Guatemala has been struggling in its road towards consolidated democracy since the mid-80s when its first democratic government was elected. Internal conflict is no rare occurrence in a country which civil war ended relatively recently, in 1996, and lasted over 30 years. Today, while Guatemala’s economy is the largest of Central America, inequality, poverty and social exclusion – particularly of indigenous people, are rife. Organized crime is also a prevalent concern and an imminent threat to the rule of law. Criminal investigations have evidenced how public institutions and policies are compromised by a rotten political finance system with pervasive links with drug trafficking structures. This paper (1) analyzes the legislative framework (and its implementation) for political financing in Guatemala; (2) identifies how organized crime uses those gaps to filter dirty money in politics, and, more generally, in public life; and (3) pinpoints priority areas for sustainable reform.

打破民主:危地马拉的非法政治金融和有组织犯罪
自 80 年代中期选出第一个民主政府以来,危地马拉一直在努力实现巩固民主。在一个内战最近结束的国家,即 1996 年,并持续了 30 多年,内部冲突并不罕见。今天,虽然危地马拉的经济是中美洲最大的经济体,但不平等、贫困和社会排斥——尤其是土著人民的排斥——普遍存在。有组织犯罪也是一个普遍关注的问题,是对法治的迫在眉睫的威胁。刑事调查证明了公共机构和政策如何受到与贩毒结构普遍联系的腐朽政治金融体系的影响。本文 (1) 分析了危地马拉政治融资的立法框架(及其实施);(2) 确定有组织犯罪如何利用这些差距来过滤政治中的脏钱,更广泛地说,是公共生活中的脏钱;(3) 确定可持续改革的优先领域。
