Book excerpt: Abstract: Las transformaciones sociales en América Latina han generado nuevos fenómenos que los discursos políticos dominantes, pero también parte de las ciencias sociales, no consiguen expresar o bien buscan ocultar. Para ejemplificar estos fenómenos el artículo analiza: 1) la emergencia de nuevos poderes de veto sobre el sistema democrático, distantes de las formas en que se expresaban tradicionalmente; 2) la celebración del surgimiento de "nuevas clases medias", que indican que la región sufrió cambios profundos en su estructura social, pero que confunde un conglomerado estadístico con una categoría social en realidad fragmentada, con dificultades de encontrar una expresión política propia; 3) el debate sobre la regulación de los medios de comunicación, donde argumentamos que por detrás del debate legítimo sobre la necesidad de una acción pública en este sector se esconden dinámicas complejas e intereses poco democráticos, tanto de gobiernos como de empresas; 4) los partidos políticos y l

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante años, la política subnacional se mantuvo en las sombras de la indagación teórica y empírica de la Ciencia Política. Los fenómenos a estudiar pertenecían eminentemente al ámbito nacional y los factores explicativos también se correspondían con esta escala geográfica. Los procesos de descentralización, impulsados principalmente por las reformas pro-mercado, revitalizaron la política local y la conectaron de manera significativa a las dinámicas nacionales. Este libro es un intento exploratorio de relevar las relaciones de lo local con la política nacional en los sistemas de partidos multinivel de diez países latinoamericanos. A través de diversos análisis de la competencia electoral, se investiga los niveles subnacionales más importantes de los casos bajo estudio y su congruencia con la competencia nacional. Del mismo modo, se identifica a las organizaciones partidarias más relevantes, tanto tradicionales como no tradicionales, y se las vincula con las características de la competencia electoral. Del cruce de estas variables se construye una tipología de sistemas de partidos multinivel que permiten clasificar a los casos de manera dinámica dando cuenta de la competencia política a través del territorio. Los tipos resultantes agrupan casos que a primera vista son muy diferentes entre sí (federales y unitarios, grandes y pequeños, con distintos niveles de desarrollo) pero que comparten trayectorias y características relevantes en su vinculación nacional-subnacional por medio de los partidos y la competencia electoral. El libro encuentra evidencia de una relación asimétrica entre la congruencia sistémica y el predominio de partidos tradicionales, donde no hay casos que presenten patrones nacional-subnacionales congruentes y predominen partidos no tradicionales. El análisis histórico fortalece la hipótesis de que los casos de predominio de partidos no tradicionales fueron precedidos por patrones crecientes de incongruencia nacional-subnacional. Este descubrimiento amplía nuestro conocimiento de las transformaciones en los sistemas de partidos y sugiere la relevancia de incorporar dinámicas subnacionales a los estudios de política nacional.

Download or read book Civil Society and Political Representation in Latin America 2010 2015 written by Adrián Albala and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents in-depth analyses of the wave of political protest and unrest that spread throughout Latin America between 2010 and 2015 in order to answer a question that has been challenging social scientists all over the region: why some countries have faced a divorce between their social movements and political parties while others have not? The contributions gathered in this volume intend to show that the logic of political representation in Latin America and its supposed “crisis” is not a common and constant feature for all region. Some countries like Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico seem to have experienced a process of autonomization of its social movements vis-à-vis its institutional political system. However, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay have not seen such a split between civil society and the political parties. Bringing together eight case studies of the countries mentioned and a general assessment of the situation in the whole region, this book presents some interesting findings that will contribute to the discussions about the political representation crisis in Latin America, providing valuable resources for political leaders, researchers, policy makers and social activists in the region.
Download or read book Urban Policy in Latin America written by Michael Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the impact of 20 years of urban policies in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.
Download or read book Modernization Urbanization and Development in Latin America 1900s 2000s written by Arturo Almandoz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Arturo Almandoz places the major episodes of Latin America’s twentieth and early twenty-first century urban history within the changing relationship between industrialization and urbanization, modernization and development. This relationship began in the early twentieth century, when industrialization and urbanization became significant in the region, and ends at the beginning of the twenty-first century, when new tensions between liberal globalization and populist nationalism challenge development in the subcontinent, much of which is still poverty stricken. Latin America’s twentieth-century modernization and development are closely related to nineteenth-century ideals of progress and civilization, and for this reason Almandoz opens with a brief review of that legacy for the different countries that are the focus of his book – Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela – but with references to others. He then explores the regional distortions, which resulted from the interaction between industrialization and urbanization, and how the imbalance between urbanization and the productive system helps to explain why ‘take-off’ was not followed by the ‘drive to maturity’ in Latin American countries. He suggests that the close yet troublesome relationship with the United States, the recurrence of dictatorships and autocratic regimes, and Marxist influences in many domains, are all factors that explain Latin America’s stagnation and underdevelopment up to the so-called ‘lost decade’ of 1980s. He shows how Latin America’s fate changed in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, when neoliberal programmes, political compromise and constitutional reform dismantled the traditional model of the corporate state and centralized planning. He reveals how economic growth and social improvements have been attained by politically left-wing yet economically open-market countries while others have resumed populism and state intervention. All these trends make up the complex scenario for the new century – especially when considered against the background of vibrant metropolises that are the main actors in the book.

This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of the Journal of Latin American Theology addresses several themes: we continue our up-to-date analysis of Christianity in each country in Latin America; we examine how a Christian community in Central America is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic; and we celebrate the life and ministry of Juan Stam, a giant of a man and in uential member of the FTL who passed into the presence of the Lord on October 16, 2020.

Tomás Gutiérrez describes the evangelical church in Peru with an eye toward the impact of the coronavirus in the country, and Heidi Michelson and the sisters and brothers of Casa Adobe in Costa Rica share how they walk with God and serve their neighbors in the midst of the pandemic. This volume closes with two samples of theopoetry that re ect on different aspects of the Christian faith in quarantine and a book review of David Kirkpatrick’s A Gospel for the Poor.
Download or read book From Extractivism to Sustainability written by Henry Veltmeyer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how extractive capitalism has developed over the past three decades, what dynamics of resistance have been deployed to combat it, and whether extractivism can ever be transformed into being a part of a progressive development path. It was not until the 20th century that the extraction of natural resources and raw materials took on a decidedly capitalist form, with the global north extracting primary commodities from the global south as a means of capital accumulation. This book investigates whether extractivism, despite its well-documented negative and destructive socioenvironmental impacts and the powerful forces of resistance that it has generated, could ever be transformed into a sustainable post-development strategy. Drawing on diverse sectoral forms of extractivism (mining, fossil fuels, agriculture), this book analyses the dynamics of both the forces of resistance generated by the advance of extractive capital and alternate scenarios for a more sustainable and liveable future. The book draws particularly on the Latin American experience, where both the propensity of capitalism towards crisis and the development of resistance dynamics to ‘extractive’ capital have had their greatest impact in the neoliberal era. This book will be of interest to researchers and students across development studies, economics, political economy, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, and Latin American affairs.

Download or read book Welfare and Social Protection in Contemporary Latin America written by Gibrán Cruz-Martínez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social protection serves as an important development tool, helping to alleviate deprivation, reduce social risks, raise household income and develop human capital. This book brings together an interdisciplinary team of international experts to analyse social protection systems and welfare regimes across contemporary Latin America. The book starts with a section tracking the expansion of social assistance and social insurance in Latin America through the state-led development era, the neoliberal era and the pink-tide. The second section explores the role played by local and external actors modelling social policy in the region. The third and final section addresses a variety of contemporary debates and challenges around social protection and welfare in the region, such as gender roles and the empowerment of CCT beneficiaries, and welfare provision for rural outsiders. The book touches on key topics such as conditional cash transfer programmes, trade union inclusionary strategies, transnational social policy, state-led versus market-led welfare provision, explanatory factors in the emerging dualism of social protection institutions, social citizenship rights as a consequence of changing social policy architecture and different poverty reduction strategies. This interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to economists, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and historians working on social protection in Latin America, or interested in welfare systems in the global south.
