Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanya Miquilena y Werner Corrales publican el volumen que recoge el fruto de un trabajo de casi diez años, sobre cómo fijar las prioridades en las que basar la recomposición de la economía, la institucionalidad y la sociedad venezolanas. El producto se titula Venezuela, vértigo y futuro. El nuevo libro de la Editorial Dahbar, Venezuela, vértigo y futuro, tiene como responsables a Werner Corrales y Tanya Miquilena, pero sus ideas y propuestas integran los resultados de un esfuerzo que en realidad ha involucrado a miles de venezolanos, por casi diez años. Luego de que más de 1.300 personalidades firmaran el manifiesto “Es hora de cambiar”, entre 2009 y 2017 un amplio grupo de expertos, políticos y ciudadanos de todas las tendencias sostuvieron una serie de más de 300 encuentros y de talleres para producir una Visión Compartida de País, que sirviera de plataforma para la reconstrucción de Venezuela una vez se inicie una transición a la democracia que nos conduzca a un futuro de libertad y progreso para todos. Esta Visión Compartida se produjo, en una primera etapa, con el trabajo en equipo de siete organizaciones, que se refinó en una segunda fase con el aporte de once equipos de expertos. Esto alimentó a una consulta nacional, que encomendó la Asamblea Nacional, y ha nutrido desde 2013 la formación de jóvenes dirigentes en el diplomado en Liderazgo Social y Político de la Universidad Metropolitana, en Caracas. Todo este trabajo desembocó en siete consensos y tres estrategias de desarrollo que se explican detalladamente en este libro, luego de que los capítulos iniciales resumen un diagnóstico de la coyuntura venezolana y de sus causas históricas. Las tres estrategias van por la reorientación de prioridades, la reconstrucción institucional y la reconciliación, y los siete consensos u objetivos de desarrollo que esas estrategias persiguen son los siguientes: paz, no violencia y reconciliación con justicia; un pacto para el progreso de todos y la superación de la pobreza; construir una nueva economía de alta productividad; instituciones para la democracia y para la autonomía ciudadana; hábitat de calidad para todos, en armonía con el ambiente; conocimiento y educación relevantes, de calidad y accesibles para todos; y la superación del rentismo. Entre tantos libros que se han publicado en estos años para responder las preguntas de cómo llegamos aquí y cómo podemos salir de esto, Venezuela, vértigo y futuro destaca por su orden, su claridad, su puntería y su carácter consensual. No son pocos los observadores y protagonistas que tienen buenos argumentos para plantear un conjunto de medidas para que el país recupere su camino al desarrollo; pero en esta obra, esa visión no viene de una o dos personas muy calificadas, sino de miles. Así que es un libro que merece no solo leerse, sino compartirse, discutirse y resguardarse para cuando pueda ser útil.

Book excerpt: "The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1930s the state has played a primary role in the development process of Latin American countries, and political systems have had strong corporatist and authoritarian-centralist features. In the last several years, as that role has become increasingly incompatible with neoliberal reforms and the requirements of a transition to democracy, state power has been significantly decentralized, and the state has withdrawn from direct intervention in the economy. This book examines the consequences of the redefinition of the state for processes of democratization and statecivil society relations. }Since the 1930s the state has played a primary role in the development process of most Latin American countries, and political systems have had strong corporatist and authoritarian-centralist features. In the last several years, as that role has become increasingly incompatible with neoliberal reforms and the requirements of a transition to democracy, state power has been significantly decentralized, and the state has withdrawn from direct intervention in the economy. This book examines the consequences of the redefinition of the state for processes of democratization and statecivil society relations, looking, for example, at transfers of power to local and regional authorities, the role of NGOs and other interest groups in policymaking, the emergence of new social movements, and privatization and the introduction of market criteria. Several country case studies are also included. }

Download or read book Consolidating the Third Wave Democracies written by Larry Diamond and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1997-09-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth analysis of the struggle to consolidate new and fragile democracies—available in two paperback volumes for course use. The global trend that Samuel P. Huntington has dubbed the "third wave" of democratization has seen more than 60 countries experience democratic transitions since 1974. While these countries have succeeded in bringing down authoritarian regimes and replacing them with freely elected governments, few of them can as yet be considered stable democracies. Most remain engaged in the struggle to consolidate their new and fragile democratic institutions. Consolidating the Third Wave Democracies provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges that they face. Consolidating the Third Wave Democracies is available in two paperback volumes, each introduced by the editors and organized for convenient course use. The first paperback volume, Themes and Perspectives, addresses issues of institutional design, civil-military relations, civil society, and economic development. It brings together some of the world's foremost scholars of democratization, including Robert A. Dahl, Samuel P. Huntington, Juan J. Linz, Guillermo O'Donnell, Adam Przeworski, Philippe C. Schmitter, and Alfred Stepan. The second paperback volume, Regional Challenges, focuses on developments in Southern Europe, Latin America, Russia, and East Asia, particularly Taiwan and China. It contains essays by leading regional experts, including Yun-han Chu, P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, Thomas B. Gold, Michael McFaul, Andrew J. Nathan, and Hung-mao Tien.

Download or read book The Failure of Political Reform in Venezuela written by Julia Buxton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. The victory of former lieutenant colonel Hugo Chavez in the Venezuelan presidential elections of 1998 was criticized as a blow against the country's deep-seated democratic tradition. It is claimed that this simplistic argument fails to recognize the extent of democratic deterioration in the country and the limitations imposed by discredited political actors on a meaningful democratic reform process. The book aims to break new ground in providing unseen evidence of electoral fraud and offers a fresh perspective on the nature of democratic development.

Download or read book Democratic Institutional Design written by Brian F. Crisp and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the policy-making structures of Venezuelan government, this book examines the constitutionally allocated powers of the executive and legislature and shows how the powers of each branch are exercised given the incentives established by the electoral system and changing partisan strengths. Several institutional characteristics have led to a passive legislature and an activist chief executive. The advantages presidents enjoy as a result of their constitutional and partisan powers are demonstrated by a wealth of empirical evidence, including records of votes of censure, initiation of legislation, and the use of decree authority. Because of its dominance, the Venezuelan executive branch is the focus of interest-group pressure, which is institutionalized through consultative commissions and a decentralized public administration. The author analyzes memberships of more than 300 advisory commissions and governing boards, revealing the preponderance of posts filled by umbrella agencies for business and labor. The interaction of this limited version of civil society with policy makers in the executive branch has led to a highly protectionist development strategy and excessive government subsidies. The strategy and the political process that made it possible were both exhausted by the end of the 1980s. Venezuela was in political and economic crisis. The author places Venezuela in a comparative context with other Latin American states on three issues: the likelihood that executives will receive disciplined, majority support in the legislature; the constitutional powers of presidents; and the degree to which business and labor are formally incorporated through single peak associations. Participation and policy-making processes vary significantly across Latin American democracies, with few others reaching the level of centralization that has characterized Venezuela. At the other end of the spectrum, some Latin American institutional designs are characterized by diffusion and fragmentation. In conclusion, the author offers a blueprint to modify some of the counterproductive patterns associated with Venezuela, one of the longest-lived but now troubled democracies in Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume work continues the series of election data handbooks published by OUP. It presents a first-ever compendium of electoral data for all 35 countries in the Americas since the introduction of universal male suffrage. Following the overall structure of the series, an initial comparative introduction on elections and electoral systems is followed by chapters on each country. Written by knowledgeable and renowned scholars, the contributions examine the evolution of constitutional and electoral arrangements and provide systematic surveys of the up-to-date electoral provisions and electoral rules. These widely differing rules exert considerable influence on party systems and political processes. Exhaustive statistics on all national elections and referendums are given in each chapter. Together with the other books of this series, Elections in the Americas is a highly reliable resource for historical and cross-national comparisons of elections and electoral systems worldwide.

Download or read book Legislative Voting and Accountability written by John M. Carey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legislatures are the core representative institutions in modern democracies. Citizens want legislatures to be decisive, and they want accountability, but they are frequently disillusioned with the representation legislators deliver. Political parties can provide decisiveness in legislatures, and they may provide collective accountability, but citizens and political reformers frequently demand another type of accountability from legislators – at the individual level. Can legislatures provide both kinds of accountability? This book considers what collective and individual accountability require and provides the most extensive cross-national analysis of legislative voting undertaken to date. It illustrates the balance between individualistic and collective representation in democracies, and how party unity in legislative voting shapes that balance. In addition to quantitative analysis of voting patterns, the book draws on extensive field and archival research to provide an extensive assessment of legislative transparency throughout the Americas.
