This article locates the discussion of this Special Section within the wider analysis of Interculturalism and intercultural dialogue as a new way of framing dynamic inter‐ethnic and broader community relations, and considering how perceived and real crisis affects both states’ and societys’ understandings of ethnicity, culture and diversity. Taking cases from Catalonia, Spain, the European Union, this Special Section's multi‐level approach illustrates how intercultural dialogue can be developed at the sub‐State, State, Region and international levels. By surveying the articles in the Special Section, this introduction critiques the Interculturalism framework and develops it. Crucially, drawing out insights from across these different types of groupings and from theorists offering a range of perspectives, this collection is able to offer new insights on Interculturalism, its relations with Multiculturalism, and forms of intercultural dialogue. 相似文献

Complex systems often involve a huge number of variables whose interdependence must be taken into account. This makes the
adoption of an integrated approach essential for the proper management of a wide range of aspects related to human life, from
social matters to the environment. In particular, this paper takes into consideration three different experiences in which
the use of an integrated approach represented the most effective response for managing the evolving realities we took into
consideration. We focused on the issue of land management, with particular attention to the problem of monoculture in Brazil.
Then we analyzed the attempted cooperation between the States of the Aral Sea area for efficient water management of the basin
and, finally, we dealt with the matter of energy efficiency and how the production of home integrated systems could lead to
a better rationalization of energy consumption in the near future.

Maps engage both with the ‘not there’ and the ‘not yet' by simultaneously envisioning the future and tracing the lines of new geographies of development. Starting from these premises, the paper explores the complex relationship between cartography and hydrocarbon exploration in the Canadian Northwest. Through a selection of maps and mapping initiatives, it is shown how cartography has sustained specific geographic imaginaries of the North, such as the ‘energy frontier’, by infusing diverse hopes in the map-readers. Frontier-making through maps is, in this sense, a particularly difficult process to grasp, being influenced by overlapping interventions and agendas. The paper argues that it is because of their continuous mobilization of hope – regardless of whether this is directed towards oil or sovereignty – that maps should be treated as extremely powerful technologies, which contribute to transforming Canada’s northwest energy frontier into a ‘sticky’ and thus potentially unescapable site of promise. 相似文献

AbstractThe University of Tennessee Libraries Career Employee Program (CEP) was inaugurated in 1999 to provide career staff with opportunities for educational and service enrichment and to financially reward support staff who meet the program requirements. This article describes the experiences of the participants, a review board member, and a supervisor, all of whom work in serials areas of the University of Tennessee Libraries. The libraries' human resources officer explains the origin of the CEP and the process of making it an ongoing program. 相似文献

Using a two‐period overlapping generation (OLG) model, this article seeks to identify the optimal redistribution policy instrument in terms of aggregate welfare when agents differ according to their labour condition. We use five policy specifications: (i) early redistribution to the young informal generation; (ii) late redistribution to the informal old generation; (iii) a mix between early and late redistribution; (iv) redistribution from the current formal young generation to the current formal old one; and (v) a non‐redistribution scenario. With inelastic labour supply, we show that transferring to the young performs better as a redistribution policy. This result is robust across different parameter values. 相似文献

In response surface analysis, a second order polynomial model is often used for inference on the stationary point of the response function. The standard confidence regions for the stationary point are due to Box & Hunter (1954). The authors propose an alternative parametrization, in which the stationary point is the parameter of interest; likelihood techniques and Bayesian analysis are then easier to perform. The authors also suggest an approximate method to get highest posterior density regions for the maximum point (not simply for the stationary point). Furthermore, they study the coverage probabilities of these Bayesian regions through simulations. 相似文献

The increasing dimension of socio-environmental problems make sustainability a macroeconomic issue and new methodological
instruments are needed. In this paper, Material Flows Accounting is presented as a new statistical approach for an evaluation
of macroeconomic sustainability. Based on the pre-analytic vision that economies are an open system embedded in the environment,
it provides an overview in tonnes of annual material inputs and outputs of an economy. It quantifies the physical dimension
of societies and analyses the “size” of the human economy in the geo-biosphere. As it provides information about efficiency
and material requirements, it is a very important method for analysing whether a nation is moving towards sustainability or
away from it. Used in many official statistics, it will become one of the most powerful tools in describing sustainability
at the macroeconomic level. In this paper, after the presentation of the Material Flows Accounting approach, an Italian case
study is considered. 相似文献
