Políticas de juventudes y participación política
Este libro reúne experiencias de diferentes latitudes, que apelan a distintas perspectivas y que abordan temáticas diversas, pero a la vez puede ser leído desde una clave común: un conjunto de trabajos preocupados por dar cuenta de las múltiples aristas que conforman la condición juvenil contemporánea. De esta forma, brinda un panorama para comprender diferentes procesos y el lugar de los jóvenes en ellos, indagando tanto la esfera estatal en la producción del sujeto joven desde las políticas públicas, como en las prácticas políticas que se entrelazan en agrupaciones y movimientos con determinadas representaciones sobre la juventud, muchas veces en disputa con los propios jóven...
Militar en el gobierno : generaciones de militancia juvenil en los gobiernos argentinos y brasileros (2003-2015/2016).
¿Qué características asumieron las juventudes militantes afines a los gobiernos del PT en Brasil y kirchneristas en Argentina? ¿Cómo eran vistas por el resto del activismo oficialista?La formación teórico-política, la disposición a realizar tareas militantes, el compromiso voluntario o profesionalizado, la construcción y estabilidad del lazo político, la dimensión ritual de los actos y de la movilización, y la representación visual y simbólica de la militancia en las campañas electorales televisivas. ¿Cómo aparecen estos elementos en las juventudes recientes y cómo se manifestaban en el pasado?
Democratic Brazil Revisited
Brazil presents a compelling example of twenty-first century democracy in action. In this sequel to their landmark study Democratic Brazil, editors Peter Kingstone and Timothy J. Power have assembled a distinguished group of U.S.- and Brazilian-based scholars to assess the impact of competitive politics on Brazilian government, institutions, economics, and society. The 2002 election of Lula da Silva and his Worker's Party promised a radical shift toward progressive reform, transparency, and accountability, opposing the earlier centrist and market-oriented policies of the Cardoso government. But despite the popular support reflected in his 2006 reelection, many observers claim that Lula and h...
Partisan Publics
During the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil struggled to rebuild its democracy after twenty years of military dictatorship, experiencing financial crises, corruption scandals, political protest, and intense electoral contention. In the midst of this turmoil, Ann Mische argues in this remarkable book, youth activists of various stripes played a vital and unrecognized role, contributing new forms of political talk and action to Brazil's emerging democracy. Drawing upon extensive and rich ethnography as well as formal network analysis, Mische tracks the lives of young activists through intersecting political networks, including student movements, church-based activism, political parties, nongovernmental...
The Transformation of the Workers' Party in Brazil, 1989-2009
Drawing on historical institutionalism and strategic frameworks, this book analyzes the evolution of the Workers' Party between 1989, the year of Lula's first presidential bid, and 2009, when his second presidential term entered its final stretch. The book's primary purpose is to understand why and how the once-radical Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) moderated the programmatic positions it endorsed and adopted other aspects of a more catch-all electoral strategy, thereby increasing its electoral appeal. At the same time, the book seeks to shed light on why some of the PT's distinctive normative commitments and organizational practices have endured in the face of adaptations aimed at expanding the party's vote share. The conclusion asks whether, in the face of these changes and continuities, the PT can still be considered a mass organized party of the left.
