  • Of Southern Europe? Anti-Neoliberal Populisms In
    Instituto de Ciencia Política A ‘LATINAMERICANIZATION’ OF SOUTHERN EUROPE? ANTI-NEOLIBERAL POPULISMS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE por Enrico Padoan Tesis presentada al Instituto de Ciencia Política de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile para optar al grado académico de Doctor Profesores Guías: Pierre Ostiguy, Manuela Caiani Comisión Informante: Carla Alberti; Juan Pablo Luna; Julia Lynch; Kenneth Roberts Junio 2018 Santiago de Chile, Chile ©2018, Enrico Padoan Ninguna parte de esta tesis puede reproducirse o transmitirse bajo ninguna forma o por ningún medio o procedimiento, sin permiso por escrito del autor. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS [Please, let me use, in this opening section, different languages (my poor English, my slightly better Spanish, and my hopefully decent Italian). I just want to speak to different people through the language (the ‘code’) that we are used to employ to talk to each other. I am aware that perhaps this is not a proper decision, and I apologize for that. I just want to thank all of you as clearly as possible]. Scorrendo i ringraziamenti di diverse tesi di dottorato, magari poi divenute libri, ho letto svariate volte la frase ‘this was not a solitary enterprise’. Questa tesi, al contrario, è davvero frutto di una solitary enterprise. Ovviamente, non nel senso che quanto scritto in queste pagine sia esclusivamente farina del mio sacco, quando invece (e lo specificherò fra non molto) è frutto di un lunghissimo processo di confronto e di dibattito con moltissimi docenti, colleghi ed amici, i quali mi hanno aiutato a migliorarne il contenuto (ovviamente, valga il caveat “gli errori e le mancanze sono miei”).

    Manifesto Project Dataset: South America List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2020b from December 23, 2020 Manifesto Project Dataset: South America - List of Political Parties Version 2020b 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The Manifesto Data Collection: South America covers parliamentary and presidential elections in South America. The following list documents all the parties, candidates and elections contained in the dataset. The list includes the name of the party or (candidate) alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation, the name of the presidential candidate (if this applies) as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. If parliamentary and presidential elections occur at roughly the same time (not necessarily on the same date but within a time frame of one or two months) parties and candidates usually run on the same manifesto. In these cases we report the party/alliance that backed a candidate and the candidate’s name. The same information is provided for presidential elections. If a parliamentary election occurred independently from a presidential election we only report parties and alliances but no candidates. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and the party id if it exists) of this split or merger parties.

  • Summary of Important Pronouncements, Initiatives and Proposals to Reform the Law, 1999-2013
    Summary of important pronouncements, initiatives and proposals to reform the law, 1999-2013 1999 - “Legalisation.” Although speaking in a personal and not official capacity, then-President Jorge Batlle created an international stir in 1999 when he said he favoured legalization of “soft” drugs. Batlle would not only ratify this position in 2006, but would go a step further, saying that all drugs should be legalized. At the same time, the Socialist Party (Partido Socialista) and the Artiguista Current (Vertiente Artiguista), members of the ruling Broad Front (Frente Amplio), were taking steps designed to wean problematic users away from hazardous substances such as cocaine-based paste and incline them to eventually opt for marijuana instead. 2010 - A recently-formed congressional Special Commission on Addiction began examining the possibilities of reforming the drugs law as a result of the arguments and proposals put forth by different organizations of marijuana users and growers, such as the Association for the Study of Cannabis of Uruguay (Asociación de Estudios del Cannabis del Uruguay – AECU), Prolegal and Plant your Plant (Planta tu planta). These organizations argued that the “current law permits consumption and possession, but does not facilitate channels for acquiring marijuana.” November 2010 - The issue of decriminalization was entered into the congressional docket at the end of 2010 with the presentation of a bill by Congressman Luis Lacalle Pou, of the White/National Party (Partido Blanco/Nacional), which called for legalization of cultivation by authorizing the cultivation and harvesting of cannabis for personal consumption. The goal of this bill is to separate users from illicit markets in an attempt to combat drug trafficking.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    At a glance May 2015 Uruguay: Political parties Uruguay has the longest tradition of democratic stability in Latin America. The two-party system prevailing since the early 19th Century has gradually evolved into a multiparty system, with the emergence in 1971 of a major third force, the Broad Front. This party broke the National and Colorado parties' domination in the 2004 elections and has been in power since 2005. Background Uruguay is the most enduring democracy in Latin America, with an institutionalised two-party system (National (PN) and Colorado (PC) parties) that dominated the political arena from the 19th Century (after independence from Spain) until recently. With the emergence of the Broad Front, and especially after the 1989 elections, it has evolved towards a multiparty system. Thus, since 1990 most presidents have had to negotiate agreements to build coalitions or legislative majorities. Economic stagnation and rising political authoritarianism at the end of the 1960s led to a military dictatorship from 1973 to 1985. From 1985, Presidents Sanguinetti (PC, 1985-1990, 1995-2000) and Lacalle Herrera (PN, 1990-1995) gradually restored political stability. In 2005 this two-party domination was ended by President Tabaré Vázquez and his Broad Front, which has been in power ever since (with President José Mújica from 2010 to 2015, and now with the re-election of Tabaré Vázquez, who was sworn in on 1 March 2015). Political and electoral system Uruguay is a presidential republic. The President is elected for a five-year term, with no possibility of immediate re-election for a second consecutive term.
