Indigenous autonomous zones, original nations and the local political system. The case of the Kirkyawi ayllu (Bolivia) by Nelson Antequera

“…We show that it is the “community”constructed from its own political system the one that might constitute juridically as “nation” in thecontext of the new Estado Plurinacional. That means that it’s necessary to go beyond the “recognition” ofthe ethnic and cultural diversity to the construction of a political and administrative system that opens thepossibility of the construction of a real indigenous autonomy; that’s to say, to determine the indigenousnations’ own political system, authorities system, the instances of participation and decision making andtheir own legislative practices; in a word, the possibility of self determination. …”

Oscillation Criteria for Even Order Neutral Equations with Distributed Deviating Argument by Siyu Zhang, Fanwei Meng

“…We present new oscillation criteria for the even order neutral delay differential equations with distributed deviating argument [r(t)ψ(x(t))Z(n−1)(t)]′+∫abp(t,ξ)f[x(g(t,ξ))]dσ(ξ)=0,  t≥t0, where Z(t)=x(t)+q(t)x(t−τ). Assumptions in our theorems are less restrictive, whereas the proofs are significantly simpler compared to those by Wang et al. (2005).…”
