Bände

The series builds on the concept that specific Latin American perspectives, theoretical frameworks, and empirical research reflect the debate about broader global issues in the context of multidimensional and globalized trends. Through a diversified selection of contributors, the series will centre on cross-regional analyses and promote interdisciplinary, multi-situated, empirical and comparative approaches. Latin America in Perspective: Society, Culture and Politics will be a forum for the discussion of timely issues around local and regional societal, political, and judicial topics, exploring issues such as inequalities and social justice. Concentrating on publications with a rigorous empirical focus, the series aims to inspire broader theoretical propositions and debates informed by current international trends in methodology and theory.

Democracy in Latin America

The Failure of Inclusion and the Emergence of Autocratization

Francisco Valdés-Ugalde

Band 2 in dieser Reihe

Between 1978 and 2006, most Latin American countries joined the "third wave of democracy". However, as elected governments were set in place all over the region, authoritarian actors often managed to overshadow democratic procedures and preserve their authoritarian enclaves, hindering the transformation of the state and the advancement of citizens’ fundamental rights.

This book analyzes the extent to which democratic and authoritarian forces are intertwined in political processes and institutional design and how they affect the inclusion of the citizenry in political decisions. This enables readers to understand how autocratization influences the different dimensions of representative democracy.

Race and Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Crossview from Brazil discusses the racial issue in Latin America by inserting Brazil’s perspective within the regional debate, at once contrasting with more common nationally-focused perspectives and highlighting the exchange between the luso and hispano worlds.

Through this dialogical scheme, the volume aims to offer a panorama of the historical and contemporary debates on the racial issue across the region. It emphasizes, in particular, slavery’s inheritance, the persistent subordination of the black population along with its mobilization and exchanges, the centrality of the anti-racist struggle and its main actors and intellectuals, the impact of multicultural and racial equality policies, and the development of categorizations.

Race and Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Crossview from Brazil brings about the need to enlarge knowledge on the black population in the region, identifying national particularities, distinct historical contexts and forms of categorization and relations with other ethnic groups, The volume also illustrates a current state of affairs, underscoring new debates and challenges which arise in a context of sanitary crisis and black genocide.
