Primeramente, este trabajo de tesis nos sitúa en un contexto internacional definido como la era de la globalización. En este contexto se cuestiona la viabilidad de implementar la autodeterminación en los pueblos indígenas quienes siguen siendo expuestos a situaciones de marginación y pobreza extrema. La globalización juega un papel importante en esta problemática ya que representa riesgos para la diversidad cultural pero al mismo tiempo ofrece herramientas y situaciones de diálogo que han abierto un nuevo espacio en las relaciones internacionales para los pueblos indígenas y la comunidad internacional. La hipótesis de este trabajo sostiene que la globalización ha intensificado la búsqueda de las sociedades indígenas para ser respetados en su diversidad cultural y así consolidar el principio de autodeterminación. Por otro lado se consideran a los derechos humanos como un instrumento fundamental en la defensa de los derechos indígenas, donde invariablemente se incluye el derecho a la autodeterminación. En esta materia se debate sobre las contradicciones entre los derechos humanos y los usos y costumbres de los pueblos indígenas. Finalmente se presentan los casos canadiense y mexicano como caso de estudio en materia indígena. Ambas naciones son consideradas pluriculturales y han enfrentado con el paso del tiempo las demandas indígenas. Cada nación ha tenido diferentes formas de abordar esta problemática por lo que es interesante estudiar los avances y retrocesos que tiene cada una en la cuestión. Este trabajo concluye que la globalización no es una nueva causa de marginación, lo que es nuevo es la resistencia a esa marginación. La globalización crea una audiencia con potencial para mostrarse intolerante a la situación que enfrentan las comunidades indígenas. Además, presenciamos un aumento en las redes de interdependencia donde el bienestar de un sector depende del bienestar de otros sectores. En este sentido consolidar un beneficio para los pueblos indígenas nos benef.

In a global market where international teams, initiatives, and joint ventures are increasingly common, it is extremely important for people to integrate themselves in new cultures. Strategies for selecting and training people on global perspectives are critical for managing business. In this book, the authors develop the idea of cultural intelligence and examine its three essential facets: cognition, the ability to develop patterns from cultural cues; motivation, the desire and ability to engage others; and behavior, the capability to act in accordance with cognition and motivation. They explore the fundamental nature of cultural intelligence and its relationship to other frameworks of intelligence.-Back cover.

In Missed Opportunities, Marc Raboy reveals the short-sightedness behind the traditional view of Canadian broadcasting policy as an instrument for promoting a national identity and culture. He argues that Canadian broadcasting policy has served as a political instrument for reinforcing a certain image of Canada against insurgent challenges, such as maintaining the image of Canada as a political entity distinct from the United States and acting against internal threats, most notably from Quebec. It has served as a vehicle for the development of private broadcasting industries and to further the general interests of the Canadian state. Most of the time, Raboy maintains, this policy has been the object of vigorous public dispute.

The world is changing and the way human interact is too. Our cultural identity is no longer limited by the geographical area in which we live but by our access to broadband. POWER POP explores the role of pop culture in the construction of a global society through state mechanisms such as cultural diplomacy and management of international relations. To do this, it enters the world of Kpop and Anime in Peru, their history and development in the local market, and how South Korea and Japan have taken advantage of their great success to improve their own image worldwide.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Is popular culture merely a process of creating, marketing, and consuming a final product, or is it an expression of the artist's surroundings and an attempt to alter them? Noted Argentine/Mexican anthropologist Néstor García Canclini addresses these questions and more in Transforming Modernity, a translation of Las culturas populares en el capitalismo. Based on fieldwork among the Purépecha of Michoacán, Mexico, some of the most talented artisans of the New World, the book is not so much a work of ethnography as of philosophy—a cultural critique of modernism. García Canclini delineates three interpretations of popular culture: spontaneous creation, which posits that artistic expression is the realization of beauty and knowledge; "memory for sale," which holds that original products are created for sale in the imposed capitalist system; and the tourist outlook, whereby collectibles are created to justify development and to provide insight into what capitalism has achieved. Transforming Modernity argues strongly for popular culture as an instrument of understanding, reproducing, and transforming the social system in order to elaborate and construct class hegemony and to reflect the unequal appropriation and distribution of cultural capital. With its wide scope, this book should appeal to readers within and well beyond anthropology—those interested in cultural theory, social thought, and Mesoamerican culture.

People have worried for many years about the concentration of private power over the media, as evidenced by controversy over Federal Communication Commission rulings on broadcast ownership limits. The fear, it seems, is of a media mogul with a political agenda: a new William Randolph Hearst who could help start wars or run for political office using the power of the media. In the light of these concerns about freedom of speech, Eli Noam provides a comprehensive survey of media concentration in America, covering everything from the early media empire of Benjamin Franklin to the modern-day cellular phone industry.
