  • Tobati : Tradition and Change in a Paraguayan Town
    TOBATI: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A PARAGUAYAN TOWN BY JAMES ESTON HAY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1993 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by a Fulbright HE Dissertation Fellowship under the U.S. Department of Education, and a Dissertation Fellowship from the Organization of American States. I am most grateful for the support of both institutions in completing the fieldwork necessary for this study. I especially thank Mr. Alan Rogers, United States Information Service in Asuncion, and Sr. Atilio Nieto, special operations officer of the Organization of American States, in the same city, for their personal attention during my stay in Paraguay. During the many years I worked with the Peace Corps and with private business in Paraguay, I made many close friends, met many people, and made contact with many institutions in both the governmental and private sectors. When I returned to Paraguay to embark on the present study, I was grateful that those people were there to greet me and help me in so many ways. I often prevailed upon the kindness and patience of old friends and acquaintances, as much for camaraderie as for assistance in my work. Due to the help of many individuals, I bypassed much of the red tape and bureaucratic "channels" (truly the bane of researchers in Latin American countries) that otherwise would have made life so much more difficult and less pleasurable. I was especially happy to see old friends and colleagues among the Paraguayan staff of the Peace Corps as well as the directors and staff of MONITOR S.A.

With this frame, the war between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Northern Chaco region (1932–1935) emerges as a paradigmatic conflict that many in the Americas interpreted as resulting from the conspiracy man- oeuvres of foreign oil interests to grab land supposedly rich in oil. At the heart of such interpretation, projected by those critical of the fratricidal war, were partial and extrapolated facts, which sidelined the weight of long-term disputes between these South American countries traumatised by previous international wars resulting in humiliating defeats and territorial losses, and thus prone to welcome warfare to bolster national pride and overcome the memory of past debacles.

  • Legislative Behavior, Mass Media, and Foreign Policy Making: the Case of Paraguay
    Feliú Ribeiro, Pedro, Camilo López Burian, and Francisco Urdinez. 2021. Legislative Behavior, Mass Media, and Foreign Policy Making: The Case of Paraguay. Latin American Research Review 56(2), pp. 334–352. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.592 POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Legislative Behavior, Mass Media, and Foreign Policy Making: The Case of Paraguay Pedro Feliú Ribeiro1, Camilo López Burian2 and Francisco Urdinez3 1 Universidade de São Paulo, BR 2 Universidad de la República, UY 3 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, CL Corresponding author: Pedro Feliú Ribeiro ([email protected]) Does national media news coverage affect the behavior of legislators when deciding foreign policy matters? This article aims to disentangle the relationship between the media and legislative behavior in foreign policy, using Paraguay as a case study. We analyze the level of public debate on international affairs, measured by the frequency of news in the newspaperABC Color in the six months before the roll-call votes on the Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay. The literature on Latin American studies finds a lack of parliamentary interest in foreign affairs due to low voter attention to this subject, and therefore a low impact on reelections. We find the relationship between parliamentary polarization and public interest in a bill to be mediated by mass media. After estimating a Tobit model, we observe a significant and positive relationship between the news coverage a law receives and the degree of polarization among parliamentarians. Thus, our empirical evidence contradicts the idea that there is a lack of electoral interest in foreign policy. We confirm this finding through qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews.

    ERPI 2018 International Conference Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World Conference Paper No.10 The Rural Roots and Consequences of Authoritarian Populism in Paraguay Arturo Ezquerro-Cañete 17-18 March 2018 International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague, Netherlands Organized jointly by: In collaboration with: Disclaimer: The views expressed here are solely those of the authors in their private capacity and do not in any way represent the views of organizers and funders of the conference. March, 2018 Check regular updates via ERPI website: www.iss.nl/erpi ERPI 2018 International Conference - Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World The Rural Roots and Consequences of Authoritarian Populism in Paraguay Arturo Ezquerro-Cañete Introduction Authoritarian populism is a key issue of our times. Conceptually it refers to the often contradictory ways in which a personalist leader appeals to a heretofore-inchoate mass of followers (“the people”) by tapping into their dissatisfaction with traditional politicians and established institutions (“the elite”) for its (real and/or perceived) frustrating or endangering of a number of demands, interests or identities (Dix 1985; Hall 1985; Eke and Kuzio 2000; Sondrol 2007; Petkovski 2015). De Cleen and Stavrakakis (2017: 310) propose the following definition to grasp the particularity of populist politics: Populism is a dichotomic discourse in which “the people” are juxtaposed to “the elite” along the lines of a down/up antagonism in which “the people” is discursively constructed as a large powerless group through opposition to “the elite” conceived as a small and illegitimately powerful group. Populist politics thus claim to represent “the people” against an “elite” that frustrates their legitimate demands, and presents these demands as expressions of the will of “the people” (for similar definitions, see Laclau 2005).

  • The Rhetoric of Land Reform: Paraguay
    A Rhetorical Analysis of the Campesinos Sin Tierra Struggle for Land Reform in Paraguay by John Robert Gillette B.A., New College, 1992 M.A., New Mexico State University, 1997 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Pittsburgh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Communication University of Pittsburgh 2004 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by John Robert Gillette It was defended on October 1, 2004 and approved by Peter Simonson Carol Stabile Silvia Borzutzky Gordon Mitchell Dissertation Director ii A Rhetorical Analysis of the Campesinos Sin Tierra Struggle for Land Reform in Paraguay John Robert Gillette, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2004 This dissertation analyzes the rhetorical situation of the peasant-driven land reform struggle in the country of Paraguay. While the term “Campesinos Sin Tierra” unites the many different groups participating in the struggle, this work specifically identifies the character of many peasant organizations at local and national levels of participation as well as exploring the attitudes and contributions of individual peasants. The struggle is situated within both historical and rhetorical contexts. The historical importance of land tenure practices is recognized and traced from pre-Columbian civilization to the present. The concept of land as a socio-political instrument as well as an economic resource is explored and related to the present politics of land reform. In addition, the nature of peasant organization, protest strategies, argumentation and success are thoroughly investigated and elucidated in this work. Through on-site research, interviews and translation of newspaper accounts and academic students of Paraguayan peasants, the dissertation develops a thick description of peasant perspectives in the struggle.
