This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hoy por hoy la democracia parece ser el estado «natural» de los sistemas políticos en América Latina. Aunque muchos presenten deficiencias importantes en diferentes aspectos, desde hace tres décadas los Gobiernos de la región, excepto Cuba, son conformados a través de elecciones razonablemente libres y competitivas. Si bien es innegable que la práctica regular de elecciones competitivas no es suficiente para calificar a un régimen político como democrático, también es indiscutible que la democracia no puede existir sin que los Gobiernos tengan origen popular mediante elecciones. En ese sentido, las elecciones libres y competitivas son la esencia de la democracia. En el presente volumen se abordan los comicios celebrados entre 2013 y el primer trimestre de 2017, en los dieciocho países de la región, profundizando en el contexto político y económico en el que se celebraron estos comicios y las normas que conforman los respectivos marcos legales, al tiempo que se subrayan las transformaciones acaecidas en los respectivos sistemas de partidos a lo largo de las últimas décadas. Si bien se trata de un libro basado en la realización de estudios de caso, su concepción es la de un estudio comparado de los procesos electorales acaecidos a lo largo de un lustro. La visión comparada se proyecta en el guion común seguido en cada trabajo y en el uso de los conceptos que traducen las diferentes mediciones habituales en la ciencia política del comportamiento electoral y se condensa en el capítulo final, que analiza los patrones de alternancia en la región y su relación con la democracia.

Download or read book Cambio pol tico desafecci n y elecciones en Am rica Latina written by María Isabel Wences Simon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Entre 2012 y 2014 han tenido lugar en América Latina 14 elecciones presidenciales. Con excepción de Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua y Perú, todos los países de la región han tenido un proceso electoral presidencial que, en la mayoría de los casos, ha supuesto un cambio importante en la política del país, con el consiguiente impacto en el conjunto de la región. En el libro que ahora presentamos se analiza el cambio político a la luz de los resultados electorales en el contexto de la situación política, económica y social en que se han desarrollado los comicios en los respectivos países. Se trata de entender cómo los resultados se han visto afectados por el sistema de partidos, el régimen de gobierno, la conformación de alianzas o coaliciones, el sistema y el comportamiento electoral, la confianza en las instituciones y la desafección. Más allá de estos elementos básicos, los seminarios -reflejados ahora en los distintos capítulos del libro- pretendían explorar la cercanía o lejanía de los ciudadanos a la política y los políticos, la aparición eventual de crisis institucionales y todos aquellos elementos que ponen de manifiesto el estado de la democracia y su calidad en cada uno de los países considerados. En definitiva, esta obra colectiva pretende dibujar el nuevo mapa político de América Latina tras este ciclo electoral" (ed.)

Book excerpt: Diecisiete países de América Latina han celebrado procesos electorales desde mediados del año 2020 hasta finales de 2023. En esta obra colectiva se abordan dichos comicios con un capítulo por país más una introducción y unas conclusiones con perspectiva comparada. En este intenso ciclo electoral hay dos elementos de carácter global que incidieron sobremanera como son la pandemia de la COVID-19 y, posteriormente, la guerra en Ucrania. Estos dos explosivos acontecimientos se sumaron a una serie de fenómenos que ya estaban marcando el panorama sociopolítico de la región como la emigración, el cambio climático, las redes sociales, la equidad de género o el auge de noticias falsas en escenarios políticos cada vez más polarizados y con algunas democracias en pleno proceso de erosión. La otra gran tendencia latinoamericana de los últimos años, muy presente en la obra, es la alternancia electoral presidencial, una suerte de giro a la oposición. Así, la exitosa superación de la COVID-19, la centralidad de las elecciones como principal mecanismo para canalizar el conflicto en la gran mayoría de países, la recurrente polarización en torno a ejes de confrontación nuevos y el giro a la oposición constituyen un hilo conductor de la presente obra. --

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen aborda el análisis de los procesos electorales de ámbito presidencial y legislativo celebrados en América Latina en el bienio 2014-2105. Se trata de elecciones celebradas en once países cuyo estudio se desarrolla en igual número de capítulos. Se cubren comicios simultáneos a ambas instancias en Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panamá y Uruguay. En El Salvador y en Colombia, aunque se celebraron en tiempos distintos, ambos tipos de comicios se consideran en el mismo capítulo; allí, las presidenciales precedieron a las legislativas con un año de diferencia en el primer país y las legislativas antecedieron por tres meses a las presidenciales en el segundo. Se recogen también en capítulos independientes las elecciones únicamente legislativas de México y Venezuela. Si bien el criterio temporal siempre puede calificarse de caprichoso en este caso sigue la preocupación iniciada hace ocho años de dar cumplida cuenta del acontecer electoral en la región, en el ámbito de los dos poderes representativos del Estado por excelencia. En efecto, este volumen da continuidad a anteriores trabajos. El bienio aquí analizado da cabida a un nivel promedio de elecciones presidenciales, si se tiene en cuenta el acumulado en la región desde hace 30 años, por lo cual es representativo del quehacer político latinoamericano. Así, la Tabla 1 recoge las 117 elecciones presidenciales que se han llevado a cabo en la región entre 19861 y 2015 cuyo resultado no fue cuestionado; su media es de cuatro procesos electorales por año y aquí el número de elecciones que se recogen son nueve.

Download or read book The Politics of Patronage Appointments in Latin American Central Administrations written by Francisco Panizza and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although merit system selection and management of public personnel is thought of as the standard for good governance, public employees frequently are appointed by political officials rather than being members of a career civil service. In fact, there has been an increase in the level of patronage appointments and politicization of public administration over the past several decades as political leaders attempt to impose their control over the public bureaucracy. Although widespread, patronage appointments in the public sector are particularly important in Latin America, where there is a tradition of extensive patronage. The Politics of Patronage Appointments in Latin American Central Administrations seeks to understand the motivations of patrons when they make appointments, the roles appointees play, the skills required to play these roles, and what accounts for different modalities of patronage. It moves beyond the conventional condemnation of patronage to examine the multiple uses of political appointments, which can be crucial for obtaining the services of highly qualified individuals who otherwise might not be willing to work in the public sector.

Download or read book A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power written by Julio F. Carrión and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between populism and democracy is contested among scholars. While some propose that populism is inherently harmful for democracy because it is anti-pluralist and confrontational, others argue that populism can reinvigorate worn-out democracies in need of greater popular participation. In A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power, Julio F. Carrión advances this debate by examining the empirical relationship between populism in power and democracy. Does populism in power always lead to regime change, that is, the demise of democracy? The answer is no. The impact of populism on democracy depends on the variety of populism in power: the worst outcomes in democratic governance are found under unconstrained populism. Carrión presents the permissive and productive conditions for why and how populism becomes unconstrained, as well as a dynamic theory of change that shows how the late victories of populists build on early ones, resulting in greater power asymmetries. A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power provides an analysis of five Latin American populist presidencies, all located in the Andes. In four of them (Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela), populism became unconstrained and regime change followed. In one case, Colombia, populism in power was successfully contained and democracy survived. The concluding chapter places the Andean cases in comparative perspective and discusses how unconstrained populism in other cases (Nicaragua and Hungary) also led to the end of electoral democracy. Where populism in power was constrained (Honduras and the United States), regime change did not materialize. Carrión advances a theory of populism in power that helps us understand how democracies transition into non-democracies. To that extent, the book illuminates the processes of democratic erosion in our time.

Download or read book Trouble with Democracy written by Rosich Gerard Rosich and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western political thought has long maintained that democracy, once achieved, is here to stay. This view appears to be supported by successive 'waves of democratisation' across the world but, in truth, the political situation of our time is much more ambiguous. On the one hand, the commitment to democracy seems to be more widely shared than ever; on the other, popular will has ever less impact on political decisions because of alleged constraints in an era of 'globalisation'. Existing democracies suffer from a combination of technocratic governance and populist reactions. Global political communication has foundered with addressing urgent problems such as climate change, global social justice and economic-financial crises. By placing political condition of our time in its long-term historical context, this book radically reconsiders key issues of political thought and gives you a comparative exploration of the current experiences of democracy in several world-regions.

Download or read book Democracy without Parties in Peru written by Omar Sanchez-Sibony and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth look into key political dynamics that obtain in a democracy without parties, offering a window into political undercurrents increasingly in evidence throughout the Latin American region, where political parties are withering. For the past three decades, Peru has showcased a political universe populated by amateur politicians and the dominance of personalism as the main party–voter linkage form. The study peruses the post-2000 evolution of some of the key Peruvian electoral vehicles and classifies the partisan universe as a party non-system. There are several elements endogenous to personalist electoral vehicles that perpetuate partylessness, contributing to the absence of party building. The book also examines electoral dynamics in partyless settings, centrally shaped by effective electoral supply, personal brands, contingency, and iterated rounds of strategic voting calculi. Given the scarcity of information electoral vehicles provide, as well as the enormously complex political environment Peruvian citizens inhabit, personal brands provide readymade informational shortcuts that simplify the political world. The concept of “negative legitimacy environments” is furnished to capture political settings comprised of supermajorities of floating voters, pervasive negative political identities, and a generic citizen preference for newcomers and political outsiders. Such environments, increasingly present throughout Latin America, produce several deleterious effects, including high political uncertainty, incumbency disadvantage, and political time compression. Peru’s “democracy without parties” fails to deliver essential democratic functions including governability, responsiveness, horizontal and vertical accountability, or democratic representation, among others.

Download or read book Party System Collapse written by Jason Seawright and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most party systems are relatively stable over time. Yet in the 1980s and 1990s, established party systems in Peru and Venezuela broke down, leading to the elections of outsider Alberto Fujimori and anti-party populist Hugo Chavez. Focusing on these two cases, this book explores the causes of systemic collapse. To date, scholars have pointed to economic crises, the rise of the informal economy, and the charisma and political brilliance of Fujimori and Chavez to explain the changes in Peru and Venezuela. This book uses economic data, surveys, and experiments to show that these explanations are incomplete. Political scientist Jason Seawright argues that party-system collapse is motivated fundamentally by voter anger at the traditional political parties, which is produced by corruption scandals and failures of representation. Integrating economic, organizational, and individual considerations, Seawright provides a new explanation and compelling new evidence to present a fuller picture of voters' decisions and actions in bringing about party-system collapse, and the rise of important outsider political leaders in South America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than thirty years have passed since Latin America began the arduous task of transitioning from military-led rule to democracy. In this time, more countries have moved toward the institutional bases of democracy than at any time in the region’s history. Nearly all countries have held free, competitive elections and most have had peaceful alternations in power between opposing political forces. Despite these advances, however, Latin American countries continue to face serious domestic and international challenges to the consolidation of stable democratic governance. The challenges range from weak political institutions, corruption, legacies of militarism, transnational crime, and globalization among others. In the second edition of Latin American Democracy contributors – both academics and practitioners, North Americans, Latin Americans, and Spaniards—explore and assess the state of democratic consolidation in Latin America by focusing on the specific issues and challenges confronting democratic governance in the region. This thoroughly updated revision provides new chapters on: the environment, decentralization, the economy, indigenous groups, and the role of China in the region.
