Abstract

Em Memória Social em Campo Maior procurou-se, antes de mais, perceber e discutir algumas das especificidades decorrentes da localização fronteiriça da vila estudada, nomeadamente as que são reflectidas na produção e reprodução daquilo a que podemos chamar memória social. Em articulação com as categorias de espaço e de tempo, a memória social, entendida enquanto representação partilhada do passado e configuração do presente, constituiu-se, portanto, como o foco analítico principal que estruturou o trabalho. Na persecução dos objectivos definidos, foram configurados dois eixos de análise fundamentais. Por um lado a própria fronteira como objecto de inquirção, ou seja, como factor que singularizou a comunidade, quer quando funcionou como recurso, quer quando potenciou o conflito. Por outro lado, a memória social como elemento articulador de diferentes temporalidades e experiências de vida, ou seja, como recurso narrativo capaz de estruturar vivencias e dar-lhes sentido.

Abstract

"The Routledge Handbook of Smuggling offers a comprehensive survey of interdisciplinary research related to smuggling, reflecting on key themes, and charting current and future trends. Divided into 6 parts and spanning over 30 chapters, the volume covers themes such as mobility, borders, violent conflict, and state politics, as well as looking at the smuggling of specific goods - from rice and gasoline to wildlife, weapons and cocaine. Chapters engage with some of the most contentious academic and policy debates of the twenty-first century, including the historical creation of borders, re-bordering, the criminalisation of migration, and the politics of selective toleration of smuggling. As it maps a field that contains unique methodological, ethical, and risk-related challenges, the book takes stock not only of the state of our shared knowledge, but also reflects on how this has been produced, pointing to blind spots and providing an informed vision of the future of the field. Bringing together established and emerging scholars from around the world, the Routledge Handbook of Smuggling is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of conflict studies, borderland studies, criminology, political science, global development, anthropology, sociology and geography"--

Abstract

Este libro es un ejercicio de historia comparada, teniendo como sujeto y objeto de nuestro relato España y Portugal, desde dos marcos cronológicos diferentes. El período en que se articula una relaidad imperial durante el Antiguo Régimen y la del cambio hacia políticas nacionales imperiales. En este largo recogido histórico jugaron un papel relevante, tanto el tabaco, como le tráfico de esclavos. Entre 1580-1640 podemos referirnos a un solo Atlántico ibérico, en los aspectos defensivos y económicos y de modo especial en el tráfico de esclavos. Los dos monopolios ibéricos del tabaco se construyeron de manera distinta. La distinción institucional entre ambos Imperios se mantuvo durante la Unión Ibérica y la Restaracíon articuló un sistema atlántico del tabaco con muchas diferencias a partir de 1640. De la parte española se intentó crear un estanco imperial hispánico que culminó en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, muy ligado a las necesidades militares de defensa de las Indias. El monopolio portugués, cuya creación es paralela a la del estanco español, estuvo siempre restringido al territorio peninsular y a los archipiélagos del Atlántico medio, estando casi toda su historia en manos de arrendadores a diferencia de lo que pasó en España. Este sistema aproxima el estanco portugués al francés, en el que el tabaco entró en el contrato general de los arrendadores en 1730. No hubo pues un estanco Imperial, aunque si podemos referirnos a un sistema atlántico del tabaco lusitano. Desde Bahia se abrió un camino nuevo, al margen del mercado europeo, al integrarse el tabaco como mercancía de ida directa (sin pasar por Lisboa) en el comercio de esclavos (Tabaco por esclavos). Esta obra se acerca las principales claves planteadas en los debates parlamentarios de las Cortes de Cádiz y del Trienio Liberal en torno a la possible incompatibilidad entre libertad, propriedad y estanco del tabaco, e igualmente al debate político sobre la esclavitud. En los comienzos del reinado de Isabel II se llegó al consenso de la continuidad de la esclavitud en ultramar, con la prohibición de la trata, para conformar una política pública que, bajo el mandato progresista, se consolidó como una cuestión de estado, orientada a garantizar la dependencia colonial de Cuba, Puerto Rico y Filipinas.

Abstract

The present report summarizes researches and discussions conducted by members of the expert group within the framework of the Bulgarian anti-corruption initiative Coalition 2000 established in 1997. The report is dedicated to one of the most serious problems of the Bulgarian transition towards market economy, stable democratic institutions and legal state. The exploding growth of trans-border crime during the last 12 years has led to the emergence of criminal infrastructure, developed and maintained by criminal groups and semi-legal "power groups," which have appeared in the mentioned period. The trans-border crime in Bulgaria is a part of the new network of international organized crime, which was established after the end of the Cold War and which is closely connected to the regional channels of smuggling and trafficking. Smuggling (including drug smuggling) and trafficking are in particular the main sources of income for organized crime in the country. It is impossible to successfully fight the trans-border crime in the country without a determined effort to counter systemic corruption within the law-enforcing and law-protecting institutions. Enormous part of the criminal acts and irregularities concerning import and export of goods, drugs and weapons, as well as illegal trafficking of human beings, is conducted through unlawful cooperation with customs officers, employees of the National Border Police Service and other state institutions, responsible for border control. Corruption networks are part of the systemic smuggling or of the so-called smuggling channels, and the funds for bribing state employees represent "production costs" for organizers of smuggling. Without doubt, it is difficult to present an accurate assessment of the discussed problems, due to the lack of information about the exact parameters of smuggling, in particular of the drug smuggling, and about the real scale of corrupt practices. Hence the huge importance of indirect indicators like marketing researches in regard with the presence of particular goods on the market, and methods for comparison of such data with official customs statistics for import and exports of the same goods. Apart from these methods, of particular importance is the role of export analyses, reporting on informal "price-lists" of corrupt services, as well as of the scope and value of the realized smuggling deals and operations.

Abstract

Монографията "Контрабандните канали в Югоизточна Европа" анализира и разглежда връзката между конфликтите в бивша Югославия и нарастването на транс-граничната престъпност в региона като цяло. Отделено е и специално внимание на произтичащата от това корупция. Разработката акцентира и върху решаващата роля на войните в бивша Югославия в процеса на развитие на регионални криминални структури, създадени и често действащи не само със знанието, но и с активното участие на висши държавни чиновници. Изследването дава своя принос и към изучаването на конфликтите в района на западните Балкани. Повечето от направените до момента анализи за причините, развитието и последствията от Югославските войни акцентират върху етническите и политическите фактори, като се пренебрегва важното влияние от преплитането на интереси между политическия елит, организираната престъпност, появила се в този период, и посредническата роля на корумпирани държавни чиновници. Разработката е разделена на три части: - анализ на причините и проследяване развитието на контрабандните канали на Балканите в контекста на Югославските войни и наложените международни санкции; - характеристика на настоящите тенденции в транс-граничната престъпност в Югоизточна Европа; - преглед на превантивните мерки, предприети от националните правителства и международната общност. В първата част е анализиран проблема за контрабандата като способ за натрупване на средства за подпомагане изграждането и установяване на държавна структура в тези части на Югославия, които взеха участие във войната. Посредническата роля на Албания, България, Македония и Румъния също е дискутирана. Може да се твърди, че контрабандните мрежи в тези четири страни са се развивали с активната роля на много високопоставени политици, въпреки че не са се ползвали открито от съгласието на управляващите. Втората част очертава еволюцията на полулегалните контрабандни канали в "класическа" криминална мрежа. Така наречената "куфарна" търговия, контрабандата на цигари и наркотици, както и незаконният трафик на хора са разгледани в детайли. Третата част акцентира върху усилията на националните правителства и международната общност за борба с транс-граничната престъпност в региона и с корупцията, произтичаща от нея. Заключава се, че въпреки някои положителни резултати в последните години, успешната борба срещу тези две явления се възпрепятства от факта, че индивидуалните усилия на всяко национално правителство оставят на заден план възможността за едно общорегионално противодействие на тези проблеми. Представени са и аргументи в подкрепа на твърдението, че само общорегионалните и транснационални програми и усилия биха довели до ефективни резултати и успешно посрещане на транс-националните предизвикателства стоящи пред страните от Югоизточна Европа и Европейския съюз.
