Spanish term

territorialidad

Spanish to English Art/Literary Government / Politics Journalism
From a Spanish magazine:

El trabajo de la cooperación desde el terreno, aporta una voz realista y concreta en un periodo en el que se aceleran los cambios, se transforman los conceptos y nacen nuevos paradigmas.

Frente a ello resulta evidente que la Cooperación Española cuenta con unas señas de identidad claras que se intensifican cuando ese trabajo se concreta en el terreno.

Uno de los rasgos más destacables es la territorialidad, se trabaja con una presencia directa, que se concreta en procesos de acompañamiento tanto a las comunidades como a las instituciones públicas

Wil Hardman (X) (asker) Jan 2, 2008:
Hi Liz, I agree references you have found do use territorialism in a negative way- I based my decision on the dictionary definition (below), which I don't think has implicitly negative connotations. However, the evidence you have provided seems pretty convincing- does proz let me change my mind?
ter·ri·to·ri·al·ism (tr-tôr--lzm, -tr-)
n.
1. A social system that gives authority and influence in a state to the landowners.
2. A system of church government based on primacy of civil power.

In my mind "territorialism" has never meant empowering the community, it is exactly the opposite as this causes fear and insecurity ;) For what it's worth..
liz askew Dec 31, 2007:
And I really don't think that the "Cooperación Espanola" would be in favour of "territorialism"..

Wil

It is not up to Proz to decide what you put in your translation, so if you wish to change your mind, you just amend your own translation....as for the glossary entry, well you just change it if that is what you think is the correct thing to do. It is your decision. In any case, I just wanted the evidence I have sent you to be taken into consideration, seriously.
