THE EXPERIENCE OF A BLOG
witnessing a globalized and interdependent world, the information age global.Solamente three steps are necessary for the dissemination of scientific knowledge, the sharing of life experiences or just to show agreement or disagreement with certain aspects the world in which we vivir.La tool that allows us to inform and be informed, to criticize or be criticized, learn or teach, learn or get to know, etc.. summarized in four letters: block g. As simple and as I said before, in three steps. But a blog, in short, is not new. This is a simple log book, yes, with a maximum virtuality is precisely its virtual. Also opening the knowledge of any person without any discrimination. The innovative aspect is therefore the use of new technologies for knowledge by anyone, for anyone. "Non nova, sed nove" Nothing new, but a new way

ON RESEARCH ...
Over the last few class sessions, took place the presentation of various research. Have addressed various diverse subject matters and poured a huge amount of concepts, arguments, opinions and conclusions of different nature and scope.
State "fragile" and "business" of guerra.Hemos learned, for example, is meant by a State "fragile." Despite this being a controversial term, the State "fragile" would be one that: 1 .- It is unable to control all or part of its territorio.2 .- You can not maintain a legal order .- interno.3 can not provide basic public services or ensuring access to precisely mismos.Son fragile states, the production scenarios for conflict since they are incapable of responding effectively to crisis situations. As a result, we can say that if the conflict is perpetuated is entrenched, and it involves the appearance of greed in the ruling elite, for whom the war can become a "business" very lucrative.
Security and Defence Policy of the Union Europea.Se has defended the need for the European Union to establish a Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) in common. Among the arguments in favor of this thesis, I would highlight those who come to say something like "no security policy and defense policy, there can be no real foreign policy" or "The EU role in international relations passing through the establishment of a common defense policy." It is true that the world demand, increasingly, the EU action in various crisis scenarios. So is that with the end of the Cold War, the main motivation disappears leading to the creation of NATO. However, it has remained largely intact, thanks in part to the U.S. strategy of framing the European security within the framework of NATO action, but also thanks to the EU's incapacity to cope alone situations consummate crisis (Kosovo). However, despite not having EU defined a security and defense, the growing European role in international relations is an obvious fact. An example of this is, for example, the role entrusted to the High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the EU, Javier Solana (Mr. CFSP), as a negotiator in the Iranian nuclear crisis on behalf of the permanent members + Security Council Alemania.Pero first of all should ask ourselves: Are there really threats to justify an urgent need to establish a security policy and defense policy? And if so, what are they? Or rather is it not all part of a strategy to dispose of production of the arms industry or legitimize the construction of more weapons and better quality under the title of Research & Development? Japan and innovación.El
concept of innovation has also been accommodated along the exhibitions, mainly in the hard work to Japan. Among other things, highlight the importance of culture in the form of organizing group work and production. Also the fact the interaction between government, universities and companies as key players in innovación.Entre conclusions, it is particularly important to the assertion that local innovation is a precondition for innovation at the state level. Would something like an inductive procedure applied to the way of innovating. In addition, the transition from the particular to general is a basic principle that can be extrapolated to other dimensions of human life, such as economic and sustainable development, cooperation for development, democracy, etc. Multinacionales.En
increasingly globalized world there are more companies whose scope exceeds the traditional boundaries of the State. Hence, these, have been termed Transnational Corporations (TNCs). The phenomenon of transnationalism is not confined only to the relocation of production in itself, but also the relations between such undertakings and States or rather, the influence of the former over the latter. Companies thus influence the political power, either in the State or elsewhere, through various mechanisms such as campaign finance electorales.Lo fact is that relations between TNC's and States are increasingly close, and the proof would be the institutionalization of such relationships (for example, the creation of a World Economic Forum), or military interventions in other countries in order to protect certain investments. Can the State to limit the power or ability to influence of TNC's? The answer given by the group on this issue was that the state only can do so very limited, being necessary to regulate legal and internationally binding to TNC's do not take advantage of gaps in international power or established in countries with institutions, legal and political too weak to carry out its production activities in many sometimes by over-exploitation, abuse and extortion by government. Airlines
"low cost". It is difficult to speak of a single model of low cost airlines, although the vast majority of them offer similar features, notably the reduction in costs to increase beneficios.Como important element pointing marketing used to attract customers, including the characterization of the planes themselves with peculiar names such as .... But undoubtedly, the most important is the sale of tickets on-line through Internet. An innovative strategy that combines physical replacement of staff by mechanization (cost reduction), the convenience of purchasing a product without leaving home and learning and progressive confidence in new technologies.
external debt. "External debt, or" eternal debt? China.Sobre China can say many things and almost always in astronomical figures: 1,300 mill. population, annual economic growth around 10%, etc. But China represents a threat or a multipolar balance needed for The answer probably varies depending on whom you direct the question. If who answers is the United States, they may get to see China as a threat, as a competitor for energy resources, especially in Latin America. Trade agreements between Chinese and American marks a milestone in an area of \u200b\u200btraditional U.S. dominance. In military terms, it seems that China is getting closer to being able to compete with Unidos.Si States the question is made to the Europeans, Latin Americans or Africans, may obtain a different response. Hence, what to Americans would be considered a threat to its hegemonic power, is seen by others as a counterweight to the power level the correlation of forces existentes.El fact is that China has gone from being a "wannabe ... "to be a real economic power, cultural and military, which penetrates the various Western societies. More and more Chinese students in Spain, for example. But information about the Asian giant is still very low, insuficiente.Las news related to the "Asian tiger" are often loaded with pejorative connotations, referring to low labor costs, counterfeiting, etc.. Although these data are true, it is biased reporting. Little or nothing is said that recently, the OECD announced that China had become in 2006 the second largest investor in R & D worldwide, ahead of Japan and behind the United States. China last year spent 1.3% of GDP (136,000 million dollars) on this concept, higher than the English. Why should this lack of information so urgent? Is it because of the fear that is supposed to disclose a different model than usual? Or, going further still Is it possible that this model works best or preferred what scares who controls the game of interests?
The tentacles of oil.
