ABSTRACT There is an important academic conversation happening about how social movements adopt, use, and configure Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for political participation. This dissertation contributes to that conversation by taking a holistic look at ICTs, throughout a social movement's emergence and development, while considering its context, its organizational structures and sense-making processes. I explore the case of the Honduran National Front Against the Coup (NFAC), a relevant case due to its similarities with other movements, like the use of social media, the support from the international community and its geographically dispersed networks; but also, particular in its political and ICT context. Guided by the Contentious Politics Model (CPM) asked an overarching research question: What is the role of Information and Communication Technologies in the emergence and development of the National Front Against the Coup? I also asked three second-level questions: (1) How does the Honduran Resistance Movement relate ICTs to political Opportunity Structures? (2) What role do ICTs play in creating and supporting the movement's organizational structures, and in preparing and carrying out visible movement episodes? (3) How does the NFAC use ICTs to shape its attitudes, identities and competences? I conducted a single embedded exploratory case study guided by the extended case method where I studied the NFAC in a sequence of interconnected time periods called Collective Action Framing Episodes (CAFEs). Data were reconstructive narratives from primary and secondary sources. The movement's use of ICTs for mobilizing social support for their cause can be considered an improvised subversive response to the institutionalized political environment. The movement's regional affiliates formed a loosely coupled extended organization, which allowed the affiliates a degree of autonomy to do their oppositional work while remaining fully aligned with the movement's priorities. ICTs allowed the movement to broadcast its messages across the network to "socialize" the affiliates and ensure they were all on the same page. This lose confederation, coordinated through ICTs allowed the NFAC to dynamically reconfigure and rearrange its regional affiliates as needed. I found instances of resourcefulness and improvisation, both in the way individual media platforms were used, and in the way these platforms were combined and recombined to move ahead. Thus, the intellectual contribution of this study is twofold: The first one is an expansion of the CPM (Contentious Politics Model). I propose that ICTs don't drive revolutions, but neither are they simply tools. There is a dynamic relation as environmental conditions (OS) like policies, institutions, ICT ownership, media centralization, shape the way social movements configure ICTs, and ICTs configurations by social movements can influence environmental conditions. The same way ICT configurations can be determined by he availability, collaboration and connectedness of civil society organizations within the movement (MS), and their relations can be influenced by ICT configurations. Therefore, by playing a reflexive role in the process of frame creation, ICTs are embedded in every level of the social movement emergence and development. The second contribution is an operative framework and analytical tool to study the interactions between social movements, institutions, and ICTs. The model uses CAFEs (Collective Action Framing Episodes), a composed construct that allows integrating several levels of analysis into one unit of analysis.

  • Letter from the Government of Honduras on Actions Taken
    Appendix 13 – Letter from the Government of Honduras on actions taken OFFICIAL LETTER No.1077-DGPE/DSM-10 Tegucigalpa, June 4, 2010 Excellency, It is my honor to present my compliments and to say that the purpose of this letter in follow- up to the two notes sent to the international community in April 2010 is to express our desire for genuine understanding of the situation in our country and that the international community be suitably and correctly informed of the efforts of the Government of Honduras to implement a real process of national unity and reconciliation. I should begin by drawing attention to the fact that our president, Mr. Porfirio Lobo Sosa, has set about the task of leading the country with the strength afforded him by the legitimacy of a transparent election extensively observed by the international community, in which the majority of the people of Honduras clearly, lawfully, and unmistakably expressed their will in the search for peace, stability, and restored unity. This electoral process, called by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal under the administration of former President Zelaya Rosales, was preceded by the primary elections in which all legally registered political parties chose their candidates to the National Congress, Municipalities, and the Presidency of the Republic, a process monitored by international observers—including those from the Organization of American States (OAS)—who noted the transparency and success thereof. I am at pains to draw your attention to the fact that Article 51 of the Constitution of Honduras defines the Supreme Electoral Tribunal as an autonomous and independent entity responsible for the convocation, organization, direction, and supervision of electoral processes.

  • LIFE and WORK in the BANANA FINCAS of the NORTH COAST of HONDURAS, 1944-1957 a Dissertation
    CAMPEÑAS, CAMPEÑOS Y COMPAÑEROS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda January 2011 © 2011 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda CAMPEÑAS Y CAMPEÑOS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 On May 1st, 1954 banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill in the biggest labor strike ever to influence Honduras, which invigorated the labor movement and reverberated throughout the country. This dissertation examines the experiences of campeños and campeñas, men and women who lived and worked in the banana fincas (plantations) of the Tela Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, and the Standard Fruit Company in the period leading up to the strike of 1954. It describes the lives, work, and relationships of agricultural workers in the North Coast during the period, traces the development of the labor movement, and explores the formation of a banana worker identity and culture that influenced labor and politics at the national level. This study focuses on the years 1944-1957, a period of political reform, growing dissent against the Tiburcio Carías Andino dictatorship, and worker agency and resistance against companies' control over workers and the North Coast banana regions dominated by U.S. companies. Actions and organizing among many unheralded banana finca workers consolidated the powerful general strike and brought about national outcomes in its aftermath, including the state's institution of the labor code and Ministry of Labor.

  • The World Factbook Central America and Caribbean
    The World Factbook Central America and Caribbean :: Honduras Introduction :: Honduras Background: Once part of Spain's vast empire in the New World, Honduras became an independent nation in 1821. After two and a half decades of mostly military rule, a freely elected civilian government came to power in 1982. During the 1980s, Honduras proved a haven for anti-Sandinista contras fighting the Marxist Nicaraguan Government and an ally to Salvadoran Government forces fighting leftist guerrillas. The country was devastated by Hurricane Mitch in 1998, which killed about 5,600 people and caused approximately $2 billion in damage. Since then, the economy has slowly rebounded. Geography :: Honduras Location: Central America, bordering the Caribbean Sea, between Guatemala and Nicaragua and bordering the Gulf of Fonseca (North Pacific Ocean), between El Salvador and Nicaragua Geographic coordinates: 15 00 N, 86 30 W Map references: Central America and the Caribbean Area: total: 112,090 sq km country comparison to the world: 103 land: 111,890 sq km water: 200 sq km Area - comparative: slightly larger than Tennessee Land boundaries: total: 1,520 km border countries: Guatemala 256 km, El Salvador 342 km, Nicaragua 922 km Coastline: Caribbean Sea 669 km; Gulf of Fonseca 163 km Maritime claims: territorial sea: 12 nm contiguous zone: 24 nm exclusive economic zone: 200 nm continental shelf: natural extension of territory or to 200 nm Climate: subtropical in lowlands, temperate in mountains Terrain: mostly mountains in interior, narrow coastal plains Elevation

Among the over 3,000 accounts pulled down were the accounts of the Honduran government-owned television station Televisión Nacional de Honduras, several content creator accounts, accounts linked to several presidential initiatives, and some “like-for- likes” accounts likely in the follower-building stage. Interestingly, a subset of accounts in the dataset are related to self-identified artists, writers, feminists and intellectuals who largely posted tweets critical of the Honduran president. 1.1 Summary Statistics The Honduras takedown consists of 3,104 accounts and 1,165,019 tweets. 553,211 tweets were original and 611,808 were retweets. Accounts dated as far back as 2008, but roughly two thirds were created in the last year. Figure 1: Accounts created per day, 11/21/2008 – 1/3/2020 The rate of tweets swelled as the number of accounts grew, but with distinct peaks that coincided with several events in Honduras, including the start of the president’s re-election bid in 2015.

  • Historical and Geographic Distribution in Honduras
    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 375 15 April 2021 Bats in time: Historical and Geographic Distribution in Honduras Manfredo A. Turcios-Casco, Richard K. LaVal, Don E. Wilson, and Hefer D. Ávila-Palma Abstract Bat records from Honduras reported herein are based on 11,163 individuals representing 113 species and eight families, recorded from 1860 to 2020. The Global Biodiversity Informa- tion Facility (GBIF) and published records were used to document the history of bat collecting in Honduras, and the number of species expected for the country and their relative abundance were estimated. Herein, the first checklist available for each department in Honduras is provided, as well as a discussion of the history of bat research in the country, including three peaks that oc- curred in 1967–69, 1983, and 2001. The geographic position of Honduras and the variety of its ecosystems combine to promote a diversity of bat species that are typical of regions to both the north and the south of Honduras. Despite the relatively large number of specimens known from the country, details of the distribution and natural history of each species remain understudied. Key words: Central America, Chiroptera, Honduras, natural history, relative abundance Resumen Los registros de murciélagos de Honduras que se describen en este documento se basan en 11,163 individuos que representan 113 especies y ocho familias, registrados desde 1860 hasta 2020. El Fondo de Información sobre Biodiversidad Global (GBIF) y los registros publicados se utilizaron para documentar la historia de la recolección de murciélagos en Honduras. Además se estimó el número de especies esperadas para el país y se describe la abundancia relativa de todas las especie.

LADB Article Id: 80492 ISSN: 1089-1560 As Honduran President Prepares for New Term, Doubts Persist Regarding Vote Count by George Rodríguez Category/Department: Honduras Published: 2018-01-11 The messy outcome of the recent presidential election in Honduras was nothing close to a surprise, considering the fact that, by nature, politics in this Central American nation are, at best, complicated. Promoted by the rightist and ruling Partido Nacional (National Party, PN), incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernández rode on his administration’s slogan, Honduras está cambiando (Honduras is changing), stressing that his social and security achievements needed four more years to be further strengthened (NotiCen, Jan. 5, 2017, April 20, 2017, Sept. 14, 2017). The center-left Alianza de Oposición Contra la Dictadura (Opposition Alliance Against the Dictatorship), with Salvador Nasralla, a sports journalist and television host as its presidential choice, came out with a powerful message accusing Hernández of leading a corrupt and repressive regime, arguing that he would surely rig the vote to ensure his re-election.

Hondurans are scheduled to go to the polls to elect a new government on Nov. 29 and to inaugurate a new president in January 2010. Faced with a string of time-outs and delays for all manner of procedural purposes in what he views as reinstatement talks, Zelaya has sought to retake control of a situation that finds his country run by a group headed by the former president of the Congress, Roberto Micheletti. No country recognizes this group as a legitimate government, and no country has withdrawn recognition of the Zelaya administration.
