America Latina y el Caribe - Gobernabilidad Democratica: Politica, Ciudadania, Exclusion, Memoria y Demografia (Spanish, Paperback)

A finales de la decada de los setenta se inicia la tercera ola de la democracia. America Latina rompio el ciclo politico que entre 1945-1978 produjo frecuentes oscilaciones entre regimenes democraticos y autoritarios. Por primera vez algunos paises experimentaron los procesos democraticos. A pesar de este hito historico, aun persisten amenazas para la consolidacion democratica. Los Estados deben enfrentar problemas de corrupcion, erosion de los Estados de Derecho, altos niveles de impunidad, falta de transparencia en las acciones gubernamentales, asi como altas tasas de desempleo, desigualdad, pobreza y violencia. Lo anterior se traduce en crecientes sentimientos anti-politicos y anti-democraticos en la region. La necesidad de generar politicas publicas en torno a la consolidacion de la gobernabilidad democratica es una de las razones por las cuales FLACSO esta desarrollando el proyecto "Gobernabilidad y convivencia democratica en America Latina" con el auspicio de la Agencia Espanola de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID). Este libro se inserta en este proyecto y recoge los aportes de los Consejeros a Titulo Individual de la FLACSO. Los autores contribuyen con la generacion de conocimiento sobre la gobernabilidad democratica desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, desde la politica, la ciudadania, la exclusion, la memoria y la demografia.

Latin America and the Caribbean: Democratic Governability
Politics, Citizenship, Exclusion, Memory and Demography
The late 1970s saw the beginning of the third wave of democracy. Latin America broke the political cycle that from 1945-1978 produced frequent oscillations between democratic and authoritarian regimes. Some countries experienced democratic processes for the first time. Despite this historic milestone, threats to democratic consolidation still persist. States must confront problems of corruption, the erosion of the rule of law, high levels of impunity, a lack of transparency in government actions, and high levels of unemployment, inequality, poverty and violence. This translates into increasing anti-political and anti-democratic feeling in the region. The need to generate public policies centered around the consolidation of democratic governability is one of the reasons why FLACSO is developing the project entitled "Governability and Democratic Coexistence in Latin America and the Caribbean," sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). This book is part of that project and brings together the contributions of the Independent Advisors to FLACSO. The authors contribute towards the generation of knowledge on democratic governability in an interdisciplinary approach, from the perspectives of politics, citizenship, exclusion, memory and demography.
