Al concluir recientemente la firma de un acuerdo para solucionar las afectaciones derivadas de las obras que se vienen realizando por la construcción de la Línea 3 del Tren Ligero, así como la realización de los partidos de beisbol y otros eventos en el estadio de Los Charros de Jalisco, en el que participaron las autoridades municipales de Zapopan, Jalisco y algunos representantes de vecinos pertenecientes al Colectivo Colonias Unidas; el presidente municipal de Zapopan, Pablo Lemus Navarro, calificó este hecho como “un nuevo modelo de gobernanza digno de ser imitado” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016). En este contexto, la misma autoridad municipal enfatizó que los alcances de los acuerdos pactados con los vecinos organizados quedaron circunscritos a la “competencia municipal (por ejemplo, incrementar la seguridad en torno al estadio de beisbol) y se cumplirán, pero en los temas de competencia federal-estatal (como es el caso del diseño de la Macroplaza o la fecha de terminación de obras), sólo prometió encabezar la gestión” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016).
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
How can governments ensure that women have the same employment and entrepreneurship opportunities as men? One important step is to level the legal playing field so that the rules for operating in the worlds of work and business apply equally regardless of gender. Women, Business and the Law 2018, the fifth edition in a series, examines laws affecting women’s economic inclusion in 189 economies worldwide. It tracks progress that has been made over the past two years while identifying opportunities for reform to ensure economic empowerment for all. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2017 and explores new areas of research, including financial inclusion.

A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students.
