En este periodo, la principal tarea y visión del desarrollo, desde el Sistema de Naciones Unidas, fue que el Estado consiguiera el crecimiento económico nacional por medio del clásico capitalismo estatal (Weiss et al, 2004). Por otra parte, durante los años cincuenta, los organismos internacionales para el desarrollo se fueron consolidando, a través del propio Sistema de Naciones Unidas, BM, FMI, la creación de bancos regionales para el desarrollo, así como de las comisiones económicas regionales de las Naciones Unidas, estableciéndose las bases de una infraestructura internacional para alcanzar el desarrollo.…”

A principios de 1962, la actividad para el desarrollo, que de manera oficial se realizaba dentro de los principales órganos de las Naciones Unidas, se enfocó de manera persistente en las desigualdades del ingreso entre los países ricos del Norte y los países pobres del Sur, es decir, entre los países desarrollados y los países en desarrollo (Weiss et al, 2004). A mediados de los años sesenta, Maira (1997) destaca que surge el Grupo de los 77, conformado por países en desarrollo que tenían demandas y problemáticas comunes dentro del seno del Sistema de Naciones Unidas, como una forma de realizar coaliciones a favor de promover sus intereses comunes.…”

Históricamente han existido distintos debates para alcanzar el desarrollo, desde diferentes ámbitos y espacios. La visión del desarrollo desde el espacio global, ha tenido una importante evolución hasta nuestros días, principalmente después de la II Guerra Mundial, a través de la Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (CID). Desde el espacio regional, los mecanismos de cooperación económica han reflejado ser dinámicos y positivos para el desarrollo. Por ello, el presente trabajo pretende en primera instancia, realizar una revisión de la evolución sobre la visión de desarrollo desde un contexto global y regional. En una segunda fase, busca analizar las aportaciones comerciales, desde una visión del desarrollo regional, por medio de un análisis comparativo de la Alianza del Pacífico (AP) con respecto a la región y a la Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI) para el periodo 2005-2014, como mecanismos de cooperación económica en América Latina y el Caribe (ALyC) que buscan un desarrollo dentro de la misma región.

“…The adequate monitoring of socio-economic indicators in the Global South is a crucial task in order to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1]. In order to eliminate poverty and reduce inequalities [2], the most reliable and informative methods to make targeted assessments at the local, national and regional levels are through exhaustive census data combined with geospatial analyses [3][4][5]. Nonetheless, census information in several developing countries are outdated, unreliable or inaccessible for the most part, making such efforts challenging, particularly for fine-scale geographical estimations (i.e., at subnational or intra-urban level) [6,7].…”

A systematic and precise understanding of urban socio-economic spatial inequalities in developing regions is needed to address global sustainability goals. At the intra-urban scale, access to detailed databases (i.e., a census) is often a difficult exercise. Geolocated surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are a rich alternative source of such information but can be challenging to interpolate at such a fine scale due to their spatial displacement, survey design and the lack of very high-resolution (VHR) predictor variables in these regions. In this paper, we employ satellite-derived VHR land-use/land-cover (LULC) datasets and couple them with the DHS Wealth Index (WI), a robust household wealth indicator, in order to provide city-scale wealth maps. We undertake several modelling approaches using a random forest regressor as the underlying algorithm and predict in several geographic administrative scales. We validate against an exhaustive census database available for the city of Dakar, Senegal. Our results show that the WI was modelled to a satisfactory degree when compared against census data even at very fine resolutions. These findings might assist local authorities and stakeholders in rigorous evidence-based decision making and facilitate the allocation of resources towards the most disadvantaged populations. Good practices for further developments are discussed with the aim of upscaling these findings at the global scale.

“…The Cold War between the then super powers -the US and the defunct USSR incapacitated and nearly crippled the UN ability to resolve armed conflicts on an enduring basis. Furthermore, over politicisation of issues at the UN (particularly by the five veto-wielding powers of the UN Security Council [UNSC]) -the US, the United Kingdom (UK), France, China and the former USSR, now represented by Russia) produced many resolutions full of overstatement rhetoric, peacekeeping (despite the fact that they are not reflected in the theoretical substructure of the UN Charter) becomes an important instrument to maintain international peace and security (Skiemann 1998: vii;Weiss et al 1997). Despite the remarkable achievements of the UN peacekeepers, in the last seven decades of the UN, a world without war still remains elusive.…”

Basic Concepts and Theories in International Peacekeeping: An Analytic Review

This paper reviewed some extense literature in peacekeeping. The review of the literature focused on two areas - concepts and theories of peacekeeping. After having discussed the three major approaches to think conceptually about peacekeeping in the literature, we argued that despite the existence of these multiple frameworks for addressing the conceptual problems of peacekeeping, they overlooked the imperative of the structures and processes of world politics, their impacts and how these have conditioned the roles of peacekeepers in it. Then, we examined four of the main theoretical approaches that are discernible in the peacekeeping literature, which offer possible frameworks for the analysis and interpretation of peacekeeping research. We argued that there is no single theory (or a metatheory) that fully explains the whole gamut of issues involved in peace operations. This is because these theoretical traditions provide different ways in which to comprehend peacekeeping. A single theory is highly unlikely to fully explain the complexities of contemporary peace operations, especially in a continent like Africa featuring different peacekeeping actors. Therefore, peacekeeping is best understood through the application of many theories in order to uncover the motives of peacekeeping authourising institutions, peacekeepers as well as the role(s) peacekeeping missions play and the interest they serve.
