Connectedness to Nature represents a growing area of interest in the latest years because it could have implications in human behavior. In addition, another type of implications studied in people have been the sounds of birds. The aim of this literature review was to analyze the state of knowledge about Connectedness to Nature and birds, as well as its link with variables related to well-being to identify gaps and directions for further research. We reviewed 41 papers published between 2011 and 2021. Papers were found in 29 journals with studies from 16 countries. Eighty-five percent of the papers used an experimental design and there is a trend of increasing publications over time. Our results show that Connectedness to Nature is linked to variables related to well-being, and the presence of birds (or their perception) contributes to explain the relationship. Therefore, more research on the subject is needed because there is evidence that contradicts some findings. Also, research is needed in different bird species, sounds, different cultures and local contexts, thus, it is necessary to study rural and urban areas. In addition, research is needed in children and teenagers who have been very little represented. Finally, it is necessary to have more information from Latin American countries as they represent the most diverse in bird species and to be able to compare with more studied regions like Europe and North America.

Summary. This article seeks to set out how social law ideas circulated at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century between Europe and America. To this end, this text shows, with some generalisations due to space issues, the German, French, Italian, Spanish, American and Latin American case to make clear how this Atlantic communication of academic ideas and social norms worked in law. Furthermore, this letter seeks to show that, although there has been an overall circulation of social ideas in the law, it cannot be forgotten how those ideas were received locally, so that one cannot be considered without the other, which this article calls the 'glocalisation' of social law. ; Resumen Este artículo busca exponer cómo circularon las ideas del derecho social a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX entre Europa y América. Para ello, este texto muestra, con algunas generalizaciones por cuestiones de espacio, el caso alemán, francés, italiano, español, estadounidense y latinoamericano, para dejar en claro cómo operó esa comunicación atlántica de ideas académicas y normas sociales en el derecho. Además, este escrito se propone demostrar que, si bien existió una circulación global de ideas sociales en el derecho, no puede perderse de vista cómo fueron recibidas esas ideas localmente, de manera tal que no puede estudiarse lo uno sin lo otro, aspecto que este artículo denomina la "glocalización" del derecho social.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there have been some contradictory trends in Central Asia: the ongoing complex process of constructing state identity and national states and their legitimization, on the one hand, and, on the other, the process of regional construction shaped by intra-regional challenges and the influence of external actors. The 'Samarkand consensus' reached in 2017 intensified the initiative of the five Central Asian states to create a regional bloc. In 2019, the European Union adopted a new strategy for Central Asia. All of the above signifies integration projects and overlapping regionalism in Central Asia. The article discusses the initiatives and the role of the European Union in the region-building of the Central Asian space.Key words: European Union, Latin-Caribbean America, European interregionalism, MERCOSUR, UNASUR, Andean Community, San Jose Group, Rio Group, ALBA, CELAC. ; После распада Советского Союза в Центрально-Азиатском регионе наблюдаются противоречивые тенденции. С одной стороны, продолжается сложный процесс конструирования государственной идентичности, национальных государств и их легитимизации. С другой стороны, под влиянием как внутрирегиональных вызовов, так и внешних акторов идет процесс регионостроительства. Достигнутый в 2017 г. «самаркандский консенсус» активизировал инициативу пяти центрально-азиатских государств по созданию регионального блока. В 2019 г. Европейский союз принял новую стратегию в отношении Центральной Азии. Таким образом, речь идет о сопряжении интеграционных проектов в Центральной Азии, о пересекающемся регионализме (overlapping regionalism). В статье рассматриваются инициативы и роль Европейского союза в конструировании Центрально-Азиатского региона.

Leer en Australia el pensamiento situado de un filósofo americanocomo Rodolfo Kusch puede parecer algo insólito. No obstante, el objetivo de esteescrito es el de compartir una serie de reflexiones de nuestras lecturas de Kuschdesde la experiencia de un sujeto que habita «entre mundos» o bien en una «dobleconsciencia». Nuestro camino ha sido motivado y aclarado por una penetranteobservación de Eduardo A. Azcuy cuando afirma que la invitación de Kusch «apensar América y pensar, asimismo, desde América en americano, lejos de constituiruna presunción localista significa una reivindicación del pensar mismo concebidocomo algo genuino y universalizante. Por histórica ironía ese pensar se convierteasí, en esta hora de crisis de la humanidad, en un pensar para el mundo».To read in Australia the situated thought of a Latin American philosopherlike Rodolfo Kusch may seem rather odd. However, the aim of this articleis to share a series of reflections of our readings of Kusch which emerge from theexperience of a subject who lives «between worlds» or dwells in a «double consciousness». Our path has been cleared and also motivated by Eduardo A. Azcuy'sinsight when he asserts that Kusch's invitation «to think America from Americaand from an Americano standpoint, far from being a parochial presumption, isindeed an assertion that thought can be genuinely conceived of as universal. Dueto the ironical turn of history, this thought has now become, at this juncture in thecrisis of humanity, as a way to think the world».

Este artículo estudia diversos aspectos del tráfico de libros entre España e Iberoamérica durante el siglo XVIII. En primer lugar los trámites burocráticos que debían cumplir los interesados en hacer llegar los libros al otro lado del Atlántico, teniendo en cuenta los cambios legislativos que introdujo la dinastía borbónica y la interdicción inquisitorial. Respecto a los textos embarcados, la atención se centra en predominio del Barroco frente al tardío y progresivo impacto de la Ilustración. ; This article examines several aspects of the books movements between Spain and Ibero America during the eighteenth century. Primary the bureaucratic procedures that merchants and other people had to carry out when they wanted to send books across the Atlantic, as regard the role of the Bourbon in legislative changes and the Inquisition censorship. Finally, with regard to the shipped books, the Baroque prevalence in front of the slow and progressive impact of the Enlightenment. ; Cet article étudie divers aspects de la circulation des livres entre l'Espagne et l'Amérique latine au XVIIIe siècle. En premier lieu, il examine les démarches administratives que les intéressés devaient accomplir pour faire parvenir leurs livres de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, en tenant compte de la censure inquisitoriale et des changements législatifs introduits par la dynastie des Bourbons. Finalement, en ce qui concerne les textes embarqués, l'attention se centre sur la prédominance du Baroque face à l'impact, tardif et progressif, des Lumières.

Brazilian foreign policy demonstrates an interesting double aspect in the changing global system. Its rhetoric and overt positioning is framed around the idea of Brazil as a value-creating actor, while in reality there are significant value-claiming characteristics at the core of its approach to regional and global affairs. The key for Brazil is its position as a 'bridge' between the South and the North, which allows its diplomats to establish the country as a critical coalition organizer and ideational leader for southern actors looking for major changes in global governance systems, and a central interlocutor for northern actors trying to cope with pressure from the South. Brazil's ambitions are simple: focusing more on an improved relative position, rather than a complete reformulation of the international system, which serves it well in economic, political and security terms. To explain this argument the article focuses on Brazilian engagement with Africa and South America, as well as the country's approach to major negotiations such as the WTO's Doha round, the Free Trade Area of the Americas and the evolution of regional governance mechanisms such as the Organization of American States and the recently created Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. The pattern that emerges is one of Brazil working to create a consensus around its position, using its consequent leadership to improve Brazilian leverage in the regional and global arena.

Die Sorge um das Bevölkerungswachstum in der "Dritten Welt" setzte ab den 1950er Jahren weltweit Menschen, Institutionen und Gelder in Bewegung. Familienplanung war die neue entwicklungspolitische Lösungsformel, mit deren Hilfe "unterentwickelte" Länder in die Moderne geführt werden sollten. Annika Hartmann untersucht die teils erbittert geführten Auseinandersetzungen um Bevölkerung und deren Regulierung in Guatemala, wo Familienplanungsprogramme schon früh als misslungen galten. Indem sie das "Narrativ des Scheiterns" historisiert, liefert sie ein vielschichtiges, nuanciertes Bild einer transnational verflochtenen Familienplanungsbewegung und deren Wirken in einem gesellschaftlich wie ethnisch tief gespaltenen Land.

'Globalisation führt zu weitreichende Strukturen gegenseitiger Abhängigkeiten im internationalen System. In vielen Bereichen sind lokale nationale Lösungen nicht mehr realisierbar. Dies gilt für divergierende Bereiche wie dem internationalen Frieden und der internationalen Sicherheit, dem Umweltschutz sowie für die internationale Wirtschaft und dem Schutz der Menschenrechte. Ohne Global Governance können weder die allgemeinen Menschheitsprobleme noch viele nationale Probleme gelöst werden. Erste Anstrengungen, einen Institutionen- und Gesetzesrahmen zu entwickeln, um Globalisierung in ihren unterschiedlichen Formen bewältigen zu können, haben begonnen worden. Die Strukturen der Global Governance sind jedoch noch unterentwickelt. Ein gemeinsames nachhaltiges Engagement von staatlichen und nichtstaatlichen Akteuren ist dringend erforderlich. Ein Nord-Süd Dialog zu Global Governance, gemeinsam organisiert durch die Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) und der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP), soll diese Anstrengungen unterstützen. Diese beiden Stiftungen haben eine Reihe internationaler Konferenzen organisiert, die die wichtigsten Forschungseinrichtungen auf dem Gebiet der internationalen Politik aus den Ländern des Südens sowie des Nordens miteinbeziehen. Ziel des Dialogs ist es, konkrete Maße und Probleme von Global Governance zu erforschen. Was muß getan werden, um wirksame Normen für Global Governance, politische Systeme und Organisationen aufzubauen? Wie wirken sich vorhandene Richtlinien und Einrichtungen in diesen unterschiedlichen Bereichen hinsichtlich Global Governance aus? Wie können sie verbessert werden? Die erste Konferenz, am 6-8 April 2000 in Ebenhausen, Deutschland, thematisierte vor allem die Sicherheitslage der Weltzentren sowie die Frage, wie Universalorganisationen wie die UNO und regionale Organisationen zusammen arbeiten können, um Global Governance hinsichtlich des Friedens und der Sicherheit zu verbessern.'
