Download or read book Incomplete Democracy written by Manuel Antonio Garretón and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2004-07-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Latin America's leading sociologists, Manuel Antonio Garreton explores contemporary challenges to democratization in Latin America in this work originally published in Spanish in 1995. He pays particular attention to the example of Chile, analyzing the country's return to democracy and its hopes for continued prosperity following the 1973 coup that overthrew democratically elected president Salvador Allende. Garreton contends that the period of democratic crisis and authoritarian rule that characterized much of Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s was symptomatic of a larger breakdown in the way society and government worked. A new era emerged in Chile at the end of the twentieth century, Garreton argues--an era that partakes of the great changes afoot in the larger world. This edition updates Garreton's analysis of developments in Chile, considering the administration of current president Ricardo Lagos. The author concludes with an exploration of future prospects for democracy in Latin America.
Download or read book A Post Neoliberal Era in Latin America written by Nehring, Daniel and published by Bristol University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Ongoing conflicts between neoliberal and post-neoliberal politics have resulted in growing social instability in Latin America. This book explores the cultural dynamics of neoliberalism and anti-neoliberal resistance in Latin America as a complex set of interrelated cultural forms, examining the ways in which neoliberalism has transformed public discourses of self and social relationships, popular cultures and modes of everyday experience. Contributors from an international range of different disciplinary perspectives look at how Latin Americans construct subjectivities, build communities and make meaning in their everyday lives in order to analyse the discourses and cultural practices through which a societal consensus for the pursuit of neoliberal politics may be established, defended and contested.

Download or read book Popular Sovereignty and Constituent Power in Latin America written by Emelio Betances and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines a bottom-up and top-down approach to the study of social movements in relationship to the development of constituent and constituted power in Latin America. The contributors to this volume argue that the radical transformation of liberal representative democracy into participative democracy is what colours these processes as revolutionary. The core themes include popular sovereignty, constituted power, constituent power, participatory democracy, free trade agreements, social citizenship, as well as redistribution and recognition issues. Unlike other collections, which provide broad coverage of social movements at the expense of depth, this book is of thematic focus and illuminates the relationships between rulers and ruled as they transform liberal democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La serie de reformas políticas crearon y fortalecieron las instituciones electorales mexicanas que lejos de consolidad la democracia con la aceptación de los resultados electorales han llevado a conflicto postelectorales mayores. El quiebre de los vínculos democráticos entre candidatos derrotados e instituciones y la grieta entre medios de comunicación, partidos y ciudadanos ha sido alimentada no solo por el incumplimiento al apego a las normas democráticas sino por las denuncias - infundadas la mayor parte de ellas - de inequidad y manipulación.

Este libro representa la culminación de los esfuerzos de la brillante carrera del autor para entender el proceso de transición y la consolidación democrática de México. Ciertamente será leído por todos aquellos que quieren entender los entramados del poder y su vinculación con los medios de comunicación.
Download or read book Fixing Democracy written by Javier Corrales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of institutions, a core concept in comparative politics, has produced many rich and influential theories on the economic and political effects of institutions, yet it has been less successful at theorizing their origins. In Fixing Democracy, Javier Corrales develops a theory of institutional origins that concentrates on constitutions and levels of power within them. He reviews numerous Latin American constituent assemblies and constitutional amendments to explore why some democracies expand rather than restrict presidential powers and why this heightened presidentialism discourages democracy. His signal theoretical contribution is his elaboration on power asymmetries. Corrales determines that conditions of reduced power asymmetry make constituent assemblies more likely to curtail presidential powers, while weaker opposition and heightened power asymmetry is an indicator that presidential powers will expand. The bargain-based theory that he uses focuses on power distribution and provides a more accurate variable in predicting actual constitutional outcomes than other approaches based on functionalism or ideology. While the empirical focus is Latin America, Fixing Democracy contributes a broadly applicable theory to the scholarship both institutions and democracy.
