Este libro tiene por objetivo brindar un panorama teórico y de política pública aplicada sobre el acceso a la información pública, la transparencia y los derechos humanos en el continente americano. Para ello, reconocidos autores y autoras analizan el estado de situación: avances, dificultades y desafíos de estos temas en la región. El libro se compone de tres partes. La primera aborda el derecho de acceso a la información pública desde una perspectiva teórica, destacando su carácter fundamental como requisito esencial para la toma de decisiones públicas. La segunda sección se centra en la aplicación práctica de este derecho y en las políticas públicas diseñadas para su implementación, destacando la brecha persistente entre la teoría legal y su implementación. Por último, la tercera parte examina el impacto del derecho de acceso a la información, la transparencia y la gestión de datos en la sociedad en general, prestando especial atención a los grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad.
More than four million Spaniards came to the Western Hemisphere between the mid-nineteenth century and the Great Depression. Unlike that of most other Europeans, their major destination was Argentina, not the United States. Studies of these immigrants—mostly laborers and peasants—have been scarce in comparison with studies of other groups of smaller size and lesser influence. Presenting original research within a broad comparative framework, Jose C. Moya fills a considerable gap in our knowledge of immigration to Argentina, one of the world's primary "settler" societies. Moya moves deftly between micro- and macro-analysis to illuminate the immigration phenomenon. A wealth of primary sources culled from dozens of immigrant associations, national and village archives, and interviews with surviving participants in Argentina and Spain inform his discussion of the origins of Spanish immigration, residence patterns, community formation, labor, and cultural cognitive aspects of the immigration process. In addition, he provides valuable material on other immigrant groups in Argentina and gives a balanced critique of major issues in migration studies.
