Abstract: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) is committed to building and maintaining good relationships with all its neighbors. To demonstrate this commitment, the District’s Board of Directors adopted a Good Neighbor Policy in 1988. Since the last revision to the District’s Good Neighbor Policy in 1996, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) approved the District’s Coastside Protection Program, in 2004, and expanded the District’s boundary to include coastal San Mateo County from the southern boundary of the city of Pacifica to the Santa Cruz County line. This geographic area is called the Coastside Protection Area. In conjunction with LAFCo’s approval, the Board of Directors adopted a Service Plan for the Coastside Protection Program, which outlines the preservation and management services that will be provided by the District in the Coastside Protection Area.

TL;DR: The idea of a public is one of the central fictions of modern life as mentioned in this paper, and it has powerful implications for how our social world takes shape, and much of modern lives involves struggles over the nature of publics and their interrelations.
Abstract: Most of the people around us belong to our world not directly, as kin or comrades, but as strangers. How do we recognize them as members of our world? We are related to them as transient participants in common publics. Indeed, most of us would find it nearly impossible to imagine a social world without publics. In the eight essays in this book, Michael Warner addresses the question: What is a public?According to Warner, the idea of a public is one of the central fictions of modern life. Publics have powerful implications for how our social world takes shape, and much of modern life involves struggles over the nature of publics and their interrelations. The idea of a public contains ambiguities, even contradictions. As it is extended to new contexts, politics, and media, its meaning changes in ways that can be difficult to uncover.Combining historical analysis, theoretical reflection, and extensive case studies, Warner shows how the idea of a public can reframe our understanding of contemporary literary works and politics and of our social world in general. In particular, he applies the idea of a public to the junction of two intellectual traditions: public-sphere theory and queer theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use their own studies of migration from Haiti, St Vincent, Grenada and the Philippines to the United States to delineate some of the parameters of an ethnography of transnational migration and explore the reasons for and the implications of trans-national migrations.
Abstract: Contemporary immigrants cannot be characterized as the « uprooted » . Many are transmigrants, becoming firmly rooted in their new country but maintaining multiple linkages to their homeland. While in the United States and Europe, most social scientists and public policy makers have ignored these interconnections, anthropologists are currently engaged in building a transnational anthropology and rethinking their data on immigration. Migration proves to be an important transnational process that reflects and contributes to the current political configurations of the emerging global economy. In this paper, the AA. use their own studies of migration from Haiti, St. Vincent, Grenada and the Philippines to the United States to delineate some of the parameters of an ethnography of transnational migration and explore the reasons for and the implications of transnational migrations. They conclude that the transnational connections of immigrants provide a subtext for current efforts to redefine the nature of citizenship in relationship to the global economy
