Open Government and Targeted Transparency
Transparency and integrity are key factors in consolidating democratic governance and deepening the modernization of the state. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been supporting country efforts to achieve open government, providing technical support and knowledge on transparency in the LAC region. With the support of the Norwegian government, the IDB created the Anticorruption Activities Trust Fund (AAF), aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the Bank's borrowing countries in their efforts to prevent and control corruption. After four years in operation, the fund has gained recognition, both inside and outside the Bank, as a source of innovation and best practices in terms of access to information and targeted transparency. This publication compiles some of the experiences and lessons learned from five different countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala), with direct support from the AAF.
Gobierno abierto y transparencia focalizada
La transparencia y la integridad son factores clave para consolidar la gobernabilidad democrática y profundizar la modernización del Estado. El Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) ha respaldado los esfuerzos de los países de América Latina y el Caribe para lograr abrir los gobiernos, posicionándose como una fuente principal de apoyo técnico y generación de conocimiento en temas de transparencia en la región. Con el apoyo del gobierno de Noruega, el BID creó el Fondo Fiduciario para Actividades contra la Corrupción, con el propósito de fortalecer la capacidad institucional de los países prestatarios en sus esfuerzos para prevenir y controlar la corrupción. Después de cuatro años de operación, el Fondo ha ganado reconocimiento dentro y fuera del Banco por ser un instrumento catalizador de innovación y buenas prácticas en materia de acceso a la información y transparencia focalizada. En este informe se recogen algunas de las experiencias y lecciones aprendidas en cinco países (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador y Guatemala) con apoyo directo del Fondo.
Regardless of Frontiers
The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 proclaimed a vision of freedom of expression exercised regardless of frontiers. Nonetheless, laws and norms regarding the freedom or limits of expression are typically established and understood at the national level. In today’s interconnected world, newfound threats to free expression have suddenly arisen. How can this fundamental right be secured at a global level? This volume brings together leading experts from a variety of fields to critically evaluate the extent to which global norms on freedom of expression and information have been established and which actors and institutions have contributed to their diffusion.

Corrupción en Colombia - Tomo IV: Corrupción, Estado e Instrumentos Jurídicos
Con una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que integra información jurídica, social y económica, en este tomo los autores examinan no solo cómo y hasta qué punto el Estado ha sido capturado por la corrupción, sino también las herramientas que se deben desarrollar para erradicar este mal endémico. La falta de transparencia, el escaso control ciudadano a la gestión pública y fallas en el diseño institucional de los organismos del Estado incentivan las prácticas corruptas en todas las ramas del poder público. El enfoque represivo, en este caso la política punitiva tradicional, ha demostrado ser insuficiente para combatir la corrupción; de ahí que las investigaciones aquí contenidas concuerden en que es necesario fortalecer mecanismos alternativos como el control interno, poner énfasis en la implementación de medidas preventivas y fomentar la tecnificación y las buenas prácticas en el ejercicio de funciones estatales.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
