Uruguay's political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent. Uruguay rates high for most development indicators and is known for its secularism, liberal social laws, and well-developed social security, health, and educational systems. It is one of the few countries in Latin America and the Uruguay where the entire population Uruguay access to clean water. Uruguay's provision of free primary through university education has contributed to the country's high levels of literacy and educational attainment. However, the emigration of human capital has diminished the state's return on its investment in education. The emigration of Uruguay adults and a low birth rate are causing Uruguay's population to age rapidly. In the Uruguay, Uruguayans for the first time emigrated en masse - primarily to Argentina and Brazil - because of economic decline and the onset of Uruguay than a decade of military dictatorship. Uruguay had a tiny population upon its independence in and welcomed thousands of predominantly Italian and Spanish immigrants, but the Uruguay has not experienced large influxes of new arrivals since the aftermath of World War II. More recent immigrants include Peruvians and Arabs. Uruguay has a free market economy characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector, a well-educated workforce, and high levels of social spending.

  • 1 a Guerra Da Cisplatina E O Início Da Formação Do Estado Imperial Brasileiro
    1 A GUERRA DA CISPLATINA E O INÍCIO DA FORMAÇÃO DO ESTADO IMPERIAL BRASILEIRO Luan Mendes de Medeiros Siqueira (PPHR/ UFRRJ) Marcello Otávio Neri de Campos Basile Palavras- chave: Estado Nacional, Nação e Guerra da Cisplatina. Este trabalho é parte da minha pesquisa de mestrado que por sua vez tem como tema: As relações internacionais entre o Império do Brasil e as Províncias Unidas do Rio da Prata durante a Guerra da Cisplatina (1825- 1828). Procuramos compreender nesse presente estudo a consolidação do poder por parte deles sobre a região do Prata, já que era fundamental estruturar uma identidade na formação de tais Estados. A Guerra da Cisplatina, entretanto, pode ser considerada como o primeiro conflito em nível regional a ser resolvido pelo Brasil e Argentina em suas agendas de política externa e como um entrave também entre as suas áreas de litígio. Além disso, se quisermos nos aprofundar sobre a história da diplomacia entre tais países, elas terão suas origens majoritariamante nesse conflito. Daí, a necessidade de se pesquisar cada vez mais as relações internacionais de ambos os países nesse confronto. Neste trabalho, temos como referencial teórico o conceito de Relações Internacionais dos cientistas políticos Jean Baptiste Duroselle e Pierre Renouvin. Segundo eles, esse termo engloba uma série de elementos, dentre eles: territorialidade, condições demográficas, relevo, soberania e fronteiras políticas.1 A Guerra da Cisplatina pode-se inserir nesse campo teórico uma vez que o fator dos limites de fronteiras esteve intrinsecamente ligado à eclosão do conflito. A disputa pelo domínio da província Cisplatina, além de sua importância econômica, foi marcada também por um outro tópico componente do conceito de relações internacionais desses autores: Soberania.

  • Artigas, O Federalismo E As Instruções Do Ano Xiii
    1 ARTIGAS, O FEDERALISMO E AS INSTRUÇÕES DO ANO XIII MARIA MEDIANEIRA PADOIN* As disputas entre as tendências centralistas-unitárias e federalistas, manifestadas nas disputas políticas entre portenhos e o interior, ou ainda entre províncias-regiões, gerou prolongadas guerras civis que estendeu-se por todo o território do Vice-Reino. Tanto Assunção do Paraguai quanto a Banda Oriental serão exemplos deste enfrentamento, como palco de defesa de propostas políticas federalistas. Porém, devemos ressaltar que tais tendências apresentavam divisões internas, conforme a maneira de interpretar ideologicamente seus objetivos, ou a forma pelo qual alcançá-los, ou seja haviam disputas de poder internamente em cada grupo, como nos chama a atenção José Carlos Chiaramonte (1997:216) : ...entre los partidarios del Estado centralizado y los de la unión confederal , pues exsiten evidencias de que en uno y en outro bando había posiciones distintas respecto de la naturaleza de la sociedad y del poder, derivadas del choque de concepciones historicamente divergentes, que aunque remetían a la común tradicón jusnaturalista que hemos comentado, sustentaban diferentes interpretaciones de algunos puntos fundamentales del Derecho Natural.

DAY** Risk Perception in International River Basin Management: The Plata Basin Example*** ABSTRACT Perceptionof the risk of multilateralcooperation has affected joint internationalaction for the integrateddevelopment of the PlataRiver Basin. The originsof sovereignty concerns amongArgentina,Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay are explored in terms of their his- torical roots. The role of risk in determining the character of the PlataBasin Treaty, and the ways in which risk was managedin order to reach cooperative agreements, are analyzed. The treaty incor- porates a number of risk management devices that were necessary to achieve internationalcooperation. The institutional system im- plemented under the treaty producedfew concrete results for almost two decades. Within the currentfavorable political environment in the basin, however, the structure already in place reopens the pos- sibility of further rapid integrative steps. INTRODUCTION Joint water development actions among the five states sharing the Plata Basin-Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay-have been dominated by two factors: the enormous potential benefits of cooperation, and long-standing international rivalries.

  • Vi Brazil As a Latin American Political Unit
    VI BRAZIL AS A LATIN AMERICAN POLITICAL UNIT I. PHASES OF BRAZILIAN HISTORY is almost a truism to say that interest in the history of a I' country is in proportion to the international importance of it as a nation. The dramatic circumstances that might have shaped that history are of no avail to make it worth knowing; the actual or past standing of the country and its people is thus the only practical motive. According to such an interpretation of historical interest, I may say that the international importance of Brazil seems to be growing fast. Since the Great War, many books on South America have been published in the United States, and abundant references to Brazil may be found in all of them. Should I have to mention any of the recent books, I would certainly not forget Herman James's Brazil after a Century,' Jones's South Amer- ica,' for the anthropogeographic point of view, Mary Wil- liams's People and Politics oj Latin Arneri~a,~the books of Roy Nash, J. F. Normano, J. F. Rippy, Max Winkler, and others. Considering Brazil as a South American political entity, it is especially the historical point of view that I purpose to interpret. Therefore it may be convenient to have a pre- liminary general view of the story of independent Brazil, 'See reference, Lecture V, p. 296. IC. F. Jones, South America (London: George Allen & Unwin, 1930). Wary W.

  • The United States and the Uruguayan Cold War, 1963-1976
    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.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Dynamic Secularisms: Christianity and the Struggle for Human Rights in the Uruguayan Laïcité by Lucía Cash MA Thesis presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Linell Cady, Chair Christopher Duncan Daniel Schugurensky Carolyn Warner ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2015 ABSTRACT From 1973 to 1984 the people of Uruguay lived under a repressive military dictatorship. During that time, the Uruguayan government violated the Human Rights of its opponents and critics through prolonged imprisonment in inhumane conditions without trial, physical and psychological torture, disappearance, and a negation of freedom of speech, thought and congregation. In this project, I argue that these violations of Human Rights committed by the military dictatorship added urgency to the rethinking by religious individuals of the Uruguayan model of secularism, the laïcité, and the role that their theology required them to play in the “secular” world. Influenced by the Liberation Theology movement, Catholic and Protestant leaders simultaneously made use of and challenged the secularization model in order to carve a space for themselves in the struggle for the protection of Human Rights. Furthermore, I will argue that due to the Uruguayan system of partitocracy, which privileges political parties as the main voices in public matters, Uruguay still carries this history of Human Rights violations on its back. Had alternative views been heard in the public sphere, this thorny history might have been dealt with in a fairer manner.

  • Discursive Processes of Intergenerational Transmission of Recent History Also by Mariana Achugar
    Discursive Processes of Intergenerational Transmission of Recent History Also by Mariana Achugar WHAT WE REMEMBER: The Construction of Memory in Military Discourse (2008) ‘Mariana Achugar has written a powerful and solid book in which she gives voice to new generations of Uruguayan youth from Montevideo and rural Tacuarembó, who enter the public debate about the contested traumatic past of recent dictatorship. As Mariana emphasizes in her work, “the goal of intergenerational transmission of the recent past is not only to remember, but to understand”, and this is precisely what youth manifested to be interested in, because understanding their past enables them to construct their national and civic identities. Mariana expands the theoretical and methodological approaches in discourse analysis and focuses on the circulation and reception of texts. She exam- ines intertextuality and resemiotization in recontextualized practices, for analyzing what youth know about the dictatorship and how they learn about it. In doing so, Mariana reveals the complexity of this cir- culation of meanings about the past through popular culture, family conversations and history classroom interactions in school contexts. We learn that the youth, as active members of society, construct the past of the dictatorship through both; schematic narratives that are avail- able in the public sphere, and from their own elaborations grounded on the materials available in the community. This is a highly relevant and much needed book for scholars interested in memory and critical discourse studies.’ – Teresa Oteíza, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile ‘Memory scholars agree that the inter-generational transmission of col- lective memories is key to shaping the future, and others have noted that Uruguay is in the vanguard of using the school to transmit historical memories of the recent past to children who did not live it themselves, but no one has studied this process so closely or so well as Mariana Achugar .
