  • The Resignification of the Chilean Dictatorship's International Discourse Decolonisation, Religious Tolerance and Women'
    Women's Studies International Forum 82 (2020) 102389 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Women's Studies International Forum journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/wsif The resignification of the Chilean dictatorship's international discourse: Decolonisation, religious tolerance and women's rights T ⁎ María José Henríquez, Tatiana Rein-Venegas Institute of International Studies, University of Chile, Chile ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The Chilean dictatorship reacted to the international condemnation with a resignification of its international Human Rights discourse in areas of Human Rights that it considered innocuous, such as decolonisation, apartheid, religious Dictatorship tolerance and -as we suggest- women's rights. The article seeks to determine the key representations elaborated Chile by the dictatorship, through a discourse analysis, and a post-structuralist approach in International Relations. Its Women's rights findings show that in the area of women's rights there existed a clear contradiction between the internal and Discourse international narrative on the part of the dictatorship, with a support for feminist ideas in the international International relations sphere and a hostile opposition against them in the domestic one. For the evaluation of the consequences of this practice, the analysis uses the boomerang model, looking at the impact of the contradiction on the strength not only of the human's rights movement, but also the women's rights one. In turn, it evaluates the effect that the latter had on the dictatorship

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00.
