TL;DR: In this article, a sistema de silvicultura hipotetico de antiguos may as is used for construir and manejar distintos tipos de ecosistemas.
Abstract: La presencia de selvas altas dominadas por arboles utiles en la zona Maya se utiliza como punto de partida para reconstruir un sistema de silvicultura hipotetico de los antiguos may as. Este sistema posiblemente se utilizo para construir y manejar distintos tipos de ecosistemas. La reconstruccion esta basada un una serie de tecnicas agricolas y silvicolas que utilizan los may as actuates en distintas zonas del area Maya. La silvicultura antigua Maya cuestiona seriamente las tendencias actuales del uso del suelo y los recursos bioticos de las zonas tropicales, y sugiere un nuevo enfoque para la conservacion y el desarrollo de estas zonas, que puede mejorar notablemente el manejo de los recursos de las selvas en algunas regiones tropicales para beneficio de sus habitantes.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of authoritarian enclaves in which the old rules of the game still operate are identified as prime targets for political reform, with the victory of Vicente Fox in the July 2000 presidential elections.
Abstract: Over the last two decades, popular mobilization has pushed forward a halting, protracted process of political transition in Mexico. The old one-party regime has broken down, and democratic institutions have finally taken its place. But democratization has not proceeded at the same pace across all regions or spheres of government. As a result, Mexico9s new political order comprises a series of authoritarian enclaves in which the old rules of the game still operate. With the victory of Vicente Fox in the July 2000 presidential elections, these authoritarian enclaves represent prime targets for political reform. / Durante las ultimas dos decadas, una movilizacion popular ha puesto en movimiento un prolongado y pausado proceso de transicion politica en Mexico. El antiguo regimen del partido oficial se ha desmantelado, e instituciones democraticas, aunque fragiles en su composicion, lo han reemplazado. Pero la democratizacion no ha procedido en la misma medida por todas las regiones o esferas del gobierno. Entre los enclaves mas sobresalientes que han resistido los cambios se encuentran la burocracia federal, la judiciaria, sectores de los medios de comunicacion, y zonas locales regidas por elementos del partido dominante que aun no se ven afectadas por las reformas politicas del pais. Con la victoria electoral de Vicente Fox en las elecciones presidenciales de julio de 2000, estos enclaves autoritarios son puntos de partida fundamentales para consolidar la reforma politica.

TL;DR: It is shown that emigration has moved beyond its historical origins in west-central Mexico into the central region and, to a lesser extent, the southeast and border regions, and in the United States, traditional gateways continue to dominate, but a variety of new destinations have emerged.
Abstract: Using data from Mexico9s Matriicula Consular program, we analyze the geographic organization of undocumented Mexican migration to the United States. We show that emigration has moved beyond its historical origins in west-central Mexico into the central region and, to a lesser extent, the southeast and border regions. In the United States, traditional gateways continue to dominate, but a variety of new destinations have emerged. California, in particular, has lost its overwhelming dominance. Although the geographic structure of Mexico-U.S. migration is relatively stable, it has nonetheless continued to evolve and change over time.

TL;DR: Turnout patterns now resemble those of established democracies, where affluent and politically engaged citizens are more likely to participate than poorer, less informed, and rural voters who make up the Institutional Revolutionary Party9s traditional base as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: During the last decade, patterns of voter turnout in Mexico have changed dramatically. Turnout patterns now resemble those of established democracies, where affluent and politically engaged citizens are
more likely to participate than poorer, less informed, and rural voters who make up the Institutional Revolutionary Party9s traditional base. Because those Mexicans most likely to vote are also those most
likely to support the opposition, especially the National Action Party, changing partisan biases in electoral participation have had crucial consequences for Mexico9s political system. Durante la uultima
deecada, los patrones de participacioon de votantes en Meexico han cambiado dramaaticamente. Estos se asemejan ahora a los de las democracias establecidas, donde los ciudadanos acomodados
e interesados en poliitica son maas propensos a participar que los maas pobres, los menos informados y los votantes rurales que forman la base tradicional del Partido Revolucionario Institucional.
Como los mexicanos maas propensos a votar son aquellos tambieen maas propensos aapoyar ala oposicioon,especialmente alPartido Accioon Nacional, el cambio de las tendencias
de los partidarios en la participacioon electoral ha tenido consecuencias decisivas para el sistema poliitico mexicano.
