Lino Cesar Oviedo, in the border city of Foz do Iguacu on June 11. Oviedo disappeared Dec. 9, 1999, from Argentina, where he had been given political asylum by former Argentine President Carlos Saul Menem (1989-1999). Oviedo had fled to Argentina in March 1999 following the assassination of Vice President Luis Maria Argana (see NotiSur, 1999-03-26). He disappeared the day before President Fernando de la Rua took office, evidently concerned that de la Rua, who had said he would review Oviedo's asylum status, would consider Paraguay's request for extradition. In several interviews with various newspapers since he dropped out of sight, Oviedo insisted he was "somewhere" in Paraguay. In April, Paraguayan police launched an unsuccessful search for Oviedo in Ciudad del Este, on the Paraguayan side of the Parana River across from Foz do Iguacu, after intelligence reports suggested he was hiding there.

  • Paraguay (From Wikipedia)
    Paraguay (from Wikipedia) Paraguay (/ˈpærəɡwaɪ/; Spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj]; Guarani: Paraguái, [paɾaˈɰwaj]), officially the Republic of Paraguay (Spanish: República del Paraguay; Guarani: Tetã Paraguái), is a landlocked country in central South America, bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the center of the country from north to south. Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as Corazón de Sudamérica ("Heart of South America").[9] Paraguay is one of the two landlocked countries (the other is Bolivia) outside Afro-Eurasia, and is the smallest[10] landlocked country in the Americas. The indigenous Guaraní had been living in eastern Paraguay for at least a millennium before the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. Western Paraguay, the Gran Chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the Guaycuru peoples were the most prominent. In the 17th century, Jesuit missions introduced Christianity and Spanish culture to the region. Paraguay was a peripheral colony of the Spanish Empire, with few urban centers and settlers. Following independence from Spain in 1811, Paraguay was ruled by a series of dictators who generally implemented isolationist and protectionist policies. Following the disastrous Paraguayan War (1864–1870), the country lost 60 to 70 percent of its population through war and disease, and about 140,000 square kilometers (54,000 sq mi), one quarter of its territory, to Argentina and Brazil. Through the 20th century, Paraguay continued to endure a succession of authoritarian governments, culminating in the regime of Alfredo Stroessner, who led South America's longest- lived military dictatorship from 1954 to 1989.

  • Law As the Handmaid of Politics: the Case of Paraguay by Mario Ramos-Reyes, Ph.D
    Law As The Handmaid of Politics: The Case of Paraguay by Mario Ramos-Reyes, Ph.D. Abstract What is the role of law in Latin America? And, what is the role of culture? The recent history of the Republic of Paraguay serves as a useful case study to address these questions. The historical facts are beyond dispute. Paraguay has had three different Constitutions over the past seventy years but one fundamental question remains unresolved. To what extent is a paternalistic-nationalistic form of executive power, ranging from the “inorganic” (Rousseaunian) character to the heavy influence of the “caudillista” style influence the legal system? Professor Ramos-Reyes, an expert in Latin American politics, explores how political needs and cultural aspirations have influenced the shape of the diverse legal forms of the executive power, mainly but not exclusively on the Paraguayan experience since the 1930s. What were the ideas behind the periodic changes of constitutions? Does it follow then that constitutions may be changed for the sake of political expediency to support and legitimize non-democratic values? The current realities of Paraguay in particular and Latin America in general, seem to support the author’s thesis. “What confuses the spirit even more is the use that [people] make of these words: democracy, democratic institutions, democratic government. If we do not define them clearly, and understand these definitions, we will live in a confusion of inextricable ideas, benefiting all demagogues and despots.” Alexis de Tocqueville1 A. Introduction: Problems and Questions On the eve of November 3, 2005, hundreds of supporters of General Alfredo Stroessner, former president of Paraguay, gathered in a central location in the capital Asunción, to celebrate the ninety-third birthday of the dictator exiled to Brazil since his overthrow in 1989.

Resumen Nos proponemos reconstruir discursivamente las candidaturas presidenciales más importantes del 2008, en el que participaron en la contienda electoral paraguaya Fernando Lugo (2008- 2012); Blanca Ovelar (primera mujer en candidatearse a la presidencia por un partido tradicional, el Partido Colorado) y Lino Oviedo (ex militar asociado a intentos de golpe) para comprender las trayectorias políticas, los factores de la personalidad de cada uno de ellos prevalecieron en la construcción de la narrativa electoral, y los recursos simbólicos, estilísticos y discursivos utilizados por cada candidato. Estas elecciones se caracterizaron por permitir, por primera vez, el acceso al sillón presidencial de un candidato outsider; y por enfrentar a representes de tres emblemáticos grupos sociales: una mujer (en un país con una gran problemática de desigualdad de género), un ex militar (luego de muchos años de gobierno dictatorial) y a un ex obispo (en un Estado donde la Iglesia católica tiene mucha preponderancia).

Colombia Internacional (98): 31-65. https://doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint98.2019.02 RECIBIDO: 15 de agosto de 2017 ACEPTADO: 17 de diciembre de 2017 MODIFICADO: 1 de marzo de 2018 https://doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint98.2019.02 RESUMEN: Objetivo/contexto: El trabajo realiza un estudio de caso de la democratización paraguaya y debate las hipótesis de una transición incompleta y de una democracia estable de baja calidad. Se presenta y analiza la transición desde 1989, a partir de los principales modelos analíticos del proceso, con el desarrollo de la estructura institucional, el comportamiento de los principales actores políticos del proceso y el comportamiento ciudadano. Metodología: El estudio de caso hace una periodización de la transición paraguaya, listando los principales eventos y actores centrales. Para examinar la capacidad institucional fueron utilizados los datos aportados por el IDD-Lat entre 2002 y 2016, mientras que el comportamiento ciudadano fue analizado a partir de los datos del Latinobarómetro entre 1995 y 2016. Conclusiones: Se observa que la baja capacidad institucional, junto con el comportamiento ciudadano negativo hacia el régimen, mantienen una situación relativamente estable de cultura política autoritaria e instituciones débiles que se puede caracterizar como democrática, pero con baja calidad y sin perspectiva de cambio.

  • An Opportunity for Paraguay: the Challenges for Fernando Lugo
    NUEVA SOCIEDAD NRO. 216 JULIO-AGOSTO 2008 An Opportunity for Paraguay: The Challenges for Fernando Lugo ANDREW NICKSON Fernando Lugo’s triumph in the Paraguayan presidential elections is historic, not only because it is the first time in the world that an ex-bishop has won a presidential election, but also because it marks the end of the Colorado Party’s hegemony, after more than sixty years in power. After his victory, Lugo ratified his decision to renegotiate with Brazil the unjust contract of the Itaipú hydro-electrical plant and his willingness to increase taxes on the prosperous soy bean producers and improve the unequal distribution of the land. However, it will not be easy. Paraguay inherits serious development problems, while there is widespread lack of confidence in democracy and a corrupt and outdated political class. Furthermore, Lugo can count on little support in parliament and the predictable resistance of the Colorado Party which still controls a powerful system of client relationships. Andrew Nickson: MA in Economics, University of Cambridge. Reader in Public Ma­ nagement and Latin American Development in the International Development De­ partment at the University of Birmingham. He was Director of the European Union State Reform Project, Paraguay, and Director of the European Union Public Adminis­ tration Reform Programme for Latin America. Key Words: Elections, Politics, Soy Beans, Energy, Fernando Lugo, Paraguay. The victory of Fernando Lugo, a former Catholic bishop, in the presidential election on 20 April 2008 marks a turning point in the tortured political history of land-locked Paraguay, one of the poorest and most unequal countries in Latin America.

Since 1993, only two presidents have completed their mandates, Juan Carlos Wasmosy (1993-1998) and Nicanor Duarte Frutos (2003-2008). With the exception of the latter, all elected presidents have faced either successful or attempted coups, mostly organized by the military. In the case of Lugo, South American governments reacted by suspending Paraguay from two regional organizations (Unasur and Mercosur). This article
