny of Pará even after its official alignment to the government of Rio de Janeiro.

No presente estudo teve-se como objetivo compreender os fatores que levaram pessoas da terceira idade a terem sua escolaridade usurpada e como a sua leitura de mundo contribui para preservar seus saberes e suas memórias com altivez. Como recurso metodológico, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa do tipo descritiva. Os participantes foram três idosos integrantes do Centro de Convivência do Idoso de um município da Zona da Mata do Estado de Rondônia. As informações foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas estruturadas e analisadas seguindo as orientações da Análise de Conteúdo. Em relação ao aporte teórico, o presente estudo apoiou-se em autores como Bosi (2014), Beauvoir (1970), Freire (2015), entre outros. A partir dos relatos foi possível identificar cinco categorias temáticas: 1) a pobreza como marcador social determinante ao analfabetismo; 2) a exclusão familiar com a dimensão no convívio e no relacionamento; 3) o analfabetismo como fator determinante para a exclusão social; 4) os sonhos e as experiências de vida como elementos de enfrentamento ao analfabetismo; 5) e o envelhecimento e sua relação com as novas tecnologias. Conclui-se que a exclusão social do idoso acontece de forma velada e que os conhecimentos de mundo adquiridos com o passar da idade não recebem reconhecimento por parte dos familiares e da comunidade em que este se encontra inserido.Palavras-chave: Idoso. Analfabetismo. Exclusão social."If I had studied I wouldn't have suffered so much": knowledge and memories of illiterate elderly peopleAbstractThe purpose with this study was to understand the factors that led people in the elderly people to have their schooling usurped and how their reading of the world contributes to preserving their knowledge and their memories with haughtiness. As a methodological resource, a qualitative approach of the descriptive type was used. The participants were three elderly participants of the Center for the Cohabitation of the Elderly in a municipality of Zona da Mata in the State of Rondônia. The information was collected through structured interviews and analyzed according to the Content Analysis guidelines. As a theoretical contribution, the present study was supported by authors such as Bosi (2014), Beauvoir (1970), Freire (2015) and others. From the reports it was possible to identify five thematic categories: 1) poverty as a social marker that determines illiteracy; 2) family exclusion with the dimension of socializing and relationship; 3) illiteracy as a determining factor for social exclusion; 4) dreams and life experiences as elements of coping with illiteracy; 5) and aging and its relationship with new technologies. It is concluded that the social exclusion of the elderly occurs in a veiled way and the knowledge of the world acquired with the passing of the age has not apprehended by the relatives and the community in which it is inserted.Keywords: Elderly.

Desde finales de la década de los años 80, con el surgimiento del término desarrollo sostenible, las estrategias de desarrollo en México dieron un giro si bien desde el discurso sobre el modelo económico hegemónico, hasta las acciones que se tornaron demagógicas en los planes y programas gubernamentales, políticos, comunicativos e incluso educativos. La Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible (EDS), con esa carga ideológica neoliberal, contrapuesta con la Educación Ambiental de corte crítico y encaminada a la transformación social, irrumpe en el escenario del diálogo, la reflexión, la libertad los derechos humanos y ambientales, así como de la cultura para la paz y la justicia. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre la EDS y la Educación Ambiental desde las Epistemologías del Sur como una alternativa que transforme el actuar de la sociedad no solo desde el sur geográfico, sino sobre todo desde el pensamiento alternativo, mediante el procedimiento de revisión documental, análisis crítico y contextualización del tema objeto de estudio, que permita definir el rumbo de una educación cuyos cimientos se encuentran en la riqueza cultural de los pueblos originarios y no en los intereses y perversidades de las empresas trasnacionales y gobiernos tecnócratas. A manera de conclusión, se observa que los elementos de la EDS mantienen un discurso hegemónico, vertical, con políticas asistenciales a países en desarrollo en contraposición con la Educación Ambiental desde las Epistemologías del Sur, que tienen como referente un pensamiento crítico y emancipatorio característico de la región latinoamericana.

Health is the basic right for everybody, therefore every citizen is entitled to get the health care. In enforcing the regulation for Jaringan Kesehatan Nasional (National Health Supports), it is heavily influenced by the foreign interests. Economically, this program does not reduce the people’s burdens, on the contrary, it will increase them. This means the health supports in which should place the government as the guarantor of the public health, but the people themselves that should pay for the health care. In the realization of the health support the are elements against the Syariah principles. Indonesian Muslim Religious Leaders (MUI) only say that the BPJS Kesehatan (Sosial Support Institution for Health) does not conform with the syariah. The society is asked to register and continue the participation in the program of Social Supports Institution for Health. The best solution is to enforce the mechanism which is in accordance with the syariah principles. The establishment of BPJS based on syariah has to be carried out in cooperation from the elements of Social Supports Institution (BPJS), Indonesian Muslim Religious (MUI), Financial Institution Authorities, National Social Supports Council, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Social Supports Institution for Helath (BPJS Kesehatan) based on syariah principles could be obtained and could became the solution of the polemics in the society.
