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.
Download or read book Di logos Taylor Charles y Bernstein Richard con Daniel Gamper written by Charles Taylor and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frente a un mundo en el que imperan los mensajes cortos, la inmediatez y la necesidad de crear sensaciones, la filosofía reivindica meditar sin prisas y pone en tela de juicio los lugares comunes. Como actividad libre, su objetivo no es la persecución del poder, sino la verdad entendida como la línea de meta que nunca se cruza pero que ha de guiar nuestro debate y reflexión. Este atractivo diálogo trata sobre la actualidad de la filosofía y sobre el modo en que las preguntas permanecen a pesar de que cada época las da por canceladas. La filosofía orientada al ámbito de lo público y lo común, nos recuerdan Charles Taylor y Richard Bernstein, nos ofrece un contrapunto en el sistema democrático (ayudándonos así a evitar cierres en falso) y una herramienta para aproximarnos a un horizonte de justicia. Este horizonte como promesa debe articularse en un contexto de diversidad ideológica, étnica, cultural y religiosa, donde el pluralismo de los valores elimine los peajes culturales para acceder a la ciudadanía y no recluya las identidades en compartimentos estancos, sino que promueva la reciprocidad, el reconocimiento y la vitalidad social.
Download or read book Rule of Law and the Challenges Posed by the Pandemic written by Rainer Arnold and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rule of law represents the heart of constitutionalism. Public power can only be legitimately exercised if it is based on and complies with the law. The Constitution and its fundamental values – human dignity, freedom and equality – are the ultimate sources of orientation for the rule of law. Domestic rule of law is complemented by its external dimension, the duty to respect international law and, for EU member states, supranational law. For the World Jurist Association, the realization of the Rule of Law has been the central concern since its founding more than 60 years ago. Its biennial world congresses, which bring together leading figures from politics, the judiciary and academia under the presidency of Javier Cremades, focus on the universal importance of the rule of law, which experts from numerous countries discuss on the basis of current problem areas. At the 2021 World Law Congress in Barranquilla, Colombia, one central topic was the tension between combating pandemics and the rule of law. The contributions gathered here examine how this challenge was met in political-legal practice, and the role of constitutional jurisdiction in the process. They analyze and evaluate the legal situation in numerous countries in Europe and Latin America. In addition, they reflect on fundamental issues, such as the concept of the rule of law, its relationship to democracy, its universal character and its implementation via jurisprudence.

Download or read book Un mundo contaminado written by José Benegas and published by Deusto. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hasta la proliferación de los populismos de derechas, los regímenes que corrompían las reglas democráticas para anular a la oposición y perpetuarse en el poder tenían fundamentalmente signo marxista. Pero el nuevo antiliberalismo nacionalista y ultraconservador, bajo la bandera de la «batalla cultural», le ha arrebatado al chavismo y al socialismo el monopolio del despotismo. El conocido ensayista José Benegas, curtido en la lucha contra los populismos latinoamericanos, desarrolla en este libro la tesis de que el tradicional eje izquierda/derecha ya no permite comprender el actual momento político. Ambos bandos comparten el gusto por los caudillos que destruyen las instituciones, y que tras haber ganado el favor popular en las urnas acaban con los métodos de control a su corrupción, convierten a los poderes legislativos en amanuenses, colocan adeptos en la justicia para blindarse ante cualquier investigación y amordazan a la prensa. Benegas desmonta las trampas retóricas con las que los regímenes populistas, auténticas dictaduras del siglo xxi, instalan el reino de su propia arbitrariedad en nombre de la democracia. Y, al refutar sus presupuestos doctrinales, echa por tierra la legitimidad de los gobiernos que plantean la concentración del poder para mostrarse como salvadores del pueblo. Pero no basta simplemente con exponer estas trampas. Si las prácticas del despotismo populista están triunfando es porque las sociedades están afectadas por una anemia respecto de las ideas de la libertad, la propiedad y el gobierno limitado. Por eso, Un mundo contaminado se propone demostrar que la idea del gobierno como gran benefactor es un mantra a izquierda y derecha que contradice el principio democrático del verdadero autogobierno. Este libro es una contribución inestimable a la causa de la recuperación de la democracia liberal y la institucionalidad perdidas, y del restablecimiento de las bases jurídicas, políticas y éticas de una sociedad libre.
Download or read book Daniel Cos o Villegas written by James W. Wilkie and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las entrevistas que el profesor de la Universidad de California en Berkeley, James J. Wilkie, y su esposa Edna Monzón Wilkie le hicieron a don Daniel en el año de 1964 no sólo constituyen un espléndido ejercicio de historia oral, a medio camino de la autobiografía y de las memorias tanto como del oficio de historiar, sino un material de lectura e investigación ineludible para quien aspire a estudiar con mayor hondura y alcance el periodo histórico en cuestión, al personaje protagonista, y a su trasfondo y paisaje. La entrevista aquí presentada, en edición y notas de Rafael Rodríguez Castañeda, Adolfo Castañón y Diego Flores Magón, formó parte en su origen de una obra de más amplia envergadura, editada hace más de quince años en 1995, en cuatro volúmenes e incluía a otros dieciséis protagonistas de aquella etapa constructiva de la Revolución Mexicana. En el curso a la par simpático y acucioso de este ensayo impecable de historia oral, pautado por las preguntas hechas por los investigadores, va reconstruyéndose el itinerario, los años de formación y de aprendizaje, las ideas rectoras y la génesis de este eminente historiador, investigador, escritor, maestro y creador de instituciones, "caudillo y empresario cultural" (para aludir a las expresiones acuñadas por su biógrafo Enrique Krauze), que fue don Daniel Cosío Villegas.

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.

Download or read book Castrochavism written by Carlos Sanchez Berzain and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commitment of Carlos Sánchez Berzaín with democracy, law and institutionalism in Latin America have made him the most effective and devastating hammer against this kind of regimes that he encompasses under the category of "dictatorships of the 21st century".In this book you will find articles and essays in which he dissects and denounces the abuses of modern dictators: the evolution of the exercise of tyranny that has changed military uniforms for sportswear; the violent and armed pronouncement by populism, and deception to voters, all with the aim of perpetuating themselves in power at the expense of anything, including the commission of crimes typical of the Sicilian mafia. The killing of the separation of powers, the decapitation of Montesquieu, is now taking place --named Lula, Maduro, Morales, Ortega or Correa, always under the guidance of someone whose last name is Castro.I make public the wish that one day Sánchez Berzaín can return to his native Bolivia to take the place that a fighter for democracy deserves. Until that day arrives, let's enjoy your writings and reflections.-Manuel Aguilera, HispanoPost.com

Download or read book Against Elections written by David Van Reybrouck and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small book with great weight and urgency to it, this is both a history of democracy and a clarion call for change. "Without drastic adjustment, this system cannot last much longer," writes Van Reybrouck, regarded today as one of Europe's most astute thinkers. "If you look at the decline in voter turnout and party membership, and at the way politicians are held in contempt, if you look at how difficult it is to form governments, how little they can do and how harshly they are punished for it, if you look at how quickly populism, technocracy and anti-parliamentarianism are rising, if you look at how more and more citizens are longing for participation and how quickly that desire can tip over into frustration, then you realize we are up to our necks." Not so very long ago, the great battles of democracy were fought for the right to vote. Now, Van Reybrouck writes, "it's all about the right to speak, but in essence it's the same battle, the battle for political emancipation and for democratic participation. We must decolonize democracy. We must democratize democracy." As history, Van Reybrouck makes the compelling argument that modern democracy was designed as much to preserve the rights of the powerful and keep the masses in line, as to give the populace a voice. As change-agent, Against Elections makes the argument that there are forms of government, what he terms sortitive or deliberative democracy, that are beginning to be practiced around the world, and can be the remedy we seek. In Iceland, for example, deliberative democracy was used to write the new constitution. A group of people were chosen by lot, educated in the subject at hand, and then were able to decide what was best, arguably, far better than politicians would have. A fascinating, and workable idea has led to a timely book to remind us that our system of government is a flexible instrument, one that the people have the power to change.
Download or read book Democratic Objectivecracy written by Bernardo De Urquidi and published by Bernardo De Urquidi. This book was released on with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you trust the government? Do you feel represented by the politicians inside the government? Do you trust politicians? Do you vote for “the lesser of two evils”? The truth is you do not live in a real democracy. Electoral Representative Democracy is not a truly democratic system, it is oppressive, it concentrates power in a few hands, it is inefficient, polarizing, easily corrupted and it tends to generate either stagnation or dictators. What options do we have? Stay on this oppressive, polarizing, and inefficient system until it breaks apart or a dictator or violent revolution terrorizes our society. Implement a more oppressive and totalitarian system to maintain “order” and ramp up “efficiency”. Implement one of the truly democratic but inefficient systems that have already been developed and applied like direct democracy or sortition democracy. Develop new, efficient, just, and real democratic systems and processes like the Democratic Objectivecracy. What is our best option? The Democratic Objectivecracy: a new social organization system that is truly democratic, participatory, efficient, hard to corrupt, that distributes power equally among all citizens, it incentivizes collaboration and cooperation to achieve societies common objectives, it protects citizens from oppression and abuses of power and it generates new opportunities and freedoms. The Democratic Objectivecracy maximizes organization and citizens' power while eliminating hierarchy and the concentration of power in a few hands. Can we really change the system? Of course! Systems have been changed before and they will continue to change. The real question is not whether or not the system will change but whether it will change peacefully or through violence and whether it will change to be more oppressive or a more just and free system. Do you want real democracy?
