Ruiz Rodríguez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Iván Llamazares, Universidad de Salamanca Salamanca Enero 2015 AGRADECIMIENTOS Esta tesis pone el punto y aparte a un camino que comenzó en 2005 como alumna del Programa Procesos Políticos Contemporáneos de la Universidad de Salamanca (USAL). En estos diez años ha sido constante el apoyo institucional y personal de los miembros del Área de Ciencia Política de la USAL, al igual que continuo ha sido el aprecio que he recibido durante mi estancia en la República Dominicana gracias al trabajo y al prestigio de todos ellos. El trabajo de campo de esta tesis doctoral fue posible gracias al apoyo financiero del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de España (MAEC) y su Programa de Cooperación Científica, y de la Fundación Carolina como becaria del Programa de Formación Permanente. Ninguna de estas dos modalidades de ayuda a la investigación ha sobrevivido a los recortes. Con ello, tristemente se resienten la educación superior y la universidad pública, y se agranda aún más la brecha en la movilidad, especialización e inserción de españoles en organismos internacionales. Gracias también a la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO-RD), al Observatorio de Migrantes del Caribe (OBMICA), a la biblioteca Profesor Juan Bosch (FUNGLODE) y especialmente al Centro de Gobernabilidad y Gerencia Social (CEGES-INTEC), por abrirme tan generosamente sus puertas en Santo Domingo durante las diferentes etapas de mi investigación.

    DIASPORA OUTREACH BY LATIN AMERICAN PARTIES A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Michael Ahn Paarlberg, M.P.P. Washington, DC April 24, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Michael Ahn Paarlberg All Rights Reserved ii DIASPORA OUTREACH BY LATIN AMERICAN PARTIES Michael Ahn Paarlberg, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Matthew Carnes, Ph.D. ABSTRACT How do parties in migrant-sending countries campaign abroad? This study explores transnational campaigning by political parties among diaspora communities, using a mixed methods approach, including a region-wide quantitative comparison using polling and a series of hierarchical models, documentation of party travel records, and interviews with 45 politicians, party officials, and campaign strategists in Mexico, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic. This study seeks to examine why and how parties in migrant-sending countries engage migrants as a matter of electoral strategy. What advantage do migrants lend parties in elections—particularly if, as evidence shows, their impact through direct voting is minimal—and how do parties seek to exploit and maximize this advantage? This study finds that two chief factors explain party outreach to diaspora communities: the partisan skew of the diaspora, and the infrastructure of the party in the diaspora. It also finds that parties believe diaspora campaigning pays off in votes in the home country due to the influence migrants are perceived to have over their relatives through remittances; however, models show this perceived influence to be exaggerated.

  • Elecciones Primarias Y Ley De Partidos Políticos En La República Dominicana
    Elecciones Primarias y Ley de Partidos Políticos en la República Dominicana JOSÉ ÁNGEL AQUINO R. UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE SANTO DOMINGO ÁREA TEMÁTICA: TEORÍA POLÍTICA [email protected] 7/22/2015 Trabajo preparado para su presentación en el VIII Congreso Latinoamericano de Ciencia Política, organizado por la Asociación Latinoamericana de Ciencia Política (ALACIP). Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, 22 al 24 de julio del 2015 2 ELECCIONES PRIMARIAS Y LEY DE PARTIDOS POLÍTICOS EN LA REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA Resumen: A partir de la redemocratización iniciada con las elecciones nacionales de 1978, se creó en la República Dominicana un escenario propicio para una mayor democracia interna en los partidos políticos, que comenzaron a celebrar elecciones primarias como mecanismo de escogencia de las candidaturas para los cargos de elección popular. Esos eventos, que inicialmente constituyeron formidables escuelas de entrenamiento democrático, caracterizados por una significativa participación ciudadana, fueron degenerando en ejercicios distorsionados de la voluntad como consecuencia del predominio de prácticas clientelares. La Constitución dominicana del 2010 sentó las bases para nuevo marco legislativo que fortaleciera la democracia interna y la transparencia en los partidos políticos. En ese contexto, la puesta en vigor de una ley de partidos políticos para regular la competencia intrapartidaria, que se venía discutiendo desde hacía más de una década, se presentaba en el año preelectoral 2015, como una medida necesaria para fortalecer el carácter democrático de las elecciones primarias y promover la reforma del sistema político dominicano. Sin embargo, las dinámicas que han caracterizado la lucha interna de los partidos políticos en este proceso, así como el predominio de una cultura autoritaria, le restaron legitimidad y valor a la nueva normativa partidaria en curso.

    CORRESPONDENT'S ADVICE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 03 JUN 2021 Coronavirus, COVID-19 The following information was received from our correspondent on 3 June: QUOTE To keep you and members informed on the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the Dominican Republic, kindly find attached the Decree 349-21, issued by the President of the Dominican Republic, in order to modify the curfew and the other social distancing measures established within the framework of the state of emergency declared to combat COVID-19. A free translation of the decree is also attached. Authorities in the Dominican Republic have issued orders lengthening curfew hours in the National District, as well as in 24 of the nation's 31 provinces, June 2-9, due to elevated COVID-19 activity in the affected jurisdictions, such as the provinces of Santo Domingo, National District, La Romana, Barahona, Monte Cristi, Pedernales and Azua. New curfew hours will run 6:00 PM to 05:00 A.M. on Monday through Friday, and 3:00 PM to 05:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Individuals needing to return to their accommodations or residences will be accorded a three-hour grace period in order to do so. Provinces not affected by the new curfew hours are Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia, La Vega, Samana, Santiago, and Puerto Plata. In these seven jurisdictions, the previously imposed curfew hours of 22:00-05:00 on weekdays and 21:00-05:00 on weekends will remain in effect, with the grace period for individuals to return to their residences extending until 00:01 nightly. The aforementioned Decree establishes a special vaccination day from Thursday, June 3, 2021, until Sunday, June 6, 2021, in the provinces of Santo Domingo and San Cristóbal, as ones of the provinces more affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Dominican Republic.

  • Fin De Época (¿Y Hegemonía?) En La República Dominicana
    ARI 90/2020 2 de julio de 2020 Elecciones presidenciales dominicanas: fin de época (¿y hegemonía?) en la República Dominicana Carlos Malamud | Investigador principal, Real instituto Elcano | @CarlosMalamud Rogelio Núñez Investigador senior asociado del Real Instituto Elcano y profesor colaborador del IELAT, Universidad de Alcalá de Henares | @RNCASTELLANO Tema La República Dominicana vota el domingo 5 de julio para elegir presidente para el período 2020-2024. Por primera vez en más de 15 años peligra la hegemonía política del actual partido en el poder: el Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD). Son los primeros comicios latinoamericanos celebrados en plena pandemia. Resumen Las divisiones y fracturas internas en el Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) se perfilan como la principal causa que puede acabar con su largo dominio político en República Dominicana (2004-2020). La campaña para los comicios del 5 de julio ha estado marcada por la pelea entre caudillos (Danilo Medina y Leonel Fernández), que ha partido en dos al PLD. La hegemonía peledista está en cuestión ante el ascenso de fuerzas emergentes –comenzando por el Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) de Luis Abinader– y por las consecuencias económicas y sociales de la pandemia que ha alterado el cronograma electoral (las elecciones estaban previstas para mayo pasado). Análisis Las elecciones dominicanas han estado condicionadas por la pandemia del COVID-19 y por la división en el partido oficialista, que ha pagado un alto coste político traducido en una disminución en intención de voto. Esto último ha extendido la sensación de que el país se acerca a un final de época.
