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.

Cess lesson 2 sociological perspective
This document discusses definitions of community from various perspectives. It provides definitions from sociologists like Hillery who identified 94 definitions, and Sjoberg who defined community as a collectivity sharing a limited territorial area. It also discusses four perspectives on defining community: systems perspective seeing it as interconnected parts; social perspective focusing on social networks; virtual perspective regarding online communities; and individual perspective regarding personal sense of belonging. Criteria for defining communities as groups include interaction, shared goals, norms, roles, and interpersonal relationships. Rural communities are also defined as small, non-metropolitan, and rural in character.
Performance & the politics of representation
This document discusses several sociological theories related to structure and agency. It begins by defining structure as institutions that influence opportunities, and agency as individuals' capacity for independent action and choice. It then discusses Anthony Giddens' structuration theory, which views structure and agency as engaged in an evolving dialectic where neither can be analyzed separately. Next, it outlines Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice, where habitus forms through negotiating one's social field. It also discusses theories of dramaturgy, articulation, and Stuart Hall's theory of representation.

Different Perspective on Community
This document discusses different perspectives on communities. It outlines the social science, sectoral, civil society, and community-based perspectives. The social science perspective views a community as people unified by common characteristics like geography, interests, values or traditions. The sectoral perspective sees communities as systems comprised of diverse individuals and sectors. The civil society perspective generally defines communities as non-governmental organizations that work to address social issues. The community-based perspective considers communities as settings for intervention, targets for change, resources, and agents.
Society as a group of people sharing common culture
This document defines society and outlines the key elements and characteristics of different types of societies. It begins by defining society as a group of people sharing a common culture within territorial boundaries. It then lists the significance of studying society, including how it represents identity, characterizes territory, and enables economic interdependence. The document proceeds to identify nine elements that comprise societies, such as mutual interaction and interdependence among individuals. It concludes by describing three major types of societies - tribal, agrarian, and industrial - and highlighting their distinguishing features.
To Govern Artfully. Linking contemporary public art to political participation
This document summarizes research on participatory public art and urban governance. The research involved interviewing 10 artists and analyzing 85 art projects in Italy. Key findings include:
1) Most projects occurred in the last 4 years and focused on environmental and "subpolitical" issues. Artists worked in collectives to foster social and political change through individual participation.
2) Projects primarily used consultation, deliberation, and mobilization models of citizen engagement. Case studies in Rome and Sassari effectively transformed cities and engaged performative audiences.
3) Most projects received public funding, with differing views among artists on the benefits and risks of this. The research aims to further explore relationships between participatory art and urban governance through
The production of space hi
1. Lefebvre argues that there are different levels of space, from natural to social space, and that social space is a social product.
2. Every society produces its own social space, and the production of urban space is fundamental to reproducing society and social control.
3. Lefebvre develops a "spatial triad" of perceived, conceived, and lived spaces to analyze the production of social space.
Durant Christine on Lefebvre Education and the Production of Space
This document discusses Henri Lefebvre's work as an educational theorist and how his theory of space relates to adult education. It summarizes Lefebvre's view that spaces produce social relationships and learning occurs through appropriating and claiming spaces. Lefebvre calls for radical social transformation through creating non-capitalist spaces that foster critical knowledge, democratic participation, and social movements. The document uses examples from Berlin to illustrate how spaces are produced and how inhabitants strategize to claim spaces and develop critical consciousness against gentrification and neoliberal impacts.

Bourdieu
This document provides a summary of Pierre Bourdieu's essay "The Force of Law: Toward a Sociology of the Juridical Field". It discusses Bourdieu's conception of a "field" as a socially patterned area of activity like the legal profession. Bourdieu argues that the juridical field has its own internal organization, protocols, and culture that influence legal decisions, in addition to external political and social forces. The summary discusses how Bourdieu analyzes the linguistic and symbolic strategies used within the juridical field to establish legitimacy and impose internal norms. It also briefly outlines Bourdieu's view of the determining power of habitus - learned structures of behavior - within the juridical field
Introduction to theory of regionalism
This document discusses regional planning concepts including regionalism, critical regionalism, and theories of regional planning. It defines regionalism as developing a sense of regional identity based on local culture and environment. Critical regionalism balances local character with modern influences. Theories of regional planning consider regions as administrative units and examine types like physical, cultural, economic, and political regions. Regionalization divides national space into manageable regional units for various goals while debates consider regions as bounded territories or relational networks.
Introduction of community
The document defines community and identifies its key characteristics. A community is a group of people linked by social ties who share common perspectives and engage in joint actions within a geographical location. It has several defining features: it consists of a group of people living within a definite locality; the members have a strong sense of belonging and sentiment toward one another; and the community forms naturally rather than by government mandate. The document also outlines factors such as permanence, similarity, and total organization of social life among community members.
Cesc12 q1 m1_the_importance_of_studying_community
This document discusses the importance of understanding community dynamics and action in relation to applied social sciences. It explains that to properly engage with a community, one must first seek to understand its context, realities, strengths, challenges, rules, norms, and attitudes by immersing oneself in the community. Gaining this understanding provides benefits like establishing benchmark data, informing project planning and design, facilitating partnership building, and making project implementation less complicated. The dynamics of a community are shaped by its nature, structure, and interactions both internal and external.
Lefebvre
The document discusses sociologist Henri Lefebvre's critique of modern capitalist society and everyday life. It argues that everyday life has become routinized and alienating under consumerism and bureaucratic control. Needs are artificially created and manipulated to fuel constant consumption. Lefebvre calls for "revolutionizing" everyday life by making it a space for creative self-expression rather than imposed roles and transforming quotidian practices through resistance against mediatized influence.
Regionalism
This document discusses the concepts of region and regionalism in geography. It defines region as an area with homogeneity of physical and cultural phenomena. Regionalism seeks to politicize territorial identities and interests and aims for more local autonomy. The document then discusses principles of classification that can be applied to regionalization, such as having a clear purpose, accounting for differences between objects being classified, allowing for changes over time, basing classifications on object properties, having exhaustive and mutually exclusive classes, and using a consistent principle of division. Regionalism may be useful for research to understand territorial strong biases and predict regional behavior.

Community Engagement Part4
The document discusses community action and engagement. It defines key concepts like resilience, vigilance, and accountability. It outlines a 5-point community initiative model of engagement, planning, implementation, development, and sustainability. The purposes of community action are described as addressing issues facing marginalized groups, and involving youth. Competencies around solidarity and contribution to community development are also presented.

Beyond Urban Subcultures
This document discusses how urban subcultures form in three sentences:
Urban landscapes have become more homogenized under neoliberalism, yet still allow for the formation of subcultures through a two-stage process of othering and marginalization of unique practices, allowing them to build communities and identities. These urban subversions are better understood not as static groups but as "rhizomic social formations" that are constantly becoming through creativity rather than being fixed identities.

Community Engagement Part 1
This document discusses the importance of understanding community dynamics and community-action initiatives. It emphasizes examining contemporary community life and how applied social sciences can be integrated into community-based initiatives for the common good of the community. Students are asked to describe their own community, identify problems within it, and envision their ideal community. The document stresses that studying group dynamics and community actions is important for students' future careers and understanding how changes in a community can affect their career choices.
Chicago school te 2
The Chicago School focused on understanding individuals and their interactions within urban environments through two main approaches: symbolic interactionism and urban ecology. Researchers used ethnographic methods like observation and interviews to study how people adapted to and competed over resources in cities. They mapped urban areas and analyzed how social groups were stratified. While insightful, the Chicago School had some limitations like overstating nature over nurture and producing theories not always applicable beyond North America. Overall, it created an empirical foundation for sociological research through localized, mixed methods studies of everyday urban life.
Designing citizens
This document discusses the relationship between architecture, urban space, and subjectivity in ancient Greece and modernity. It summarizes key thinkers who analyzed this relationship such as Baudelaire, Benjamin, Heidegger, Arendt, Bachelard, Foucault, Debord, and Lefebvre. It discusses how classical Greek cities like Athens used spaces like the agora, oikos, and ekklesia to define citizenship and political participation. It also analyzes how philosophy became institutionalized after Socrates' execution, removing it from public spaces of debate.
Types of Communities
This document discusses and provides examples of different types of communities. It identifies 7 main types: formal communities like religious groups; informal communities based on shared interests; urban communities characterized by large populations and technology; rural communities focused on subsistence; global communities with shared views on issues; sectoral communities in nonprofit areas; and social space communities in physical or online gathering places. Formal communities engage in joint activities while informal ones rely on social networks. Urban areas have many institutions and technology versus close-knit rural communities.
The chicago school te
The Chicago School was a major early influence in urban sociology based at the University of Chicago in the interwar years. Key figures included Albion Small, William Thomas, Robert Park, Ernest Burgess, and Louis Wirth. They studied urban communities and neighborhoods using methods like ethnography and spatial analysis. They developed important concepts like urban ecology and the concentric zone model to understand how cities develop spatially and socially. The Chicago School helped establish urban sociology as a distinct field and influenced many later theorists.

This document outlines a presentation discussing how school libraries can serve as social spaces for students to create, collaborate, and share using social media. It begins with defining social spaces and the concept of the "third place," then discusses how libraries can provide personal and learning spaces. The presentation explores how social media allows the library to become a new social space where students can collaborate on wikis and social networks, create content like blogs and videos, and share stories, experiences, and resources. Case studies provide analytics on library blogs, Facebook pages, and Twitter accounts that demonstrate student engagement with these social media platforms. The conclusion advocates for school libraries to embrace social media and serve as "third places" that support collaborative, creative, and shared knowledge-

Social groups and types
This document defines and describes different types of social groups. It begins by defining a social group as two or more individuals who interact and influence each other. The main types of groups discussed are in-groups and out-groups, primary and secondary groups, quasi groups, gemeinschaft and gesellschaft, and reference groups. In-groups are those individuals identify with, while out-groups are those they do not identify with. Primary groups involve close personal relationships, while secondary groups are more impersonal. Quasi groups lack structure and awareness. Gemeinschaft describes close-knit communities, while gesellschaft describes more impersonal societies. Reference groups are those individuals compare themselves to.
Primary and secondary groups
The document discusses primary and secondary groups. Primary groups are small groups made up of people who have close emotional ties and know each other well. They provide emotional support, socialization, and encourage conformity to group norms. Secondary groups focus on accomplishing a shared task or goal and have impersonal relationships among members who interact only regarding the group's purpose.
Social groups
Social groups consist of people who share a common identity and goals. Social organizations are highly structured groups that perform complex tasks to achieve goals efficiently. There are different types of social groups including primary groups based on intimate relationships and secondary groups based on more impersonal ties. Formal organizations use rules, hierarchies, and procedures while informal groups provide relaxation and social well-being. Bureaucracies are large, formal organizations with division of labor, hierarchies of authority, written rules, impersonal relationships, and employment based on technical qualifications.
Types Of Social Groups Powerpoint
A social group is formed when two or more people are aware of each other's presence. There are different types of social groups including transitory groups, recurrent groups, formal groups, and informal groups. Groups can also be primary groups, which involve strong emotional attachment between members, or secondary groups, which focus more on the purpose of the group than interpersonal relationships.

Sociology can be defined from three perspectives: historically as the study of society and social relationships, contemporarily as the scientific study of social life, institutions, and social change, and by delineating its subject matter from other social sciences. Urban sociology specifically studies human interaction and social life in urban communities, which tend to have weaker social ties, greater specialization of labor, and more heterogeneity compared to rural settings. Learning sociology provides an understanding of society, social problems, institutions, and cultural values to effectively plan communities and address societal issues. It also enables the integration of sociological knowledge and values into professional practice and personal life.

Unit 5 Constructing Social Reality through Discourse
This document provides an overview of key concepts in discourse analysis. It defines discourse as socially constructed knowledge that represents aspects of reality through language. Discourses are finite sets of ideas that get expressed through different texts. They have histories, social distributions, and can be realized through actions or representations. The document outlines the "anatomy" of a discourse, including the actions, manner, actors, presentation, resources, times, and spaces that make up social practices. It also discusses how realities get transformed and constructed through discourses via processes of exclusion, rearrangement, addition, and substitution. The goal of discourse analysis is to understand how language shapes human experiences and mediates the construction of social realities.
Social semiotics
This document discusses social semiotics as an analytical perspective for understanding everyday objects and their meanings. It explains key concepts in social semiotics, comparing it to structural semiotics. Social semiotics examines how people use signs and make meaning in social contexts, focusing on situated practices rather than abstract structures. It explores dimensions of social semiotic analysis like discourse, genre, style and modality. Research in this area looks at semiotic resources, rules, and transformations over time and across contexts.

Community in different perspectives
A community can be understood from different perspectives. It is a sociological construct that has fuzzy boundaries and can exist within a larger community. A community consists of individuals with many differences that can cause divisions and conflicts. These differences include factors like religion, ethnicity, gender, class, education and more. From a social science perspective, communities have been conceptualized as ideal political units or analyzed in terms of the roles of institutions in maintaining social order. Communities can also be understood from an institutional perspective in terms of the social institutions that arise from shared agreements and shape collective behaviors and functions.

The structure of a society is a set of relatively interconnected and in constant motion various elements: social communities and ethnic groups, social institutions, social statuses, and relations.
Concept and Structure Elements
Having familiarized ourselves with the peculiarities of modern communities and the people who participate in them, we can come to an understanding of larger structures, namely, modern societies. At the same time, we can also understand the reasons for the complexity and uncertainty of many structures, systems, and institutions that arise and operate in modern social groups as we may read at
https://artscolumbia.org/free-essays/society/
where there are many essay examples that look into the topic from a different point of view. These papers help to understand the topic deeply.
Sociology defines society as a historically established set of relations, systems, and institutions, functioning in a certain territory.
Thus, society consists of:
★ from a multitude of individuals, citizens, united at the place of residence (cities, towns, villages), at the place of work (enterprises, government agencies), at the place of study (school, institute, university);
★ a multitude of social positions, or statuses that people occupy, as well as social functions (citizens, leaders, deputies of different levels, figures of political and public organizations);
★ a variety of different norms and values that determine, to one degree or another, the features and content of the activities of people, social institutions, and systems.
From the above definition, it is clear that society has a very complex structure, and all its elements are in a state of continuous and indefinite movement.
At the same time, society is a relatively holistic (although not free from contradictions) organism. It consists of many people, but it is not a simple sum of people. A social group is a large entity characterized by stable forms of interaction and interdependence of its constituent parts - people, social institutions, social communities (groups), and norms. In this sense, the concept of society can be considered the same as the concept of the state.
Social structure is a network of stable and ordered connections between elements of the social system, conditioned by the relations between classes and other groups, the division of labor, and the nature of institutions. Distinguish between the social structure as a whole, covering the totality of all social relations, and the structure of individual subsystems and spheres of a given state - production, politics, science, culture, etc.
Basic Elements of Society
Sometimes, speaking about the structure of this concept, sociologists mean only one side: either institutions, or government bodies, or communities, etc. Such a limited view of society does not make it possible to understand its real complexity and predict its further development.
Society is characterized by a relative unity o.
ANGEL F. GALLENERO.pptx
This document discusses the key elements and dynamics of communities from a sociological perspective. It describes how communities have complex social structures made up of people in different social statuses, roles, and groups that interact in networks. It outlines several theoretical perspectives on communities, including functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. It also discusses important societal dynamics within communities like social exchange, competition, cooperation, and social change. The document provides this information to serve as a framework for analyzing how news articles may reflect or influence elements of local communities.
Community participation
The document discusses the role of social animators in promoting social change and development in communities. It explains that communities have interconnecting cultural dimensions, including technological, economic, political, institutional, aesthetic, and conceptual dimensions. The social animator acts as a social change agent and must understand how these cultural dimensions interconnect in order to effectively introduce new ideas or technologies without disrupting the community. The animator should see the community as a superorganic system and consider how changes in one cultural dimension will impact other dimensions.

Core human potentialities or forces described in Chapter 1: consciousness and conscious will, a sense of self and personal identity and, vision and hope, have been in synergy – arising with - what will be described as our ‘cognitive (social) structures and potentialities’, those structures and potentialities which foster the creation of potentially rich individual and social realities; hence, the reference to ‘cognitive’ structures and potentialities – those bringing about our ‘human’ world -, but equally, to social structures and potentialities - those bringing about our ‘social’ world -.
Elements of the Community
This document discusses the key elements and structures that compose communities from a sociological perspective. It addresses societal structures like social status, roles, and theoretical frameworks like functionalism, Marxism, and symbolic interactionism. It also outlines societal dynamics and processes such as social exchange, competition/conflict, and cooperation/accommodation. Finally, it provides an activity for students to analyze how a news article reflects elements of community and how it may impact or change the community.
What is community
The document discusses the concept of community. It defines community as a place where people come together to share common interests and resources. It outlines several characteristics of a community, including that communities have roles/goals, institutions that define interactions, boundaries, members who share ownership, communication, skills/resources to meet member needs, and teams/groups. It also discusses the rights and responsibilities of communities and characteristics of dysfunctional communities that do not demonstrate these traits.
Social mapping.pptx ctse kg. sungai latoh
Social mapping uses ethnography, social network analysis, and focus group discussions to understand community behaviors, relationships, and problems. Ethnography involves observing daily life to understand traditions. Social network analysis maps relationships between stakeholders to identify influential individuals and power structures. Focus group discussions bring together influential community members to discuss and get historical perspectives on problems and how the community solves them. Together these methods provide insights into social conditions, linkages, and issues within a community.
Intro to sociolinguistics
Sociolinguistics is the study of how language is influenced by social and cultural factors. It examines how language varies across social groups and contexts, as well as how factors like social class, gender, ethnicity, and power dynamics shape language use and norms. The key terms introduced in the document include concepts like linguistic variation, identity, power, solidarity, competence versus performance, and descriptive versus prescriptive approaches to language. Sociolinguistics encompasses both micro-level analysis of language patterns and macro-level analysis of broader social and political impacts of language.
Community defined
A community is a social system with spatial and temporal aspects that involves relationships between individuals. It includes people, shared culture, and interdependence. A community is defined as a concentration of individuals in a physical location that share characteristics, customs, and work to meet common needs. Researchers study communities using different theoretical approaches including viewing the community as a place to live (qualitative), a spatial unit (ecological), a way of life (ethnological), or an arena for social interaction (sociological).
021
This document provides a formal definition of culture. It begins with an introduction that discusses how culture has been defined in anthropology and how the concept of culture is relevant to modeling agent societies and online communities. It then presents a formal definition of culture as a set of traits shared by a set of agents that were transmitted between agents. The formal definition models agents, their cultural traits, and how traits can change as agents perform behaviors that change the state of the world. An example is provided to illustrate the concepts.
Beyond participation - designers taking on a new role
This document discusses the role of designers and spatial professionals in supporting social movements advocating for the "right to the city". It suggests that designers could operate as "organic intellectuals" by using their specialized spatial knowledge and skills to help social movements develop a spatial program and tools to strengthen their position in urban policy debates. The document also provides some international examples of "design activism" and ways that data collection methods can be designed to engage communities and stimulate reflection on urban space in a creative, non-conventional manner.

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.
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.
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 Mameli Ethnopolitical Dynamics
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.
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.

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.
