The article "Presentation" from the magazine Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana focuses on collective action in Latin America and Chile. It invites young researchers and academics to reflect on this topic and its new perspectives. The article mentions theories of collective behavior and resource mobilization, as well as new social movements and their relationship with post-materialist values and the crisis of the States. It also highlights the importance of social networks in organizing collective action. The article presents ten studies that address collective action from different disciplines and trajectories, including the use of arpilleras as a tool for denunciation in Chile, the relationship between legality and legitimacy in the social movement of October 2019 in Chile, the collective action of the Mazatec indigenous communities in Mexico, the impact of alcoholism on the Mapuche community in Chile, and the crisis of utopia in Brazil. Book reviews on collective actions and insubordinate ecologies are also included. [Extracted from the article]

In the relationships between foundations and communities, resources of different types are mobilized and those who receive them are seen in an asymmetrical position; this study seeks to identify and interpret the narrative elements that characterize the perceptions about philanthropic practices among communities in Mexico; as well as to characterize the narrative elements that question the hegemonic definitions of philanthropy. Based on three workshops, with the participation of 70 people from 19 Mexican states, we analyzed knowledge and perceptions regarding the definition of community philanthropy, the recognition of differentiated contributions between men and women, and the recognition of the types of resources and how they are mobilized. The people participating in the workshops do not identify with a generalized definition of Community Philanthropy, but rather different philanthropic practices were made visible related to the work carried out in the private and public spheres, the processes of memory recovery and attachment to the territory. It is concluded that the visibility of the resources contributed by the communities, mainly the intangible ones, promotes symmetrical relationships; as well as recognizing that external donations enhance the processes that are already taking place within the communities.

The constructivist approach to community development recognizes the transformative and innovative role of the social aspect (social capital) of social economic organizations, to promote inclusive processes of resource mobilization and management of the commons. The research identifies relational strengths and weaknesses in rural productive organizations of the social economy of the province of Manabí-Ecuador, through the assessment of social capital. The methodology applied to assess social capital incorporates components of the institutional, cognitive and structural dimension, in three areas of analysis: territorial context, profile of the organization and relationship between members. At the territorial level, the limited coverage of public services affects all organizations, makes living conditions precarious, makes relationships difficult and confines development opportunities. The assessment of the organizational profile shows strengths to establish roles, rules and procedures and weakness in the construction of networks with external actors. For the relationship between members, the difficulty lies in maintaining a shared vision and sanctioning opportunistic behavior. Therefore, identifying the differences in the relational conditions of organizations, according to the level of social capital endowment, it is useful to guide the formulation of practical intervention strategies that promote local development through the strengthening of associations and cooperatives.

This article traces the origin and deployment of a set of operational networks that were formed, during World War II, with the explicit aim of cultivating a favourable environment for the United States in the Latin American press. Coordinated by a state agency, the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) or "Rockefeller Office", these networks served as a link between public and private sectors and, as such, facilitated the mobilization of power resources beyond the realm of the state for the purpose of creating incentives and disincentives aimed at influencing editorial orientation related to issues relevant to US foreign policy. In order to reveal the impacts and also the limits of such a deployment of power, this article focuses on the particular case of the Colombian press, analysing primary sources such as foreign and local press articles, as well as the OIAA archives.

The Green New Deal has been defined as "an unprecedented mobilization of resources to achieve 100% renewable energy to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions" (NEF, 2019, p.4). Currently there is consensus about its purpose, however, little has been theorized about its establishment in Colombia. In this sense, our objective is to identify the institutional changes required to establish a Green New Deal in Colombia, using a Delphi methodology, appropriate for interviewing experts. As a result of this research, it was found that, of the twelve useful public policies for their establishment identified in the theoretical framework, seven comply with the guidelines for assessing environmental policy instruments proposed by Labandeira et al. (2007) and therefore are considered necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a monographic issue on the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan and administrative capacity in Spain. It emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the deficiencies in the administrative capacities of some Spanish administrations. The temporary recovery instrument Next Generation EU (NGEU) is mentioned, as well as its objective of financing reforms in six priority areas. Additionally, the article highlights the link between NGEU and the political ambitions of the institutional cycle 2019-2024 and the multiannual financial framework 2021-2027. The article explores the concept of administrative capacity and its relationship with resource mobilization for the implementation of plans and programs. It also analyzes the impact of the reform of local public procurement on the efficiency of managing EU investments in Spanish municipalities, and examines the role of Parliament in improving administrative capacity and democratic control of the execution of European funds.

The Ideological Structure of action (ISA) is a concept developed by Russell Dalton, to explain the role of ideology in the causes that encourage collective action. This paper proposes its application to the analysis of the links between sinarquista movement and cultural-regional basis of which he was a political expression, this approach builds on the experience of an actor, come to activist sinarquista in the second constitutive process of the Partido Demócrata Mexicano (PDM) in 1975.

This article aims to propose practical and theoretical mechanisms for the understanding of collective actions, the purpose of which is to accomplish an agroecological transition. The theoretical framework is based on the main theories of collective action and social mobilization in the context of the Western world. The proposal materializes in guidelines that serve as answers to the following questions: what kind of society engages in collective action and what does agroecology mean? What motivations are there that can be used to participate in the agroecological transition and in the collective action that promotes it? What are the strategies for achieving the agroecological transition? And what is the political context and how does it affect collective action and the agroecological transition of the territory? The answers to these questions allow the analysis of the disposition of the actors to exchange traditional productive practices for agro-ecological ones, and also to examine the capacity for change and social transformation which collective action has in a given territory.

Objective. To describe the Strategy Results Cycle (SRC), a model that approaches planning as an ongoing cycle of seven phases that continually responds and adapts to existing evidence. Materials and methods. Reliable sources were used for the preparation of databases and expenditure-costing data for resources needs analysis. The planning process 6-9 months to complete a national strategic plan that was informed by evidence, focused on results and costed. Results. Knowledge transfer facilitated national leadership and stakeholders' participation. Between 2007 and 2011, 13 of 16 countries adopted the Strategy Results Cycle model. The evidence supported the identification of results and the expenditure-costing analysis improved budget allocation efficiency. Conclusion. The SRC facilitated purposeful participation and added value to previous planning approaches by connecting "thinking" and "doing" which resulted in national strategic plans that are designed by stakeholders, relevant to local conditions, and can guide implementation and resource mobilization.

This work is based on analyzing the origin, characteristics and resource mobilization of ethnic employers in Almería. In order to do this, we use the interactive model of ethnic business development devised by Waldinger, Aldrich and Ward (1990). This model combines two important analysis elements: opportunity structures and group characteristics. A series of ethnic strategies that enable the businessman to keep his business open and defend himself against external attack —blocked mobility, government policies, customers, etc.— emerge from the combination of these factors in a highly competitive labour market where very small businesses have a much reduced profit margin.
