Abstract

Cuando Lope de Vega escribe «Las bizarrías de Belisa» en 1634 tiene a sus espaldas una extraordinaria trayectoria en la que confluye el éxito con la desgracia, la fama con la condena. Lope goza, por un lado, del privilegio de ser un mito canonizado en vida, y por otro, se ve apremiado por numerosos desencantos que vierte en una expresión estética que oscila entre lo realista y lo distorsionado. Sus relaciones con el todo poderoso valido del rey, el Conde Duque de Olivares, son poco armónicas, y su situación anímica fluctúa entre la necesidad de reconocimiento literario y el deseo de evadirse de la Corte. En «Las bizarrías de Belisa» la ciudad de Madrid invade el texto como un marco tan hermoso de día como inhóspito de noche, bullicioso e impredecible, incita una serie de conductas agresivas, desde la inauguración de nuevas respuestas a la violencia simbólica que impone el trazado de calles y edificios. La comedia establece una compleja relación entre comportamiento humano y entorno arquitectónico, muy interesante para el lector moderno.

Abstract

This 2019 Article IV Consultation with Belize focused on structural reforms to raise growth and social inclusion; strengthening resilience to natural disasters; balanced medium-term fiscal consolidation; tax reform; and strengthening financial oversight and anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism actions. Public debt remains above 90 percent of gross domestic product, the current account deficit is projected to remain large over the medium term, and international reserves are just below three months of imports of goods and services. The pace of structural reform has been slow. Downside risks, including from slower US growth, natural disasters, crime, and renewed pressures on correspondent banking relationships could weaken growth and financial stability. Belize is adapting its tax regime in response to concerns from multilateral institutions regarding potentially harmful features. Sustaining Belize's recent economic expansion, spurring private investment, and facilitating structural diversification hinges on strengthening the business environment.

Abstract

How does Empire operate in frontiers and borderlands during times of conflict? Empire on Edge reveals how British officials attempted during the second half of the nineteenth century to understand and impose order on northern Belize, an area that was both a frontier of colonial power and the locus of a disputed border with Mexico. Their efforts were complicated by the local ramifications of Yucatán's Caste War (1847-1901), a long-lasting, violent struggle between segments of the indigenous Maya in southeast Mexico and the Mexican state. The book also illuminates how people subject to these efforts, especially the Hispanic and various Maya groups, sought to thwart them by building alliances across seemingly firm lines of racial and ethnic division. Along the way, important questions are raised about the dissonance between colonial and imperial projects, the nature of frontiers and borderlands, and the local effects of disputes between bordering countries.

Abstract

EI territorio de Quintana Roo, en el sureste de Mexico, en la frontera con Bel ice, nace en 1902. Una de las dificultades recurrentes del territorio fue la ausencia de población y las medidas adoptadas para atraer a nuevos habitantes. Y también para definir a estos habitante. En esta región periférica, la población constituye un desafío estratégico para la consolidación de la soberanía nacional; manifiesta la afirmación de un biopoder -y de sus límites- que lleva a imponer las características raciales y nacionales de la población. Mediante el estudio de la radicalización de las políticas migratorias, y también de las políticas de integración y de desarrollo de la región (expediciones científicas, acceso a las tierras, tipo de explotación territorial), se trata de introducir una alteridad distinta a la indígena en las reflexiones sobre la nación el mestizaje y la raza, a partir del caso del extranjero negro. Esta investigación inscribe a México en la historia de las sociedades posesclavistas caribeñas marcadas por las migraciones de trabajadores afrodescendientes, y da cuenta del surgimiento de una nueva entidad político-administrativa al margen de la nación. EI libro aporta una nueva luz sobre las lógicas de inclusión y de exclusión propias de las políticas de mestizaje en el México posrevolucionario, por medio de un doble desfase analítico: estudiar eL lugar de las poblaciones negras más que el de las indígenas; centrarse en la inmigración más que en la autoctonía.

Abstract

KEY ISSUES Outlook and risks. The economy will remain vulnerable over the medium term, with sluggish real GDP growth, rising public debt and widening external current account deficits. International reserves could decline to uncomfortably low levels. The financial system would continue to be hampered by high NPLs and low capital buffers, especially at a systemic bank. Main fiscal risks include a court decision that could lead to a larger than expected compensation to the former owners of the nationalized companies, weaknesses in a systemic bank, and the cost of the new public bank. Focus of the Consultation. Discussions focused on measures that would place public debt on a sustainable path; address weaknesses in the financial system, particularly in a systemic bank; buttress external sector resilience; and enhance competitiveness and inclusive growth. Key policy advice. ? Improve the primary fiscal balance to about 4.5 percent of GDP starting in 2015. This could be achieved mainly by allowing spending on goods and services to rise only in line with inflation; containing the expansion in the wage bill; requiring public workers to contribute to their pensions; and by widening the tax base and strengthening revenue administration. Active debt management, including refinancing of expensive debt with low-earning deposits (essentially from PetroCaribe), would support these efforts. ? Address banking sector vulnerabilities through improving capital buffers. ? Improve public financial management (PFM) to contain low-quality spending, strengthen budget formulation, preparation, and execution, and improve the coverage and accuracy of budget documents. ? Further improve the business environment to attract more private investment, boost competitiveness, and enhance job-creating and inclusive growth. Implementation of staff advice. Implementation of recent staff advice is mixed. The breathing room provided by the debt restructuring was not used to improve the primary fiscal balance. The authorities plan to review exemptions and zero-ratings under the GST.

Abstract

Overly expansionary macroeconomic policies contributed to a widening of current account deficits, an unsustainable buildup of public debt, and the erosion of international reserves. The Belize government has already made commendable strides in correcting macroeconomic imbalances, based on measures to increase tax collection, rein in discretionary current expenditure, and cut capital expenditure. However, these efforts alone are not sufficient to bring the public finances and the balance of payments back on a sustainable path; supportive structural reforms in the fiscal and monetary areas should be implemented.
