WHY THE VICTIMS' LAW APPLIES TO ME
"Why the Victims' Law Applies to Me" is an analysis of Colombian political philosophy, based on the author's own experiences, and departs from a specific historical context and liberal approach. The author presents a new approach to Latin American's and Colombian's realities, and denounces the misrepresentations of Colombia's History, past and present. He also proposes solutions and a development platform to envision a future with optimism. Jaramillo reveals the current and past perpetrators of the violence in Colombia, denounces the public servants that plunder the country's institutions, and relentlessly calls for the need for the State to provide Ethical and Moral education through mandat...
Desplazamiento interno forzado
El libro contiene los resultados de un proyecto ejecutado por los grupos de investigación GIDHUM de la Universidad del Norte y el GIDES de la Universidad San Buenaventura de Cartagena, con el financiamiento de Colciencias, que permitió delimitar el proceso de construcción/reconstrucción de la identidad social y el restablecimiento urbano de una comunidad víctima de la violencia política en Colombia. Concretamente, la investigación se focalizó en Cartagena de Indias, en el asentamiento “Revivir de los Campanos”, donde más de 100 familias desplazadas intentan superar la experiencia traumática de la guerra. La publicación se constituye además en un homenaje al profesor y amigo Alfredo Correa De Andreis, coautor de este trabajo y quien fue asesinado el 17 de septiembre de 2004, a plena luz del día, en la ciudad de Barranquilla (Colombia). Esta obra es parte de su herencia intelectual y el testimonio de su compromiso con el país y con las personas más vulnerables.
A Post-Neoliberal Era in Latin America?
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Ongoing conflicts between neoliberal and post-neoliberal politics have resulted in growing social instability in Latin America. This book explores the cultural dynamics of neoliberalism and anti-neoliberal resistance in Latin America as a complex set of interrelated cultural forms, examining the ways in which neoliberalism has transformed public discourses of self and social relationships, popular cultures and modes of everyday experience. Contributors from an international range of different disciplinary perspectives look at how Latin Americans construct subjectivities, build communities and make meaning in their everyday lives in order to analyse the discourses and cultural practices through which a societal consensus for the pursuit of neoliberal politics may be established, defended and contested.
The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures
The Handbook of Latin American and Caribbean Intelligence Cultures explores the contemporary efforts of Latin American and Caribbean nations to develop an intelligence culture. Specifically, it analyzes these countries’ efforts to democratize their intelligence agencies (i.e. to develop intelligence services that are both transparent and effective) to convert the former military regimes’ repressive security apparatuses into democratic intelligence communities—a rather paradoxical task, considering that democracy calls for political neutrality, transparency, and accountability, while effective intelligence services must operate in secrecy. Indeed, even the most successful democracies fa...
The Routledge International Handbook of the Crimes of the Powerful
Across the world, most people are well aware of ordinary criminal harms to person and property. Often committed by the powerless and poor, these individualized crimes are catalogued in the statistics collected annually by the FBI and by similar agencies in other developed nations. In contrast, the more harmful and systemic forms of injury to person and property committed by powerful and wealthy individuals, groups, and national states are neither calculated by governmental agencies nor annually reported by the mass media. As a result, most citizens of the world are unaware of the routinized "crimes of the powerful", even though they are more likely to experience harms and injuries from these...
There Are No Dead Here
The bloody story of the rise of paramilitaries in Colombia, told through three characters -- a fearless activist, a dogged journalist, and a relentless investigator -- whose lives intersected in the midst of unspeakable terror. Colombia's drug-fueled cycle of terror, corruption, and tragedy did not end with Pablo Escobar's death in 1993. Just when Colombians were ready to move past the murderous legacy of the country's cartels, a new, bloody chapter unfolded. In the late 1990s, right-wing paramilitary groups with close ties to the cocaine business carried out a violent expansion campaign, massacring, raping, and torturing thousands. There Are No Dead Here is the harrowing story of three ordi...
Gobernar en medio de la violencia
En las dos últimas décadas del siglo XX, los grupos paramilitares obtuvieron el control de amplias zonas del territorio nacional. A pesar del poder armado, económico y político que habían acumulado, se desintegraron en unos pocos años, como consecuencia de su desmovilización parcial y de la extradición de sus principales jefes. Mientras que generalmente el conflicto interno es visto como la causa del colapso estatal, este libro propone un análisis sociológico de la relación entre violencia y Estado. A partir de estudios locales, analiza la manera en que las armas han participado en la represión de movimientos sociales y opositores políticos, en la repartición de recursos públicos y en la explotación económica de zonas marginales. Se estudia también el nivel nacional, se analiza la forma en la cual la violencia se transforma en un problema público, atrayendo la atención de las políticas de seguridad y de la justicia penal. De esta manera, llevando a cabo una argumentación comparativa, se muestran las formas múltiples en las que los grupos armados participan en el proceso histórico de la formación del Estado.
