Fighting the tide
This text forms part of a long-term project undertaken by Dejusticia as part of its international work. The project revolves around the Global Action-Research Workshop for Young Human Rights Advocates that Dejusticia organizes each year to foster connections among and train a new generation of action researchers. The workshop helps participants develop action-research tools, understood as the combination of rigorous research and practical experience in social justice causes. For ten days, Dejusticia brings approximately fifteen participants and ten expert instructors to Colombia for a series of practical and interactive sessions on research, narrative writing, multimedia communication, and s...
Justice through Transitions
What does justice mean in times of transition? What kinds of possibilities and dissapointments emerge from processes of seeking justice through transition? How might we understand these processes through narrative? In August 2015, a group of Global South human rights activists and researchers gathered in Colombia for a workshop organized around the theme of transitional justice. This book, the third in a series, is the result of the discussions performed in that encounter. The chapters in this volume illustrate many complexities of transitional justice processes from the perspective of young human rights advocates involved in these struggles, many with their own complicated personal connecti...

The Coming Age of Direct Democracy
This book examines the unique form of democracy that has been taking shape in California since the historic recall of Gray Davis and the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2003. The authors examine how Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership has encouraged the growth of direct democracy, in which public policy decisions are made by voters at the ballot box rather than by elected representatives in the legislature. Using the Public Policy Institute of California Statewide Surveys, which include interviews with more than 150,000 Californians, Baldassare and Katz detail the transformation in the state's political climate and the public attitudes behind this change. The authors conclude that this transformation will likely take place in other states, perhaps even nationwide, and offer recommendations for ways to improve policymaking in a hybrid democracy.

¿Cómo pensar la desigualdad desde los derechos humanos?
Una constatación evidente recorre hoy las experiencias políticas de países diversos: las herramientas democráticas y los instrumentos de derechos humanos –que han provocado avances innegables en la vida de millones de personas– resultan en gran medida insuficientes para evitar las formas extremas de marginación. En otras palabras, si bien los derechos humanos fueron fundamentales para visibilizar inequidades basadas en factores como el género y la identidad étnico-racial, está claro que coexisten con la permanencia de desigualdades socioeconómicas, y con el ascenso de populismos autoritarios que jaquean a las narrativas de derechos humanos en todo el mundo. Entre quienes señala...
Por un medio ambiente sano que promueva los derechos humanos en el Sur Global
Día a día, constatamos que estamos creando (y destruyendo) un planeta a nuestra imagen y semejanza. Para decirlo crudamente: los rastros del plástico –en las rocas, en los mares, en los estómagos de los peces y las aves– probablemente serán la huella más visible que dejaremos para la posteridad. En un mundo que parece incapaz de frenar la carrera contaminante y depredadora, ¿podemos esperar innovaciones promisorias para una vida digna y plena? Este libro da señales de que sí, en cuanto el derecho al ambiente sano va en camino a ser reconocido a escala global. Su perspectiva contempla antecedentes en movimientos indígenas y luchas campesinas y urbanas contra el cambio climático...
