This article presents a preliminary System Dynamics model developed to analyze the sustainability of a natural reserve in Mexico: the Tamiahua Wetlands. Wetlands are often referred to as nature’s kidneys because they filter contaminants from water. In spite of their importance, wetlands are endangered areas around the world. In order to build the model we take into account the Fishbanks model developed by Meadows (2004) as a starting point. Then, the model considers variables related to changes in total and economically active populations, and contaminants in water. The preliminary model presented in this study implies that fishing activity in the Tamiahua Wetlands, together with contaminants from human activity, have the potential to damage the diversity of species in the ecosystem, endangering its sustainability. Continued work on the model is intended to explore appropriate ways of preserving Tamiahua, providing inhabitants with economic activities that promote the sustainability of the region.

Since the meeting at Punta del Este in 1962, in which Mexico voted against the expulsion of Cuba from OAS, both countries maintained a relationship which was exceptional in a double sense: Mexico did not break with Cuba and Cuba did not intervene in Mexico. The exceptional character of their relationship had an important consequence for both of them: Mexicans never suffered the trauma of guerilla warfare – and its corollary: repressive war – and Cubans were never totally isolated from Latin America. It also had, of course, a significant effect on their relationship with the United States: both countries, through their friendship, reaffirmed their nationalism against the hegemonic power in North America. The article recounts and analyzes the details of the meeting at Punta del Este.

Social constitutionalism consists in enshrining second-generation human rights in the Constitution and implementing them with systematic support from the state. This complex phenomenon is a kind of middle ground between liberalism and socialism, which is usually referred to as “social liberalism” or “social democracy”. The paper is a case study focused on the social constitutionalism of Mexico and Peru in the first half of the 20th century, which was the period when the solid foundations of this type of constitutionalism were formed in both states. At the same time, Mexico is the world leader in the introduction of social constitutionalism (1917). Peru was the second Latin American country in which this phenomenon appeared (1920). Mexican and Peruvian social constitutionalism are thus the two oldest and also to a large extent, but not completely, similar constitutional arrangements of second-generation human rights in the Latin American area (right to education, right to private property limited by its social function, workers’ rights, social security and others). At the same time, these are relatively complex legal arrangements that have stimulated fundamental social, economic and political transformations in both Mexico and Peru.

In 1943, as a result of the decision taken by the Polish and Mexican authorities, support ed by Great Britain and the United States of America, a settlement of Polish refugees wascreated in Santa Rosa near the town of Leon in Mexico. The refugees came from a group of people deported deep into the USSR from the Eastern borderlands of the Second Republic of Poland during World War II. The inhabitants of the settlement included many children and women. That fact resulted in the setting up of a nursery school, a primary school, a secondary school, as well as vocational schools and courses for that population of Polish citizens. There was also a large orphanage in that place. All the work carried out by teachers and tutors at those institutions was aimed at educating the youngest generation of refugees to become good Polish citizens and preparing them to undertake professional work after returning to an independent Poland. The Mexican branch of the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment in Mexico of the government in London was in charge of educational work in the settlement. Santa Rosa played an important and praiseworthy role in the history of Polish education in exile, as well as in the history of Polish education as a whole. In December 1946 the settlement was closed down. Its inhabitants, school children and teenagers, remained in the vast majority in exile, mainly in the USA. A small number of children stayed in a Refuge for Polish Children, which existed in Tlalpan in the suburbs of Mexico in the years 1947–1952.

International comparisons reveal that – even controlling for a host of explanatory factors – credit depth is exceptionally low in Mexico. Using panel data methods linking credit growth and fundamentals, this paper estimates a long-term gap between actual and expected credit of about 40 percent of GDP. Possible explanations include the history of banking crises, the large informal sector and an inefficient legal system. Using a disequilibrium regression approach, this paper also finds that supply factors are particularly important as determinants of credit in Mexico. Recent financial reforms address many of the supply constraints, but their success will depend on implementation. The main challenge going forward will be to support financial deepening, while limiting risks to financial stability.

The text comments on Mexican writer José Emilio Pacheco’s relationship with Kafka’s work, mentioning his journalistic texts on the subject, but concentrating mainly on his short stories. Pacheco’s vision of the city in which and “other” world opens up, submerged beneath the everyday, alludes to Kafka. In the fantastic stories — “La fiesta brava”, “Tenga para que se entretenga” and others- Pacheco develops the theme of subway spaces, uncertain and logically inexplicable. In the other thematic line of his short stories, with the characters of children and adolescents, the Mexican capital and its Roma neighborhood undergo a change of modernization so inadequate that it casts doubt on the very existence of the remembered world of childhood. In turn, in the short novel Las batallas en el desierto, the story of the boy in love opens other accents in the relationship between the son and the father and power. The same way of narrating opposes the freedom of art to the opaque authoritarian world.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse how the violence and abuse against elderly migrants in Monterrey, Mexico affects their health. For this research, 257 elderly Mexican migrants were surveyed in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey during 2012 through 2013. The study found that the majority of elderly people migrate to urban areas in search of a better economic opportunity. Once in the city, they are absorbed into the informal economic sectors. Results indicate that most of these elderly people suffer physical, sexual and psychological violence, as well as neglect and financial abuse from their employer, relatives, clients and pedestrians, which has an adverse effect on their health. Elderly migrants reported numerous health problems, where many of them were suffering from different types of injuries, stress and depression, among others. This paper concluded that violence suffered by elderly migrants has a significant impact on their health.

The purpose of this article is to show the reception and circulation of the Corpus Iuris Civilis the New Spain (Mexico) during the XVI and XVII centuries. It analyzes the importance of the Roman law as a part of the phenomenon of legal reception in the Spanish America. It studies the readings, comments and censorships of the different editions of these books, which were introduced extensively since the first decades of the American conquest. In the recent years, the Latin American historiography has analyzed the reception of the ius commune in the Spanish colonies, but it appears to give more priority to other legal sources as laws and customs. As a result of this point of view, it has been forgotten the knowledge contained in the legal books. In this research, my main sources are the books preserved in the Mexican National Library. The choice of the materials is due to it preserves the prints of some of the major libraries during this period (university, seminars and religious colleges). In order to achieve this objective, I analyze my period according to the Robert Darnton’s communication circuit. This methodological model focuses on the role of authors, publishers, printers, distributors and readers in the process of production, distribution and consumption of the books.

Research background: Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are one of the most influential financial innovations, reshaping the investment funds market in many countries, including Mexico. Due to their similar investment objectives, ETFs are considered substitutes for mutual funds. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to provide an indepth insight into the issues associated with the development of financial markets in Mexico over the period 2002-2012, putting special emphasis on the development patterns of ETFs. Methods: First we use descriptive statistics to unveil basic changes and trends in the Mexican investment funds (ETFs and mutual funds). Then we use a category of the innovation diffusion models, i.e. logistic growth models, in order to explore the key development patterns. Data sources and methodological framework are presented in the second section of the article, with a detailed description of the innovation diffusion models applied in the research (based on 3-parametric logistic curve). The sum of assets under management of ETFs and mutual funds is considered as the size of the total investment funds market. Findings & Value added: Empirical findings indicate a significant development of the ETF market, both in terms of assets under management and market share. According to the presented estimations, Mexican ETF market development can be described with the logistic growth models, and three characteristic phases of the logistic curve were clearly observable. The predicted ETF market development patterns point towards a further increase of the market share of ETFs over the next 3-5 years, yet the probability of exceeding the level of ca. 20-30% seems low.

The article is a part of a discussion about the efforts of the modern nation‑state to control individuals by circumscribing their mobility. The case study concerns a community from Mixteca region in Oaxaca, Mexico. The exclusion from the labor market contributed to national and international mobility of the community members. Because of their border crossing without the required state authorization migrants are labeled “illegal”. The U.S. nation‑state reduces them to what Giorgio Agamben has called “bare life”. Deportation is manifestation of total power that nation‑state holds over a deportable alien. In the first decade of the 21st century the number of removals equaled deportations during the Great Depression. Members of the transnational community, excluded both by “sending” and “receiving” states, seek ways to build the community’s welfare on their own. It is possible due to collective monetary remittances, which enable the realization of the communitarian goals. That is an example of political culture that constitutes the emerging transnational citizenship.

The main purpose of this article is to reconstruct the linguistic stereotype of the macho in the Mexican Spanish. The applied methodology is a qualitative analysis of various corpora: Corpus del Proyecto para el estudio sociolingüístico del español de España y de América PRESEEA, Corpus de las Sexualidades de México, Corpus Histórico del Español en México, Corpus del Español Mexicano Contemporáneo CEMC, Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual de la Real Academia Española CREA and Corpus de Español del Siglo XXI CORPES XXI. As a result, we have a description of how the macho should look like, behave, treat women and other men. However, the results prove also that the word “macho” is rarely used by the Mexicans and this conclusion requires further investigation.

The philosopher José Gaos said that in universal history the thought of Spanish language has its place and its historic location is presented with the attitude assumed by Spain to modernity, which makes the thought of the Renaissance and the reform have resulted in the grandeur of colonial thought and has had a creative participation in the Counter. However the thought of decadence and independence was born of contact with modern Renaissance science and the philosophy of the Enlightenment, positivism, krausismo and philosophies that represent the latest reactions against modernity. José Gaos was a great exponent of the philosophical doctrines, so that the best way to present the leading ideas of the methods of work of the Seminar for the Study of Thinking Countries Spanish Language was used to cull the fundamental ideas by the thinkers of Latin America and their assumptions, which are always relevant references to their texts.

This paper presents the results of fieldwork concerning local development programmes addressed to poor Indian women and the social changes they effect in the marginalised Mazahua communities in central Mexico conducted from 2011 to 2015. By analysing the operation of a women’s cooperative I show how neoliberal ideology, which is at the core of development schemes, incorporates both the feminist ideas of gender equality and empowerment of women, and the Mexican tradition of politicising maternity in a crisis to establish new social hierarchies, subjectivities, and power relations, promote individualistic attitudes and a new, “market-oriented” morality, and reinforce political clientelism, leading to profound and usually detrimental (for women and local gender relations) changes in the functioning of native communities.

This paper discusses beliefs associated with human spiritual elements (often called “souls”) held by the indigenous Nahua from Sierra Zongolica, Mexico. Spiritual elements, such as tonalli, nawalli, and yolotl form part of a complex of correlated and often overlapping concepts. Such semantic intricacy related to the notion of a spiritual element is not just a local peculiarity of Sierra Zongolica. It appears in ethnographic data concerning other Nahuatl speaking areas, as well as in early colonial sources. Th erefore, the case of Nahua beliefs constitutes a challenge to monosemantic, unambiguous defi nitions of Mesoamerican indigenous concepts of human spiritual elements, as presented by many anthropologists and ethnohistorians.

This paper aims to research different strategies for developing the green economy in shrinking cities. Considering urban shrinkage and the green economy as two extended concepts, a French town in post-Fordist transition and a Mexican post-mining town are selected as the most diverse/similar systems to indicate different strategies for sustainable development in shrinking cities. Embedded into different national backgrounds, including urban dynamics and support schemes for the green economy, the selected cases share the objectives of greening and regrowing strategies relying on other sectors of the green economy. The methodology applied is qualitative, including fieldwork, semi-structured interview techniques, carried out in person or remotely, and questionnaires. Findings show some positive results regarding sustainability and ecological transition in the French case, while regrowth trends were reached in the Mexican case. However, the analysis leads to uncertain scenarios for positive long-term impacts, especially due to uncertainty around future supporting policies for territorial cohesion and sustainability at national and regional levels.

This study focuses on the intriguing and idiosyncratic personality of Eduard Preiss (1823–1883), who was one of the first Czech globetrotters. Today he is almost forgotten, and therefore this article aims to present him to a broader audience and analyse his mindsets. His two travels to both shores of the Pacific: Mexico in America and Australia are the principal focus because they present most of his unique and original opinions. He visited both continents during the most opportune times when the emperor Maximilian of Habsburg ruled in Mexico. Australia, on the other hand, was experiencing the gold rush that impacted the Aboriginal society. Both events Preiss described in his obscure articles and memoirs. By the application of the critical content and discourse analyses of his writings, this paper finds out how a man from Central Europe viewed these “exotic” lands and their people.
