Cyber Millenium

Yet all this interconnectedness city remains the scope of reference of the knowledge society and where there is competition for the global economy. Cities like the territory are no longer the place of a set of resources that can be exploited and transferred without restriction, now the cities are places that affect the competitive ability of the socio-economic system that welcomes. The city has ceased to be a geographic location to be a complex dynamic structure that actively participates in the creation of resources and competences and place where society undertakes new knowledge, which implies that it has to be a centre of strategic management within the framework of a global economy. First thing a city must do is exit on the map, it has to be a point of reference, a pole of attraction to achieve this has having concepts, capabilities and connections. The city has to be quick to anticipate the negative consequences that the rapid diffusion of new technologies may cause that there are imbalances between population centers and other productive activities. The strategy of the city should be the use of resources that provide them with knowledge and their interrelations and the universities are places that can be the basis of such knowledge, but for that the knowledge management must be fluid, must be compatible participation and pluralism represented in the organs of the Universityimprove research and have a better relationship with the society.

Scientific knowledge is not subject to the borders of the countries, with which process innovation and methodological innovation in products, infrastructures that may have a company in a territory determine the technological power of that territory. Changes with extraterritorial effects may be observed in electronic commerce and in telework. There are companies that only sell their products via the Internet, Dell, which also make it by phone and Amazon are two clear examples of this type of companies, being more dangerous competition, direct selling companies because they can provide permanently up-to-date electronic catalogues and more rapid distribution to lower prices. There are authors who defend hybrid system sales by cyberspace and geoespacio will be the triumph. Internet allows you to improve the image of the company’s face to the customer and to the accionitas. Substitute visits and telephone calls by visits to web pages and electronic the mail.

It makes it possible to know you all over the world at a very economical price but that must be a good positioning in the network. Internet seems to promote a better predisposition to the change by managers and workers. It produces a greater openness to new forms of work and labour relations more flexible, which allows teleworking.

Communist decline Italy has a political earthquake. For the first time in its history, none of its 927 congressmen is Communist, Socialist or green. This was the power that was closer to having a Marxist revolution at the end of World War II and the only one in which a Communist Party came to exceed the one-third of the votes. The Italian Communists never wanted to come to power by armed means and were limited to be an eternal and loyal opposition within the system. They were gradually turning to dissolve in social democracy. Veltroni, who directed his newspaper, ended up as Mayor of Rome and unifier of a new social liberal party: Democrat. Those not renounced communism kept some weight but atomizaron in lathe to whether support or not and how the outgoing Prodi government. The pendulum Italian tacks to the right and Berlusconi will leverage this to wanting to do strong changes in his country’s political, economic and migratory system ending with many social concessions before Italy conceded to the Red pressure and of Association.

Delanoe, Veltroni and Livingstone they were, respectively, acaldes them Socialists that have had Paris, Rome and London on almost everything that goes in this Millennium. Delanoe was re-elected in March thanks to the decline of the right-wing President of Sarkozy, but Livingstone may lose the London elections on May 1 due to the discredit of the Labour Government. Veltroni left Roman Mayor to become the candidate of the new party more than Center that left founded in February. In the April 13-14 elections got 33% of the votes (against the 49.8% which was the triumphant Union that formed part in the 2006). Veltroni thought that distancing himself from all pose red and approaching the conservatism of Berlusconi it would favor him, but helped make the right-wing wave bigger.

Livingstone is now with Brown who is still moving away from the old Labour and copying the tories schemes. Such rotation discourages their former voters and is likely to help the Conservatives win to the Assembly of London (and perhaps even the Mayor’s Office). Padanes and cambas Padania is the name the separatists in the North of Italy called the new country that want to establish. In the April 13-14 elections with the Nordic League obtained 20% in Lombardy and 27% in Veneto. So they doubled their votes, but without reaching the high level they had in 1996. Unlike the pro-independence Catalan, Basque, Welsh, or Scottish League is anti European, conservative on economic and social and very hostile to immigrants from poor areas of their country and, especially, to the third world (proposing even to deport or detain in fields many of them). Today this has become the greatest ally of Berlusconi who will push more to the right. His preaching will inspire other autonomist movements that fight leftist Governments in South America (as in the Bolivian Crescent or in Zulia, Venezuela). Like the Nordic League many nationalists cambas pose to unite various regions of his country to go towards greater autonomy or secession, trim the internal immigration and promote a more monetarist economics.
