Sommario/riassunto

The global financial crisis has led to a sweeping reevaluation of financial market regulation and macroeconomic policies. Emerging markets need to balance the goals of financial development and broader financial inclusion with the imperative of strengthening macroeconomic and financial stability. The third in a series on emerging markets,  New Paradigms for Financial Regulation develops new analytical frameworks and provides policy prescriptions for how the frameworks should be adapted to a world of more free and more volatile capital. This volume provides an overview of the g

Sommario/riassunto

This volume argues that using social capital to eradicate poverty is unlikely to succeed because its mainstream approach mistakenly assumes that social capital necessarily benefits poor people. The inadequacy of that assumption, Sam Wong argues, calls for a reassessment of human motivations, institutional dynamics, and the complexity of structures in social capital building. Proposing a 'pro-poor' perspective, in which poverty-specific outcomes are highlighted, he suggests an exploration of 'unseen' social capital is in order-not only to challenge the mainstream understanding of 'seen' social capital, but to demonstrate the need for everyday cooperation, which is shaped by social norms, influenced by conscious and unconscious motivations, and subject to changes in priority based on livelihood. A useful volume for both policy makers and practitioners, Exploring 'Unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation offers a fresh perspective in thinking about civic and social agency.

Sommario/riassunto

La Guía etnográfica de la alta amazonía es un proyecto editorial de largo aliento que se propone publicar monografías etnográficas referidas a los diversos pueblos indígenas de la amazonía en varios volúmenes a cargo de destacados especialistas. El presente volumen reúne monografías sobre dos pueblos indígenas de la amazonia



peruana —los Matsigenka y Yánesha— pertenecientes a la familia lingüística arahuaca. Estos pueblos pertenecen al conjunto de pueblos cuyos territorios se ubican en el piedemonte andino en la región central del Perú. Los Matsigenka habitan actualmente en una amplia región que abarca el río Urubamba y sus afluentes, las cabeceras del río Apurímac y la región de Madre de Dios. El territorio de los Yánesha abarca las cuencas de los ríos Palcazu y alto Pachitea así como los valles de Oxapampa y Villa Rica y los corredores montañosos entre éstos. Este volumen se verá complementado por otras monografías dedicadas a pueblos pertenecientes al conjunto arahuaco.  Entre los temas tratados en las monografías que componen este volumen destacan los complejos procesos históricos que no sólo han ido moldeando las fronteras étnicas de los pueblos estudiados, sino determinado su actual localización, organización social, cultura material y volumen demográfico. Si bien estos trabajos tienen enfoques y estilos distintos, y enfatizan diferentes dimensiones de la vida social de los pueblos estudiados, las mismas tienen la virtud de relievar la singularidad de cada uno de estos pueblos a la par que los elementos que tienen en común.
