The social responsibility of tobacco production in Nayarit. Who pays the price?

Dagoberto De Dios Hernández Jesús Antonio Madera Pacheco (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

In Nayarit, Mexico, there is an Integrated System of Tobacco Production (SIPT) which operates mainly with the participation of campesino families. However, for some preparatory work and to guarantee the harvest, local jornaleros and indigenous migrant families from the mountainous regions of Nayarit, Jalisco, Durango, and Zacatecas are hired, manly on a temporarily basis. They live for several months in precarious conditions in the houses and yards of the growers and on the agricultural plots. Since the Marco’s Convention and the General Law on Tobacco Control, the companies that control the SIPT have adopted new narratives and strategies for managing and sustaining their businesses, mainly emphasizing the so-called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The objective of this article is to analyze the CSR actions of the tobacco companies from an approach of accumulation by dispossession, understanding CSR as a capitalist tool for the extraction of surplus value. With the support of a qualitative methodology, based on bibliographic and hemerographic review, direct observation, field diaries and interviews, also corporate actions comprised between 2018 and 2023 have also been documented. British American Tobacco and Tabacos del Pacífico Norte have "sponsored" the operation of the Florece centers and the Sustenta program in the tobacco fields of Nayarit, even though, in the tobacco reality of the tobacco industry the operation of such programs and their costs are assumed and absorbed by the growers, while the companies disseminate an image of sustainable business management.

Control biológico de plantas acuáticas exóticas invasoras

MARICELA MARTINEZ JIMENEZ (2014, [Capítulo de libro])

Las plantas acuáticas exóticas invasoras son la principal causa de grandes pérdidas de agua en todos los cuerpos de agua de México y del mundo. Los métodos de control que se han utilizado hasta hoy, además de no haber resuelto el problema, han contribuido al deterioro ambiental. El presente escrito describe el impacto económico y social de estas especies y plantea una metodología que puede asegurar un control eficaz y sustentable.

Gender parity and socioeconomic representation in subnational legislatures in Mexico: more equitable congresses?

Fernando Patron Katya Rodríguez Gómez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The article analyzes if gender parity in subnational legislatures in México has produced a more equitable social representation. It explores the plurality of gender parity in terms of socioeconomic differences, and female and male representation. Using data from Censo de Poderes legislativos Estatales 2020, the article classifies subnational legislators by socioeconomic levels and compared with CONEVAL’s methodology of social stratification in Mexico. The tested hypothesis is that gender parity has not produced a favorable impact on a more equitable political representation in socioeconomic terms so far. Female and male political representation continues to be dominated by upper socioeconomic levels.

"Gran concierto vocal, instrumental y de orfeonismo para la noche de este viernes" : la Sociedad Filarmónica Mexicana como promotora de conciertos, Ciudad de México, 1866-1877

Berenice Ramírez Lago (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

"La practica de hacer música en privado y de reunirse en el salón para escuchar música y para conversar ya estaba establecida desde finales del periodo novohispano. No obstante, durante el siglo XIX la práctica del salón conoció un auge sin precedentes, debido a la expansión de la producción de impresos musicales como partituras, libretos de ópera y revistas especializadas en música a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y de la importación y el consumo de instrumentos musicales, en especial del piano."

La política pública contra la sequía en México: avances, necesidades y perspectivas

Felipe Arreguin Mario Lopez Perez DAVID ORTEGA GAUCIN OSCAR FIDENCIO IBAÑEZ HERNANDEZ (2016, [Artículo])

Se presentan las acciones que se generaron a partir de la sequía del periodo 2010-2012 en México, la cual fue el detonador para un cambio en la manera de atender este fenómeno, al pasar de la reacción frente a las emergencias hacia un modelo preventivo orientado a la gestión del riesgo. En ese contexto se formuló una política pública nacional al respecto, donde el Programa Nacional contra la Sequía se constituyó en el eje rector. Los fundamentos de este programa —prevención y mitigación— constituyen las bases sobre las cuales se busca mejorar la gestión versus las sequías y fortalecer las capacidades locales para afrontar sus impactos con estrategias adecuadas. Se discuten algunas líneas de acción emprendidas en esta política pública, y se señalan varios elementos que aún no se han implementado o es incipiente su realización.

Sequía y cambio climático en México

ISRAEL VELASCO VELASCO (2012, [Libro])

La caracterización de la sequía con base en el comportamiento temporal y espacial de la lluvia, confirma la complejidad del fenómeno y su cualidad de "evento raro", en el sentido de que es poco modelable, impredecible, inevitable, progresivo e ineludible. Sus daños potenciales en el sector primario, la agricultura, superan con mucho los de todos los demás fenómenos naturales juntos. Con los valores meteorológicos de lluvia histórica estimada para una malla de 0.5x0.5º para todo el país, se obtuvieron los mapas de isoyetas medias y para años selectos permiten detectar y evaluar las características básicas del fenómeno: duración, intensidad, severidad y extensión.

The national drought policy in Mexico

Felipe Ignacio Arreguín Cortés Mario Lopez Perez David Ortega Gaucin (2016, [Artículo])

Traditionally, drought effects in Mexico have been attended through governmental reactive efforts directed to provide water and food, to assure health protection, and to restore economic impact once the phenomena occurred. The Mexican Government through National Water Commission (CONAGUA, for its acronym in Spanish), interested in changing the paradigm for preventive actions to cope with droughts in Mexico in the past, decided to launch in 2013 the National Program Against Drought (PRONACOSE, for its acronym in Spanish) and created the Intersecretarial Commission on Droughts and Floods (CIASI, for its acronym in Spanish) to take charge of coordinating, implementing and following-up of the PRONACOSE. This program has its main focus on reducing vulnerability through the implementation of planned preventive actions under a comprehensive and participative approach. As key part of the program, Programmes of Preventive and Mitigation Drought Measures (PMPMS, for its acronym in Spanish) for each one of the 26 river basin councils established in the country and for the principal cities of Mexico were developed. These programmes include the measures that can be implemented within the river basin councils and the cities to cope with drought in three ways: before the phenomenon occurs (strategic measures), when it is starting (tactical measures) or when it is already happening (emergency measures). Also, since 2014, the National Meteorological Service (SMN, for its acronym in Spanish) releases timely alerts and monitors the evolution of the drought including affected areas and level of severity of the phenomenon at a basin, state and municipality level. It is noteworthy that in all these activities the Mexican Institute of Water Technology (IMTA, for its acronym in Spanish) has played an important role, as this institute has provided the necessary technical support for the designing and implementation of the PRONACOSE. It is concluded that drought risk cannot be fully eliminated, nevertheless the actions that are implemented as part of this program are useful to mitigate its effects.
