To better know the field of Sociology of Spanish Education, specifically its current state in relation to the study of Educational Inequality, this article analyzes, in a relational and qualitative way, publications of three Spanish scientific journals specializing in the discipline: Journal of the Association of Sociology of Education, International Journal in Sociology of Education and Tempora Magazine. By linking analyses of the selected articles and each magazine to one another, at least two disputes have been identified: 1) an internal one about the assumptions and methods used to study Educational Inequality, and 2) an external one on how the discipline challenges socially legitimate common sense. Despite discrepancies in the concepts of educational research, there are elements among the journals that, when integrated, nourish the internal debates of the discipline and consolidate its positioning against social discourses full of stigmas and prejudices.

The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of the Foreign Direct Investments motivations in Georgia and to study their influence on the country's economy by considering sector and country characteristics. To assess the impact of foreign direct investment motivation on local economies, the author interviewed companies operating in Georgia in 2009-2016.Then, because the measurement scales used in the survey were mainly binary and ordinary, the author used ProbiT Regression and Ordered ProbiT Regression models. Results obtained from surveys and from analyses using regression equations show that natural resource-seeking companies use local goods and services in their production processes; this is expressed in their linkages with local suppliers and distributors.  Conclusions are that foreign direct investments in Georgia have no significant influence on the development of local organizations and innovations. Although the Georgian market is small and the population is quite poor, market-seeking foreign direct investment is predominant.  Multinational Enterprises that are directly engaged in foreign investments in Georgia (except for natural resources-seeking foreign direct investments), are rarely integrated with local markets.

Airline companies, including many legacy airlines, have developed global alliances to adapt to dynamic competitive conditions to gain a competitive advantage over other companies. In this way, the number of destinations and network structures of the airline companies have expanded. This study examines the financial factors affecting the capital structure of airline companies that are members of global alliances. In this context, the goal of this study is to reveal the financing behaviors of airlines using theories related to the structure of capital. To this end, we used secondary financial data of member airlines in strategic alliances. For the scope of the study, the period of 2005-2017 was examined, and the panel data analysis method was used. Empirical results of the study indicate that: a) There are significant differences between short-term and long-term debt behaviors of the airlines that were analyzed, b) While long-term debt behavior of airlines is in accordance with the Trade-Off Theory, short-term debt behavior is in accordance with the Pecking Order Theory, and c) In the global alliances, the long-term financial behavior is similar to the traditional low-cost business model of airlines.

This article intends to think about the power –past and present– of Peronism as a political-cultural movement, based on an analysis of the sculptures entitled Los derechos del trabajador and La razón de mi vida, originally intended as part of the so-called Monumento al Descamisado, designed by the government in 1951, and currently part of the heritage of the Museo Histórico 17 de octubre, located in the town of San Vicente, Province of Buenos Aires. Addressing them from the point of view of the biographical approach of the material culture, a tour of the different moments that the sculptures went through to the place (physical, historical and symbolic) that they occupy today is realized, thus understanding not only that they have managed to transcend enormously to its creators, but have also been resignified and transformed into various instances, as the product of changing social and power relations.

In this work we will examine the different adoption rhythms of Western material culture by the Yagan society of Tierra de Fuego from the end of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century. In order to do this, we will focus the analysis on a corpus of 428 ethnographic photographs of this indigenous people, obtained between 1881 and 1987 in Tierra del Fuego, in order to analyze in a diachronic way the unequal adoption of Western material culture, specifically clothing and ornaments. In this way, we hope to discuss the different processes regarding this material culture since the contact with Europeans: full adoption, partial adoption (cycling), recycling, and resilience. Thus, we find that the Yagans were active agents of their own cultural change, which had different rhythms linked to negotiation and resilience processes, which allowed the physical and cultural survival of this First Nation.

The present paper examines what I call “the war press” in the conjuncture of the final months of the critical year of 1820 in Buenos Aires. After endless factional struggles and the invasion of the coastal army, the election and consolidation of an owner government is defined there. As a hypothesis, it is proposed here that, in that public frame of scarce legitimacy and intense aggressiveness between the opposing sides, two competing political imaginaries are presented, one led by the federal faction of Manuel Dorrego and another of centralist extraction whose visible head is Martín Rodríguez. One of the struggles in which this confrontation takes place is through what I call the “war press”, an intense exchange of opinions between centralist and federal newspapers, marked by the absolute lack of understanding between the parties, the intense aggressiveness and disqualification of the “other”. For this reason, the main centralist newspapers and one of those of federal origin constitute the main documentary basis of this work.

This paper approaches Henry Hyndman´s trajectory, an English politician of radical and Tory origin, whom later would convert to socialism and found the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), one of the British socialist party affiliated to the Second International. In this case study, it is intended to give an account of the evolution of his positions regarding India, which are analyzed in the framework of his militancy and political activity. It is proposed a type of analysis that reconstructs its militancy and political trajectory within the framework of a diverse set of ideas about India that circulated in Great Britain.

In 1940 21,000 Polish intellectuals and officers were shot by the USSR in the Katyn forest. The massacre was hidden by the Russian government and discovered by the Germans in 1943, who used it for propaganda purposes. At the same time, the Soviet Union held the SS responsible for it, involving allied countries in its favor. The article´s purpose is to contribute to Argentina´s political and diplomatic history. To accomplish this aim, the public reception of the massacre is linked to the Country´s foreign policy statements, and how these statements were used by the different internal political actors. The first section presents the Roberto Ortiz (1938-1942) and Ramón Castillo (1942-1943) governments foreign policy’s, and its relationship to the reports of the Argentine consuls in Europe about the Polish officers´ mass graves´ discovery. In the second section, the repercussions in the Argentine public opinion of Katyn's findings are analyzed, interpreting them according to the different alignments of the local political field against the neutral position of the Argentine government in relation to the war and the domestic political reconfigurations.
