This paper analyzes the first year of government of Mauricio Macri, leader of the Cambiemos coalition. His victory in 2015 over the candidate of the incumbent Front for Victory marked a turning point in the country’s politics. We present the main political, social and economic events of the year and outline the fundamental positions of the new government in relation to these fields. We show the tensions of this center-right reorientation currently unfolding in Argentina, based on a vision of managerial modernization of politics and the state and controlled economic deregulation. We also explain how this project must deal with economic imbalances and social-structural conflicts, in addition to governing with a parliamentary minority and without control of most of the provincial governments.
本文分析了坎比莫联盟领导人毛里西奥·马克里执政第一年的情况。他在2015年战胜了现任胜利阵线(Front for victory)的候选人,标志着法国政治的一个转折点。我们介绍了今年的主要政治、社会和经济事件,并概述了新政府在这些领域的基本立场。我们展示了目前在阿根廷展开的这种中右翼重新定位的紧张局势,这是基于政治和国家管理现代化以及控制经济放松管制的愿景。我们还解释了该项目必须如何处理经济失衡和社会结构冲突,以及在议会少数党和大多数省政府不受控制的情况下进行治理。

The design and registration of Pre-analysis Plans (PAP) represents a significant improvement in social science research transparency. This tool is commonly used in experimental research. In this research note, we suggest extending the use of PAP to qualitative research. In recent decades, researchers have produced several methodological innovations, which have improved the quality of qualitative analysis. New tools also have been developed and researchers have taken important steps to improve data collection and transparency in the analysis of qualitative data. The development of Pre-analysis Plan-Qualitative (PAP-Q) aims to synthetize these advances into a guide for researchers, in order to improve transparency and better specify the role of induction in the construction of causal arguments.

Scholars of deliberation conceive of respect as a key component of reasoned democratic exchange. However, disrespect abounds in public debates, especially in contemporary online discussions. This article investigates the factors that foster disrespect in online debates. It also considers whether the existence of some disrespectful utterances may actually contribute to deliberation. After all, in certain situations, some types of disrespect may be useful to public debate to the extent that they may induce reciprocity and engender discursive mobilization. To that end, the article analyzes 1,281 comments about same-sex marriage in Brazil, which were posted on YouTube and other news websites. The analysis points to: (1) a relationship between disrespect and one specific type of reciprocity; (2) an association between disrespect and anonymity; and (3) a correlation between disrespect and the use of religious frames. These results suggest: (1) the importance of disaggregating variables usually associated with “good deliberation”; (2) the relationship between reciprocity and respect; (3) the protection offered by digital anonymity with respect to angry expression; and (4) the tension, first noted by Papacharissi (2004), between politeness and incivility.

Political competition may have virtuous effects similar to the effect that economic competition has in markets. Using cross-sectional data on local elections in Mexico, we evaluate the effect of political competition on the provision of local public goods, controlling for socio-economic and demographic factors. Evidence suggests that political competition is positively related to the coverage of municipal public services, having a greater effect in those areas with the highest poverty and income inequality conditions.

This article deals with the international fallout from Erich Honecker’s entrance into the Chilean embassy in Moscow in 1991. This process became one of the most confusing episodes in the recent history of Chilean foreign affairs. The study analyzes the internal political effects of Honecker’s case, focusing on two significant points of view: first, the conflict between the executive and legislative branches of government; and second, the positions adopted by political parties in response to the situation. The research is based on an exhaustive analysis of diplomatic primary sources, records from the Chamber of Deputies, and media archives.

In a context in which coups d’etat and military rule have practically disappeared from Latin America, why did severe political crises under similar political conditions produce democratic stability in Argentina but competitive authoritarianism in Peru? This article presents evidence that the intra-party dynamics and the robustness of sub-national politics determine regime outcomes by limiting the long-term accumulation of presidential power. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of both factors for studying other cases.

Sonia Arribas
El libro es importante porque es un ejercicio fundamental de historización. Fraser se ha caracterizado siempre por la creación de conceptos y claves de interpretación para intervenir políticamente en los debates feministas. Su rasgo más definitorio es que ha realizado esta tarea reflexionando sobre el devenir histórico del feminismo como movimiento y como teoría. Los problemas del presente solo los confrontamos cuando investigamos la manera en que hunden sus raíces en el pasado. En esta edición se incluye un prefacio escrito para la ocasión que da cuenta de la dificultad principal a la que se enfrenta hoy en día el feminismo: el que sus críticas al sexismo hayan sido cooptadas por el sistema neoliberal, de manera que se termina interpretando en términos meramente individualistas y meritocráticos, sin cuestionar en lo más mínimo las bases de explotación que sustentan dicho sistema. El feminismo contemporáneo tiene un dilema: el de dejarse arrastrar por la corriente ideológica de nuestro tiempo y optar por una versión liberal del sujeto, defensora del mercado, o decantarse por la democracia radical. Fraser prefiere lo segundo y su apuesta se enmarca en la justicia normativa.

Why do bureaucrats from developing countries cooperate internationally? I argue that international inter-agency cooperation in the Global South results from the need of expert bureaucrats to invest in skill formation when governments do not. When states cut funding, expert bureaucrats cooperate with foreign peers to upgrade their skillsets because career advancement is contingent on up-to-date expertise. To test my theory, I use cross-national co-sponsorship data of projects in nuclear energy, science and technology (NEST) for 69 countries (1980-2008). Results show that bureaucrats cooperate internationally when government spending decreases and that cooperation is more likely to occur among bureaucrats with higher initial skill levels and similar levels of professional development (i.e. homophily). These findings carry implications for the study of global governance in the developing world.
