“…These industries require chlorine as essential feedstock for chemical manufacturing (e.g., vinyl chloride) and emit significant amounts of chlorinated (Millet et al 2009) and sulfur-containing compounds that can be incorporated into rain and fog and redeposited to downwind ecosystems (Ba´ez et al 1997, Raja et al 2005. Growing demand for electricity (Cancino-Solo´rzano et al 2010) and reactivation of Mexico's petrochemical sector (Laguna 2004) suggest that atmospheric inputs from these regional sources will continue to increase in the near future.…”

In tropical regions, the effects of land-cover change on nutrient and pollutant inputs to ecosystems remain poorly documented and may be pronounced, especially in montane areas exposed to elevated atmospheric deposition. We examined atmospheric deposition and canopy interactions of sulfate-sulfur (SO4(2-)-S), chloride (Cl-), and nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3-)-N) in three extensive tropical montane land-cover types: clearings, forest, and coffee agroforest. Bulk and fog deposition to clearings was measured as well as throughfall (water that falls through plant canopies) ion fluxes in seven forest and five coffee sites. Sampling was conducted from 2005 to 2008 across two regions in the Sierra Madre Oriental, Veracruz, Mexico. Annual throughfall fluxes to forest and coffee sites ranged over 6-27 kg SO4(2-)-S/ha, 12-69 kg Cl-/ha, and 2-6 kg NO(3-)-N/ha. Sulfate-S in forest and coffee throughfall was higher or similar to bulk S deposition measured in clearings. Throughfall Cl- inputs, however, were consistently higher than Cl- amounts deposited to cleared areas, with net Cl- fluxes enhanced in evergreen coffee relative to semi-deciduous forest plots. Compared to bulk nitrate-N deposition, forest and coffee canopies retained 1-4 kg NO(3-)-N/ha annually, reducing NO(3-)-N inputs to soils. Overall, throughfall fluxes were similar to values reported for Neotropical sites influenced by anthropogenic emissions, while bulk S and N deposition were nine- and eightfold greater, respectively, than background wet deposition rates for remote tropical areas. Our results demonstrate that land-cover type significantly alters the magnitude and spatial distribution of atmospheric inputs to tropical ecosystems, primarily through canopy-induced changes in fog and dry deposition. However, we found that land cover interacts with topography and climate in significant ways to produce spatially heterogeneous patterns of anion fluxes, and that these factors can converge to create deposition hotspots. For land managers, this finding suggests that there is potential to identify species and ecosystems at risk of excess and increasing deposition in montane watersheds undergoing rapid transformation. Our data further indicate that montane ecosystems are vulnerable to air pollution impacts in this and similar tropical regions downwind of urban, industrial, and agricultural emission sources.

“…Por ejemplo, en cuanto a la instalación de plantas, Demeter y Szász (2014) afirmaron que estas pueden basarse en ventajas comparativas basadas en la localización, tales como mercados, oportunidades de producción de bajo costo o acceso a habilidades y conocimientos. De igual forma, Laguna (2004) relacionó el factor de localización, como determinante en el desarrollo de ventajas comparativas de las multinacionales, para el caso del sector del petróleo en México.…”

Resumen: Este artículo presenta tendencias generales de investigación de relacionamiento económico y negocios internacionales, a partir de la revisión de la literatura científica. En consecuencia, el objetivo consistió en examinar las trayectorias temáticas a partir de las publicaciones científicas que circulan en Scopus. Como método se utilizaron técnicas de minería de datos y análisis de contenido, para identificar clúster en el campo de estudio, en una ventana de observación que abarca cerca de tres décadas de publicaciones, identificando tópicos centrales y jerarquizados. El alcance de este artículo está orientado a mostrar una visión general del estado actual de producción de conocimiento que permita a los académicos e investigadores orientar futuras investigaciones en el campo de los negocios internacionales. Los seis grupos más importantes fueron: primero, procesos de expansión y estudios sobre la empresa; segundo, productividad y comportamiento de exportación; tercero, sobre relaciones laborales; cuarto acerca de la globalización; quinto, acuerdos y tratados, y sexto logística.

“…The giant Sonda de Campeche (Campeche Sound) complex in the Gulf of Mexico accounts for 51 per cent of Mexico's oil production (Pemex, 2013). Since 1992, the Mexican government has opened the energy sector to global investment, and has given foreign companies access to oil exploration and drilling under subcontracts with Pemex (Martínez Laguna, 2004). In 2003, the government imposed security restrictions on movement near Gulf of Mexico oil installations, in a Environmental Values 26.4 marine zone of exclusion measuring 15,907 km 2 established under the federal legislation 'Acuerdo Secretarial No.…”

Media representations of environmental conflicts between companies and communities play an important role in influencing ideas about the rightful exploitation of natural resources. This article examines local newspapers' representations of fishers' claims over resource access in a conflict between fishers and the oil industry in Tabasco, Mexico. Our analysis is based on articles from two newspapers dating from 2003-2004 and 2007-2012, and ethnographic data from 2011-2012. Drawing on Boltanski and Thevenot's theory of justification, discussions on patrimonial collectivities, and studies of media and social movements, we suggest that Tabascan newspapers reshape fishers' claims over resource access by portraying fisheries and oil as patrimony. Being an ambivalent vocabulary for the defence of space and locality within a conflict over natural-resource enclosure, the newspaper narratives of patrimony both invoke subaltern concerns and reconstrue state authority and local hierarchies. Furthermore, the newspaper narratives are interconnected with fisher leaders' narratives, in particular, while misrepresenting different fisher groups' arguments, and thereby contribute to political division among the fishers as a whole.
