The article discusses the physicochemical principles for the production of alumina cements based on nickel and cobalt spinel. The results of tetrahedration of the CaO–Al2O3–CoO–NiO system, which undergoes changes due to solid-state exchange reactions in the high-temperature region of the CaO–Al2O3–CoO subsystem at a calculated temperature of 1439 K, as well as the decomposition of the Ca3CoAl4O10 ternary compound near 1530 K, are presented. Thermodynamic analysis establishes the stability of the conodes of the above system, allowing for its triangulation. Modifications of the subsolidus structure are combined and given for the temperature of 1530 K. All binary, ternary, and quaternary combinations thermodynamically stable in the subsolidus region of the system under study are presented. Topological graphs depicting the interconnection of elementary tetrahedrons, which allow the prediction of solid-state processes in multi-component systems, have been constructed. Based on the study of the structure of the CaO–Al2O3–CoO–NiO system, the possibility of technological forecasting of heterophase materials with high-performance characteristics is substantiated.
ICT Growth and the Fintech Boom: A Mismatched Capability Perspective from Nigeria
Authors: Lange Thomas
Published: November 2024

This article draws on both, dynamic capability theory and reviews of contemporary market research studies to assess the sustainability of Nigeria’s burgeoning fintech sector. It highlights the need for targeted education and training schemes to address a skills-driven, dynamic capability mismatch between larger and micro-enterprise employers in Nigeria’s organizational landscape. The talent pool of qualified candidates is limited, competition is intense, and the fintech boom has led to substantial emigration of the young and digitally skilled. Although unevenly distributed government efforts are evident, micro-employers have yet to benefit from these interventions.
The Effectiveness of the African Union’s Mechanisms in Preventing and Combatting Corruption and the Commitment to Achieve Development Agendas 2030 and 2063
Authors: Lupwana Jean Jacques Kandala  , Frank Moffat
Published: November 2024

Annually, Africa loses more than $50 billion through illicit financial outflows, and most countries have remained over-dependence on resources supplied by development partners. Efforts to address these impediments are mainly focused on the steps that must be taken to reduce outflows and ensure development resources remain within the continent to reduce, among other things poverty and hunger, ensure good health and well-being as well as quality education, and provide clean water and sanitation to the African citizen. This paper builds on traditional anti-corruption mechanisms and explores processes that support strategic litigation. The paper finds opportunities to use both the merged and yet-to-be-operationalised African Court of Justice and Human Rights (AfCJHR) and the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. The paper supports the requirement of making declarations under Articles 8 (3), 5 (1,d & 3), and 34 (6) of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights and the African Court on Human and Peoples Rights, respectively.
Broken by her Country of Broken Things: Memory, Resistance, and the Politics of Time in NoViolet Bulawayo’s Glory (2022)
Authors: Aniqua Manawar  , Muhammad Kamran Fiaz
Published: November 2024

This article presents a reading of NoViolet Bulawayo’s novel Glory (2022) in the light of indigenous temporality and structural and administrative violence in the transition from pre-colonial to colonial, and then to postcolonial times in an imaginary African land.  The study argues that structures of neocolonial violence and active erasure create a pseudo-temporality in the people of the ex postcolonies. It seeks to explore the idea of time in the postcolony, the distortion of communal past by the colonisers, the imposition of an invented past, present and future on the subjects, and the multitude’s resistance to and rejection of this imposed time in an African society. The novel depicts the patterns of violence in the postcolony. The indigenous population in the novel seeks to build for them a just future. Historical consciousness of suffering and pain of the ancestors is the starting point of liberating self. Remembering and memorialising the ancestors who suffered is the first step towards it. The study gives us a key to understanding parallel democracy that decolonised nations should aim at, keeping in view the damage caused by the invader’s view of progress (Western concept of development with neocolonialism) and democracy (a colonial byproduct). memorialising the ancestors who suffered is the first step towards it.

Toward Environmental Sustainability: The Nexus between Agriculture, Renewable Energy, and Economic Growth in Mitigating CO2 Emissions in Somalia
Authors: Hassan Ali Yusuf , Mohamed Mohamed Abdukadir , Ahmed Mohamed Abdirahman , Mohamed Mahad Abdiwali , Osman Bashir Mohamed
Published: November 2024

This research investigates the intricate relationships between agriculture, renewable energy, economic growth, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Somalia from 1991 to 2022. This study uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Granger causality tests to understand their impact on environmental sustainability. ARDL results reveal a negative role of agriculture and renewable energy on CO2 in the short and long term. The country's reliance on fossil fuels and biomass further intensifies CO2 emissions. While economic growth is essential for improving living standards, it positively correlates with CO2 emissions in the short and long term, emphasizing the challenge of decoupling economic development from environmental degradation. Domestic investment has a short-run relation only to CO2 emissions. In Granger causality tests, the results indicated that Agriculture and domestic investment have bidirectional causality to carbon dioxide emissions. On the other hand, renewable energy, economic growth, and domestic investment have unidirectional causality to Agriculture in Somalia, while domestic investment has bidirectional causality to renewable energy and economic growth. The study recommends implementing comprehensive and integrated approaches to prioritize sustainable development strategies, clean energy alternatives, and efficient agricultural practices. Promoting economic growth while also focusing on capacity-building and awareness campaigns is essential. Collaborating with the international community on climate change mitigation and sustainable development initiatives can further support Somalia's journey toward environmental sustainability.

Published: November 2024

In this study, we examined the impact of key macroeconomic variables on the sustainability of tourism in Uzbekistan using open data from the World Bank from 2000 to 2023. The selected variables for the study include the number of international tourists, GDP, CO2 emissions, and exchange rates. Considering the importance of climate issues in ensuring sustainable tourism, the study combines these factors using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to assess their long-term relationships. We chose this model due to its flexibility in dealing with variables of different integration orders. The results of the bounds testing procedure confirm the existence of a long-term cointegration relationship between the dependent variable (international tourist arrivals) and the selected macroeconomic indicators. Specifically, the study results indicate that GDP growth, exchange rate fluctuations, and CO2 emissions positively affect tourist arrivals to Uzbekistan. The findings of this study underscore the importance of infrastructure development and macroeconomic stability in attracting international tourists while emphasizing the need for sustainable international practices to mitigate environmental impacts. This study contributes to understanding the complex interrelationship between tourism development and macroeconomic variables in the context of developing countries and aids decision-making in this area.
The use of the species composition of the soil mesofauna in the diagnosis of anthropogenic contaminated biogeocenoses
Authors:   Kazakh National Pedagogical University named after Abai, Seribekkyzy G.
Published: November 2024

Soil invertebrates are an important driving force behind many basic soil processes, such as the formation of soil aggregates, water retention, and absorption of organic matter. Earthworms, being permanent inhabitants of the soil, play the role of an indicator transmitting information about the state of this environment. In this work, anthropogenic pollution of urban and suburban biogeocenoses was revealed by studying the species composition and abundance of lumbricides. Soil samples were taken from 8 sites in Almaty and the region, physico-chemical parameters were studied. In background and slightly polluted biogeocenoses, the number of earthworms averages 64.6%, and in polluted regions 55.2%. When determining the content of toxic elements in urban and background (natural) biocenoses, four main elements were identified that affect the species and quantitative composition of the mesofauna: lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury. The maximum content of cadmium and arsenic is observed in soils near oil depots: the cadmium content was 0.25±0.0024 mg/kg, and the arsenic content was 2.84±0.05 mg/kg. And in the soil near the thermal power plant of the Algabas microdistrict of the Alatau district, the maximum content of lead and mercury was recorded, which reached 16±0.70 mg/kg and 0.048±0.012 mg/kg, respectively.

Анотація. У статті визначені основні переваги надання електронних державних послуг: запобігання та протидія корупції шляхом відкритого доступу до електронних декларацій публічних управлінців усіх рівнів, доступ до державних органів осіб з особливими потребами, які мають фізичні обмеження у пересуванні та знаходженні у чергах, можливість дистанційного навчання публічних управлінців. Основними недоліками надання електронних державних послуг є нерівний доступ громадян до електронних державних послуг не лише через відсутність комп’ютера або смартфона, але і швидкісного інтернету або інтернету взагалі, ризики вчинення кіберзлочинів та атак на державні сервери тощо. Виокремлено перспективи імплементації світового прогресивного досвіду надання електронних державних послуг, що надали підстави для виокремлення таких рекомендацій, першочергово важливих, зокрема у процесі впровадження проєкту «Цифрова держава» в Україні: адаптувати нормативні акти для реалізації Законів України «Про електронні довірчі послуги» та «Про основні засади забезпечення кібербезпеки України»; закласти основи нормативного і технологічного регулювання для сфери електронної ідентифікації та створити умови легалізації нових технологій; переглянути і погодити списки і зміст електронних довірчих послуг; законодавчо чітко визначити необхідність електронного цифрового підпису як складової електронного документа при реалізації підходу «електронного врядування» та електронної демократії; підтримати постачальників електронних довірчих послуг державної форми власності незалежно від ринкових коливань і тенденцій; розробити узгоджений з європейськими партнерами та всіма зацікавленими сторонами новий план реалізації Стратегії кібербезпеки України. Узагальнено міжнародний досвід у галузі цифрової трансформації та його застосування в Україні. Визначено, що міжнародний досвід у галузі цифрової трансформації (розробка інфраструктури для обробки та обміну даними, розширення спектру електронних послуг, забезпечення кібербезпеки, розвиток інтероперабельності між системами, партнерство з громадськістю та приватним сектором, навчання та розвиток персоналу, вимірювання та оцінку результатів для забезпечення успішної цифрової трансформації) є корисним для України. Передові країни вже показали, як цифрові інновації можуть покращити публічне управління та надання послуг громадянам. Адаптація цього досвіду для українського контексту вимагатиме системної роботи, але це відкриє нові можливості для розвитку транспарентності та ефективності державного управління в Україні, в тому числі в умовах надзвичайних обставин, посилення безпекових викликів та загроз.
Policy Forum: Sailing Beyond the Sunset? Are De Jure Control and Other Bright-Line Tests Relevant After Deans Knight and the New GAAR?
Authors: Ross David
Published: November 2024

This article takes readers on a voyage through the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Deans Knight Income Corp. v. Canada and subsequent cases that apply its interpretation of the general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR). The author draws on metaphors from Greek philosophy and sailing to aid—and lighten—the discussion of the immortality of corporations, bright lines, and the Income Tax Act. The author argues that the majority of the Supreme Court in Deans Knight committed a "purpose error": in applying GAAR, the majority overemphasized subsection 111(5)'s primary purpose of stopping corporate loss trading at the expense of the legislation's other purposes, including providing certainty to public companies with high shareholder turnover. Future cases decided under the amended GAAR may be even more vulnerable to a purpose error. The author then considers whether other bright-line tests in the Act are vulnerable to the same sort of purpose error if GAAR is applied. For example, he examines whether the 30-day time limit in the Act's stop-loss rules could be abused by waiting an extra day to comply with the rule, whether waiting one more day to sell a house could abuse the "flipped property" rules in subsections 12(12) to (14), and whether buying one more share to meet an ownership threshold could abuse part IV or section 113. While each of those strategies could arguably be abusive under the approach taken in Deans Knight, it would be an error to always interpret the rules so broadly. Courts should consider Parliament's purpose in using a bright-line test before applying GAAR, and ask how arbitrary and potentially manipulable the line is.
Implementation of Betulungan on Multiethnic Women in Preserving The Haul Tradition in Samarinda East Kalimantan
Authors: Sunardi  , Rusmawaty Desy , Sultan Muhammad
Published: November 2024

This ethnographic study investigates the Haul tradition's execution in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, emphasising the procedures and challenges of preserving this significant religious and cultural event. The Haul custom- an Islamic observance that pays tribute to esteemed progenitors or saints, is of great spiritual significance; however, it is currently facing contemporary challenges, such as ethnic diversity and generational shifts. Betulungan, a native term that signifies cooperation and communal assistance, is the foundation of the Haul's prosperity in Samarinda. Betulungan's role in fostering collaboration among women from various ethnic backgrounds—Javanese, Banjar, Kutai, and Dayak—who are involved in the administration and maintenance of the Haul is further clarified in this study. The research employed a case study methodology, utilising data collected from five key informants chosen for their substantial contributions to the organization of the Haul within their communities. The neighborhood leader, a critical participant in organising community events, is identified as a key informant because he fosters collaboration and ensures inclusion in this multiethnic environment. The research, conducted through participant observation and exhaustive interviews, illustrates how Betulungan is a conduit for bridging ethnic divides and promoting interethnic collaboration in preparing food, rituals, and logistics for the Haul. The data indicate that Betulungan fosters a collaborative environment where women, regardless of ethnicity, unify to achieve a common spiritual goal, thereby preserving the Haul heritage and enhancing social cohesiveness. In response to the socio-cultural dynamics of a modernizing, multiethnic Samarinda, the Haul heritage has continued to evolve, with the culture of mutual assistance being crucial to its preservation. The research improves understanding of the substantial role those local cooperative behaviors play in conserving cultural and religious traditions among various groups.

Massive Development of Nusantara Capital City in the Perspective of Ecological Politics
Authors: Bangun Immanuel Christwo
Published: November 2024

The development of the Capital City of Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan is one of the most ambitious projects in Indonesia's modern history. Through a Political Ecology approach, this paper highlights how power and political dynamics shape interactions between humans and the environment and influence policies and practices that impact the exploitation of natural resources. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through literature study. The development of IKN is not only influenced by political decisions that often ignore environmental aspects but also by the constellation of government that tends to be authoritarian and unconstitutional. This is reflected in the process of drafting the IKN law, which invited various polemics and questioned its legality. In the end, IKN development has the potential to damage the environment and deepen social injustice due to political practices that are not inclusive and democratic.

INTELLECTUALIZATION OF SECURITY ACTIVITIES OF COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Lviv State University of Internal Affairs, Ravlinko Zoryana
Published: November 2024

COVID-19 and large-scale military operations have given new impetus to the faster transition of commercial enterprises to the e-commerce model. The very process of transformation provokes the emergence of new challenges and risks, with their further implementation into certain threats, which are difficult to counteract due to previously acquired experience. The development of a theoretical basis for the practical implementation of the program of intellectualization of security activities in the conditions of each commercial enterprise becomes relevant. The expected result of such a process should be the strengthening of the mental capacity of the security process participants to generate new knowledge corresponding to the current security situation. In order to find out the content of the process of intellectualization of the security activities of trade enterprises, the following methods were used: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the term “intellectualization”; synthesis and analysis – to take into account the specifics of the activity of trading enterprises; morphological analysis – to clarify the target direction of measures in the course of intellectualization of the security activities of a trade enterprise; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. By clarifying the content of intellectualization and taking into account the specifics of the functioning of trade enterprises, the author’s vision of the process of intellectualization of security activities is substantiated. It has been proven that the intellectualization of the security activities of trade enterprises represents the strengthening of the intellectual activity of the participants of the security process due to the implementation of a set of measures that enable the development of mental abilities for the purpose of generating and effectively applying knowledge, as well as the improvement of the technological base, which collectively contributes to the fulfillment of tasks related to maintaining the economic security of the enterprise at the level necessary for the development and realization of economic interests. The differences of the author’s position are as follows: there is a combination of human and technological components, but the emphasis is on the intellectual activity of all participants in the security process (subjects and objects, internal and external); emphasis is placed on the priority formation and application of knowledge that is relevant at a certain moment; the purpose of using such a tool is specified – maintaining the necessary level of economic security of the enterprise.

Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Ostian Zdenek
Published: November 2024

In the era of digital transformation, international trade in tourism services faces numerous challenges and opportunities. As societies increasingly embrace digital technologies, the dynamics of tourism supply and demand have changed significantly. This article explores the imperatives for the development of international trade in tourism services in the context of an evolving digital society. The key factors shaping this transformation, including technological innovations, changing consumer behavior, regulatory frameworks and current trends, are considered. In today’s digital society, customer experience is important for the tourism industry. The ability to personalize services based on individual preferences is a significant factor in gaining a competitive advantage in the international tourism market. The study highlights the need to implement digital solutions to increase competitiveness, optimize operations and contribute to the sustainable growth of the global tourism industry. As the digital society continues to evolve, international trade in travel services must adapt to new technologies and changes in consumer behaviour. The travel industry is becoming increasingly globalised, with digital platforms enabling companies to reach consumers across borders. To thrive in this environment, travel companies must prioritise digital innovation, adopt marketing strategies and provide seamless and personalised customer experiences. In addition to these strategic imperatives, stakeholders in the tourism industry must work together to overcome challenges associated with digitalisation, such as data security, the digital divide and regulatory inconsistencies. Governments, private enterprises and international organisations should work together to create a framework that supports the sustainable development of international tourism trade. The future of international trade in tourism services is bright, but only for those who navigate the complexities of the digital economy and can take full advantage of the opportunities it presents. By adopting a forward-looking approach and embracing the imperatives of the digital era, tourism businesses can contribute to the growth of a more efficient and inclusive global tourism industry.

Published: November 2024

Yunnan is comprehensively accelerating the construction of China’s own development center for South and Southeast Asia. The Comprehensive Regional Economic Partnership (RCEP), signed by 15 countries, has provided continuous support to Yunnan Province to accelerate the development of cross-border cooperation in agriculture, construction of logistics centers and business development in cross-border regions. The main focus is on the implementation of border innovation, which will make full use of the rules of the RAP to accelerate the development of Yunnan Province, and will become an important part of the new political system for the development of the province, as well as an important milestone of support to achieve various aspects of Yunnan’s economy and society and promote domestic and international development in the conditions of globalization. The further deepening of the reform will lead to the creation of a system of projects to streamline administration, delegate authority and improve services by government structures, as well as further improve standards, streamline procedures and expand external services, so as to create a favorable institutional mechanism for Yunnan to lead the outside world. To this end, the deep territorial integration of Yunnan into the China Pilot Free Trade Zone is already being created and numerous innovative experimental platforms are being launched that will demonstrate the openness of the Chinese economy to the outside world, will provide support for the development of regional institutional mechanisms to build an outward-oriented economy and promote investment, will ensure the protection of property rights, attract technological innovations and deepen economic cooperation. Active study of new cooperation models in the field of free trade, which are compatible with Yunnan Province and coordinated with neighboring Southeast Asian countries, will steadily promote the transformation of Yunnan Province’s openness mechanism to a new model of economic development.
FORMALISATION THE COMPONENTS OF THE INVESTMENT SUPPORT MECHANISM FOR THE RECOVERY OF TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES
Authors:   National Aviation University, Kosenkov Denys
Published: November 2024

The adaptability of investment processes to the requirements and needs of recovery of Ukraine’s transport sector requires formalisation and application of a structural and integrated approach. Structuring the constituent elements of the organisational and economic mechanism of investment allows us to substantiate the vectors of investment and identify the dominant needs for the recovery of transport infrastructure. In the context of the war and post-war recovery, the main sources of investment will be foreign direct investment, targeted lending to economic entities, public-private partnerships and concessions. These forms of investment will play a crucial role in financing large-scale projects to recover and modernise the national transport infrastructure. An integrated approach to the formation of an investment support mechanism for the restoration of transport infrastructure includes measures to substantiate investment attractiveness and create new markets. The integration of managerial, legal, methodological and resource support in the mechanism allows for a comprehensive solution to the problem of investment efficiency. The constituent elements of the investment support mechanism include investment objects, financing entities, management levers, and project implementation principles. Effective integration of these components allows not only to ensure proper financing and project management, but also to adapt investment strategies to modern market requirements and ensure sustainable development of transport enterprises. The author reveals a set of principles, factors and regularities in substantiating the system of elements of the mechanism for investing in the recovery of transport infrastructure. Formalisation of the prerequisites and constituent elements allows for the development of effective long-term financing strategies not only for the reconstruction of Ukraine’s transport sector, but also for the integration of resources, innovations and technologies to ensure competitiveness and profitability.

Currently, the motorcycle population in big cities in Indonesia is increasing very rapidly. Motorcycles are the most popular mode of transportation in Denpasar City. The increase in the use of motorcycles (SPM) has an impact on congestion, air pollution and high traffic accidents involving SPM. This study aims to analyze the increase in the use of SPM in Denpasar City, involving the variables of Household Characteristics, Costs, and Advantages of SPM. Primary data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires, as many as 400 copies distributed throughout the sub-districts in Denpasar City. The questionnaire contains a Likert scale, containing statements, where respondents provide their perceptions through the available answer choices. Analysis of public perception data was analyzed using multiple linear regression statistical methods. Based on the results of the analysis, the variables of Household Characteristics, Costs, and Advantages of SPM have a significant positive effect on the Increase in the use of SPM, each with tcount = 6.110; 6.847; and 7.865> ttable = 1.966; and all sig values. 0.000 < 0.05. The influence of the three variables together is Fcount = 209.162 > Ftable = 0.072. Sig. value = 0.000 < 005. The equation model obtained is: Y = 0.296X1 + 0.294X2 + 0.290X3 + e.

Column is a vertical structural element that functions to absorb axial loads and transfer them to the foundation. The structure of this column consists of reinforcement and concrete which is a combination of tensile and compression resistant materials. The column carries a combination of axial loads and ultimate moments simultaneously. The column must have strength where the strength of the column must exceed the working load. The purpose of this study was to obtain differences in the performance of reinforced concrete building structures using circular and square columns due to earthquake loads. The research method used is a quantitative method with the help of SAP2000 software with nonlinear Pushover analysis. There are two models in this study, namely Model M1 is a square column model and model M2 is a circular column model. The results of the analysis show that the behavior of the structure for lateral deformation in the X direction of the square column is stiffer than the round column, while the lateral deformation in the Y direction of the circular column is stiffer than the square column. This is influenced by the inertia of the cross-section and the number of columns in each direction is different. The forces in the square column are 1% greater, the shear force is 62% smaller and the axial force is 24% greater than the circular column. The square column model with IO performance level has the ability to accept lateral loads and deformations on a larger capacity curve compared to circular columns for X and Y direction earthquakes.
Política exterior, hegemonía y estados pequeños. El caso de los países centroamericanos y bálticos
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Murillo Zamora Carlos
Published: November 2024

Carlos Murillo, doctor en Gobierno y Políticas Públicas por la Universidad de Costa Rica, contrasta la conducta de tres países centroamericanos, con la influencia de Estados Unidos como potencia hegemónica, y la de tres países bálticos, bajo la hegemonía de Rusia. El autor demuestra en esta obra que el análisis de la política exterior no se limita al estudio comparativo, sino que profundiza en las percepciones y las auto imágenes de los Estados, aportando algunos elementos desde una perspectiva renovada. Se rescata la visión gramsciana sobre la hegemonía, para diferenciarla del imperialismo y mostrar cómo los Estados pequeños interactúan con las potencias hegemónicas aprovechando los espacios de maniobra disponibles en foros internacionales, como la Asamblea General de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas.

El Centro Universitario de Tonalá (CUT) es un centro innovador, multitemático y sustentable. Sus acciones están contempladas en el Plan de Desarrollo Institucional 2019-2025 de la Universidad de Guadalajara y la sostenibilidad se volvió un reto desde la creación de este campus. En 2016 se inició un proyecto para que el CUT obtuviera una certificación ambiental y para ello se firmó un convenio con la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Territorial (SEMADET) para que se incorporara al Programa Cumplimiento Ambiental Voluntario (PCAV), cuyo objetivo es fomentar el cumplimiento de la Ley Estatal del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección del Ambiente en Materia de Autorregulación y Auditoría Ambiental. Este proyecto surgió en concordancia con los objetivos del CUT como un espacio detonante de proyectos de investigación y posgrado en temas de agua, energía y medio ambiente, pues este Centro Universitario alberga al Instituto de Energías Renovables, así como el primer huerto solar de la Red Universitaria. Esta obra es el resultado de un proceso de análisis teórico sobre elementos normativos, técnicos y científicos que sustentaron el proceso universitario para lograr la certificación “Líder Ambiental” que finalmente fue otorgada por la SEMADET en 2018; plantea aciertos y áreas de oportunidad con la finalidad de que el CUT siga siendo un semillero para generaciones de profesionistas conscientes y responsables en la conservación de nuestro entorno.

En el marco de la celebración de los 200 años de la fundación de Jalisco como estado libre y soberano, esta obra investiga los orígenes de la primera Constitución jalisciense, explorando los eventos que llevaron a su creación. Comienza examinando las causas que desencadenaron la crisis del antiguo régimen en España y la reacción de las autoridades de México y Guadalajara ante el surgimiento del liberalismo, así como los efectos de la Constitución de Cádiz —de corte liberal— en el ámbito político y social de esta región mexicana. Profundiza la situación de Guadalajara: 1) durante la vigencia de la Constitución española, enfocándose en los elementos culturales de la época, y 2) a raíz de los cambios introducidos por el liberalismo y los factores que impulsaron el movimiento insurgente. Tras estos acontecimientos, se examina la transición del sistema monárquico al republicano federal, destacando la insatisfacción de las élites mexicanas con los decretos de las Cortes españolas y la figura de Agustín de Iturbide. El estudio también aborda la convocatoria del primer Congreso Constituyente local, que se encargó de reformar el sistema jurídico- administrativo para preparar la Constitución de Jalisco. En síntesis, esta investigación ofrece un análisis completo de los orígenes y desarrollo de la primera Carta Magna del estado, explorando las diversas coyunturas que dieron forma a este importante documento.
