Márquez-Fernández** Resumen La política es un espacio y escenario para el desarrollo de las diversas relaciones sociales de poder, legitimidad y consenso que se generan en la sociedad. Éstas están mediadas por la presencia del Estado, inter- ventor y regulador de la legalidad, con el propósito de resolver o ate- nuar los desequilibrios que generan los conflictos y las crisis que cau- san las diversas disputas ideológicas de los grupos, sectores y movi- mientos sociales. En este ensayo analizamos, a partir de la realidad po- lítica venezolana, algunas de esas relaciones a través del discurso polí- tico con el que se pretende construir la opinión pública de una ciudada- nía que reclama una participación más directa en la toma de decisiones políticas. También, las prácticas mediáticas que inducen los medios de comunicación contrarias a los intereses emancipadores del colectivo social que están caracterizando actualmente las transformaciones del Estado.

MA. November 2005. International Affairs The Role of OAS in the Political Crisis of Venezuela (144 pp.) Director of Thesis: Thomas Walker This thesis describes the intervention of the OAS in the Venezuelan political crisis between April 2002 and May 2003. Invoking for first time its Democratic Charter, the OAS became the principal actor in Venezuela using symbolic diplomacy, good offices, and third party mediation. The OAS clearly signaled to domestic and regional actors that antidemocratic actions would not be tolerated in the region and created conditions for local actors to engage in dialogue and negotiation which reduced the level of violence and conflict. Nevertheless, the OAS's intervention in Venezuela reveals the limited consensus among its members as to how the Inter-American Charter should be applied to democratic crises that are beyond the scope of coups and self-coups. Also, the creation of the OAS-backed roundtable and the Group of Friends of Gaviria reveals that the US dictated the terms under which the OAS intervention took place in Venezuela.

  • Thesis and My Research Design
    INTRODUCTION The media holds a position in society, where the interests of political actors, elites, and the public are intertwined. The idea that an informed citizenry is essential to the functioning of democracy is reiterated since the time of Plato, and then Mill, and in modern society the news media have been imbued with the duty of keeping the public informed and thereby serving a crucial democratic function. Yet, democratic ideals do not always serve elite interests, and this particular role of the news media can at times be seen as at odds, or even detrimental, to those interests. The consequence, naturally, is a perpetual conflict over the content and framing of news. However, the presence of a conflict in and of itself does not determine the outcome. The variation in the levels of freedom of speech across democracies is testament to this. Therefore, in order to understand this variation, our analysis must go beyond observing the fact of conflict, and rather engage with the mechanisms through which elites can succeed or fail in their attempt to control news content. A commonly espoused view of mass media portrays it as considerably independent and powerful, capable of bringing down governments, a potential threat to national security and welfare because of its insatiable appetite for sensationalism, perhaps even scandal. Although this approach has not been embraced by academics, it is frequently referred to by politicians when attacking publications and journalists with the charges of not being sufficiently patriotic or endangering the security and the stability of the country. Recently, the same logic and arguments have been used generously by government officials against the British daily The Guardian in the Snowden affair, and against sources that published the WikiLeaks documents.
