dynamics and historical trends for cultural policy legitimation approaches adopted in changing socioeconomic scenarios.
The literature on the governance of cultural policy in Barcelona has revealed different political and social tensions arising from the use of local culture for the purpose of creating a city brand. However, these studies have not focused on the rationales behind this process nor on its implications for the models of local cultural policy in the cinematographic field. With the aim of advancing in the understanding of the modes of relationship between brand and cultural policy, in this article we analyze one of the cultural branding strategies developed by the city: the public activity around the film Vicky Cristina Barce-lona. Through the analysis of political relations and the objectives behind this project, this article reveals the governmental instrumentalization of the city's cultural heritage in order to strengthen and promote a global tourism-oriented brand.

ABSTRACT. The governance of cultural policy, sub state actors and nationalism: a comparative analysis from Spanish case Since the nineties, regional governance has acquired an increasing importance for cultural policies in the developing world. However, the elements determining the development of unequal models of cultural governance in a same country and the differential relevance of subnational nationalism in this regard have no completely explained. In this article we develop a comparative analysis of the autonomic cultural policies of Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia. In this way, we explain how their models of horizontal governance are determined by common elements, such as the model of public policies, and other specific, such as the historical and industrial local heritage and regional identity, where nationalism has a specific relevance.
institutionalization of the cultural paradiplomacy of the city of Barcelona and its local effects. The recognition of the city as an active participant on the international stage is based on its evolution from an industrial to a service economy. Against this backdrop, Barcelona’s city council, in common with many other city authorities operating in the world’s metropolises during the 1980s, initiated its own cultural paradiplomacy as a strategy for attracting capital and promoting local development. This policy became established as part of a new multi-level system of governance. This article analyses the causes of the institutionalization of this activity from an intergovernmental perspective. It concludes that in the context of economic globalization, the emergence of cities’ cultural paradiplomacy is strongly related to the restructuring of the State and its external administration and to the intensification of the “cultural branding” of cities as a tool for global competition.

The persons affected – including both regular travellers and persons who may be in situations of vulnerability –typically do not fully understand the implications of the use of such systems. This report aims to at least partly fill this knowledge gap by analysing the fundamental rights implications of collecting, storing and using biometric and other data in EU IT systems in the area of asylum and migration. The findings are based on socio-legal research carried out by FRA in 2015-2016, which focused on three key instruments in this field, namely European Dactyloscopy (Eurodac), the Schengen Information System (SIS II), and the Visa Information System (VIS).
The fieldwork included qualitative interviews, small-scale surveys and non-participant observations. Eticas Research and Consulting, and the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), supported by a network of sub-contracted partners in six Member States, carried out the fieldwork research on behalf of FRA between January and December 2016. The project coordination was carried out by Dr Gemma G. Clavell and Dr Mariano M. Zamorano on behalf of Eticas and Dr Amparo González and Dr Inmaculada Serrano on behalf of CSIC.
Assim, será fornecido um quadro comparativo entre a experiência do Chile, a do Paraguai e ado Uruguai, em um contexto de possíveis convergências e distâncias de agenda que apresenta cada um desses países no tocante a seus processos e suas arquiteturas institucionais recentes.
Os três casos de política cultural nacional mencionados pertencem a diferentes tradições e reconfigurações desiguais no processo destacado. Nesse sentido, será considerada a relação e as possíveis influências de modelos europeus preexistentes do mundo anglo-saxão e dos órgãos supranacionais. Serão abordadas as seguintes questões: é possível falar do surgimento de modelos
próprios na América do Sul? E quais seriam as características comuns que evidenciariam
a nova política cultural na região?
pública producida desde la transición democrática permitió la paulatina aparición de las paradiplomacias
culturales autonómicas. Este trabajo analiza el desarrollo de la Administración General del Estado y de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña y persigue responder como se configura la actuación cultural exterior del Estado de las Autonomías. En este sentido, plantea la inexistencia de un sistema federal de diplomacia cultural y si, en cambio, una competencia
intergubernamental en la que se oponen procesos de nation building y en el que se disputa el monopolio o la legitimidad de proyectar la cultura en el exterior.

Algorithmic Impact Assessment of the predictive system for risk of homelessness developed for the Allegheny County [Algorithmic Audit]. Available at: https://www.alleghenycountyanalytics.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Eticas-assessment.pdf.
ABSTRACT:
This report shows the results of a project developed by Carlos Castillo, Mariano Martín Zamorano, Giovanna Jaramillo and Sara Suárez Gonzalo (from Universitat Pompeu Fabra of Barcelona and Eticas R&C). The objective of the project is to audit (assess) an algorithm developed by the Center for Social Data Analytics (Auckland University of Technology) and implemented by the Allegheny County Department of Human Services (Pensilvania).
This Algorithmic Audit aims at addressing both the accuracy of an algorithm with regards to its expected outcomes and its potential for discrimination against specific social groups.
The audited algorithm is a decision support tool designed to help prioritize admissions to supportive housing services for individuals or families experiencing homelessness. The tool uses administrative data from Allegheny County’s data warehouse to predict the likelihood of three types of events occurring in a person’s life if they remain unhoused over the next 12 months: a mental health inpatient stay, a jail booking and frequent use (4 or more visits) of hospital emergency rooms. These events serve as indicators of harm if a person remains unhoused. Like the previous assessment tool, the system assigns a risk score that is used as part of the housing prioritization process, but it is far more accurate and equitable and doesn’t require the time or trauma associated with asking sensitive questions at the time of housing crisis.

This report shows the results of a research project entitled This App is not for you: Bias and externalities in police/community interaction tools. The Catalan case.
The main objective of the project was to analyze whether the use of ICT increases or weakens the original purposes of community policing, and it was based on the analisys of the Catalan case. More concreatly it aimed at:
• Identify what technologies community police forces use in Catalonia and describe why, how and for what purposes they use them.
• Understand how the adoption of these technologies affects the governance and internal dynamics of community policing. This includes its impact on the proactive or reactive nature of police action.
• Examine how the use of ICTs shapes the relationship between community policing units and civil society.
• Analyze whether the use of ICTs can harm vulnerable social groups by making social control, discrimination and exclusion dynamics more effective, while hiding their intrinsic nature.
Regarding the methodology of our study, it has three main parts.
First of all we conducted two focus groups with police officers in middle and high ranks and two more with NGOs representing vulnerable social groups, and several interviews with police officers, NGO members and investigative police or journalists.
Moreover, we conducted a survey that was completed by 53 police units out of the 230 local police officers in Catalonia from cities (Barcelona and Terrassa) and some small municipalities.
And thirdly, it was done a Digital ethnography Social network of: the regional police (Mossos d’Escuadra) official Twitter account and various SNS accounts of "neighborhood watch" or "e-watch".
