The Social Outburst and Political Representation in Chile
This is the first book in English to present a comprehensive analysis of the October 2019 social outbreak in Chile and its consequences for the country’s political system. For almost 30 years (1990-2019), Chile was recognized as a model of political and economic stability in Latin America, but the 2019 protests put into question the whole structure of representation based on programmatic political parties. This contributed volume analyzes the causes of the social outbreak by examining the interaction between political parties and social movements in Chile since 2000, establishing bridges between the sociology of social movements and the political science of parties and forms of traditional...
An Introduction to Visual Culture
In the fully rewritten third edition of this classic text, Nicholas Mirzoeff introduces visual culture as visual activism, or activating the visible. In this view, visual culture is a practice: a way of doing, making, and seeing. The 12 new chapters begin with five foundational concepts, including Indigenous ways of seeing, visual activism in the wake of slavery, and unfixing the gaze. The second section outlines three currently successful tactics of visual activism: removal of statues and monuments; restitution of cultural property; and practices of repair and reparations. The final section addresses catastrophe and trauma, from Palestine’s Nakba to the climate disaster and the intersections of plague and war. Each section also includes new, in-depth case studies called "Visualizations," ranging from oil painting to Kongo power figures and the mediated practice of taking a knee. Engaging with questions of racializing, colonialism, and undoing gender throughout, this edition maps the activist turn in the field since 2014 and sets directions for its future expansion. This is a key text in visual culture studies and an essential resource for research and teaching in the field.
Migration in South America
This open access regional reader examines emerging issues around new migration patterns in South America and their relationship with changing migration policies over the last twenty years. The first part of the book looks at conceptual discussions on mixed and survival migration, the link between migration and extractivism, and the specific character of transit migration. A second part examines how these debates have led to transformations in state policies, and the shift in government policies from a human rights-based approach towards more restrictive ones. Finally, the third section revisits the relationship between racism, xenophobia and colonialism in contemporary migrations. As such this book makes an interesting read to students, academics, policy makers and all those working in the field.
The Power of Energy Justice & the Social Contract
This open access book focuses on the energy sector and will make a significant contribution to its continued evolution. For many years, the energy sector has been missing a raison d’etre and now finally there are increased calls for that to be justice. Hence, this book will develop the concept of energy justice and how it needs to be formalised in a new ‘social contract’ with all stakeholders in society. The focus will be on improving legal systems at local, national and international levels while ensuring that justice is a core issue within energy law, the legal system and more broadly in society.
Analyzing Public Policies in Latin America
This book gathers together papers that present research on public policies in Latin America, all of which adopt a cognitive approach. This theoretical framework is based on the analysis of public policy from a cognitive and normative perspective; more specifically, through the concepts of paradigm, frame of reference and advocacy coalition. In this sense, the main questions posed here are: what paradigms have Latin American public policies followed lately? How have the paradigms responded to ...
State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain
Neoliberalism is often studied as a political ideology, a government program, and even as a pattern of cultural identities. However, less attention is paid to the specific institutional resources employed by neoliberal administrations, which have resulted in the configuration of a neoliberal state model. This accessible volume compiles original essays on the neoliberal era in Latin America and Spain, exploring subjects such as neoliberal public policies, power strategies, institutional resources, popular support, and social protest. The book focuses on neoliberalism as a state model: a configuration of public power designed to implement radical policy proposals. This is the third volume in the State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain series, which aims to complete and advance research and knowledge about national states in Latin America and Spain.

Una agencia de evaluación de políticas públicas para Chile:
El libro expone los criterios sobre los cuales podría construirse una Agencia de Evaluación de las Políticas Públicas en Chile. Con esa finalidad analiza la evolución que ha tenido la evaluación de políticas públicas en el país, la experiencia de 11 países con trayectoria en el tema y la opinión de actores relevantes en el proceso de las políticas públicas. El libro expresa la necesidad de establecer un sistema de evaluación de políticas públicas, con articulación estable entre sus componentes, que aborde tanto los aspectos sustantivos, como los presupuestarios, que expanda sensiblemente las prácticas de evaluación, desde el punto de vista de la cantidad de políticas evaluadas y de las etapas en que esa evaluación se realiza, y que promueva con fuerza una cultura de la evaluación en todos los órganos del Estado.
Formulación de políticas públicas indígenas en Chile
Este libro presenta los primeros resultados del Proyecto fondecyt iniciacion 11110052 de conicyt, donde se analiza el proceso de formulación de la política pública indígena en el caso chileno para el periodo 1990 y 2010. Así, este libro se enfoca en el análisis del por qué la “temática indígena” se instaló en la agenda de gobierno, los factores del contexto que incidieron en la toma de decisiones y los valores e intereses en juego que predominaron a la hora de definir la política. Para ello se desarrolla un modelo de síntesis y análisis desde el enfoque de las corrientes múltiples (multiple stream) de John Kingdom (1995), y el enfoque del diseño político y construcción social provisto por Ingram y Schneider (1997). Este libro se convierte en un aporte a la discusión en torno a los procesos de política indígena en Chile, aportando información relevante para practitioners y académicos, contribuyendo a la investigación en esta temática.
Cómo funciona nuestra democracia
Chile vive un momento histórico. Nos enfrentamos a una crisis de legitimidad y confianza, un cuestionamiento a las desigualdades y discriminaciones de nuestra sociedad, que se han acrecentado mientras vivimos una pandemia de alcance global. Estas experiencias nos han hecho cuestionar la forma en que vivimos y organizamos el poder político. Cómo funciona nuestra democracia es un libro colaborativo que fue escrito desde la paridad y la multidisciplinariedad y su objetivo central es plantearnos aquellos temas e interrogantes que están estrechamente relacionados con la configuración de la democracia chilena. Escrito y revisado en medio de una pandemia, este volumen ofrece un análisis actual del país, pero además señala algunos caminos para la construcción de una sociedad diferente en la cual, sin duda, aportará a los debates fundamentales que estamos desarrollando como sociedad durante este y los próximos años.
