Since the signing of free trade deal between two parties in 2010, the Korean public perception of the EU has positively evolved. Both parties initiated a protocol on cultural cooperation under the EU-RoK free trade agreement where particular emphasis was placed on the collaboration of audiovisual sector. The main part of this paper has three sections. The first section refers to EU cultural policy and diplomacy. In order to explain the EU's cultural presence in South Korea, this paper addresses European cultural exports to South Korea and the South Korean perception of the EU. The following part discusses South Korean policy orientation and diplomacy regarding culture. By introducing the statistical data on Hallyu contents export to Europe, one can understand the current situation of Hallyu expansion in Europe. Also, the European perception of Hallyu is included. Since EU cultural diplomacy worldwide still has a national dominance, the following section discusses four national EU cases-France, Poland, Sweden, and Italy-to illustrate the types of EU-South Korea ICR.

Analisando quatro estudos de caso ibéricos, procura-se identificar a diversidade de valores que moldam as decisões e práticas de política cultural, com foco nas tensões e conflitos entre os atores envolvidos e as suas valorações. Demonstrar-se-á que os atores se mobilizam em torno de disputas sobre a hierarquia de valores, o que exige uma compreensão dos contextos em que cada reportório se estabelece, ainda que a conflitualidade se exerça dentro de um mesmo modelo de política cultural, prevalecente nos dois países ibéricos. Palavras-chave: valores, política cultural, administração cultural.

This is done by studying the relationships between the main institutional and economic reforms carried out by France, the UK, Spain and Greece cultural policies between 2008 and 2012 and legitimation narratives used to frame them. Based on literature and documentary review, this comparative case studies analysis addresses cultural policy models, each country cultural systems’ economic power, and continuity and change in policy legitimation strategies. The comparative analysis reveals the importance of the EU centreperiphery
dynamics and historical trends for cultural policy legitimation approaches adopted in changing socioeconomic scenarios.

Illiberal practices framed within these policies include a delegated censorship and several measures based on xenophobic claims. Despite the importance of this phenomenon, the available literature on cultural policies has not adequately addressed it so far. This article proposes a conceptual framework to distinguish these illiberal cultural policies from the ones framed by liberal democracies on one hand and totalitarian regimes on the other end. This conceptual scheme is developed through a qualitative methodology based on a thorough review of the relevant literature currently available, a series of semi-structured interviews with relevant actors and a comparative analysis of the cultural policies developed by the 'populist radical right' governments in Poland and Hungary.

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.

Pero este proceso ha venido frecuentemente acompañado de un distanciamiento entre las lógicas y mecanismos de la llamada ciudad creativa y los de la democracia cultural. Se trataría del relegamiento de los objetivos de desarrollo local, que en muchos casos han aparejado externalidades negativas, como la gentrificación y la tematización urbanas. Desde 2015 los nuevos gobiernos de las ciudades de Madrid y Barcelona han desplegado programas político-culturales enfrentados a dicho modelo, que buscan resituar la participación social y el acceso igualitario a la cultura como ejes prioritarios de acción bajo el paradigma del procomún. Este artículo analiza comparativamente estos proyectos con el fin de comprender sus innovaciones y limitaciones en relación con el paradigma de la democracia cultural.

The return of democracy to Spain in 1978 turned these projects into more horizontal instruments of cultural cooperation. After a process of institutionalization that led to the creation of SEGIB and the establishment of the Ibero-American Cultural Letter in 2006, this multilateral diplomatic system was called into question due to its economic asymmetries and its ideological basis. However, the relative influence of this process in reformulating the system and in creating a shared identitarian discourse within Ibero-America has never been properly weighted, nor has the importance of each actor within this process. This article analyses the multilateral Ibero-American cultural diplomacy in order to understand its recent transformations in terms of the importance of both national power and symbolic hegemony.

The issue provides a wide-ranging overview about the subject. In addition to papers focused on the development of cultural policy in specific countries, it also includes articles analyzing particular cultural policies in a transnational perspective, paying attention to their multiple programmatic transferences. It also includes articles centred on the development of cultural diplomacy and institutional networks within this area. In this way, it intends to highlight the commonalities among countries and the relations between them, so offering a new and deeper vision of the development of cultural policies in the Ibero American region. In this introduction we offer some theoretical keys for analyzing this development, in particular the notion of family of nations proposed by Castle (1993) and we evaluate its applicability to the case and beyond.

Asimismo, el interés por la descentralización cultural y el reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural y nacional ha crecido en paralelo a la importancia de la acción cultural pública de las regiones y las municipalidades. Sin embargo, no se han desarrollado estudios que permitan comparar de forma sistemática la relación entre los modelos de federalismo y los modelos de política cultural de un Estado. Este trabajo persigue cubrir este vacío realizando una comparativa de seis países federales o casi federales que han destacado en su desarrollo de políticas culturales, comparando sus diferentes niveles de autonomía,
gobierno compartido y de reconocimiento de distintas identidades culturales y nacionales.

However, the elements determining the development of unequal models of cultural governance within the same country, and the differential relevance of subnational nationalism in this regard, have not been completely explained. In this article we develop a comparative analysis of the autonomous cultural policies of Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia. Thus, we explain how their models of horizontal governance are determined by common elements, such as the model of public policies, and other specific differential factors such as historical and industrial local heritage and regional identity, where nationalism is specifically relevant.

No obstant això, els factors determinants dels desiguals models de governança de la cultura desenvolupats en un mateix estat i la importància diferencial del nacionalisme subestatal en la seva orientació no han estat degudament explicats. En aquest article establim una anàlisi comparativa d'aquest fenomen a partir dels casos de les administracions autonòmiques de Catalunya, Madrid i Andalusia. D'aquesta manera, expliquem com les seves formes de governança horitzontal s'atenen a factors comuns, com el model estatal de polítiques públiques, i altres de tipus diferencial, com són el patrimoni històric i industrial propi, i el caràcter identitari regional, on la qüestió nacional té un pes específic.

Les diplomàcies culturals, organitzades pels Estats-nació des d'inicis del SXX i estructurades políticament sobre la base d'aquest espai sobirà i imaginat, van buscar estendre la influència dels països mitjançant la promoció de la cultura nacional en l'escenari internacional. En aquest article examinarem, des d´un plantejament proper al d´Anderson, la incidència del nacionalisme en l'estructuració de la governança corporativista en l'acció cultural exterior de Catalunya entre 1980 i 2014.

But there is no consensus on the definition of this governmental strategy. This policy is commonly framed in the concept of soft power: the capacity of persuasion and attraction that allows the state to construct hegemony without using coercive methods. In this article we offer a critical analysis of this theory's limitations to explain this activity. To shed light on this situation we firstly propose a historical analysis of cultural diplomacy. Then, based on this study, we analyze the dominant methodological and conceptual articulation of soft power in cultural diplomacy literature. In this way, we clarify how the logical framework of soft power favors a specific and restrained conception of these policies, narrowing therefore its understanding and legitimating its economic and political instrumentalization.

Esta nueva política cultural ha sido caracterizada como un instrumento de construcción de hegemonía en un sentido gramsciano, pero dicha afirmación no ha sido explicada y la relación de la administración pública de la cultura con los particularismos sociales y la diversidad cultural tampoco ha sido analizada. El presente trabajo examina esta problemática, estudiando continuidad y cambio en la historia de las política cultural argentina y focalizando en el período 2003-2013. De este modo, precisa su particular configuración administrativa, programática y constitutiva durante la década estudiada, donde el paradigma de la diversidad cultural tuvo una relevancia secundaria en relación con el concepto peronista de pueblo.

España a menudo se ha caracterizado como un país ampliamente descentralizado, destacando su rica diversidad cultural y lingüística y su carácter de Estado singular, a medio camino entre el Estado centralizado y el federal, calificándolo a veces como sistema casi-federal. No obstante, en el ámbito de las políticas culturales ¿Es el Estado español casi-federal? El artículo analizará como a pesar del desarrollo ampliamente descentralizado de gestión de las políticas culturales, los recientes desarrollos jurídicos y organizativos de la Administración General del Estado, distan mucho de promover un Estado federal plurinacional y se orientan de forma creciente hacia la recentralización y la simetrización.

A particularly interesting case of this equilibrium arises in Spain; often described as a quasi-federal system, both regarding its model of state and within the sphere of cultural policy. However, we demonstrate that, despite the broadly decentralized development of cultural administration in Spainça plurinational and multicultural stateçdifferent recent judicial and political processes are distorting the quasi-federalism constructed over the past three decades. We also show that there is a growing tendency to recentralize and to promote a single cultural conception of the country.

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.

Esto ha revelado la diversidad de enfoques y la existencia de modelos nacionales y regionales, unas diferencias que han sido explicadas por condicionantes históricos y políticos. Asimismo se ha diagnosticado una tendencia a la difusión internacional de estos modelos. En el caso Latinoamericano, se han realizado en los últimos años algunas compilaciones de estudios nacionales, pero raramente estos estudios abordan la tarea comparativa. En este artículo, intentaremos responder a la pregunta de si existe un modelo sudamericano de política cultural. A partir del estudio de tres países (Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay) defenderemos la hipótesis de que si bien no podemos hablar de un modelo propio del sur del continente y existe una multiplicidad debida a diversas genealogías y al desarrollo de políticas culturales diferenciadas por Estado-nación, si existen algunos condicionantes compartidos y una tendencia hacia la convergencia que prefigura un patrón propio.

Analysts have repeatedly underlined the importance of culture in place branding in globalized economies, where culture can singularize products and assign them greater value. Both foreign and cultural policy have made the international projection of cultural industries a strategic goal, and this has simultaneously transformed the goals and networks of these policies. Although the literature addresses this phenomenon, certain effects of brand policymaking have become evident and require further attention: the simplification of cultural diversity, the elimination of non-coherent characteristics within brands and the limitation of internal dissension and participation. In this paper Spain's nation branding project Marca España (Spain Brand) is critically analyzed as a process of economic and political instrumentalization conducted by large companies who promote a simplified and homogeneous image of national culture.

This volume brings together specialists in the field, from different nations and disciplines, and provides the keys to understanding the different trajectories and experiences of some significant countries in the area on both sides of the Atlantic; the recent developments in this domain such as urban cultural regeneration policies and cultural development policies; and the dynamics of policy transfers such as cultural diplomacy. The book also contrasts the applicability and the explanatory power of the idea of the family of nations for the analysis of cultural policy with models inspired by the welfare regimes. This book allows international researchers an overarching view of the peculiarities and the latest achievements in the field of Ibero-American cultural policy.

Both coalitions were led by Podemos, a left-wing party born in 2014 and initially linked to the "indignados" movement. In this spirit, these administrations boosted a cultural program explicitly aimed at overcoming what was framed as perverse effects of the entrepreneurial approach to cultural policies, including gentrification or the thematization of urban heritage (Pratt, 2011, Scott, 2014, Lewis, 2010). Both cultural policies were characterized by significant contrasts concerning the creative city project, such as the non-construction of new big cultural facilities and the non-organization of new global cultural events (Barbieri, 2018; Rius Ulldemolins and Gisbert, 2018). However, these policies have also shown different limitations when it comes to achieving their social participation and self-management goals (Zamorano, 2018). In this context, some questions arise: Do these cultural policies represent a new model of action in the field? Which would be the distinctive contributions and innovations of this model in comparison to historical communitarian models of cultural policy? This chapter addresses these issues by providing an in-depth documentary analysis of Madrid and Barcelona's cultural policies between 2015 and 2019. In this way, the chapter seeks to delineate the theoretical boundaries between the creative and new redistributive approaches to cultural policies.

Despite the transition to democracy, cultural policies are still interventionist and patronising and interfere with the work of grass-roots cultural initiatives. Using empirical research that spans a decade, Zamorano gives account of the progress that is being made in the sector despite these difficult circumstances by increased training offers and integrating community-based practices, for instance.

This policy has led to forming different sector-based and public-private governance frameworks, that pursue specific identity, social development or business goals. This chapter analyses this complex structural framework, its multiple lines of action and its main digital platforms, from a constructivist perspective to evaluate the capacity of this system to channel territorial needs and demands from the Spanish cultural sector and propose improvement measures in a context dominated by the current global pandemic.

Este capítulo analiza este complejo entramado, sus múltiples líneas de acción y sus principales plataformas digitales, desde una perspectiva constructivista orientada a evaluar la capacidad de este sistema para canalizar las necesidades y demandas territoriales del sector cultural español y proponer medidas de mejora en un contexto marcado por la actual pandemia global.

Por una parte, los sistemas de gobernanza supranacional ejercen una creciente influencia en la agenda, objetivos e instrumentos de la política cultural exterior de los estados. Por otro lado, diversos actores subestatales, como los gobiernos locales y regionales, así como las organizaciones sociales y las redes de cooperación transnacional, tienen un papel mucho más protagónico en la acción cultural internacional. Desde esta perspectiva, las relaciones entre Europa y América Latina y el Caribe han sido escasamente analizadas, aún y su larga trayectoria histórica (marcada por el pasado colonial y las migraciones), el denso flujo de intercambios existentes en los distintos ámbitos culturales, y su gran diversidad (de la difusión artística y el intercambio comercial, a la coproducción de proyectos o la cooperación cultural para el desarrollo). El presente trabajo parte del debate sobre las distintas formas de diplomacia y cooperación cultural internacional para analizar su desarrollo en ocho países particularmente significativos, cuatro europeos (Alemania, Francia, España y Reino Unido) y cuatro Latinoamericanos (México, Argentina, Brasil y Colombia). Al mismo tiempo, examina la reciente articulación de la diplomacia cultural europea, atendiendo a sus cambios recientes, en comparación al menor desarrollo de los procesos de integración regional del lado latinoamericano y caribeño. El texto concluye con una reflexión sobre el futuro de las relaciones y la diplomacia cultural entre las dos regiones y algunas propuestas de futuro.

Different approaches concerning how constructing hegemony through a discourse that opposes elites to the people, are handled by left and right-wing politicians and discussed by citizens on a daily basis. In a globalized world, where communication technologies greater define political struggle, the potential of discourse for shaping social life becomes evident, while post-truth political culture generates a constant overlapping of messages. In this context, culture and cultural policies are turning into fundamental instruments for political dispute both at public and street levels. However, no clear definitions about how public cultural policies are adopting populism as strategic basis or concerning how populism is determining contemporary cultural policies. In this text we offer a conceptual framework for advancing on delimiting the main characteristics of populist cultural policies on the basis of two opposite Argentinian cases, the right-wing administrations of PRO in the city of Buenos Aires and left-wing Kirchnerism in the central government.

Such systems provide invaluable support to border management efforts, but also cause wide-ranging fundamental rights issues.
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.

In the first part of the article, we identify studies addressing the issue of diversity and cultural encounters as a specific cultural phenomenon linked to processes of hybridization in different areas of cultural creation. In the second part of our analysis we identified academic and non-academic literature addressing the issue of diversity and cultural creativity in two specific territorial frameworks: the city and Europe. The contrast between the two types of inquiry -the first one about the more theoretically inspired knowledge and the second one about the more practically and politically connected knowledge- reveal some major gaps and some unexplored potential of the research on the subject.

From the nineties, branding has also been established as a significant area for State governments, giving birth to nation branding. The scenario where extension of business procedures in public policies developed was characterized by the constitution of post-Fordist State and the expansion of transnational capital and neoliberal policies around the world. In this context, place branding policies have usually been carried out by private agencies and, hence, with low social and sectorial participation. In this regard, the relation between branding and a new logic of the State administration were pointed out by theory, and also many studies of image evaluation and descriptive approaches to these policies were produced. However, the consequences of the growing importance of marketing for public sphere, and particularly its relation to cultural policies and cultural diplomacy, have not been correctly analyzed. Likewise, the effects of this power administration model in artistic field, urban spaces and society must be clarified. This session seeks to critically analyze this policy defining the image and the representation of territories as public and common goods. Therefore consider how branding processes affect the deliberative space of local and international cultural policies.

In this regard, equally than in many countries of the region, as part of the “left shift” after neoliberal domination, cultural policies deepened and diversified. Also policies aimed to regional consensus in the defense of native heritage and as part of a particular accent in popular culture were developed. However, the new public activity in the area has been characterized as of construction of hegemony in a Gramsci’s sense, trough the promotion of allied artists, large events and the development of an own media apparatus. This paper analyzes this process studding continuity and change in Argentinian cultural policies seeking to define its character and particularities. We will describe how cultural policies inspired in the Peronist concept of people coexist in tension with a multicultural approach to cultural policy at internal and regional levels.

La proliferación, sobre todo durante los últimos treinta años, de diversas estructuras de política cultural exterior de tipo subnacional en todo el mundo, se explica debido a la reestructuración del Estado postfordista, a la aparición de nuevos actores y al desarrollo de múltiples esquemas de gobernanza multinivel. Sin embargo, la ruptura del monopolio de dicha acción exterior por los gobiernos centrales supone un desafío para el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de representación externa de los Estados. En el caso de España, la profunda descentralización de la administración
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.

Assim, será fornecido um quadro comparativo entre a experiência do Chile, a do Paraguai e a do 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 mo- delos próprios na América do Sul? E quais seriam as características comuns que evidenciariam a nova política cultural na região

Such systems provide invaluable support to border management efforts, but also cause wide-ranging fundamental rights issues. 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.

This is done by studying the relationships between the main institutional and economic reforms carried out by France, the UK, Spain and Greece cultural policies between 2008 and 2012 and legitimation narratives used to frame them. Based on literature and documentary review, this comparative case studies analysis addresses cultural policy models, each country cultural systems’ economic power, and continuity and change in policy legitimation strategies. The comparative analysis reveals the importance of the EU centre-periphery dynamics and historical trends for cultural policy legitimation approaches adopted in changing socioeconomic scenarios.

Cultural diplomacy, organized by nation-states since the early 20th century and politically structured on the basis of this sovereign and imagined space, sought to extend the influence of countries through the promotion of national culture on the international scenario. This article examines, by contrasting Anderson ideas, the impact of nationalism on the organization of a corporatist structure for the governance of Catalan foreign cultural action between 1980 and 2014. catalaBenedict Anderson (1993) va definir nacio com “una comunitat politica imaginada, que s’imagina alhora com a inherentment limitada i com a sobirana” i va incidir en la importancia de les arrels culturals per a la constitucio d'aquesta consciencia nacional.

Esta nueva politica cultural ha sido caracterizada como un instrumento de construccion de hegemonia en un sentido gramsciano, pero dicha afirmacion no ha sido explicada y la relacion de la administracion publica de la cultura con los particularismos sociales y la diversidad cultural tampoco ha sido analizada. El presente trabajo examina esta problematica, estudiando continuidad y cambio en la historia de las politicas culturales argentinas y focalizando en el periodo 2003-2013. De este modo, precisa su particular configuracion administrativa, programatica y constitutiva durante la decada estudiada, donde paradigma de la diversidad cultural tuvo una relevancia secundaria en relacion con el concepto peronista de pueblo.

No obstant això, els factors determinants dels desiguals models de governança de la cultura desenvolupats en un mateix estat i la importància diferencial del nacionalisme subestatal en la seva orientació no han estat degudament explicats. En aquest article establim una anàlisi comparativa d'aquest fenomen a partir dels casos de les administracions autonòmiques de Catalunya, Madrid i Andalusia. D'aquesta manera, expliquem com les seves formes de governança horitzontal s'atenen a factors comuns, com el model estatal de polítiques públiques, i altres de tipus diferencial, com són el patrimoni històric i industrial propi, i el caràcter identitari regional, on la qüestió nacional té un pes específic.

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".
