William Nylen begins by discussing North Americans' love-hate relationship with politics and politicians, then shows how Brazilians feel the same way (as do many citizens of democracies throughout the world). He argues that this is so because contemporary democracies have increasingly trickled up and away from so-called 'average citizens'. We now live in a world of 'Elitist Democracies' essentially constructed of, by and for moneyed, well-connected and ethically-challenged elites. Fortunately, there are alternatives, and that's where Brazil offers valuable lessons. Experiments in local-level participatory democracy, put into practice in Brazil by the Workers Party show both the promise and the practical limitations of efforts to promote 'popular participation' and citizen empowerment.
À luz do conceito de democracia, o texto discute virtudes e vicissitudes do processo de provimento de equipes diretivas das unidades educacionais públicas do município de Curitiba/Paraná, onde, desde 1983, há normativas sobre consulta à comunidade para escolha de direções escolares. Não obstante, a operacionalização desta legislação não foi analisada quanto a sua efetividade como princípio democrático, foco deste estudo. No Brasil, além do imperativo constitucional para a gestão democrática da educação (art. 206), a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB 9394/96) impõe a cada sistema a definição de normas de gestão democrática do ensino público. Aind...
Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to inc...
