Euroafrican and Latin American Bilateral Migration Agreements: The Role of State-Diaspora Partnership Panizzon, Marion; Hazan, Miryam; Plaza Parra, Sonia María Lourdes In the absence of an overarching multilateral regime regulating international migration, and in an attempt to benefit from organized forms of migration management by non-state actors, governments from receiving and sending countries have come up with different initiatives that attempt to engage non-state actors, including diasporas in the development process of their countries of origin (Bauböck, 2008). Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, as well as other governments and institutions, are working with developing country diaspora groups to promote development in origin countries and to support their own foreign policy objectives, notably the goal of selective migrant recruitment.

Distribution of health care facilities Carrillo Rojas, Ethel Rosario This chapter provides a population-based analysis of the distribution and potential capacity of different types health care facilities in Peru. Health care facilities are heavily concentrated in the major urban areas of Peru. The distribution of health care facilities in Peru has been analyzed without regard for their equipment inventories or states of repair. The Ministry of Health (MOH) should not only work toward a more equitable distribution of new health care facilities, but should also take immediate steps to repair, maintain, and resupply their existing facilities. The chapter analyzes the availability of and potential need for hospital beds, assessing coverage at the departmental, regional, and hospital-area levels. Health centers are more evenly distributed in relation to population distribution than hospitals, but they still show substantial variation among departments. The MOH runs too many large hospitals and too few medium-sized ones, preventing its network from functioning efficiently and equitably. La versión impresa del libro se publicó en 1988 y como e-book el 19 de diciembre de 2019.

Additive and synergistic perceived risk of crime: A multilevel longitudinal study in Peru Hernández Breña, Wilson Virgilio In Criminology, fear of crime has been by and large a more common object of study than perceived risk of crime. Both concepts seem to be highly related. After all, they share theories (LaGrange, Ferraro, and Supanic 1992), almost all of their predictors (Russo, Roccato, and Vieno 2010; Rountree and Land 1996), and one of the concepts is considered the cause and effect of the other (Ferraro and LaGrange 1987; Rountree and Land 1996; Russo, Roccato, and Vieno 2010). In the words of Warr (2000), perceived risk is similar to fear but behaves differently. Moreover, Chadee and Ditton (2007) reported a positive correlation between perceived risk and fear of crime in a sample of 26 pairs of crimes. However, the correlation was small and variable (between 0.04 and 0.21), which the authors considered to be a sign of their independence rather than a hypothesis of their actual relationship.
