In The Broken Village, Daniel R. Reichman tells the story of a remote village in Honduras that transformed almost overnight from a sleepy coffee-growing community to a hotbed of undocumented migration to and from the United States. The small village-called here by the pseudonym La Quebrada-was once home to a thriving coffee economy. Recently, it has become dependent on migrants working in distant places like Long Island and South Dakota, who live in ways that most Honduran townspeople struggle to comprehend or explain. Reichman explores how the new "migration economy" has upended cultural ideas of success and failure, family dynamics, and local politics.During his time in La Quebrada, Reichman focused on three different strategies for social reform-a fledgling coffee cooperative that sought to raise farmer incomes and establish principles of fairness and justice through consumer activism; religious campaigns for personal morality that were intended to counter the corrosive effects of migration; and local discourses about migrant "greed" that labeled migrants as the cause of social crisis, rather than its victims. All three phenomena had one common trait: They were settings in which people presented moral visions of social welfare in response to a perceived moment of crisis. The Broken Village integrates sacred and secular ideas of morality, legal and cultural notions of justice, to explore how different groups define social progress.

La cooperación comercial entre las naciones latinoamericanas alcanzó en 1960 un logro muy importante al constituirse la Asociación Latinoamericana de Libre Comercio (ALALC). Ésta, sin embargo, fue incapaz de alcanzar los grandes objetivos que tenía encomendados, y desapareció. Poco tiempo después se instituyó la Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI) buscando superar los problemas de la ALALC y sentar bases firmes para una unión que beneficiara a los países asociados. Pero la ALADI no ha podido alcanzar tampoco sus objetivos. El autor de este libro hace un análisis de los obstáculos que se interponen en el funcionamiento de la ALADI y sugiere algunas soluciones. También hace una revisión histórica de las dos asociaciones así como de otros proyectos de unión comercial en América Latina.

This paper discusses Honduras’ Fifth and Sixth Reviews under the Stand-by Arrangement (SBA). All continuous performance criteria for the end of June 2017 were met. The indicative target on the National Electricity Company’s (ENEE) operating revenue-to-spending ratio was missed by a small margin owing to up-front fees paid to the loss-recovery concessionaire. On the structural front, notable reforms are the adoption of a fiscal responsibility law to anchor a sustainable medium-term fiscal position; the overhaul of the tax administration; and the reduction in the heavily overstaffed payroll of ENEE. The authorities have indicated that they will not purchase the amount available on completion of these reviews, in line with their intention to treat the SBA as precautionary.
