  • Los Frentes Del Anticomunismo. Las Derechas En
    Los frentes del anticomunismo Las derechas en el Uruguay de los tempranos sesenta Magdalena Broquetas El fin de un modelo y las primeras repercusiones de la crisis Hacia mediados de los años cincuenta del siglo XX comenzó a revertirse la relativa prosperidad económica que Uruguay venía atravesando desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A partir de 1955 se hicieron evidentes las fracturas del modelo proteccionista y dirigista, ensayado por los gobiernos que se sucedieron desde mediados de la década de 1940. Los efectos de la crisis económica y del estancamiento productivo repercutieron en una sociedad que, en la última década, había alcanzado una mejora en las condiciones de vida y en el poder adquisitivo de parte de los sectores asalariados y las capas medias y había asistido a la consolidación de un nueva clase trabajadora con gran capacidad de movilización y poder de presión. El descontento social generalizado tuvo su expresión electoral en las elecciones nacionales de noviembre de 1958, en las que el sector herrerista del Partido Nacional, aliado a la Liga Federal de Acción Ruralista, obtuvo, por primera vez en el siglo XX, la mayoría de los sufragios. Con estos resultados se inauguraba el período de los “colegiados blancos” (1959-1966) en el que se produjeron cambios significativos en la conducción económica y en la concepción de las funciones del Estado. La apuesta a la liberalización de la economía inauguró una década que, en su primera mitad, se caracterizó por la profundización de la crisis económica, una intensa movilización social y la reconfiguración de alianzas en el mapa político partidario.

  • Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗
    Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗ Jennifer Alix-Garcia Laura Schechter Felipe Valencia Caicedo Oregon State University UW Madison University of British Columbia S. Jessica Zhu Precision Agriculture for Development April 5, 2021 Abstract Skewed sex ratios often result from episodes of conflict, disease, and migration. Their persistent impacts over a century later, and especially in less-developed regions, remain less understood. The War of the Triple Alliance (1864{1870) in South America killed up to 70% of the Paraguayan male population. According to Paraguayan national lore, the skewed sex ratios resulting from the conflict are the cause of present-day low marriage rates and high rates of out-of-wedlock births. We collate historical and modern data to test this conventional wisdom in the short, medium, and long run. We examine both cross-border and within-country variation in child-rearing, education, labor force participation, and gender norms in Paraguay over a 150 year period. We find that more skewed post-war sex ratios are associated with higher out-of-wedlock births, more female-headed households, better female educational outcomes, higher female labor force participation, and more gender-equal gender norms. The impacts of the war persist into the present, and are seemingly unaffected by variation in economic openness or ties to indigenous culture.

    Tax Insight Uruguay - Brazil Double Tax Treaty June 2019 In Brasilia, on June 7th the Authorities of the Brazilian and Uruguayan Government signed a tax treaty to avoid double taxation and prevent fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and on capital (DTT) which substantially follows the OECD Model Tax Convention. This is a second step after the Agreement for the Exchange of Information (AEoI) that these countries signed back in 2012, which is still waiting ratification of the Brazilian Congress.

  • LAS ANTIGUAS BANDERAS PROVINCIALES DE LA ARGENTINA (1815-1888) David Prando
    Comunicaciones del Congreso Internacional de Vexilología XXI Vexilobaires 2005 LAS ANTIGUAS BANDERAS PROVINCIALES DE LA ARGENTINA (1815-1888) David Prando 1. La Liga Federal (1815-1820) El conflicto entre el centralismo de Buenos Aires y el autonomismo provincial - durante la guerra de la Independencia -, produjo la aparición de la Liga Federal, dirigida por el caudillo José Gervasio de Artigas. Su Liga estaba integrada por la Banda Oriental (provincia natal de Artigas), Santa Fé, Entre Ríos, Corrientes, Misiones y Córdoba. Santiago del Estero se plegó también al artiguismo, pero por brevísimo tiempo. Para distinguirse de Buenos Aires, Artigas ordenó a sus seguidores que izaran tricolores con el celeste y blanco porteños y el rojo federal. El resultado: una profusión de las tricolores más variadas. Y, debido a la interpretación de cada una de esas provincias, tuvo lugar el nacimiento de las banderas provinciales. Como en los cantones de la Confederación Suiza. Posiblemente, las enseñas cantonales inspiraron a los federales argentinos. En cambio, en los EE.UU. ningúno de los estados tenía pabellón propio, excepto las milicias locales. La Banda Oriental tuvo tres banderas: blanca, azul, colorada (1815-1816); azul, blanca, roja (1816-1820); y la última, como la segunda, pero con la leyenda “Libertad o Muerte”. Las primeras dos se usaron en la guerra civil contra Buenos Aires, y en la contra Portugal. Y la tercera fué la de los “33 Orientales” cuando la guerra argentino-brasileña (1825-1828). Santa Fé adoptó la tricolor de la Liga (azul-blanca-azul con una franja diagonal descendente colorada). Después, esa faja roja fué rosada (quizá para demostrar que Santa Fé había dejado al caudillo oriental.

  • Los Tupamaros, Continuadores Históricos Del Ideario Artiguista
    LOS TUPAMAROS CONTINUADORES HISTORICOS DEL IDEARIO ARTIGUISTA Melba Píriz y Cristina Dubra Considerado el territorio de la Banda Oriental como "tierra sin ningún provecho" por los conquistadores españoles, su conquista será tardía y este hecho signará la historia de esta fértil pradera, habitada desde ya mucho tiempo (estudios recientes nos llevan a considerar en miles de años la presencia de los primeros pobladores en la región) por comunidades indígenas en algunos casos cultivadores y, o cazadores, pescadores y recolectores .La situación de frontera interimperial (conflicto de límites entre los dominios de España y Portugal) determinará el interés por estos territorios pese a la sociedad indígena indómita que la habitaba. En el siglo XVII, la introducción del ganado bovino pautará de aquí en más la economía y la sociedad de esta Banda. La primera forma de explotación de la riqueza pecuaria fue la vaquería, expedición para matar ganado, extraer el cuero y el sebo. La vaquería depredó el ganado "cimarrón", por eso se irá sustituyendo este sistema por "la estancia", establecimiento permanente con ocupación de tierra. El poblamiento urbano fue también una consecuencia del carácter fronterizo de nuestro territorio. En 1680 los portugueses fundan la Colonia del Sacramento y a partir de 1724 los españoles fundan Montevideo. Durante el coloniaje estará presente un gran conflicto entre los grandes latifundistas por un lado y los pequeños y medianos hacendados por otro A comienzos del siglo XIX, se producen las invasiones inglesas al Río de la Plata. La ocupación que realizaron si bien breve, no dejará de tener importancia. Se agudizaron, por ejemplo, las contradicciones ya existentes en la sociedad colonial y comenzó a hacerse inminente la lucha por el poder entre una minoría española residente encabezada por los grandes comerciantes monopolistas y los dirigentes del grupo criollo, hijos de españoles nacidos en América.

We are on its threshold. We belong, then, to a generation which experiences Uruguay itself as a problem, which does not accept what has already been done and which, alienated from the usual saving rituals, has been compelled to radically ask itself: What the hell is all this? Alberto Methol Ferré [1958] ‘There’s nothing like Uruguay’ was one politician and journalist’s favourite catchphrase. It started out as the pride and joy of a vision of the nation and ended up as the advertising jingle for a brand of cooking oil. Sic transit gloria mundi. Carlos Martínez Moreno [1971] In this exercise of critical analysis with no available space to create a distance between living and thinking, between the duties of civic involvement and the will towards lucidity and objectivity, the dangers of confusing reality and desire, forecast and hope, are enormous.

    ABSTRACT SUBVERTING DEMOCRACY, PRODUCING TERROR: THE UNITED STATES AND THE URUGUAYAN COLD WAR, 1963-1976 In the early 1960s, Uruguay was a beacon of democracy in the Americas. Ten years later, repression and torture were everyday occurrences and by 1973, a military dictatorship had taken power. The unexpected descent into dictatorship is the subject of this thesis. By analyzing US government documents, many of which have been recently declassified, I examine the role of the US government in funding, training, and supporting the Uruguayan repressive apparatus during these trying years.

    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).

  • Uruguay 2020 Human Rights Report
    URUGUAY 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Oriental Republic of Uruguay is a constitutional republic with a democratically elected president and a bicameral legislature. In November 2019 Luis Lacalle Pou won a five-year presidential term in a free and fair election. No political party won a majority in parliament, but the ruling party formed a coalition to pass legislation. Legislative elections were also held in October 2019. Under the Ministry of Interior, the National Police maintains internal security, and the National Directorate for Migration is responsible for migration and border enforcement. The armed forces, under the Ministry of National Defense, are responsible for external security and have some domestic responsibilities, including perimeter security for six prisons and border security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over security forces. Members of the security forces committed some abuses and were brought to justice. Significant human rights abuses included harsh and potentially life-threatening conditions in some prisons. The government took steps to investigate and prosecute officials who committed human rights abuses, and there were no reports of impunity. The judiciary continued to investigate human rights violations committed during the 1973-85 military dictatorship, which the law classifies as crimes against humanity. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. The Office of the Prosecutor investigates whether security force killings were justifiable and pursues prosecutions. On July 10, President Lacalle Pou signed into law an omnibus reform bill that introduces an expansion of the right to self-defense.

TREATY1 BETWEEN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC AND THE EASTERN REPUBLIC OF URUGUAY CONCERNING THE BOUNDARY CONSTITUTED BY THE RIVER URUGUAY. SIGNED AT MONTEVIDEO, ON 7 APRIL 1961 The Government of the Argentine Republic and the Government of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, motivated by the common desire to tighten the close and immutable bonds of affection and friendship which have always existed between their respective peoples, have decided to settle once and for all the question of the boundaries situated in the section of the River Uruguay which constitutes the frontier between the two countries. The two Governments, considering that, while they have identical rights over the said section of the river, there are other factors which should be taken into account when setting it as a boundary, for example, its general configuration, the characteristics of its navigable channels, the presence of islands in its bed, historical claims to those islands and instruments of present jurisdiction over them, and also the practical requirements of navi gation, have decided to adopt as the boundary a composite line which shall take into account the aforesaid considerations and at the same time satisfy as fully as possible the aspirations and interests of the two Contracting States.
