    Memorial Struggles and Power Strategies of the Rights in Latin America Today

    http://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n31.2019.01 Memorial struggles and power strategies of the rights in Latin America today Luchas memoriales y estrategias de poder de las derechas en América Latina hoy Verónica Giordano Teacher and Researcher UBA and CONICET [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7299-6984 Gina Paola Rodríguez Teacher and Researcher UNLPam and UBA [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1702-3386 Abstract Recently, right-wing forces of different origins and types have sprung up in Latin America. In this article, four countries are studied: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The first two correspond to cases in which the right-wing groups stand in opposition to the so-called progressive governments. The other two correspond to cases in which they stand in a political system with a strong continuity of predominance of right-wing forces. Since there are few studies with an overall perspective, this article seeks to make a contribution in that direction. The objective is to analyze the non-electoral strategies of construction and/ or exercise of power implemented by the right-wing groups around the memorial struggles. Based on the review of journalistic sources and speeches of the national right-wing referents, this article analyzes how current right-wing groups have proceeded to the institution of languages and the definition of a field of meanings that dispute the meaning of the recent past. From a comparative perspective, it is argued that in all four cases negationism offers an effective repertoire for these groups, which is used in their non- electoral (as well as electoral) strategies for building hegemony at the cultural level.

    The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra's Presidency

    A REPORT OF COUNCIL 2501 Calvert St. NW, Suite 401 ON Washington, DC 20008 HEMISPHERIC (202) 223-4975 AFFAIRS [email protected] July 10, 2018 Where does Perú go from here: The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra’s Presidency | by Jonathan Goodman Research Associate at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs To view this article online, please click here. Introduction The legacy of one of Peru’s cruelest presidents, Alberto Fujimori, has continued to afflict the political careers of succeeding Peruvian presidents and even his own children: Keiko and Kenji. Although it is naive to assert that Fujimori’s legacy and downfall have directly contributed to the environment of malfeasance in Peru’s legislature and executive office, his actions exacerbate the corruption nightmare that has plagued the Peruvian people for too long. On March 21, 2018, former Peruvian president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) resigned from office, just four months shy of his two-year anniversary as president. With the current Peruvian constitution imposing five-year term limits for its presidents, PPK is the first Peruvian president in the 21st century to fall short of that five-year benchmark. Even so, all elected Peruvian presidents since Alberto Fujimori have been investigated for corruption, with many being COUNCIL ON HEMISPHERIC AFFAIRS July 10, 2018 Where does Perú go from here: The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra’s Presidency: by Jonathan Goodman indicted.

  • Ethical Issues Raised by Animal Research

    Ethical Issues Raised by Animal Research

    Chapter 3 Ethical issues raised by animal research The ethics of research involving animals Ethical issues raised by animal research CHAPTER 3 Introduction 3.1 As we have said, the debate about research involving animals ranges broadly over two distinct questions. The first asks whether animal research yields useful knowledge that could ETHICAL ISSUES RAISED BY ANIMAL RESEARCH not be gained from other sources. The second concerns whether it is morally acceptable for humans to use animals in ways that can cause them harm. These two questions are clearly related: if it were the case that we learn nothing useful and distinctive from research that may harm animals, it would be difficult to see how, on any reasonable view, it could be morally justified. The question of scientific justification is therefore fundamental to the question of moral justification and we explore it in detail in Chapters 5–10. 3.2 However, a positive answer to the scientific question does not settle the moral question, for it may be the case that an experiment that yields useful and relevant information is not ethically acceptable. We need therefore to consider from first principles the arguments in support of, and against, research involving animals. For the purpose of our discussion, we take the principal ethical questions to be the following: I Provided there are substantial benefits associated with animal research, why should the use of animals require special justification? I Can any use of animals by humans be justified? Which specific issues need to be considered in the case of research? I What role does the unavailability of alternatives play in the justification of research involving animals? I How does the justification of such research relate to the justification of other uses, such as food production? I What is the appropriate role of regulation for research involving animals? 3.3 For each of these questions, we consider commonly encountered arguments to bring clarity to the debate; to identify agreement where it exists; and to understand what lies behind remaining disagreement.

    To Elif, Cüneyt and Mahir EXPLAINING DURATION OF LEADERSHIP CHANGE IN ARAB UPRISINGS THROUGH PERCEIVED POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURES: COMPARING EGYPT AND SYRIA The Graduate School of Economics and Social Sciences of İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University by OSMAN BAHADIR DİNÇER In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SICENCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION İHSAN DOĞRAMACI BİLKENT UNIVERSITY ANKARA September 2016 ABSTRACT EXPLAINING DURATION OF LEADERSHIP CHANGE IN ARAB UPRISINGS THROUGH PERCEIVED POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURES: COMPARING EGYPT AND SYRIA Dinçer, Osman Bahadır Ph. D., Department of Political Science and Public Administration Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Saime Özçürümez Bölükbaşı September 2016 Egyptian President Mubarak was forced to leave office after turbulent public protests that lasted eighteen days in 2011. Yet, in the Syrian case, we have currently been witnessing a completely different state of affairs. Hence, this comparative work is an attempt at exploring the dynamics of change within the context of domestic politics in two of the most important ‘Arab Spring’ countries, Egypt and Syria. The present research seeks to answer the following question: During the recent uprisings in the Arab world, why has the removal from office of the incumbent leader is less likely in Syria when compared to Egypt? The purpose of this research is two-fold. First, it investigates whether or not the historical trajectories [particularly from early 1970s to 2011] of these two states indicate a substantial difference in terms of being politically open or closed and in having different institutions with different characteristics. Second, it examines to what extent the strategies implemented by the regimes during the uprisings (January 25, 2011- February 11, 2011 [Egypt] and March 2011-2014 iii [Syria]) influence the claim-making capabilities of those opposition groups and the structure of elite alliances within the society and political scene.
