This thesis is dedicated to Carolina, my little sister and great treasure; to my family; and to my adored husband, Rapha, for their unconditional love and support. AKNOWLEDGMENTS This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – Brasil (CAPES) – Finance Code 001. I would like to thank my supervisors, prof. Shiguenoli Miyamoto and prof. Karina Mariano for their guidance through this thesis and for being professional inspirations. I thank professor Shiguenoli for accepting to supervise my work and for all the support provided during my Unicamp years. To Karina, I am immensely grateful for the work we did together over the past six years, the opportunities you provided me, and for accompanying me so closely on this path, offering your wisdom and friendship. I have not enough words. I thank the San Tiago Dantas Graduate Program, Unesp’s IPPRI, its faculty, staff, and student body, in the name of profs. Samuel Alves, Suzeley Khalil and Héctor Saint-Pierre, for providing a stimulating environment for the development of knowledge. Special thanks go to Graziela Oliveira, Giovana Vieira, Isabela Silvestre and Camila Magalhães, who do everything to make the student’s bureaucratic life easier with grace and sympathy. I am also very grateful to Unicamp and CAPES for the resources provided for the realization of this thesis. Besides the PhD Scholarship, I had a research stay abroad fully funded by the CAPES PDSE Program, and was also awarded a fieldwork grant to visit the African Union and do in loco investigations, and I am very thankful and conscient of how privileged I am because of it, in such times of economic constraints. This thesis would not have been the same without the opportunity of visiting the German Institute of Global and Area Studies – GIGA Hamburg, a center of excellency for regional research that had an essential role on shaping the thesis aspirations. I would like to greatly thank the Institute, on the figure of the academic director of the GIGA Doctoral Programme, Dr. Maren Wagner, and of Prof. Detlef Nolte, through whom I got to know the GIGA, and who accepted to serve as my supervisor for the research stay. Special thanks also are due to my colleagues at the doctoral program, without whom my German experience would also not have been the same. I feel very grateful for having on my committee such distinguished professors that have participated on my academic development during many of its stages. I thank prof. Britta Weiffen for participating on my qualification exam and for contributing so much for regionalism and international studies in Brazil through her actions at the Cátedra Martius. To prof. Nolte, I am very grateful for the help during my GIGA experience, to your kindness and availability. Britta and Detlef were among the first to conceptualize the phenomenon this thesis aimed to investigate, and I am thankful for the opportunity of discussing the findings and learning with them. To prof. Haroldo Ramanzini Júnior, thank you for the incentives to explore Comparative Regionalism on this research, for supporting my activities, for debating and contributing to my work from a very early stage. To prof. Regiane Bressan, my acknowledgments and thanks have their roots on my master’s degree and grew through my doctoral studies, as she acted as my supervisor for Teaching Assistantships, provided me with opportunities to participate on events and contributed to the research development as a member of this committee. Haroldo and Regiane are also members and coordinators of the research group I am happy to participate, Rede de Pesquisa em Política Externa e Regionalismo (REPRI), and I am extremely grateful for having their presence during my academic development and on this committee. Professors Roberto Goulart, Alexandre Fuccille, and Cairo Junqueira were the alternate members chosen to compose this committee, and also members of the research groups REPRI and Observatório de Regionalismo (ODR), and I am privileged for having their presence during my academic development. At REPRI, special thanks to Bruno Theodoro Luciano who is an honorary member of this committee and helped me so much on this journey. A great perk of the field of International Studies is its contemporaneity and connectivity. I feel very lucky that through this work, I was able to personally meet or exchange emails with many of the researchers that are a fundamental part of my case specific literature and received nothing but kindness and support. The composition of the judging committee is also a proof of it. In this sense, many thanks are due to prof. Ulf Engel, who helped me with the agenda setting for the African Union fieldwork, his advices and openness. I also thank dr. Frank Mattheis for the comments during this process and for the opportunity of participating with prof. Karina with a chapter on his and professor Engel’s book. I thank profs. Philippe de Lombaerde and Michel Levi, for the opportunity of participating at the UNU-CRIS/ UASB 6th Doctoral School on Comparative Regionalism, for the support received on a form of a scholarship for participation on this enriching event and for the thoughtful comments. To Prof. Camilo López, who was my supervisor during a master’s degree research stay at the Universidad de la Republica in 2015, but whose support accompanied my doctoral journey. I am deeply indebted to his sharp comments on my research and for his incentives during doctoral workshops. To all of these

  • Paraguay (From Wikipedia)
    Paraguay (from Wikipedia) Paraguay (/ˈpærəɡwaɪ/; Spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj]; Guarani: Paraguái, [paɾaˈɰwaj]), officially the Republic of Paraguay (Spanish: República del Paraguay; Guarani: Tetã Paraguái), is a landlocked country in central South America, bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the center of the country from north to south. Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as Corazón de Sudamérica ("Heart of South America").[9] Paraguay is one of the two landlocked countries (the other is Bolivia) outside Afro-Eurasia, and is the smallest[10] landlocked country in the Americas. The indigenous Guaraní had been living in eastern Paraguay for at least a millennium before the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. Western Paraguay, the Gran Chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the Guaycuru peoples were the most prominent. In the 17th century, Jesuit missions introduced Christianity and Spanish culture to the region. Paraguay was a peripheral colony of the Spanish Empire, with few urban centers and settlers. Following independence from Spain in 1811, Paraguay was ruled by a series of dictators who generally implemented isolationist and protectionist policies. Following the disastrous Paraguayan War (1864–1870), the country lost 60 to 70 percent of its population through war and disease, and about 140,000 square kilometers (54,000 sq mi), one quarter of its territory, to Argentina and Brazil. Through the 20th century, Paraguay continued to endure a succession of authoritarian governments, culminating in the regime of Alfredo Stroessner, who led South America's longest- lived military dictatorship from 1954 to 1989.

Palabras clave Neogolpismo; Golpe de Estado; Juicio político; Paraguay, Fernando Lugo, Política Sudamericana, Geopolítica. Abstract In this paper, we analyze the political crisis that expelled president Fernando Lugo of Paraguay in 2012. Using primary and secondary sources, will realize the details of the context, and from political science and international relations, analyze the legality of the impeachment process against the former president and his subsequent dismissal. Finally, we employ the conceptual use of new putsch to explain the events in the Paraguayan State.

Con esta expulsión se iniciaría un conflicto regional, provocando la suspensión de la República guaraní del Mercado Común del Cono Sur (Mercosur) y de la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (Unasur). La crisis política en torno a la legalidad o no del juicio político y la consiguiente expulsión de Lugo del Ejecutivo paraguayo, constituyó una amenaza real de desestabilizar política e institucionalmente a toda la región.

    LA POLÍTICA EXTERNA PARAGUAYA: UN ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO ENTRE LOS GOBIERNOS DE FERNANDO LUGO (2008-2012) Y HORACIO CARTES (2013- 2014) Claudia Paola Silva Vera1 Balmore Alirio Cruz Aguilar2 RESUMEN: En el presente trabajo se hace un estudio comparativo de dos directrices de política externa paraguaya en gobiernos subsecuentes y distintos, a saber: el de Fernando Lugo (2008-2012) y Horacio Cartes (2013-2014). Dichas directrices han tenido presencia en la agenda paraguaya por un largo periodo y el actual gobierno no es la excepción. La primera de ellas hace referencia a la situación actual del Paraguay en el Mercosur tomando en cuenta la crisis política que se registró en dicho país en el año 2012 y que puso fin al GT-1: PROCESSO DECI mandato de Lugo, y la segunda aborda las relaciones que existen entre Paraguay y Taiwán. Para la realización del trabajo se recurrió a la revisión bibliográfica pertinente, al estudio de caso abordando ambos gobiernos, explicando de qué forma se manejaron esas directrices en sus respectivas gestiones y por último el estudio comparativo a partir de los “cuatro grados de mudanza” propuesto en el modelo teórico de Hermann (1990). Como resultado del estudio, se observó que si bien hubo cambios en el modo de llevarse a cabo estas directrices entre un gobierno y otro, no se manifestaron modificaciones profundas en las mismas, hubo apenas un descenso en cuanto al énfasis que se le daba entre un gobierno y otro. PALABRAS CLAVES: Política Externa, Paraguay, Grados de Cambio. SÓ RIO EM POL INTRODUCCION En el presente trabajo busca estudiar, comparar y evaluar el grado de cambio que han sufrido dos de las principales directrices de la política externa de la República del Paraguay, Í TICA EXTERNA TICA en los gobiernos de Fernando Lugo (2008-2012) y Horacio Cartes (2013-2014).

  • An Opportunity for Paraguay: the Challenges for Fernando Lugo
    NUEVA SOCIEDAD NRO. 216 JULIO-AGOSTO 2008 An Opportunity for Paraguay: The Challenges for Fernando Lugo ANDREW NICKSON Fernando Lugo’s triumph in the Paraguayan presidential elections is historic, not only because it is the first time in the world that an ex-bishop has won a presidential election, but also because it marks the end of the Colorado Party’s hegemony, after more than sixty years in power. After his victory, Lugo ratified his decision to renegotiate with Brazil the unjust contract of the Itaipú hydro-electrical plant and his willingness to increase taxes on the prosperous soy bean producers and improve the unequal distribution of the land. However, it will not be easy. Paraguay inherits serious development problems, while there is widespread lack of confidence in democracy and a corrupt and outdated political class. Furthermore, Lugo can count on little support in parliament and the predictable resistance of the Colorado Party which still controls a powerful system of client relationships. Andrew Nickson: MA in Economics, University of Cambridge. Reader in Public Ma­ nagement and Latin American Development in the International Development De­ partment at the University of Birmingham. He was Director of the European Union State Reform Project, Paraguay, and Director of the European Union Public Adminis­ tration Reform Programme for Latin America. Key Words: Elections, Politics, Soy Beans, Energy, Fernando Lugo, Paraguay. The victory of Fernando Lugo, a former Catholic bishop, in the presidential election on 20 April 2008 marks a turning point in the tortured political history of land-locked Paraguay, one of the poorest and most unequal countries in Latin America.

Press coverage has been inundated with the specter of his removal by impeachment. Every day, the media repeat statements by political leaders who accuse the president of "instigating a class struggle," calls from landowners exhorting their colleagues to arm themselves to defend their properties, threats of lawsuits from women who say they have children by Lugo from clandestine romantic relationships (see NotiSur, 2009-05-01) while he was a Catholic bishop (with the president's niece making an accusation not as a victim but as a witness), and even never-proven accusations of ties to alleged guerrilla groups that Lugo is supposedly financing and arming.

As in the time of the dictatorship of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989), the daily newspapers have gone back to using adjective-laden language more appropriate to the years of the Cold War (Red, Bolshevik, Marxist, Stalinist, Fidelista) to describe those who defend the democratic government overthrown on June 22 in an "impeachment" that lasted 270 minutes. In Congress, legislators of the rightist parties sprinkle their speeches with more modern epithets, such as Chavista or Bolivarian, when referring to the Venezuelan political process. Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay are, along with Paraguay, the full members of the Southern Cone Common Market (MERCOSUR).

  • Paraguay: Detrás Del Retorno De La Mafia De
    www.ceid.edu.ar - [email protected] Buenos Aires, Argentina PARAGUAY : DETRÁS DEL RETORNO DE LA MAFIA DE STROESSNER , LA INTELIGENCIA YANQUI 25/01/2012 Tomada de El País , Costa Rica 1 Jean-Guy Allard Tan grande es la confianza que reina entre Federico Franco, el presidente golpista de Paraguay, y la Embajada de Estados Unidos en este país que él llego a discutir de la oportunidad de derrocar a su presidente, Fernando Lugo, ya en 2009, con el embajador yanqui. Lo revelaba meses después un texto publicado por Wikileaks donde un funcionario de inteligencia de la Embajada cuenta como Franco conversó del tema con el diplomático. El texto fechado del 6 de mayo de 2009 y redactado por un miembro de la representación diplomática - leer CIA - y liberado más tarde por la tropa del australiano Julian Assange, señala las discrepancias observadas entre el presidente y su vicepresidente, y precisa las intenciones de este último. “Ciertamente, la división entre Lugo y Franco está creciendo. Sin embargo, Franco dijo el embajador de 28 de abril que él no está involucrado en algún plan para derrocar a Lugo y que su posición es mantener la paciencia para apoyar las instituciones democráticas de Paraguay”, dice textualmente el informe secreto. Federico Franco pertenece al Partido Liberal Radical Auténtico (PLRA - derecha), la “oposición” blanda permitida por el Partido Colorado del dictador Alfredo Stroessner que mantuvo durante 35 años su sanguinaria dictadura sobre Paraguay. La llegada de este médico liberal derechista al poder al lado del popular ex obispo Lugo 1 http://www.elpais.cr/frontend/noticia_detalle/3/69125 1 fue el resultado de unas contorsiones políticas cuyos secretos domina la clase política tradicional del país sudamericano.
