La complejidad de las sociedades actuales, que, además, afrontan inmensos desafíos locales y globales que requieren soluciones dialogadas y asumidas por la mayoría, nos hace entender el porqué una gobernanza con verdadera implicación de la participación ciudadana es hoy una necesidad estructural de las sociedades democráticas. La apuesta decidida por gobiernos abiertos con la colaboración de una ciudadanía activa y comprometida en las decisiones públicas y colectivas requiere contar, entre otros, con personas suficientemente cualificadas y preparadas para acompañar a las instituciones públicas y entidades de la sociedad civil en ese proceso generador de inteligencia colectiva para el fortalecimiento democrático. Esta publicación, surgida del título en Gobernanza y Participación Ciudadana que se imparte en la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, no pretende ni mucho menos abarcar todos los campos metodológicos y de conocimiento relacionados con la construcción democrática de una gobernanza con protagonismo ciudadano. Aquí se han reunido algunas visiones críticas, constructivas y posibilistas de la participación ciudadana que, en última instancia, ayuden a los agentes facilitadores (funcionarios o decisores políticos, activistas de la sociedad civil organizada, profesionales de la innovación social y ciudadana) a contextualizar y encajar de manera realista su papel en la activación de procesos de participación ciudadana.

This book presents in-depth analyses of the wave of political protest and unrest that spread throughout Latin America between 2010 and 2015 in order to answer a question that has been challenging social scientists all over the region: why some countries have faced a divorce between their social movements and political parties while others have not? The contributions gathered in this volume intend to show that the logic of political representation in Latin America and its supposed “crisis” is not a common and constant feature for all region. Some countries like Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico seem to have experienced a process of autonomization of its social movements vis-à-vis its institutional political system. However, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay have not seen such a split between civil society and the political parties. Bringing together eight case studies of the countries mentioned and a general assessment of the situation in the whole region, this book presents some interesting findings that will contribute to the discussions about the political representation crisis in Latin America, providing valuable resources for political leaders, researchers, policy makers and social activists in the region.
This unique collection of multidisciplinary essays explores recent developments in Paraguay over the course of the last thirty years since General Alfredo Stroessner fell from power in 1989. Stroessner’s strong authoritarian legacy continues to exert an impact on Paraguay’s political culture today, where the conservative Colorado Party continues to dominate much of the political landscape in spite of the country having transitioned into a modern democracy. The essays in Native Peoples, Politics, and Society in Contemporary Paraguay provide new understandings of how Paraguay has become more integrated into the regional economy and societies of Latin America and changed in unexpected ways. The scholarship examines how the political change impacted Paraguayans, especially its indigenous population, and how the country adapted as it emerged from authoritarian traditions. Each contribution is exemplary in the scope and depth of its understanding of Paraguay, especially its indigenous peoples, politics, women’s rights, economy, and natural environment.
Although media coverage often portrays young people in urban areas as politically apathetic or disruptive, this book provides an antidote to such views through narratives of dedicated youth civic engagement and leadership in Chicago, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro. This innovative comparative study provides nuanced accounts of the personal experiences of young people who care deeply about their communities and are actively engaged in a variety of public issues. Drawing from extensive interviews and personal narratives from the young activists themselves, Citizens in the Present presents a vibrant portrait of a new, politically involved generation.
The social scientific study of social movements remains largely shaped by categories, concepts and debates that emerged in North Atlantic societies in the late 1960s and early 1970s, namely resource mobilization, framing, collective identity, and new social movements. It is now, however, increasingly clear that we are experiencing a profound period of social transformation associated with online interactivity, informationalization and globalization. Written by leading experts from around the world, the chapters in this book explore emerging forms of movement and action not only in terms of the industrialized countries of the North Atlantic, but recognizes the importance of globalizing forms of action and culture emerging from other continents and societies. This is the first book to bring together key authors exploring this transformation in terms of action, culture and movements. It not only engages with critical transformations in the nature of collective action, but also makes a significant contribution to the globalizing of sociology.
