  • “Mano Dura”: Authoritarian Legacies and Policing in Brazil and the Southern Cone
    The Persistence of the “Mano Dura”: Authoritarian Legacies and Policing in Brazil and the Southern Cone Anthony Pereira Department of Political Science Tulane University Mark Ungar Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars LASA Congress Las Vegas, October 2004 Abstract Democratic transitions in Brazil and the southern cone have had relatively little impact on patterns of policing. Close military-police ties, militarized training and doctrine, high rates of violence, a lack of effective court oversight, and continuity of organizational forms and personnel are all characteristics of the police in contemporary Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. Why has there been so little change in policing in these new democracies? Some scholars argue that these patterns are a legacy of recent military rule, but we argue that they are a legacy of an authoritarian state rather than just of specific authoritarian regimes. Other scholars attribute variation in new democracies to different modes of transition, but we assert that civil society support and political interests are more important than the initial transition in the enactment of police reforms (or the lack of them). Finally, we explain that the degree of police centralization powerfully influences reform efforts in these Latin American democracies. Introduction In Latin America, violence by the police – and its support by the law, courts, and state agencies – was an integral part of authoritarianism. But the transitions to democracy did not have the impact on police forces that they did on more prominent actors such as political parties and military high commands. “Police” here refers to state security forces responsible for domestic “law and order,” which includes military and intelligence agencies as well as police forces.

  • “Anarchists Are More Animal Than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property
    “Anarchists Are More Animal than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property Benjamin Abbott When I first read Chris Hedges’ now infamous denunciation of “Black Bloc anarchists” in the Occupy Wall Street movement, I felt as if I had stepped back in time to the turn of the twentieth century. Hedges’ charges of senseless aggression motivated by primal passions and bent only on universal destruction would fit seamlessly into an 1894 issue of the New York Herald-Tribune or Los Angeles Times. However, as Doreen Massey reminds us, such attempts to assign contemporaries to the past denies how we share space in the world and implies belief in a teleological narrative of progress. Invoking tropes of animality to rhetorically construct political opponents as – to use Chandan Reddy's words – “the enemies of modern political society” remains a key persuasive strategy as well as an enduring technology of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism here in the twenty-first century. Even a cursory look at language of the war on terror and its production of the Islamic terrorist as national bête noire demonstrates this. Though I would like to simply dismiss Hedges’ anti-anarchist piece as an anomalous echo of discredited reactionary hyperbole, I instead interpret it as representative of a thriving modern phenomenon. The Occupy Wall Street movement has prompted a proliferation and reemphasis of the preexisting discourse of anarchists as the inhuman and unreasonably violent enemies of humanity.1 This essay takes the Hedges article as a point of departure to explore earlier expressions of this discourse specifically through the lens of property.

  • Americas Overview
    AMERICAS OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The October 1998 arrest in London of Chile=s former military ruler, Augusto Pinochet, rekindled hopes for victims of human rights abuses around the world. The case marked a significant step forward in the struggle to achieve justice for egregious human rights violations, spawning the development of similar efforts to pursue former dictators enjoying retirement in the comfort of impunity. Accustomed to seeing impunity as the norm, human rights activists worldwide were encouraged by Pinochet=s detention. In Latin America, in particular, impunity for major violations continued to be one of the principle obstacles to human rights protection. Although democracies in the region remained stable for the most part, human rights violations took place throughout, nowhere more brutally than in Colombia. And even as the Pinochet precedent broke new ground, fresh challenges to international human rights mechanisms arose. Significantly, Chile did not face political instability as a consequence of the legal action taken against the general in Spain and the United Kingdom. Opponents of the Spanish prosecution had predicted dire political consequences if it moved forward, in part as a means to pressure the two European countries into ensuring that Pinochet was returned to Chile without facing charges in Spain. Yet by the end of October 1999, Chile was preparing without turmoil for a presidential election in December in which Pinochet was not a major issue. Meanwhile, judges detained and charged numerous former officers of his government for grave human rights abuses. Moreover, a majority of Chileans, according to public opinion polls, believed that Pinochet should be brought to account for the human rights violations that accompanied his coup.

  • Executive Leadership and the Continuing Quest for Justice in Argentina
    Executive Leadership and the Continuing Quest for Justice in Argentina Terence Roehrig Human Rights Quarterly, Volume 31, Number 3, August 2009, pp. 721-747 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/hrq.0.0097 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/hrq/summary/v031/31.3.roehrig.html Access Provided by Stetson University at 01/17/11 6:18PM GMT HUMAN RIGHTS QUARTERLY Executive Leadership and the Continuing Quest for Justice in Argentina Terence Roehrig* ABSTRACT After Argentina transitioned from military rule to democracy, the new civilian government attempted to prosecute members of the former military regime for human rights abuses. However, military rebellions, pardons, and amnesty laws prevented all but a few from being held accountable for past crimes. In 2003, President Néstor Kirchner along with the Argentine legislature and Supreme Court opened the door for further prosecution. Though many contributed to the revival of these efforts to prosecute military personnel and police, it was the actions of President Kirchner that were most crucial in removing the obstacles necessary to resume judicial proceedings. * Terence Roehrig is an Associate Professor in the National Security Decision Making Depart- ment at the U.S. Naval War College. He is a co-author of a forthcoming book entitled South Korea since 1980: Democratization, Economic Struggle, and Nuclear Crisis (Cambridge University Press, 2010) with Uk Heo. In addition, he is the author of two books, From De- terrence to Engagement: The U.S. Defense Commitment to South Korea (Lexington Books, 2006) and The Prosecution of Former Military Leaders in Newly Democratic Nations: The Cases of Argentina, Greece, and South Korea (McFarland Press, 2002), and coeditor of Ko- rean Security in a Changing East Asia (Praeger, 2007).

THE “NORMALIZATION” OF ARGENTINE POLITICS Steven Levitsky Steven Levitsky, assistant professor of government at Harvard University, is the author (with David Collier) of “Democracy with Adjectives: Conceptual Innovation in Comparative Research,” published in April 1997 in World Politics. His essay “Fujimori and Post-Party Politics in Peru” appeared in the July 1999 issue of the Journal of Democracy. On 24 October 1999, Fernando de la Rua of the opposition Alliance for Jobs, Justice, and Education was elected president of Argentina, defeating Eduardo Duhalde of the incumbent Justicialista (or Peronist) Party (PJ) by a margin of 49 percent to 38 percent. Former economics minister Domingo Cavallo, running on the center-right Action for the Republic party ticket, finished third with 10 percent. The election was unprecedented in several respects. De la Rua’s assumption of the presidency marked the first time that Argentine democracy had survived two consecutive transfers of power from one party to another, as well as the first time that a Peronist had been removed from national office by democratic means.

Domínguez Authoritarian Inheritance and Conservative Party-Building in Latin America Abstract Beginning in the late 1970s, with the onset of the third wave of democratization, a host of new conservative parties emerged in Latin America. The trajectories of these parties varied tremendously. While some went on to enjoy long-term electoral success, others failed to take root. The most successful new conservative parties all shared a surprising characteristic: they had deep roots in former dictatorships. They were “authoritarian successor parties,” or parties founded by high-level incumbents of authoritarian regimes that continue to operate after a transition to democracy.

  • Attacks Justice
    ATTACKS ON JUSTICE The Harassment and Persecution of Judges and Lawyers June 1990 - May 1991 Edited by Reed Brody CENTRE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS of the INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF JURISTS THE CENTRE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS (CIJL) The Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers was created by the International Commis­ sion of Jurists in 1978 to counter serious inroads into the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession by: - promoting world-wide the basic need for an independent judiciary and legal profession; - organising support for judges and lawyers who are being harassed or persecuted. In pursuing these goals, the CIJL: - intervenes with governments in particular cases of harassment or persecution and, in some in­ stances, solicits the aid of a network of jurists and lawyers' organisations throughout the world to do likewise; - works with the United Nations ~n setting standards for the independence of judges and lawyers and the impartial administration of justice. The CIJL was instrumental in the formulation of the UN Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary adopted at the Seventh Congress on the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders in 1985 and endorsed by the UN General Assembly. lt is now working with the UN on similar principles on the role of lawyers; - organises conferences and seminars on the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession. Regional seminars have been held in Central America, South America, South Asia, South-East Asia, East Africa, West Africa and the Caribbean. Several national seminars have also been organised.

  • Contesting the Iron Fist: Dilemmas of Advocacy Networks in Controlling Police Abuses in Argentina1
    Contesting the Iron Fist: Dilemmas of Advocacy Networks in Controlling Police Abuses in Argentina1 By Claudio Fuentes FLACSO-Chile [email protected] The Problem Most citizens in the Western world consider that controlling crime and delinquency are main priorities governments should focus on. The problem is what are the costs a society should pay for public safety. In some cases, like in the province of Buenos Aires, a governor suggested that “we need to shoot delinquents. I am not saying kill them, but shoot them in their arms or legs.”2 In other less extreme cases, delivering public safety means providing the police with more legal tools to arrest individuals. In most cases, politicians frame the problem as a trade-off between protecting citizens’ rights and providing public safety. While all democratic societies have accepted the inviolability of citizens' physical integrity as a core principle of social life, there is a constant tension between the protection of such right and the actual use of force by security forces to prevent crime, delinquency, and even terrorism. This trade-off is particularly acute in the developing world where governments faces simultaneous pressures to solve socioeconomic problems, reinforce the rule of law, generate a more efficient state apparatus, and overcome institutional and political legacies of past authoritarian regimes. Social protests are likely to rise in a context in which structural economic reforms have increased social inequality and reduced the capacity of the state to deliver services. As an expected outcome, governments are tempted to use force to deal with internal conflicts. Moreover, higher levels of unemployment and poverty have been generally associated with higher levels of crime which, in turn, affect policies regarding the use of force to control crime.
