Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded September 2020. ii © 2020 Alberto Lioy iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Alberto Lioy Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science September 2020 Title: Electoral Revolutions: A Comparative Study of Rapid Changes in Voter Turnout In the political science scholarship on democratic elections, aggregate voter turnout is assumed to be stable, and depends upon an acquired habit across the electorate. Large turnout variations in a short period of time are therefore usually attributed to negligible contextual factors. This work establishes that such variations are more frequent than commonly thought and creates a novel theoretical framework and methodological approach for systematically studying rapid changes in voter turnout across Western Europe and Latin America. I attribute dramatic changes in voters’ participation, labeled electoral revolutions, to transformations in the party system competition and institutional credibility happening inside the national political context.

  • The Surge of Unaccompanied Children from Central America Root Causes and Policy Solutions
    The Surge of Unaccompanied Children from Central America Root Causes and Policy Solutions By Dan Restrepo and Ann Garcia July 24, 2014 Over the past few years, and in particular over the past few months, the number of children and families leaving the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras and arriving in neighboring countries and at our southern border has grown significantly. Already in fiscal year 2014, more than 57,000 children have arrived in the United States, double the number who made it to the U.S. southern border in FY 2013.1 The number of families arriving at the border, consisting mostly of mothers with infants and toddlers, has increased in similar proportions. In fiscal year 2013, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, apprehended fewer than 10,000 families per year; yet, more than 55,000 families were apprehended in the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 alone.2 The majority of unaccompanied children and families who are arriving come from a region of Central America known as the “Northern Triangle,” where high rates of violence and homicide have prevailed in recent years and economic opportunity is increasingly hard to come by. Officials believe a total of at least 90,000 children will arrive on the U.S.-Mexico border by the end of this fiscal year in September.3 This brief aims to shed light on this complex situation by putting the numbers of people leaving the Northern Triangle into context; analyzing the broad host of drivers in Central America that have caused a significant uptick in children leaving their countries; and prescribing a series of foreign policy steps to facilitate management of this crisis and also to address the long-term root causes pushing these children to flee their home countries.

  • Country Case Study 3 the Ecuadorian Outsourced National Forest Control System Guillermo Navarro, Filippo Del Gatto and Martin Schroeder
    Case Study June 2006 Country Case Study 3 The Ecuadorian Outsourced National Forest Control System Guillermo Navarro, Filippo Del Gatto and Martin Schroeder SUMMARY To improve the public administration and control of timber production in its biodiversity-rich forests, in 2000 Ecuador implemented the development of an innovative scheme: the Outsourced National Forest Control System. The system was based on three components: (i) Vigilancia Verde, a government-civil society body responsible for policing the road transport of forest products; (ii) the Regentes Forestales, professional foresters with public responsibility for monitoring legality in the forest; and (iii) the outsourcing to a private company of administrative and verification services. The innovation and early achievements of this system attracted worldwide attention but, in 2002, the implementation of the third component engendered fierce opposition within the country. In October 2003, Ecuador’s Constitutional Tribunal ruled against the component, leading to its suspension and the overall weakening of the system. This paper describes the contextual factors that led to the development of the Outsourced National Forest Control System, its specific legislation and architecture, and the main reasons for its fall. 1. Introduction The paper is in nine sections, including this Ecuador has the highest deforestation rate in South introduction. Section 2 summarises a few central America, fuelled in part by widespread illegal logging. To aspects of Ecuador’s forestry sector. Section 3 reviews tackle this, Ecuador promoted an innovative scheme: the the historical and political origins of the SNTCF, and Outsourced National Forest Control System (abbreviated Section 4 describes its legal basis. Section 5 discusses the to SNTCF in Spanish1).

  • Democracy and Poverty Reduction Strategies in the Latin American Heavily Indebted Poor Countries 1999-2006
    Democracy and Poverty Reduction Strategies in the Latin American Heavily Indebted Poor Countries 1999-2006 Sarah Jane Hunt, B.A., MDevStud PhD Thesis University of Limerick Supervised by: Prof. Peadar Kirby Submitted to the University of Limerick, September 2011 Abstract Democracy and Poverty Reduction Strategies in the Latin American Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, 1999-2006. Sarah Jane Hunt This thesis is about the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) approach and its implementation in three Latin American countries, Bolivia, Honduras and Nicaragua. The PRS approach emerged in response to international campaigns around debt relief and international convergence around poverty reduction objectives. The approach implied a role for the state in coordinating poverty reduction interventions, and a role for civil society to participate in these processes, through the principles of ownership and participation. This study engages with the extensive literature on the PRS process in Latin America and assesses the extent to which it offers an adequate account of how donor practices, based on a certain set of theoretical assumptions about the state and civil society, affected outcomes, and whether the impact of politics within these three case study countries is adequately captured. To address this research agenda, this thesis offers a multi-layered analysis to complement top-down approaches with state-centred, political, and bottom-up explanations for change in the region. Combining this analytical approach with comparative insights of the experiences in the three cases offers a unique perspective on the PRS experience. The study examines the implementation of neoliberal reform prior to the PRS approach, highlighting how it shaped politics and society, but also how neoliberalism was contested to set the context.

    Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos, Universidad de Costa Rica, 45: 19-48, 2019 ISSN: 2215-4175 / DOI: 10.10.15517/AECA.V45I0.39664 LA CONFIGURACIÓN HISTÓRICA DE LAS ÉLITES DE HONDURAS ANTE EL GOLPE DE ESTADO DEL 2009 THE HISTORICAL TRAJECTORY OF HONDURAS’S ELITES BEFORE THE COUP D’ETAT OF 2009 Darío A. Euraque Recibido: 08/01/2019 - Aceptado: 22/03/2019 Resumen Este artículo aborda la problemática de la configuración de las élites hondureñas previo al golpe de Estado del 2009 que derrocó el Gobierno del presidente José Manuel Zelaya Rosales. Ese y otros sucesos posteriores provocaron una de las mayores crisis sociales y políticas en Honduras en los últimos 50 años. Con el golpe de Estado del 2009 se destruyeron casi treinta años de gobernabilidad democrática establecida desde la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente que generó la última Constitución del país, ello después de casi veinte años de gobiernos militares. Dos meses luego del golpe se publicaron las primeras interpretaciones explicando los orígenes, a corto y mediado y hasta largo plazo de los sucesos de 2009. Un foco de atención de esas interpretaciones perfiló como protagonistas a los personajes más conspicuos y miembros de una llamada “oligarquía” capitalista hondureña. Este artículo contextualiza esta interpretación históricamente y ofrece una hipótesis al respecto. Palabras clave: élites, oligarquía, capitalismo, etnoracial, etnohistoria, árabe-palestinos. Abstract This article addresses the problematic formation of Honduran elites prior to the Coup d’etat in Honduras that in 2009 overthrew the government of PresidentManuel Zelaya Rosales. That and subsequent events generated one of the most important political and social crises in Honduras during the last 50 years.

It is a story of an attempt to transform the state through indigenous ideas in a poor and ethnically heterogeneous country in the Global South. By following the notion of vivir bien, good life, a term that has emerged in Bolivia’s political and policy discourses since the election of Evo Morales as the first indigenous president of the country in December 2005, it examines contested articulations between policy, politics, and power.
