Despite the large number of regional and global summits there is
very little known about the functioning and impact of this
particular type of diplomatic practice. While recognizing that the
growing importance of summits is a universal phenomenon, this
volume takes advantage of the richness of the Americas experiment
to offer a theoretically grounded comparative analysis of
contemporary summitry. The book addresses questions such as: How
effective have summits been ? How have civil society and other
non-state actors been involved in summits? How have summits
impacted on the management of regional affairs? Filling a
significant void in the literature, this volume offers an original
contribution helping to understand how summitry has become a
central feature of world politics. It will be of great interest to
students and scholars of diplomacy, international organizations,
and global/regional governance.

This book explores street art's contributions to democracy in Latin
America through a comparative study of five cities: Bogota
(Colombia), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Valparaiso (Chile), Oaxaca (Mexico)
and Havana (Cuba). The author argues that when artists invade
public space for the sake of disseminating rage, claims or
statements, they behave as urban citizens who try to raise public
awareness, nurture public debates and hold authorities accountable.
Street art also reveals how public space is governed. When local
authorities try to contain, regulate or repress public space
invasions, they can achieve their goals democratically if they
dialogue with the artists and try to reach a consensus inspired by
a conception of the city as a commons. Under specific conditions,
the book argues, street level democracy and collaborative
governance can overlap, prompting a democratization of democracy.
