It is a warm, austral spring Monday in the Capital of Chile. Metro stations are tingling with students and workers ready to encapsulate themselves in underground trains to commute as usual. The ticket fee has just been raised by 30 pesos. A group of young people decide to protest evading the fare. Placing their hands on the turnstile columns, one by one, they leap over the metal bar. This small gesture of disobedience spreads and intensifies with tremendous speed. On October 18, 2019, the government orders to close the entire Santiago subway. It is the day designated as the incipit of the estallido social, the Chilean social outbreak. This modest pretext is the fuse that set off a far-reachi...
This Oxford Handbook details the constitutions and constitutional history of Latin America, providing comparative analysis of the prevailing institutional models and major themes in the region's constitutionalism.
¿Por qué fracasó la Convención Constitucional? Pese a las esperanzas, los sueños y las ilusiones, esta institución caótica, a ratos anárquica, se granjeó el rechazo del mismo pueblo que decía representar. Esta indagación se detiene a observar los sucesos ocurridos en un año que condensa, como un tornado, las últimas y turbulentas décadas del país. A partir de las sesiones plenarias, se inquiere en los intersticios del naufragio. El relato no se limita a una colección de anécdotas, o ajustes de cuentas, sino que se juega por ofrecer una explicación profunda de lo ocurrido. En la Convención abundó el resentimiento. Las izquierdas lanzan su resentimiento contra los ricos, lo...
Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile seeks to overcome an existing void in the literature of Latin American studies addressing the impact of Chile’s post dictatorial legal framework on its historically and structurally disadvantaged groups, concentrating on the various issues and challenges that affect them. Within its eleven chapters it explores the changing social and legal status of LGBTI people, the political disenfranchisement and the social exclusion that affects imprisoned individuals, the harshness of policing on poor and marginalized communities, the deprivation of indigenous peoples of meaningful rights, the vulnerability that affects workers as a consequence of the exis...
Latin America provides a compelling case for the study of migration policies and laws, with several factors – including both internal and interregional migration and refugee flows, the region’s progressive approach to the management of human mobility, and several forced displacement crises of the contemporary era – offering unique insights. Despite the region’s heterogeneous migration flows and unique immigration and refugee laws, the academic literature has thus far lacked in-depth explorations of migration policy in Latin America. Voluntary and Forced Migration in Latin America presents a comparative analysis of the migration legislation of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuad...
Das Parlament Chiles erweist sich als ein geschwächtes Verfassungsorgan. Die Verfassung spricht dem Präsidenten wesentliche Gesetzgebungskompetenzen im Hinblick auf Gesetzesinitiative und Vetorecht zu, zudem eigenständige Rechtsetzungsbefugnisse in Form von Gesetzesdekreten. Bei anderen Gelegenheiten hat der Gesetzgeber die Gerichte ermächtigt, durch Autos Acordados Gerichtsverfahren zu regeln. Die Dekrete mit Gesetzeskraft und die Autos Acordados sind Erscheinungsformen einer "Entparlamentarisierung" der Rechtsetzung, die sich auf wichtige verfassungsrechtliche Fragen auswirkt, etwa auf die verfassungsstaatliche Funktionenteilung und auf die Bestimmung des Zwecks der Ausübung der öffentlichen Gewalt.
Neste livro, todas as vozes vêm das ruas, trazendo consigo a potência política dos combates verdadeiros. Das periferias, dos territórios espoliados, das vidas precárias, dos sem-teto e sem-aposentadoria. São as vozes dos transgressores, daqueles que conscientemente querem escapar ao controle neoliberal e, para isso, confeccionam uma nova historicidade solidária que alimenta a luta coletiva. São os criadores de uma "poética da rebelião", artífices da disputa pelo poder que se expressa com simbolismo nas palavras dos muros, nas performances feministas, nos murais, na derrubada dos monumentos, em cada palmo dos territórios convertidos ao utilitarismo do capital. Esta obra oferece ao...
