Belonging to No One, to Everyone, and for Whom? Learnings from the Disputes about the Public Dimension of Education in Chile's Constitutional Convention Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Carmelo Galioto
The public dimension of education is a key issue in democratic countries. However, in a time of conspicuous privatisation and pluralism, the value and meaning of the public sphere in education are in dispute with other value preferences. This paper offers a phenomenological account of the discussion that took place in Chile's Constitutional Convention, which represents an interesting case study due

Postcards Post‐Petroleras: Exploring Collaborative Ethnography via Mail from the Venezuelan Diaspora Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-04-15 Rebecca Irons
Postcards, as ‘travelling communication devices’, have been identified as excellent tools for their ability to collapse ‘the field’ in a new, visually experiential way. Though often presented as a (post)colonial medium that has exoticized ‘the other’, they may also be able to give snapshots of diverse biographies otherwise silenced, and can therefore be utilised as a form of collaborative ethnography

Territorial Conflicts and Soybeans: Kanhgág Politics and Their Struggle for Land Rights in Southern Brazil Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-04-15 Lucas Cimbaluk
Today, Kanhgág people live mainly in small Terras Indígenas (Indigenous Lands) in southern Brazil. Those lands are the outcome of a history of equivocal alliances and conflicts between indigenous peoples and European colonisers. Presenting aspects of these relations in both historical and contemporary settings, this article traces continuities and transformations in indigenous politics and cosmology

After centuries of conflict and political struggles over land and resources across Lowland South America, recent decades have shown an expansion of the rights of Indigenous Peoples to determine their own futures and manage their territories (Monterroso et al., 2017; Palacios Llaque and Sarmiento Barletti, 2021). This shift is the result of decades of the deployment of strategies undertaken by Indigenous

Colombia has experienced numerous peace initiatives in recent decades, most notably the 2016 Peace Accords between the Government of Colombia and the largest insurgent group the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army). Despite these multilevel initiatives, the security panorama in Colombia continues to be characterised

Mexico's Dirty War: A Reassessment Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Alex Aviña, Benjamin T. Smith
Recent scholarship has found that Mexico's dirty war was rooted in existing, but also limited, violent practices established during the 1940s and 1950s. During the 1960s, these limits began to disappear. But it was not until the early 1970s when the state had sufficient capacity to launch counterinsurgency tactics throughout the nation. However, contrary to traditional appreciations of Mexico's dirty

Following the enactment of the Eusébio de Queirós law under British pressure in 1850, the Brazilian Empire brought an end to the international slave trade. Illicit arrivals continued to occur, but around 1856 the trade was deemed extinct by the Brazilian authorities. This study discusses rumours and potential evidence of illicit trafficking on the brink of the repeal of the Aberdeen Act, which stirred

Ecological Emergency in El Salto and Cosmopolitical Aesthetics in Eugenio Polgovsky's Resurrección (2016) Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-02-01 Deborah Martin
This article examines the documentary Resurrección (Eugenio Polgovksy, 2016), which deals with the catastrophic contamination of Jalisco's River Santiago by industrial waste. It discusses the slow violence of environmental poisoning in this region as a form of necropolitics and of wastelanding, and the campaign of collective Un Salto de Vida, who feature prominently in the film, for a clean river.

Between Co-Management and Responsibilisation: Comparative Perspectives from Two Reservas Comunales in the Peruvian Amazon Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2024-01-22 Juan Pablo Sarmiento Barletti, Giancarlo Rolando
Peru introduced co-managed Reservas Comunales (Communal Reserves) as an alternative to the ‘fortress conservation’ approach that characterises other protected areas where Indigenous Peoples tend to be excluded from both the physical space and managerial aspects of conservation regimes. Although these Reserves are lauded internationally as supporting Indigenous Peoples' self-determination, this article

This article examines how the Venezuelan diaspora has been portrayed in the media during the Colombian presidential election of 2022 and how it has influenced voters' preferences there. It examines presidential debates and conversations on X (formerly Twitter), as well as traditional legacy media and digital natives' media material. The authors used a population-based sample of 17,372 articles on the

Sarayaku, an Amazonian Kichwa community in Pastaza province, Ecuador, is suspected to be rich in oil reserves. This fact has generated outside interest in the region and in turn pushed Sarayaku Runa (Sarayaku people) to defend their territory against state-led extractivist projects. In this context, the conflict in Sarayaku territory, among the state, multinational oil companies and the Indigenous

Introduction to Special Section: Elections in Latin America from a Multi-Level Perspective Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-11-02 Jayane Dos Santos Maia, Mariana Llanos
In multi-level systems with several arenas of political competition, national electoral results or political outcomes are unlikely to have a homogeneous distribution throughout the territory. Therefore, a nationalised perspective on politics has to date not led to a deep understanding of political dynamics (Došek and Freidenberg, 2013; Snyder, 2001). This is particularly true in Latin America, which

Brazil was one of the countries most affected by COVID-19. Many deaths could have been avoided by implementing severe non-pharmaceutical interventions. Despite support for stay-at-home requirements and masking mandates from subnational authorities, the president actively pushed back against it.

Speaking the Language of Friendship: Partnerships in the Political Construction of the Late Sixteenth-Century South-East Charcas Frontier Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-10-01 Mario Graña Taborelli
The present article discusses the importance of partnerships in the political construction of the south-east frontier of late sixteenth-century Charcas, focused on foundation and destruction of San Miguel de la Laguna. In a challenge to the narrative of ‘constant war zone’, the events are here framed as part of a process described as territorialisation, which transformed geographies into territories

Electoral Integrity and Turnout in a Context of Violence at the Sub-National Level in Mexico, 2015–2018 Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-09-29 Irma Mendez, Marietha Perez Arellano
In this article, we analyse the effect of electoral integrity on electoral participation in violent contexts. Using data from Local Electoral Authorities on electoral results, Electoral Integrity rates, and the Peace Index, we develop an exploratory analysis for sub-national elections in Mexico, in the 2015–2018 period. We conclude that, when elections are characterised by a high level of integrity

This article discusses how Greeks perceived Salvador Allende's overthrow, Pinochet's military dictatorship, and US interventionism in Chile. By the end of Greece's dictatorship (1967–1974), left-wing militants emotionally identified with the ‘Chilean tragedy’ through their own experiences of military authoritarianism. Indeed, the Greek Colonels' Junta amplified the 1973 Chilean coup's local impact

The growth of the far right and election results in Brazil are often associated with national or large-scale events. The multi-level features of these developments, namely party competition at the sub-national level, are overlooked in the literature. This article argues that changes in the Brazilian national party system – those observed from Bolsonaro's election, mainly – are rooted in sub-national

Did Covid-19 Change Armed Group Governance? Evidence from a Survey of Local Security Authorities in Colombia Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-08-29 Erica De Bruin, Michael Weintraub
As the Covid-19 pandemic began, initial reports suggested that armed groups would seize the opportunity to expand their control over territory and civilians. However, drawing on an original survey of local security officials responsible for monitoring armed group behaviour in Colombia, we find little evidence of significant shifts in the presence or behaviour of political or criminal groups. Contrary

Based on analysis of Brazilian-Spanish cooperation in Latin America, this article aims to contribute to the discussion on whether South–South Cooperation (SSC) represents an alternative model with specific and differentiated objectives, or if it largely reproduces the constraints and interests traditionally associated with the North–South model, but with new institutions and actors.

The Impossibility of Party Unity in Peru: Party Affiliation, Subnational Electoral Competition and Party Discipline (2011–2019) Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Cristhian Jaramillo
Party division in Peru is a constant event and has become an expected feature of Peruvian parliamentary politics. For instance, in 2016, the elected Congress was composed of six parliamentary groups, and at the moment of its dissolution, that number doubled. This article explores the factors that produce such rapid division in the Peruvian Congress during two parliamentary periods (2011–2016, 2016–2019)

The Experience of Women Regarding Chilean Government Measures during the COVID-19 Pandemic Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-06-27 Rosario Undurraga, Natalia López-Hornickel
This study explores the experience of ten possible beneficiaries of the measures provided by the Chilean government during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic through remote semi-structured interviews. The results show a scenario of improvisation. Instead of relying on solid gender equity policies, a patchwork of focused measures was implemented, which increased uncertainty and vulnerability. As

The Geopolitical Imaginary of the Brazilian Ultra-Right Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-04-05 Jorge Gomes de Souza Chaloub
The strengthening of the ultra-right in the Brazilian political scenario has a certain geopolitical imagination as one of its centres. Its main authors, on the one hand, consider Latin America as something to be avoided, and, on the other hand, value the affinities between Brazil and the United States due to the idea of a mutual belonging to a Christian West.

How do legislators use social media to cultivate their constituencies in large multimember electoral districts? Colombia's Senate nationwide district offers a suitable case to examine how lawmakers, through their behaviour on Twitter, geographically target their audiences. We employ microblog user geolocation methods which infer locations using textual content in order to identify where Colombian senators'

Agribusiness, Legislative Elections and Party Fragmentation in Brazil Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Fabiano Santos, Thiago Moreira
The article explores the impact of agribusiness on the politics of legislative elections in Brazil. The central argument is that social contexts dominated by agribusiness tend to amplify the number of right-wing micro-parties, due firstly to the economic interests prevalent in such regions and secondly given the ‘catch all’ nature of Brazil's traditional right and centre-right political parties.

Since the 2016 Havana Peace Accord (HPA), for many Colombians security has hardly improved. This article argues that this is largely due to socially rooted marginalisation that constrains citizen participation and contributes to entrenched insecurity in the country, especially its border regions. We show how post-HPA community-level responses to insecurity, including constructive engagement with the

Conditional Cash Transfers and Voting for Incumbents under Democratic Backsliding: The Case of Honduras's Bono 10,000 Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2023-02-21 Lucas Perelló, Patricio Navia
As democracies worldwide have reverted to competitive authoritarian regimes or full dictatorships, some autocrats have used clientelist policies to strengthen their positions of power. We contend that autocrats can weaponise conditional cash transfers (CCTs) to shore up electoral support under democratic backsliding. In this vein, we analyse the impact of Honduras's Bono 10,000, a discretionary CCT

The issue of the body is central to feminist theory and activism. This article draws on social movement and performance theory to analyse the role of the body as a site of activism in performances and as a site that is subject to patriarchal and racial oppression. Through embodied activism, feminists reclaim their bodies as a contested site of oppression to reframe the terms of the debate on abortion

This article aims to reconstruct the social imaginaries of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Chile. We seek to understand how families interpret their experience confronting the pandemic by identifying four main aspects: (a) the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) working and learning, (c) health and (d) family life. Following Habermas' distinction between lifeworld and social systems, we consider these issues

Unclogging Courts by Targeting Litigant Incentives: The Case of the Brazilian Labour Justice Reform Bulletin of Latin American Research (IF 0.777) Pub Date : 2022-09-18 Caio Castelliano, Peter Grajzl, Eduardo Watanabe
Overburdened courts hinder economic and social progress, yet successful court reforms are rare. Instead of boosting judicial resources or adapting procedure, Brazil tackled persistent backlogs and delays in its labour courts by replacing the pre-existing each-pays-their-own-costs (American) rule for allocation of litigation expenses with an alternative loser-pays-all (English) rule. Using a newly assembled
