The Persistence of Local Caudillos in Latin America
Despite democratization at the national level, local political bosses still govern many municipalities in Latin America. Caudillos and clans often use informal political practices—ranging from clientelism and patronage to harassment of political opposition—to control local political dynamics. These arbitrary and, at times, abusive practices pose important challenges to how Latin American democracy works and how power is exercised after the decentralization reforms in the region. These reforms promised to bring the government closer to the people and to promote popular participation. In many cases, these ideals are unmet, and newly empowered local politicians have been able to turn municipalities into personal fiefdoms. This book explores how local caudillos stay in power and why some are more successful than others in retaining office. Tomáš Došek provides an in-depth analysis of six cases from Chile, Paraguay, and Peru to show the strategies that caudillos pursue to secure power and the mistakes they commit that drive them out.
The Geology of Chile
This book is the first comprehensive account in English of the geology of Chile, providing a key reference work that brings together many years of research, and written mostly by Chilean authors from various universities and other centres of research excellence. The 13 chapters begin with a general overview, followed by detailed accounts of Andean tectonostratigraphy and magmatism, the amazingly active volcanism, the world class ore deposits that have proven to be so critical to the welfare of the country, and Chilean water resources. The subject then turns to geophysics with an examination of neotectonics and earthquakes, the hazardous frequency of which is a daily fact of life for the Chil...
La responsabilidad internacional agravada del Estado colombiano
Al igual que ocurre en los regímenes de responsabilidad Estatal internacional y SIDH, en donde se hace una distinción entre los hechos ilícitos internacionales y las violaciones a normas imperativas de derecho internacional —Ius cogens—, se plantea la posibilidad de aplicar en el régimen interno de responsabilidad estatal la aludida “responsabilidad internacional agravada”, en aquellos casos específicos de violaciones graves a derechos humanos, comoquiera que resulta necesario establecer la aludida distinción respecto de la imputación del daño al Estado en ese tipo de casos. Así, en atención a las circunstancias por las cuales atraviesa el país en materia de desconocimient...
