Download or read book Constitutional Questions in Latin America and Peru written by César Landa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delves into constitutional essays focused on Latin America, with a particular emphasis on Peru. It explores legal theories surrounding the development of human rights, rooted in constitutional pluralism. Drawing from the insights gathered by organizations within the Inter-American Human Rights System, notably the Court and the Commission, this examination extends to its impact on local judicial bodies, including the Judiciary and notably the Constitutional Court. These efforts aim to protect traditional civil and political rights alongside social rights. However, the work also addresses the ongoing challenge of safeguarding emerging rights, such as fundamental digital and environmental rights, while bolstering protections for vulnerable populations like migrants and the LGBTQ+ community. By adopting a holistic approach, the book aspires to serve as a valuable resource for academics, experts, students, and professionals engaged in the study and practice of Latin American Constitutionalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional reform has been one of the most significant aspects of democratization in late twentieth century Latin America. In The Friendly Liquidation of the Past—one of the first texts to examine this issue comprehensively —Van Cott focuses on the efforts of Bolivia and Colombia to incorporate ethnic rights into their fragile democracies. In the1990s, political leaders and social movements in Bolivia and Colombia expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of democracy--its exclusionary nature, the distance and illegitimacy of the state, and the empty promise of citizenship. The highly symbolic act of constitution making elevated a public struggle for rights to the level of a discussion on the meaning of democracy and the nature of the state. Based on interviews with more than 100 participants in the reforms, Van Cott demonstrates how issues promoted by social movements—recognizing ethnic diversity, expanding political participation and improving representation, and creating spheres of cultural and territorial autonomy—were placed on the constitutional reform agenda and transformed through strategic interaction with political power-brokers into the nation’s highest law. The analysis follows each reform through five years of implementation to assess the early results of what Van Cott suggests is an emerging regional model of multicultural constitutionalism. The Friendly Liquidation of the Past fills an important gap in the study of ethnic politics and constitutional reform in the Andes, linking the literature on institutions and political reform to work in political theory on participatory democracy and multiculturalism.

This book was released on 2002-06-09 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siempre será oportuno reflexionar sobre la democracia, su contenido, sus desafíos, su presente y su futuro, las transformaciones y percepciones que de ella se tienen. No son pocas las preocupaciones o inquietudes que la democracia suscita en esta parte del mundo, y muestra de ello son los más variados estudios e informes sobre el estado actual de la democracia y sus probabilidades en América Latina. Más de un cuarto de siglo de ejercicio democrático en casi toda la región parecería sugerirnos que la democracia echó raíces en esta área y que su consolidación que está asegurada. Sin embargo, nada más paradójico, lejos de su afianzamiento parecería que está más cerca de la fragilidad. Los desencantos son cada vez más evidentes.Los regímenes democráticos de la región afrontan en la actualidad los más complejos problemas, en donde los gobiernos, en sentido amplio, no han logrado dar una respuesta efectiva: profundas desigualdades, altos niveles de pobreza, merma en el crecimiento económico, ausencia de creación empleo, que se terminan convirtiendo en los motivos o causas que justifican la insatisfacción ciudadana con el funcionamiento de la democracia y sus instituciones. De ahí pues que la región se haya caracterizado por la realización de los más diversos procesos de reforma constitucional, política y electoral, quizá con el propósito de superar otros malestares que afectan a al democracia: representación, participación, gobernabilidad. Y aquí nuevamente el tema del presidencialismo latinoamericano y sus posibles conexiones con las debilidades de la democracia en América Latina.Esta obra examina precisamente los desafíos, ventajas y desventajas del régimen presidencial en la región, sobre la base de juiciosas investigaciones en distintos contextos nacionales, con énfasis en México, Argentina, Perú y Colombia, con un alto grado de homogeneidad en sus presupuestos teóricos y metodológicos. Entonces, los artículos contenidos en este volumen analizan las principales transformaciones de los regímenes presidenciales en donde se pueden evidenciar las diferencias existentes entre éstos y los efectos que tienen en el funcionamiento de los respectivos sistemas políticos, con tendencias que se soportan en el desprestigio de los partidos políticos y de la clase dirigente; el presidencialismo hegemónico y los poderes presidenciales, especialmente en temas económicos; la extensión de la corrupción, la impunidad y el desprecio por el estado de derecho.Los regímenes democráticos de la región afrontan en la actualidad los más complejos problemas, en donde los gobiernos, en sentido amplio, no han logrado dar una respuesta efectiva: profundas desigualdades, altos niveles de pobreza, merma en el crecimiento económico, ausencia de creación empleo, que se terminan convirtiendo en los motivos o causas que justifican la insatisfacción ciudadana con el funcionamiento de la democracia y sus instituciones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4% of Latin America and the Caribbean’s GDP comes from the extractive sector. This figure is equivalent to the amount generated by agriculture in the same region. An effective engagement between governments, companies, and civil society is required to propel sustainable development. With this regional diagnosis of countries rich in natural resources like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, the IDB seeks to shed light on best practices among stakeholders of the extractive sectors. It focuses in actions of information, dialogues, consultations, collaborations, and partnerships that are driving development in the region. From the findings of the diagnosis, 3 roadmaps were drafted, to guide the stakeholders in strengthening their engagement.

Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Con base en el seguimiento exhaustivo de las enmiendas y reemplazos constitucionales ocurridos en América Latina entre 1900 y 2008, y en un análisis detallado de cuatro estudios de caso, Gabriel Negretto muestra en esta obra que el contenido de esa clase de reformas se decide en función del desempeño pasado de la constitución como instrumento efectivo y legítimo de gobierno y de los intereses estratégicos de quienes adquieren influencia sobre la gestación de esos cambios. Aquí se explica cómo los problemas de gobernabilidad y representación determinan los lineamientos generales de una reforma, mientras que los cálculos estratégicos y los recursos de poder de las partes involucradas afectan la selección de alternativas específicas de diseño. El autor pone énfasis en la importancia que tienen el tipo de evento que hace necesarias las reformas y el grado de incertidumbre electoral de sus impulsores, para entender así el impacto relativo que tienen los intereses partidarios de corto plazo en la adopción de instituciones. La teoría que estructura este trabajo permite explicar por qué la mayoría de las constituciones en América Latina poseen hoy en día un diseño híbrido que compromete el desarrollo democrático en la región. También cuestiona las concepciones dominantes sobre el cambio constitucional y traza el camino para una nueva agenda de investigación en un tema crucial para la ciencia política y el derecho."--Contratapa.
Download or read book Contesting Citizenship in Latin America written by Deborah J. Yashar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous people in Latin America have mobilized in unprecedented ways - demanding recognition, equal protection, and subnational autonomy. These are remarkable developments in a region where ethnic cleavages were once universally described as weak. Recently, however, indigenous activists and elected officials have increasingly shaped national political deliberations. Deborah Yashar explains the contemporary and uneven emergence of Latin American indigenous movements - addressing both why indigenous identities have become politically salient in the contemporary period and why they have translated into significant political organizations in some places and not others. She argues that ethnic politics can best be explained through a comparative historical approach that analyzes three factors: changing citizenship regimes, social networks, and political associational space. Her argument provides insight into the fragility and unevenness of Latin America's third wave democracies and has broader implications for the ways in which we theorize the relationship between citizenship, states, identity, and social action.
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 Concepto de democracia y sistema de gobierno en Am rica Latina written by Jorge Carpizo and published by Univ Externado de Colombia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actualmente se discuten, en varios países de la región, procesos constituyentes que probablemente conducirán a nuevas Constituciones o a reformas integrales, de los textos fundamentales. Uno de los temas sobresalientes de la discusión se relaciona con el sistema de gobierno. Frente a este panorama, los ensayos que integran esta obra insisten en el valor excepcional del derecho constitucional latinoamericano comparado, como instrumento y referencia para las reformas constitucionales, al mismo tiempo que analizan las repercusiones que derivarían de querer resolver con este tipo de reformas, problemas que no son de índole jurídica, como la falta de voluntad política para solucionar los asuntos, la ineficacia, la incompetencia, la corrupción, la impunidad, el desprecio al Estado de derecho, la no aplicación de la ley, entre otros factores. La obra conduce a despejar confusiones sobre las instituciones, tales como los mitos de que un sistema parlamentario opera por esencia de manera más democrática que uno presidencial y que, con un cambio de sistema de gobierno se resolverían muchos de los problemas políticos, jurídicos y sociales, que castigan a varios países de la región. En ese sentido, este trabajo subraya la necesidad de tener en cuenta que en nuestros países no se deben cometer errores que puedan implicar debilidades o retrocesos en los regímenes democráticos alcanzados. Al contrario, hay que realizar modificaciones constitucionales que fortalezcan los sistemas democraticos, varios de los cuales aún no se consolidan.
