Recently, the tenth anniversary of the current Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions was celebrated. In them, the influence of the core ideas of the Andean Neoconstitutionalism is evident. This paper tries to look for the differences between the Andean Neoconstitutionalism and the Spanish Constitutionalism, finding the justification in alternative and creative solutions that the production of Andean theory has proposed to legal and political problems shared with Spain. This article created by legal comparative and interdisciplinary methodologies may not only raise legal interest but also political. The first argument is about the paradox between law and politics with the Andean Neoconstitutionalism. Second, I describe concisely the concept ofpluriversality that allow us to detach ourselves from Eurocentric bias. Finally, I compare the fundamental aspects of the Andean Neoconstitutionalism and the Liberal European Constitutionalism - Plurinationalism, Multiculturalism, Interlegality and Nature-. We will conclude that in spite of the great differences between indigenous cosmovision and European Christian tradition, there are several important similarities between our national problematics, especially in plurinational, multicultural and interlegal issues. Although, a priori it seems impossible to implement the Andean ideas into the Spanish society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with the organisation and realisation of South American migrant football leagues and so-called Small World-Championships for migrants in Spain in recent years. We start from a practical (habitus) and poststructuralist perspective that emphasizes the role of discourse and power in the production of social order. The aim is to analyse narratives and practices of all social groups involved in the organisation of migrant football. We are particularly interested in migrants' utterances and how they strategically appropriate the dominant language in order to legitimate their positions, self-represent themselves according to their interests and make public their demands. For this reason, a comparative and multi-local research has been undertaken in Madrid, Seville, Malaga and Granada applying an ethnographic approach/participant observation and interviews with players, organisers and experts of migrant football leagues and championships.

This paper will answer two questions: how young Uruguayan immigrants in Barcelona have integrated to their new country of destiny?, and how they relate to their country of origin living overseas? The general conclusions, influenced by the theories of transnationalism and multiculturalism, suggest that a significant number of Uruguayan immigrants in Barcelona develop integration strategies in their new country as they recreate in a parallel way their Uruguayan identity and their sense of belonging to the old homeland. In this process they conform a new hyphenated identity, which enables them to build solid bridges between the Uruguayan nation living inside and outside borders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mobility is a human dimension that has been a part of human behaviour since humanity began. However, the actual exodus of impoverished people to the more opulent zones of the planet represents new challenges that need to be explored with new perspectives and approaches. Liberation psychology can assist in answering these challenges. On one hand, it permits an explanation of displaced people and poor immigrants' human suffering in terms of the life experiences oppressively imposed on them by other human groups as a means to maintain privileges. On the other hand, it allows knowing how immigrants confront and overcome unjust conditions, destroy their position as oppressed, strengthen bonds with other groups, and carry out actions as a means to forge cohesion and cooperation in the contexts of reception and to achieve equitable multicultural international relations. This paper describes the initiatives that we have achieved in CESPYD for the purpose of studying these aspects in depth. First we discuss the difficulties that the dominant perspective of acculturation psychology poses in tackling the challenges that new migration represents. Additionally, we suggest liberation psychology as an adequate focus to complete a traditional perspective. Furthermore, we redefine concepts of integration and cultural competency as processes of psychopolitical empowerment and the community-based organizations and health organizations as empowering community settings. Finally, this paper proposes some research directions that can broaden its focus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
