The document discusses two perspectives for understanding the power of ethno-politics in the contemporary world: a political-pragmatic approach and a social-psychological approach. The political approach analyzes how ethnic groups can use ethno-politics to gain material and political outcomes. It also examines the role of ethno-political entrepreneurs and how ethno-politics can destabilize states and international relations. The social-psychological approach focuses on how ethno-politics provides individuals with a sense of identity and security, especially during times of social and political uncertainty.

Prof andreas eshete tribute to meles zenawi
This document summarizes a speech given in honor of Meles Zenawi, the late Prime Minister of Ethiopia. The summary is:
Meles Zenawi championed two ideals that were central to Ethiopia's development: embracing diversity and advocating for a democratic developmental state. He fought against past injustices of forced assimilation and inequality. By recognizing Ethiopia's diverse cultures in the constitution, he helped overcome resentment and build solidarity. Upholding diversity also respects existing cultural values and identities. Meles believed a developmental state was needed to overcome poverty through economic transformation and development, which would in turn strengthen democracy and social justice. His vision and leadership pursued self-effacing ideals to overcome Ethiopia's unfavor
Power Powder & Patriotism
This document is the introduction and first two chapters of a dissertation submitted for a Masters in International Public Policy at UCL in September 2015. The dissertation examines the sociological origins of nationalism through a comparative analysis of how national ethnic identities came to supersede other forms of affiliation in the USA during the Civil War and Japan during the Meiji Restoration. The introduction outlines the research questions and comparative case study methodology. Chapter 1 provides context on debates around nationalism. Chapter 2 reviews the literature on two main theoretical approaches to nationalism - primordialism which sees nationalism deriving from ancient roots, and modernism which views nationalism as a modern social construction.
Cultural Studies vs Political Economy
This document summarizes the key differences between cultural studies and political economy approaches in media studies. Cultural studies focuses on how audiences interpret and make meaning from media, while political economy examines the political and economic forces that influence media production and content. Both seek to understand power dynamics but cultural studies emphasizes how media allows for oppositional views, while political economy views media as promoting ruling ideologies. The document traces the historical relationship between the two approaches and argues they can be integrated to provide a more comprehensive analysis.

Nation,nationalism,national power and its elements
A nation is defined as an organized group of people living in a specific territory who share a common language, culture, traditions, values, and political interests. Nationalism refers to the sentiments and affection people feel toward their nation, including its traditions, language, values, and political and economic interests. National power is a nation's, state's, or country's capacity to control and influence the policies and behaviors of other states, and it consists of both tangible and intangible elements. Tangible elements include a nation's population, territory, military power, agriculture, and infrastructure, while intangible elements include ideology, leadership, education, technology, and other factors that cannot be physically touched but are potentially more powerful.

The Role Of The Media In Rise And Fall Of The Nation State
The document discusses the role of media in the rise and demise of nation-states. It argues that media, especially transnational media, helped rise cultures of nation-states by extending national consciousness to migrants outside their homelands. However, transnational media also led to the demise of national cultures by offering a disordering to conventional cultures in nation-states. As a case study, it examines how Turkish satellite television disseminates Turkish national culture abroad, both influencing and affecting the cultural order of Turkey.

Political nationalism focuses on self-determination and statehood, while cultural nationalism emphasizes cultural heritage without political autonomy.
Strangers in a New Land - 2014
This document provides an introduction and literature review for a study analyzing integration of immigrant groups in Germany, France, and the United States through a communications lens. It begins by outlining the elements that will be evaluated for each immigrant group, including immigration policy, education, civic participation, and language/culture acquisition. It then reviews relevant literature on cultural dimensions, models of integration, and theories of community vs. society. The first case examined is Turks in Germany, providing history on Turkish immigration to Germany beginning in the 1950s as guest workers. It notes current tensions in debates around Turkish integration and identifies that most Turks live in ethnic enclaves feeling isolated from German society.
Politics and power
The document discusses several definitions and perspectives on politics and power. It notes that politics involves both cooperation and conflict in the formulation and execution of binding decisions that govern social groups. Power is a key aspect of politics and can take various forms including political, economic, and military power. Legitimacy, influence, and control are important dimensions of how power is exercised.
Minorities
This document discusses minorities and issues related to cultural, political, and economic factors. It covers strategies and tactics used by minorities for cultural expression and autonomy. It notes that true autonomy is political and that cultural claims are tied to wider economic and political dependencies. Minorities gain consciousness through political and economic repression and designation of difference by others. The document advocates for new social forms and a plurality of powers rather than centralization. It also discusses how cultural reference and expression need political force behind them to have effective power and influence society as a whole.

Nationalism and Citizenship
This document discusses the concepts of nationality and citizenship, arguing that they are often confused but analytically distinct. It summarizes that sociology has traditionally treated nationality, state, and society as synonymous, but these concepts are increasingly differentiated in modern societies. The relationship between nationality (national identity) and citizenship (state identity) is complex, especially in the UK where multiple national identities exist alongside British citizenship.
Politics and power
The document discusses the concepts of politics and power through a collection of quotes and definitions. It addresses politics as both cooperation and conflict, and explores the relationship between the two. It also examines different types of power, including political, economic, and military power. Legitimacy of power is discussed through traditional, legal-rational, and charismatic forms of legitimacy. Information is presented as an important power resource in modern society.

Nationalism
Nationalism is a political ideology that promotes a national identity based on shared characteristics. It holds that a nation should govern itself independently and maintain its unique culture and national symbols. There are different types of nationalism such as civic nationalism which defines the nation based on shared political values rather than ethnicity, and ethnic nationalism which ties national identity to a shared heritage and ancestry. Nationalism is seen by some as a way for a threatened nation to unite against external threats but others criticize it as an artificial construct that can marginalize minorities and increase conflict.
Nation And Identity
The document discusses theories of nationalism and the origins and development of national identities. It outlines the key theories of Smith, Anderson, and Gellner for understanding the emergence of nations and nation-states. Smith argues nations emerge from pre-modern ethnic communities, while Anderson views nations as imagined communities enabled by print capitalism. Gellner sees nations as imposed from above through state-driven standardization and education. National identities can develop and produce nationalism, which may lead to the political creation of nation-states. Prior identities do not disappear entirely.
1.1 what is nationalism
Nationalism is the belief that the nation should be the central principle of political organization and that nations have the right to self-determination and independent statehood. There are different forms of nationalism including political, cultural, ethnic, liberal, conservative, expansionist, and anticolonial nationalism. While nationalism can promote social cohesion and independence, it is also seen by some as inherently divisive and a potential source of conflict between groups.

Actors of international relations
The document discusses nation-states and non-state actors in international relations. It defines nation and state, and provides characteristics of nation-states like defined territory and nationalism. It also discusses the roles of non-state actors like multinational corporations and NGOs, and how they have increasingly impacted the global political and economic landscape in recent decades.
Patrons Curators Inventors & Thieves (Introduction)
This document introduces the topics that will be discussed in the book, including:
- The cultural industries' influence on social meaning and behavior.
- How technological innovation has historically enabled the growth of cultural industries.
- How the development of the internet in the 1990s disrupted traditional business models and intellectual property laws.
- Ongoing debates around intellectual property laws and their ability to address digital piracy and new forms of content distribution.
- Competing narratives around traditional cultural industry stakeholders and new technology-enabled disruptors that are reshaping industries.
State and society in the process of democratization
This document discusses the relationship between states and societies in newly democratizing countries. It makes three key points:
1) In many developing countries in the 1980s, authoritarian regimes broke down and democratic rule resurged, accompanied by a resurgence of civil society groups. These state and society actors have since developed new, creative ways of interacting on policy issues.
2) Examples show societal organizations now participate in various stages of policymaking, especially at local levels of government where they help implement projects. However, inequality remains in national policy decision-making.
3) The Philippine cases studied highlight that new modes of state-society relations are possible even at national levels, through alternative policymaking aren
Part 3 Space
This document provides an overview of globalization and its impact on the regional, national, and local levels. It discusses how globalization has increased connectivity and interdependence between different parts of the world. While globalization has led to some uniformity and "sameness" across cultures, it has also strengthened regional identities and nationalism. The document also examines how nations, regions, and local communities have responded to globalization by promoting their unique cultural aspects in order to attract tourism and investment.
Nationalism and National Identity
This document discusses several key aspects of nationalism including:
1) Nationalism emerged as a relatively recent concept in the 17th-18th centuries and involves the idea of an inclusive nation that treats all members equally and is sovereign.
2) National identity is socially and politically constructed over time and can be used as a resource by leaders to pursue other interests.
3) There are different theories for explaining nationalism including viewing it as arising from primordial bonds, cultural construction, political institutions, and structural forces in society.
Multiculturalism And Nationalism Kosovo And Northern Ireland
This document summarizes a PhD research project on inter-group conflict in Northern Ireland and Kosovo. It discusses the main research questions, theoretical frameworks, methodology involving interviews and observations, and preliminary findings. The key findings are that inter-group divisions are most intense and violent among socially and economically deprived communities located at interfaces between national groups, and that nationalist elites manipulate these divisions to maintain control through fear-based politics and prejudice.
The violence of organized forgetting
This document discusses the rise of neoliberalism and its negative impacts, particularly on youth and public memory. It argues that neoliberal policies have dismantled democratic institutions and social protections. This has increased inequality and precarity for young people, who now face a bleak future with few opportunities or security. Additionally, neoliberalism promotes "organized forgetting" of progressive ideas and social movements, instead celebrating individualism. The result is a rise in state violence and a surveillance system that views all, especially the marginalized, as potential criminals or terrorists. Recent youth protests against austerity and inequality have been met with police crackdowns, demonstrating how neoliberal states now merge violence and governance.
Sub national movements as a rational choice
This document discusses two approaches to analyzing sub-national movements: 1) a rational choice perspective focusing on political actors manipulating identity and interests, and 2) a transcultural perspective accounting for cultural flows and hybridization. It uses the Telengana movement in India as a case study, first analyzing it through the rational choice lens, then considering how a transcultural approach could provide additional insights. Key points addressed include how the Telengana movement challenges theories of sub-national movements being resolved once accommodated, implications for understanding cultural nationalism, and policy recommendations for states facing sub-national challenges.
Identity at the peace, conflict security & development Nexus
All animals recognize differences between “self” and “other”. In human societies, these differences take on enormous significance, partly because humans are so individualistic – rather than being clone-like automatons, humans have individual personalities. Society validates that individualism by giving infants unique names. Those names also keep track of who’s related to whom, sometimes for generations back into the past. On the other hand, Ethnic groups constitute an identity as defined by outsiders who do not belong to the group but identify it as different from their own groups and by “insiders” who belong to the same group. This generally becomes the basis of mobilizing group’s consciousness and solidarity and which in certain situation result in political activities.

Presentation based on Nationalism ideas ( Case study).pptx
This document defines and discusses different types and theories of nationalism. It begins by defining the concepts of a nation, state, and nation-state. It then outlines several ideological perspectives on nationalism, including cultural nationalism, liberal nationalism, conservative nationalism, chauvinistic nationalism, anticolonial nationalism, and modernist approaches. For each type, it provides brief explanations of their key characteristics and political perspectives, as well as examples of countries that exemplify each approach.
The City As A European Symbol
The document discusses the evolution and role of cities throughout history as a European invention. Cities helped form identities in the past and this could help unite Europe. Contemporary Europe includes diverse cultures that cities are best equipped to cope with. Essential values like democracy and citizenship emerged from cities. Cities act as melting pots that produce new ideas through architecture, planning and the mixing of people and cultures. Nationalism later reduced cities' autonomy but their role in identity formation remains important.
Nationalism is exclusionary by definition
This document discusses nationalism and its relationship to multicultural societies and individual rights. It begins by defining nationalism and noting its subjective nature. It then examines the differences between cultural nationalism, which can be exclusionary, and civic or political nationalism, which emphasizes shared citizenship. The document also explores the positive effects of civic nationalism but notes the negative impacts that ethnic or expansionist nationalism can have, like the conflicts in former Yugoslavia. It argues that nationalism is mutually exclusive with liberalism's emphasis on individual rights and freedoms when nationalism threatens the rights of minority groups or promotes intolerance. However, it qualifies this by stating nationalism is not definitively exclusionary.

Civic european cities in the age of national populism
This document discusses the rise of national populism in Europe and its implications. It makes three key points:
1) There is currently a clash between ethnic nationalism promoted by national populists and civic nationalism constrained by rule of law in the EU. National populists imagine the nation as having common ethnic roots while civic nationalism is more inclusive.
2) National populism in countries like Hungary and Poland has led to the deterioration of democracy, including attacks on the media, judiciary, and civil society. This threatens the core values of the EU.
3) National populists claim to defend national sovereignty but their version of ethnic nationalism is incompatible with the civic, inclusive form of nationalism that underpins the EU. Their
Nationalism 1
This document discusses the concept of nationalism. It begins by defining nationalism as a sense of patriotism and sacrifice for one's country. Nationalism also contributed to the breakup of large empires in the early 20th century. Nationalism emerged as a compelling political ideology that shaped history and inspired both loyalty and hatred. In the 19th century, it led to the unification of smaller states into larger nation-states like Germany and Italy. The document then discusses the concepts of nation and nationalism. A nation is an "imagined community" that is defined by shared beliefs, history, territory, political ideas, and common identity among its members. Finally, the document discusses national self-determination and the challenges of balancing nationalism
Nationalism
Nationalism is based on the idea that the nation is the central principle of political organization. There are differing views on what constitutes the basis for national identity, with primordial nationalists arguing it is based on common descent and culture, while civic nationalists see it as shared civic values and willingness to participate in the political community. Nationalism legitimizes government authority as representing popular self-government by and for the people of the nation. It addresses issues of collective identity and forges social bonds among the members of the nation.
Nationalism
This document defines and discusses various concepts related to nationalism. It begins by defining a nation as a cultural, political, and psychological community bound together by common language, religion, history and traditions. Nationalism is then defined as the political belief that nations should govern themselves independently.
It goes on to discuss different types of nationalism like liberal nationalism, which supports national self-determination, versus expansionist nationalism, which is more exclusive and chauvinistic. Civic nationalism is defined as being inclusive and based on citizenship, while ethno-cultural nationalism is exclusive and based on descent. Conservative nationalism promotes social cohesion over liberal principles. Anticolonial nationalism emerged in opposition to Western imperialism.
4th week political culture
This document discusses the concept of political culture, which refers to the fundamental values, outlooks, and knowledge that shape politics in a given society. It covers several aspects of political culture, including civic culture, which balances participation with stability; post-materialism among educated youth; Huntington's theory of clashes between civilizations; the importance of elite political culture; and political culture in authoritarian states, which typically emphasizes security over self-expression. Contemporary trends shaping political cultures globally include democratization, marketization, and globalization.
Nationalism 2
Nationalism involves a strong identification of a group with a political entity defined in national terms, such as a nation. It has both united people and divided them, helping to liberate some from oppressive rule while also causing conflict, bitterness, and war. Nationalist struggles have contributed to the redrawing of state boundaries. A nation is an "imagined community" held together by shared beliefs, history, territory, political ideals, and common political identity among its members.

Defining Culture
Culture as a Shared System of Meaning
Culture: the knowledge that people in groups share and learn, which helps them to interpret and generate behavior
Components of Culture
Abstract body of knowledge expressed in various things throughout society
Beliefs, values, ideals, expectations, explanations
Ways of acting and interacting
People in groups (can not have a culture of one)
Culture as communication from individuals to the group
Cultures spawn subculture (subset of larger culture)
Subcultures have more of an impact on an individual’s lifestyle because they are more specialized
Have mostly to do with how you construct your reality, although you are still part of the national culture
What are some subcultures that you belong to?
Enculturation: the process of learning one’s own culture—also known as cultural learning.
Primary learning period is from birth to age seven
Continue learning throughout entire life
Dual-process of enculturation
Tacit: understood learning (observed/experienced learning)
Tacit learning is more valuable
Explicit: stated or written
Formal codes, laws, institutions
Sanctions: system of rewards and punishments
*Example of cultural learning: Southern California freeways. How does being able to survive on the freeways of Southern California require a combination of tacit and explicit cultural knowledge?
Cultural knowledge helps you interpret behavior and generate your own behavior
Allows individuals to act among others and be understood
Evolves and changes
Question to consider:
What are some examples of the way cultural knowledge has changed over time?
For example, look at the way we understand
gender in the contemporary moment—how has what it means to be a woman changed since even the beginning of the 20th century?
Set of ideas to defend/rationalize the distribution of power
Inequalities are arbitrary in that they are socially constructed/socially agreed upon
So what does this mean?
System of beliefs about the world that involves distortions of reality at the same time it provides justification for the status quo.
Ideology serves the interests of groups in the society who justify their position by distorting social definition of reality.
Social control? Gives “us” a definition of reality that is false, yet it simultaneously orders our comprehension of the surrounding world, it constructs our reality.
Ideology: system of justification (or to make right) of arbitrary inequalities
A social construction, or social construct, is an idea which may appear to be natural and obvious to those who accept it, but in reality is an invention or artifact of a particular culture or society.
Social constructs are in some sense human choices rather than laws resulting from divine will or nature.
Obvious social constructs include such things as games, language, money, governments, universities, corporations and other institutions.
Less obvious social constru.
Old Ghosts in New Sheets
This document provides a summary of a research paper about the foreign policy positions of five populist parties in Western Europe, including three right-wing parties (Front National, FPÖ, PVV) and two left-wing parties (Die Linke, SP). It finds that these populist parties share a critique of modernization and globalization processes and a desire to uphold more unitary visions of society. Their foreign policy positions generally oppose the erosion of national sovereignty and embrace nationalist stances, while left-wing parties also support anti-imperialist stances. The document analyzes their positions on transatlantic relations, EU-Russia relations, the Middle East, and global economic issues.

5 political theories
The document discusses competing theories about the relationship between the state and society. It examines how the state emerged from society but gained autonomy through tools like taxation, military, and bureaucracy. Sociological theories view society as prior to the individual, while pluralist theories see the state balancing competing interest groups. The development of the modern nation-state was influenced by industrialization, citizenship, and nationalism. Today, theories debate the balance between state power and individual rights, as well as how globalization is impacting the nation-state model.

The rise of nationalism
Introduction
The rise of nationalism poses a threat to globalization and the set of values that the international community has sought to develop in the past. The election of President Donald Trump and Brexit threatened the neoliberal agenda that has promoted free enterprise and globalization. Understanding the rise of nationalism provides an effective instrument for identifying effective intervention measures.

Fig. 1: Theoretical framework for the resurgence of nationalism
The theoretical framework demonstrates the impact that environmental factors have on the inherent patriotism of an individual. Each person has a close relationship with their nation that forms part of their identity. The cultural factors in the society may affect how people perceive others. Part of the opposition towards nationalism can be linked to cultural issues, which affect how the people perceive each other. In addition, social-economic factors may affect the sense of security that a person has about their future (Spencer & Wollman, 2005). Political actors may exploit social-economic and cultural factors to stir interest in nationalism. The resurgence of nationalism can be linked to the cultural and social-economic factors in the American society. Consequently, it is evident that the adoption of nationalism is a response to threats to the identity or survival of an individual. The push for nationalism is a reactive response to the fear and anxiety caused by the potential loss of the identity of a person (BBC, 2018).

Cross-Border Cartographic Imaginery
The document discusses early modern cartography of the borderlands between Croatia and the Ottoman Empire, Venice, and the Habsburg Empire from the 16th to 18th centuries. It analyzes how the three imperial powers approached mapmaking differently based on their needs and priorities, and how their maps reflected geopolitical realities and identities of the time period. Borderlands and identities were complex and multifaceted, as maps from all sides incorporated elements of both reality and imagination according to the mapmaker's context.
Zagar-Diversity Management
This document provides an outline for a presentation on diversity management and reconciliation in the Balkans. It discusses key concepts like pluralism, diversity, integration and reconciliation. It notes that diverse societies will inherently have tensions and conflicts due to differing interests. Successful diversity management requires recognizing diversity, managing conflicts democratically, and preventing future crises. Reconciliation is a complex process of accepting the past that can establish responsibility and cooperation, but has not truly occurred in the Balkans due to lack of political will.
2009 Tomic Koludrovic And Petric Croatia Transition
The document discusses building up polities in post-transitional societies using Croatia as a case study. It notes that polities in the Balkan region are often described as "destroyed" or "weak" due to historical and current factors. Croatia experienced accelerated transitions from nation-building in the 1990s to projected EU integration by 2011. This rapid change has led to social and cultural lags as well as unexpected outcomes like conflicting value systems. The document argues that building strong polities requires policies to strengthen political institutions, civil society, and social cohesion in Croatia.
2009 Uzelac Croatia Legal Reform
Judicial reform in Croatia has had mixed results. While some objectives of reform plans have been achieved, such as establishing a Judicial Academy, the impact has been limited and perceptions of corruption remain high. Structural issues include an overabundance of courts, uneven caseloads, and judges performing administrative tasks. Objective indicators show Croatia has fewer lawyers, judges, and legal professionals per capita than European averages. EU accession facilitated some reforms but also led to a focus on appearances over tangible results. Comprehensive and neutral monitoring is needed to further meaningful reform.
2009 Cvitanovic Balkan Soundscapes
This document analyzes how popular music in the Balkans constructs regional identities through references to places, culture, and history. It examines 75 songs from the period of 1912-1999 and finds that they discuss Balkan wars, portray stereotypical masculine and feminine identities, and use vulgar language. Some songs embrace and celebrate Balkan stereotypes as a form of resistance. The analysis suggests that Balkan music both evokes and creates a sense of regional identity, often in relation or opposition to ideas of Europe.
2009 Deegan Krause Cleavages
The document discusses different ways that differences can manifest and divide societies, including ascriptive, attitudinal, behavioral, positional, and census divides. It also discusses how some differences become full cleavages that structure political systems, outlining frameworks for analyzing cleavages based on their groupness, values, structure, participation, persistence, and politicization over time.
2009 Deegan Krause United States
The document discusses different types of divisions and cleavages in American society, including ascriptive differences based on demographics, attitudinal differences based on beliefs, and behavioral differences based on political participation. It analyzes how Americans can be divided along dimensions of culture, socioeconomic status, religion, race, education and other attributes, and how these divisions have manifested politically through different voting behaviors and party alignments over time.
2009 Fleury Badinter
The document summarizes the findings of the Conference on Yugoslavia Arbitration Commission formed in 1991 to make non-binding decisions on legal issues related to the breakup of Yugoslavia. The Commission concluded that Yugoslavia was dissolving due to the inability of the federal government to maintain control without force. It avoided determining questions of self-determination and territorial integrity, instead invoking the principle of uti possidetis juris to establish republics' borders and deny Serbia's claims regarding Serb populations outside its borders. However, the Dayton Accords later ignored uti possidetis juris by allowing the Republika Srpska entity despite the commission's ruling.
2009 Kuti Migrants Transnationalism
This document discusses different types and forms of political transnationalism among migrants. It defines political transnationalism as various direct or indirect cross-border political activities and participation in home and host countries. The document reviews research on determinants of migrants' political transnationalism and proposes typologies to categorize different forms of narrow vs broad, core vs expanded, and home vs host country-focused political transnational practices.
2009 Spasojevic Serbia
The document discusses social cleavages in Serbian society from 2000-2007 based on Lipset and Rokkan's theory of cleavage formation. It identifies several cleavages that emerged in Serbia during this period, including ancient regime vs. new regime, traditionalism vs. modernism, and transitional losers vs. winners. These cleavages reinforced divisions in Serbian society and posed challenges for democratic consolidation by hindering consensus-building across divided groups. The document also examines how events like the Kosovo independence movement could impact Serbia's cleavages and prospects for democracy in the short and long term.
2009 Trajkov Social Capital
1) The document discusses theories of path dependence, social capital, and civil society and how they relate to Croatia.
2) It hypothesizes that while these theories can help explain behavior, they may exhibit circular properties with each other and have the potential to be detrimental in Croatia due to "lock-in" effects.
3) Test results on Croatia did not support theories that higher social capital and civil society necessarily lead to better governance, and instead indicated that tradition could delay modernization and democratic reforms.
Bozic
The document discusses the concept of social space and how it relates to divided societies. It makes three key points:
1. Bourdieu conceptualized social space as a multidimensional space defined by differentiating attributes that give actors power based on their relative positions. These attributes form different types of capital.
2. Divisions within a social space can be seen by looking at the distances between groups of actors, a lack of intermediate positions, and perceived distances between groups that cannot be explained by their capital composition alone.
3. The concept of social space has expanded to include transnational social spaces that are not bound by physical territory but rather defined by social networks and positions that span nation-states. Trans

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
