Internet Control in Five Political Regimes in Latin America
Since 2010, internet control and security policies have been increasingly enforced (Freedom House, 2016). The literature on the subject indicates that the mechanisms of internet control vary according to the type of political regimes. This study aims to verify if control of the internet in Latin America varies according to the type of prevailing political regime. Five Latin American countries were selected as representing different political regimes: Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Cuba. Freedom of expression on the internet indicators from Varieties of Democracy are reported for each case. Freedom on the Net classification is used as an additional categorical variable. Results indicate that there is a correlation between political regime (measured by polyarchy index) and internet freedom. Indeed, the more autocratic the regime is, the more first-generation internet controls are observed, including content censorship and violations of users' rights. While in hybrid regimes, second-generation controls are more commonly observed, which involve obstacles to access, without customary content blocking and network shutdowns.
La otra hegemonía: Autoritarismo y resistencias en Nicaragua y Venezuela
Como señalaba Maquiavelo, pocas cosas son más complejas que comprender un nuevo orden político. Una de ellas es intentar la preservación de la sindéresis, cuando aquello que estudiamos porta en su seno una carga infame de desgracia ajena. Durante estos últimos años, diferentes activistas y académicos que colaboraron con mi investigación, cuyos nombres aparecen en las páginas del presente libro, han sido reprimidos, encarcelados o expulsados de sus países. Varias organizaciones clausuradas, diferentes sueños aplastados o pospuestos. Si pudiera hoy borrar, al unísono, aquellos acontecimientos y mi propia lectura, no dudaría un instante en hacerlo. Asistir al asesinato, biológico y cívico, de las mejores personas y esperanzas de una nación, es lo más triste que puedo testimoniar. Armando Chaguaceda
El cambio constitucional en Cuba
Compilación de artículos sobre los cambios constitucionales en Cuba, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria. Los dos primeros ensayos, a cargo de Carlos Manuel Rodríguez Arechavaleta y Rafael Rojas, realizan un recorrido por la historia constitucional cubana, desde el texto fundacional del liberalismo hispánico, de 1812 en Cádiz, hasta la Constitución socialista de 1976. Marlene Azor y Armando Chaguaceda hacen una radiografía del orden constitucional de 1976 y el reordenamiento conceptual de la dotación de derechos fundamentales. Yvon Grenier y Velia Cecilia Bobes se internan en el periodo de diferenciación entre sociedad y Estado que siguió a la institucionalización del sistema cubano. Para concluir, Ramón I. Centeno y Haroldo Dilla estudian el sistema político cubano, sus resistencias al cambio o sus posibilidades de apertura en los próximos años.
The War Has Yet to Begin / La guerra aún no ha comenzado
Esta edición impresa de la revista No Country Magazine, publicada en ocasión de la documenta fifteen, intenta analizar los dispositivos necrocoloniales del Estado cubano desde perspectivas múltiples. Perspectivas que abarcan, además de la esfera política, la literatura, el cine, el arte y, lo que es mejor, la manera en que todas estas epistemes se entrecruzan con el dictum ideológico. Para esto, esta edición especial bilingüe no solo ha convocado a diez ensayistas del mundo cubano, sino que pone a circular también algunos de los testimonios que mejor explican lo que significó el 11-J en la Isla: su entramado de represión y vejación estatal. No Country Magazine es una revista gest...
A Contemporary Cuba Reader
Cuba has undergone dramatic changes since the collapse of European communism. The loss of economic aid and preferential trade with the Soviet Union and other Eastern bloc countries forced the Cuban government to search out new ways of organizing the domestic economy and new commercial relations in an international system dominated by market economies. The resulting economic reforms have reverberated through Cuban society and politics, recreating social inequalities unknown since the 1950s and confronting the political system with unprecedented new challenges. The resulting ferment is increasingly evident in Cuban cultural expression, and the responses to adversity and scarcity have reshaped ...
Handbook of Contemporary Cuba
Cuban studies is a highly dynamic field shaped by the country's distinctive political and economic circumstances. Mauricio A. Font and Carlos Riobo offer an up-to-date and comprehensive survey offering the latest research available from a broad array of disciplines and perspectives. The Handbook of Contemporary Cuba brings contributions from leading scholars from the United States, Cuba, Europe, and other world regions and introduces the reader to the key literature in the field in relation to rapidly changing events on the island and in global political and economic affairs. It also addresses timely developments in Cuban civil society and human rights. The guide also presents economic models and forecasts as well as analyses of the recent, pivotal Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba. For students, scholars, and experts in government, it is a vital addition to any collection on Latin American studies or global politics.

Citizen Engagement in Cuba
Citizen Engagement in Cuba: Neighbors and the State in Pogolotti examines citizen engagement at the local level in Cuba through projects initiated by the community since the 1990s. The nature of citizen participation in Cuba is not clearly understood by many in the United States, where the communist government is conflated with the Soviet states of Eastern Europe as a totalitarian regime in which the people of Cuba are helpless to confront, and punished when they do. The reality in Cuba is much more nuanced. This book discusses this reality through a focus on Pogolotti, reflecting on its history as the first low-cost housing community in Cuba in 1910. This community is but one example of a neighborhood where projects represent active participation by citizens. The willingness of communist authorities to work with officially sanctioned workshops and partner with civic groups indicates a level of citizen participation that has not been studied fully and provides an understanding of the relationship between citizens and the state in Cuba.
