  • Federalism, Bicameralism, and Institutional Change: General Trends and One Case-Study*
    brazilianpoliticalsciencereview ARTICLE Federalism, Bicameralism, and Institutional Change: General Trends and One Case-study* Marta Arretche University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil The article distinguishes federal states from bicameralism and mechanisms of territorial representation in order to examine the association of each with institutional change in 32 countries by using constitutional amendments as a proxy. It reveals that bicameralism tends to be a better predictor of constitutional stability than federalism. All of the bicameral cases that are associated with high rates of constitutional amendment are also federal states, including Brazil, India, Austria, and Malaysia. In order to explore the mechanisms explaining this unexpected outcome, the article also examines the voting behavior of Brazilian senators constitutional amendments proposals (CAPs). It shows that the Brazilian Senate is a partisan Chamber. The article concludes that regional influence over institutional change can be substantially reduced, even under symmetrical bicameralism in which the Senate acts as a second veto arena, when party discipline prevails over the cohesion of regional representation. Keywords: Federalism; Bicameralism; Senate; Institutional change; Brazil. well-established proposition in the institutional literature argues that federal Astates tend to take a slow reform path. Among other typical federal institutions, the second legislative body (the Senate) common to federal systems (Lijphart 1999; Stepan * The Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa no Estado

  • Alejandra Bellatin VICE-DIRECTORS
    3 Staff DIRECTOR: Alejandra Bellatin VICE-DIRECTORS: Naz Arin Alkumru CRISIS ANALYSTS: Maryam Rahimi Pranav Dayanand MODERATOR: Arthur Nelson 4 A Letter From Your Director... Dear delegates, I am delighted to welcome to UTMUN 2016! My name is Alejandra Bellatin and I will be your director for the Council of Ministers of Colombia 1985. Our team also consists of the vice-director Naz Arin Alkumru, the moderator Arthur Nelson and the crisis analysts Maryam Rahimi and Pranav Dayanand; we are all very excited to meet you for a weekend of debate this February. I am a second year student majoring in Economics and International Relations, and potentially minoring in Latin American Studies. My main interests are economic development, international humanitarianism, and conflict resolution. Apart from UTMUN, I am also part of the G20 Research Group and the Canadian Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. In my spare time, I like to paint and my favorite book is One hundred years of solitude. I am originally from Peru and moved to Canada for university. Growing up, I always heard about the scars that cocaine trafficking and paramilitary groups similar to FARC had left in Peruvian society. I began doing MUN in the 8th grade and continued debating for the rest of my high school years. I have participated and hosted a wide array of committees, but the mixture of formality and dynamism in Specialized Agencies makes it by far my favorite. Last year, I also took part in UTMUN as a Vice-Director for another committee. MUN is a great way to learn about foreign affairs and improve public speaking skills.

  • Channeling Water Conflicts Through the Legislative Branch in Colombia
    water Article Channeling Water Conflicts through the Legislative Branch in Colombia Angela M. Páez 1,* and Catalina Vallejo Piedrahíta 2,3 1 Department of Public Administration, Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN 37203, USA 2 Faculty of Law, Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Medellin 050015, Colombia; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper answers the question: has the Colombian Congress been effective at addressing relevant water conflicts and making them visible? While courts and social movements have been key for the advancement of social rights in Latin America, the role of legislators remains unclear. We conduct content analysis of all water-related bills, proposed bills, and constitutional amendments filed in Colombia from 1991 to 2020; we also analyzed Congress hearings of political control related to water, and the statutes of political parties who hold majority of seats in Congress; we also conducted interviews with key actors on water governance in Colombia. We find that only three bills have passed in the 30-year time frame and that relevant water conflicts have not been addressed by Colombian legislators. We find that water conflicts are not reaching the political agenda of Congress, yet through political control hearings, it has given some late visibility to critical territorial conflicts in which water is a key element. We analyze our data in light of literature on legislative politics and legal mobilization in Latin America. This study adds to global research on the role of legislators in advancing the human right to water, particularly in Latin America.
