The Plurality and Synergies of Legal Traditions in International Arbitration

Administración pública del Ecuador ¿Dónde estamos? ¿Tenemos una agenda?
El propósito de este texto es hacer una visión exploratoria del alcance, características y usos de la Gestión Pública, aplicado a casos concretos, y su implementación en la administración pública ecuatoriana. Como se verá en las páginas de este documento, se propone esta área como una "ciencia de la acción", en la que los elementos jurídicos, políticos y económicos se combinan, con el fin de asegurar el mejor ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales y la concreción de los objetivos de Estado. En este sentido, y la mayoría de autores coinciden con que el proceso de "reforma del Estado" tan necesaria en nuestra orbita nacional o regional, es una acción nacida de una necesidad de largo plazo, con fuertes vasos comunicantes entre la acción de la administración con actores políticos dotados de legitimidad electoral. Los textos que se encontrarán en las siguientes páginas tienen varios elementos en común: los Estados no se gobiernan como un acto puramente técnico-racional, sino que ejercen el arte de gobernar (statecraft) con actos conscientes e inconscientes, para gestionar las tensiones de los diferentes involucrados es una política pública.

Amnesty in the Age of Human Rights Accountability
This edited volume brings together well-established and emerging scholars of transitional justice to discuss the persistence of amnesty in the age of human rights accountability. The volume attempts to reframe debates, moving beyond the limited approaches of 'truth versus justice' or 'stability versus accountability' in which many of these issues have been cast in the existing scholarship. The theoretical and empirical contributions in this book offer new ways of understanding and tackling the enduring persistence of amnesty in the age of accountability. In addition to cross-national studies, the volume encompasses eleven country cases of amnesty for past human rights violations: Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Uganda and Uruguay. The volume goes beyond merely describing these case studies, but also considers what we learn from them in terms of overcoming impunity and promoting accountability to contribute to improvements in human rights and democracy.
