Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En estos últimos años las experiencias de participación ciudadana se han ido multiplicando en todo el mundo, siendo muchos los gobiernos, sobretodo locales, que en algún momento han optado por aplicar nuevas formas de hacer política, buscando la implicación de la ciudadanía. No hay, sin embargo, textos sobre cómo se está haciendo esa participación ciudadana. O, en otras palabras, ¿cuál es realmente la calidad democrática de estas nuevas experiencias de democracia participativa? En esta obra diversos autores del Institut de Govern y Polítiques Públiques de la UAB, junto con algunos colaboradores de otras universidades, muestran distintos enfoques, metodologías y experiencias para evaluar la calidad democrática de las nuevas prácticas participativas impulsadas por la administración. Partiendo de los distintos debates teóricos y normativos alrededor de tres conceptos básicos (participación ciudadana, calidad democrática y evaluación) el libro ofrece criterios y metodologías para evaluar la calidad de la participación en los órganos estables de participación, en los procesos participativos y en la elaboración de las políticas públicas en general. En base a los resultados de diversas investigaciones llevadas a cabo en los últimos años, los autores profundizan en el análisis de la participación, preguntándose por quién promueve y cómo se coordinan estas experiencias participativas, quién está participando en ellas y quién no, con qué técnicas se están llevando a acabo, qué temas están tratando y, sobretodo, cuáles son sus impactos, es decir, para qué están sirviendo.
Download or read book La calidad de la democracia en Espa a y Chile written by Eduardo Alvarado Espina and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La irrupción en 2011 de movimientos políticos con amplio apoyo ciudadano ¿15M, Occupy Wall Street, Movimiento Estudiantil¿ en países con democracias consolidadas, reabre el debate teórico-empírico respecto al funcionamiento de la democracia tal cual la conocemos. En este sentido, la alta legitimidad social que alcanzan estos movimientos en su oposición a las élites, como sucede en España y Chile, revelaría la existencia de una disfuncionalidad entre representación política y soberanía popular, originada por un deficiente rendimiento de las instituciones democráticas. Esta premisa implicaría que aspectos sustanciales de la democracia, que definen la relación entre élites políticas y ciudadanía, carecen de calidad. Siguiendo la premisa enunciada, esta investigación aborda el estudio de la democracia y su calidad en España y Chile, a partir de dos variables estructurales que se consideran determinantes para establecer la calidad del contenido y los resultados del proceso democrático: la desigualdad social y el elitismo político. Con este objeto, el estudio se centra en explorar los efectos que estas dos variables pueden producir en tres componentes sustantivos de la democracia: igualdad política, pluralismo político y accountability. Aspectos a los que se les confiere un papel articulador de la relación entre representación política y soberanía popular. Para alcanzar el objetivo propuesto, las dos variables explicativas se operacionalizan a través de un modelo multidimensional de calidad de la democracia, que incluye siete dimensiones sustantivas y evaluables. Estas vinculan los procesos y contenidos de la democracia con su entorno societal, y son las siguientes: 1) representación de la ciudadanía en la toma de decisiones; 2) capacidad de agencia o accountability vertical; 3) competencia electoral inclusiva del pluralismo político; 4) mecanismos de democracia directa; 5) soberanía popular efectiva; 6) brecha de desigualdad; y 7) el gasto social como factor igualador. Asimismo, para obtener una visión de conjunto, que no esté sólo restringida a los procesos y contenidos de la democracia, se incluye una variable de control que se identifica con la valoración que realizan los ciudadanos de este régimen político...
Download or read book Political Power in Spain written by Xavier Coller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores why some people become politicians, how they represent citizens in parliaments, and what they think about democracy and its institutions. It analyses the results of the first survey of a representative sample of Spanish MPs (580 cases) and citizens. The study covers areas such as: social profiles; recruitment and selection; women in parliaments; motivation for politics; perception of the representative function and how this is affected by corruption, disaffection and mistrust; national and regional identities; ideology; the functioning of parliamentary groups, and perceptions about the EU. The case of Spain is used to demonstrate how MPs' values, opinions and attitudes conflict and complement with those of the citizens they are supposed to represent. Through a systematic comparison between MPs and citizens, the contributions deal with topics that are key to understanding how democracies work and the role played by MPs.
Download or read book The Iberian Legislatures in Comparative Perspective written by Jorge M. Fernandes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book analyses the development of the legislatures in the Iberian countries over the past 40 years, since democracy was introduced, to comparatively understand their role in these political systems and in sustaining their democratic systems. Sharing many historical developments and institutional characteristics, Spain and Portugal also present crucial differences, notably Spain’s pure parliamentary system, a King as Head of State and a quasi-federal structure, and Portugal’s semi-presidential democracy. Starting with a historical and institutional contextualization of these two legislatures, the book examines the most important organizational and behavioural features of legislative life in Iberian legislatures in a comparative perspective. It also shows how new legislatures develop resilience capacity to support lasting democratic systems as fully fledged institutionalized bodies. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Spain and Portugal, legislative politics and parliamentarianism, and more broadly to European politics and comparative politics, journalists and practitioners.

Book excerpt: Este libro es resultado de un trabajo colectivo llevado adelante por un grupo de investigadores de distintos perfiles, orígenes institucionales y hasta de diferentes edades. La idea que los convocó fue la posibilidad de desarrollar, a partir de la construcción de la noción dominio político, algunos de los ya clásicos problemas tratados por la Ciencia Política. Las cuestiones de orden metodológico, las correspondientes al Estado, la democracia, la representación, la ciudadanía y los movimientos sociales se tomaron como casos testigos del desafío teórico asumido. Estos fenómenos debían ser construidos en sus propias singularidades para ser enmarcados en el cuadro ofrecido por el dominio político como noción devenida en categoría-instrumento.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Diccionario de la Democracia contiene la teoría y la ideología de los regímenes democráticos: sus antecedentes; orígenes; principios; modalidades de deliberación y leyes; sus instituciones clave y variedades, acorde con la clase social que los dirija y el arreglo institucional correlativo. Asimismo compara sus principios, leyes e instituciones con otros regímenes, particularmente con sus opuestos, las oligarquías o gobiernos de pocos, pero también con la república, la tiranía y la realeza; las razones de Estado que permiten su conquista, conservación y estabilidad; las fuentes internas y externas que los amenazan; las maneras de corromperse y las revoluciones que los afectan. Trata también de los usos, costumbres y caracteres democráticos; inventaría los rasgos éticos de la vida democrática, por sí mismos y comprobados con los de los ricos, las clases medias y los tiranos, hasta detallar las relaciones que sostienen entre sí dirigentes y dirigidos, hombres y mujeres, viejos, jóvenes, maestros y alumnos, ciudadanos y animales..., por el impacto que la libertad e igualdad popular tienen en la vida pública y privada de sus pueblos. Parte medular del mismo es la exposición de las doctrinas, dogmas, leyes e instituciones del modelo liberal moderno de la democracia; un credo que se analiza en calidad de justificación del nouveau régime por parte de sus ideólogos modernos más destacados y lúcidos, quienes desvían el significado de las palabras ] democracia ] y ] liberal ] atribuidas sin más a los Estados modernos.

Book excerpt: A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology Series Editor: Jaan Valsiner, Aalborg University This book comes as part of a broader project the editor is developing aiming critically to articulate some theoretical and methodological issues of cultural psychology with the research and practical work of psychologists with Amerindian peoples. As such, the project - of which the present book is part - concerns to a meta-theoretical reflection aiming to bring in new theoretical-methodological and ethical reflections to Cultural Psychology. From this meta-theoretical reflection we have been developing the notion of dialogical multiplication as it implies the diversification (differentiation and dedifferentiation) of semiotic trajectories in interethnic boundaries.
Download or read book Indigenous Political Representation in Latin America written by Adrian Albala and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comparative analysis of the struggles of Latin American indigenous peoples for effective representation in national political systems in the region. Through a detailed exploration of the political dynamics of indigenous groups and examples of mechanisms of political representation, the studies in this book reveal how power relations, cleavages and indigenous civil society organizations are essential to our understanding of indigenous political participation. These studies closely inspect how collective action builds up at local level in grassroots organizations, and how it then articulates or not with larger mechanisms of regional and national political representation, providing a more comprehensive and comparative assessment of why and when representation works and fails for indigenous people. This contributed volume is organized around one general and comparative chapter on indigenous political representation in Latin America followed by eight case studies, divided into three main groups. The first group includes cases with a more inclusive political environment, such as Bolivia, Ecuador and Guatemala. The second group brings together cases with certain representation and/or active indigenous elites: Colombia, Mexico, and Paraguay. Tthe third group presents outlier cases with potential indigenous issues: Peru and Chile. Finally, the last chapter brings together reflections on how mechanisms for effective political representation can be improved and how indigenous organizations can be fostered to ensure effective political representation. Indigenous Political Representation in Latin America will be of interest to political scientists, sociologists and anthropologists studying both indigenous collective action and political representation by presenting a discussion on how to structure representation mechanisms capable of politically integrate the ethnic diversity of Latin American countries in order to build a multicultural citizenship. It will also help policy makers and activists by discussing the successes and failures of effective indigenous political representation in Latin America.

Download or read book Emergency Politics in the Third Wave of Democracy written by Claire Wright and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency Politics in the Third Wave of Democracy aims to make an important contribution to the study of emergency politics by offering an up-to-date study of how it works in practice. Specifically, it studies the uses given to the “regime of exception” mechanism in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru in the first decade of the 21st century and analyzes potential incompatibilities with the two pillars of democratic governability: efficiency and legitimacy. This book offers a thorough review of existing literature on emergency politics, offering conceptual clarification, identifying three types or paradigms of emergency politics (repressive, administrative, and disaster) and pointing to regimes of exception as a useful route to their study. It also provides an overview of emergency politics in Latin America throughout history, pointing to the predominance of regimes of exception and the repressive paradigm. The book describes the continuity of the repressive paradigm in Peruvian emergency politics to deal with both social protest and the apparent threat of organized crime and terrorism, as well as how Bolivia has shifted from a repressive to a disaster paradigm in the face of pressure to deal with climate change. It also analyzes the predominance of an administrative paradigm in Ecuadorian emergency politics in the context of weak institutions and difficulties in implementing policy as well as a populist style of leadership. Ultimately, the book offers some “best practices” in relation to the design and use of regimes of exception in democratic contexts. Other studies on emergency politics tend to focus on legal or formal issues in the context of the United States War on Terror. This study is decidedly political and empirical in focus, offering analysis and interpretation as a result of intensive fieldwork carried out by the author in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Consequently, this volume offers important contributions to our understanding of emergency politics in general (with evidence from the periphery) as well as to our understanding of democratization processes in the Third Wave.
Download or read book Latin America s Leaders written by Rut Diamint and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cult-of-personality or true democracy? The rise of populism worldwide, combined with the overwhelming success of leaders in Latin America, has positioned the region at the forefront of political debate. Conventional wisdom presents this trend as a handful of charismatic individuals leading an ideological challenge to liberal democracy. But can it really be that simple? Based on exclusive interviews with over three hundred politicians – former presidents, vice presidents, current party officials and hundreds more – Latin America's Leaders exposes what the Pink Tide really thinks of its presidents. Arguing that the political styles of leaders such as Hugo Chávez, Rafael Correa, Álvaro Uribe and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are far better explained in the context of their respective countries' party systems, the authors examine political stability through the paradoxical relationship between democracy and the concentration of power in charismatic individuals. This is the definitive guide to the world's most left-wing continent.
