Book Description
Latinoamérica vivió en los últimos años fuertes desencuentros sociales, en algunos casos muy violentos, que dieron origen incluso a procesos constituyentes como en Chile o cambios abruptos de gobierno como en Bolivia. Asimismo, gran parte de la región parece haber retomado la senda de gobiernos de signo populista como Argentina y Perú. ¿Qué significado tienen estos cambios? ¿Vive la democracia latinoamericana la antesala de una primavera árabe? ¿O se asienta sobre un polvorín? El libro, bajo la coordinación de los profesores Amaya y Mezzetti, que reúne a destacados juristas y analistas políticos de toda Latinoamérica, intenta desgranar dichos interrogantes esenciales para el futuro de las democracias.

Argentinian Telenovelas
Author: Gabriela Jonas Aharoni
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1782842292
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This work explores the way in which telenovelas (TV serial dramas) give voice to contemporary and historical Argentinian social and political issues. Telenovelas have multiple layers of socio-cultural message -- local as well as global -- and are invariably laden with appealing drama and emotion, and sometimes comedy. The discussion focuses on how telenovelas reflect society's perception of, and adjustment toward, issues of globalisation. They are a means of portraying how individuals and families rationalize and incorporate rapid social and economic changes. The book explores how telenovelas might offer a subversive interpretation of reality; or provide a channel of dialogue with the government's political aims. The author challenges the assumption that they are merely a reflection of historical, political and social circumstance. One of the many telenovela examples addressed in this book is whether the serial Padre Coraje constructs a parallel between the current Kirchner government and that of Juan Peron, fifty years earlier. The serial explores the two leaders' relationship with the Church and implicitly presents President Kirchner as Peron's successor. Explaining telenovelas as cultural texts (they are not soap operas) provides the primary basis for this study, backed by Argentinian newspaper articles and secondary sources on Latin American history, culture and economy, as well as TV and cinema studies. The result is a more profound and nuanced interpretation than hitherto of Argentinian telenovelas. Analysis enables identification of the links between the serials' storylines and contemporary political and social events. These popular culture texts bring new meaning to the Argentinian historical narrative, and for TV viewers puts the processes and effects of economic and social globalisation on a local multi-cultural level perspective.

Assessing the Left Turn in Ecuador
Author: Francisco Sánchez
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030276252
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
This book examines the “left turn” in Latin American politics, specifically through the lens of Ecuador and the effects of the Citizens’ Revolution’s actions and public policies on relevant actors and institutions. Through a comprehensive analysis of one country’s turn to the left and the outcomes generated by that process, the authors and editors provide a clearer understanding of the ways in which the popular desire for change (predominant through the region in recent times, as a response to late-twentieth-century neoliberalism) was realized—or not. The particular case of Ecuador further potentiates analysis of the entire region-wide process, considering that the “corrector” cycle is now at an end, and that the economic and international conditions that favored the return of left governments have also changed.

The Third Way

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.

Analyzing Latin American Politics
Author: Eduardo Aleman
Publisher: CQ Press
ISBN: 9781506326610
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
While it is true that poverty, political instability, and economic under-performance continue to be major problems in Latin America, the region has made substantial progress in raising standards of living and overcoming military authoritarianism. Latin American Politics reflects just how much the region has changed in the last two decades. Eduardo Alemán draws on contemporary research in comparative studies on institutions, elections, and public opinion to highlight the big questions that political scientists seek to answer today: What are the causes of political instability? What explains the gap in economic and political development between the United States and Latin America? Why have some revolutionaries triumphed when most have failed?

Party-System Collapse
Author: Jason Seawright
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804783926
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
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.

Presidencialismo y democracia en América Latina
Author: Scott Mainwaring
Publisher: Ediciones Paidos Iberica
ISBN: 9789501289084
Category : Democracy
Languages : es
Pages : 316
Book Description
Muchos se han preguntado si el presidencialismo no contribuyo en America latina al fracaso de las democracias en el pasado, a la luz del predominio de sistemas presidencialistas en una region asediada por rupturas institucionales. Este libro analiza los riesgos y las ventajas del regimen presidencialista, sobre la base de exhaustivas investigaciones en diversos contextos nacionales. A contrapelo de las teorias que asimilan presidencialismo a problemas de gobernabilidad y estabilidad democraticas, el libro replantea el debate, poniendo bajo la lupa la complejidad del sistema presidencialista y las variaciones existentes en su seno. Presidencialismo y democracia en America latina representa un gran avance en el estudio de las relaciones entre el Poder Ejecutivo y el Legislativo en las democracias modernas. El texto va mas alla de la dicotomia entre gobierno presidencialista versus gobierno parlamentario al examinar las diferencias existentes dentro de los regimenes presidencialistas, diferencias fundamentales en lo que respecta a los poderes presidenciales, el sistema de partidos, la organizacion interna de los principales partidos politicos y las normas electorales. Los autores demuestran que esas diferencias tienen efectos muy significativos en el modo como funcionan estos regimenes. AREND LIJPHART, Universidad de California, San Diego. Este libro es institucionalismo politico en su mejor forma. Mediante un riguroso y sofisticado enfoque que maneja diversos niveles institucionales y las interacciones entre ellos, el volumen enriquece la teoria de las instituciones, resulta verdaderamente comparativo y ofrece hallazgos de la mayor significacion politica y academica, algunos de los cualesdesafian la intuicion. Los compiladores han logrado reunir en un volumen colectivo contribuciones que tienen un alto grado de homogeneidad en sus presupuestos teoricos y metodologicos.
