    Interview with Mr. Danilo Astori, Vice President of Uruguay Date: October 2012 IN FOCUS (IF): To start with, we would like to talk about your political career. You have been Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Senator, Founder of the Asemblea Uruguay (within the Frente Amplio (FA) party), Minister of Finance and now you are Vice President. Where does this passion come from, this love of politics? Danilo Astori (DA): This has all been brewing since my dedication to economics when I was teaching and researching it. I was fortunate to do a lot of that in Uruguay, and in many countries of the world, particularly Latin America. I did my masters at the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Mr. Danilo Astori, Vice President of Uruguay Caribbean (CEPAL) in Santiago de Chile, and then got a job there.

  • Uruguay: Economía Bien, Solidaridad Mejor, Seguridad Mal Miércoles, 17 De Diciembre De 2014 02:17
    Uruguay: economía bien, solidaridad mejor, seguridad mal Miércoles, 17 de Diciembre de 2014 02:17 Dicho acta, verdadero monumento a la violación de las garantías individuales, prevé la internación fuera de la jurisdicción norteamericana de personas sospechadas de atentar contra la seguridad de los Estados Unidos. El consecuente encarcelamiento –secuestro como señala el propio Mujica- no tiene límite de tiempo, ni debe ser siquiera prolegómeno del debido proceso. Desde el derecho penal consiste en un retroceso que hace rememorar la toma de la Bastilla en Francia, cuando el pueblo de Paris incendió la prisión donde el régimen monárquico absolutista encerraba discrecionalmente a súbditos franceses. Con el presidente Barack Obama, el gobierno de Estados Unidos se trazó el objetivo –aún lejos de ser logrado- de cerrar Guantánamo. Algo que el Congreso se empecina en impedir. Para ello, necesita que los ciudadanos extranjeros internados en la prisión retornen a sus países de origen o sea recibidos por terceros países. Al menos, todos aquellos sobre los que no pesa una declaración de peligrosidad. Para muchos de ellos, el retorno a sus respectivos países no cuenta con garantías suficientes, dadas las condiciones políticas allí imperantes. Desde el primero de noviembre pasado, contando los seis que llegaron a Uruguay, un total de trece prisioneros fueron transferidos: tres a Georgia, dos a Eslovaquia, uno a Arabia Saudita y uno a Kuwait. Restan aún 136. Prevista desde hace varios meses, la liberación en Uruguay de los seis prisioneros fue bloqueada, durante algún tiempo, por el Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos. Luego, en agosto, fue postergada, por el propio presidente Mujica, en razón de la inmediatez de las elecciones presidenciales.

  • The Debate Over Private Sector Participation, 1990-2010
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WATER, ACTIVISM, AND THE WORLD BANK: THE DEBATE OVER PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION, 1990-2010 Karen F. Travis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor Ken Conca, Department of Government and Politics This dissertation examines the transformation of the World Bank’s agenda for private sector participation in urban water and sanitation utilities in developing countries between 1990-2010. I analyze agenda change at the Bank at the level of international policy and through a case study of Uruguay. The case study of Uruguay examines a successful domestic and transnational activist campaign to reform that country’s constitution to prohibit private sector involvement in the provision of water and sanitation services. I find that a pro-privatization agenda institutionalized in the Bank during the 1990s as a result of convergent interests between donor states, the Bank, and transnational corporations was destabilized by a dynamic interplay of external and internal forces in the 2000s. Transnational activist networks, client states, and transnational corporations in retreat comprised the new configuration of external actors constraining the Bank in the 2000s. Tensions internal to the Bank, between its roles as a financial institution and a knowledge producer, and in relation to its neoliberal ideological orientation, have militated against sustained learning as the Bank has confronted the failure of its agenda. I show the Bank to be only a partial learner, unable to resolve contradictions between its espoused development goals, profit-making imperative, and ideology. Transnational activists’ impact on the Bank occurred primarily through country-level campaigns, not through direct engagement or donor pressure, the main routes through which civil society activists have engaged with the Bank in the past.
