Criminal Politics and Botched Development in Contemporary Latin America
This Element investigates the relationship between the narcotics industry and politics and assesses how it influences domestic political dynamics, including economic development prospects in Latin America. It argues that links between criminal organizations, politicians, and state agents give rise to criminal politics (i.e., the interrelated activity of politicians, organized crime actors, and state agents in pursuing their respective agendas and goals). Criminal politics is upending how countries function politically and, consequently, impacting the prospects and nature of their social and economic development. The Element claims that diverse manifestations of criminal politics arise depending on how different phases of drug-trafficking activity (e.g., production, trafficking, and money laundering) interact with countries' distinct politico-institutional endowments. The argument is probed through the systematic examination of four cases that have received scant attention in the specialized literature: Chile,Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

The volume comprises a broad range of chapters from scholars across the social sciences and humanities, using various methodol...
1989 - Cinco momentos
El presente material exhibe el escaneo integral de cinco periódicos correspondientes al año 1989, momento en el cual el régimen no democrático liderado por Alfredo Stroessner llegó a su fin. La elección de los periódicos se realizó considerando cinco momentos distintos. El primer escaneo es la edición del 2 de febrero de 1989 de "Patria", publicada el día anterior al golpe de Estado. En dicho texto, el perspicaz lector podrá observar la "normalidad stronista" descrita desde la perspectiva del stronismo. Se revela una sociedad, política y economía cimentadas en lealtades, en un supuesto progreso y en un Paraguay tranquilo, sin problemas que el líder no pueda resolver. El segundo...
