La acción de los individuos organizados para tratar de influir sobre los poderes públicos es algo tan antiguo como la humanidad. Siempre que el hombre se organiza, las personas se agrupan formando asociaciones que tratan de conquistar el poder o de influir activamente en aquel que lo ejerce. Tratar de influir está en la esencia del hombre, pero no es menos cierto que hablar de influencia (cabildeo en América Latina) siempre ha despertado recelos y ha sido una palabra a evitar. Pese a que se han utilizado todo tipo de eufemismos, es una profesión perfectamente normalizada en todo el mundo y más en lugares como Washington DC y Bruselas, centros neurálgicos donde todo tipo de grupos intentan influir legítimamente en las diferentes normativas. Se atribuye al presidente Kennedy la frase “los lobistas me hacen entender un problema en diez minutos, mientras que mis colaboradores tardan tres días”. Este libro trata de hacer un repaso a la historia y los orígenes de las relaciones gubernamentales en el mundo, sus técnicas, herramientas y sus implicaciones en la democracia moderna.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.
