Discriminación étnico-racial y xenofobia en América Latina y el Caribe
Author: Martín Hopenhayn
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789213218495
Category : Caribbean Area
Languages : es
Pages : 68
Book Description
La importancia de categorías y conceptos como raza y etnicidad reside en que a través de la historia y hasta nuestros días, rasgos físicos y biológicos como el color de piel, el grupo de sangre o, de otro lado, la cultura a la cual se pertenece, son causa de desigualdad, discriminación y dominación de un grupo que se auto define como superior o con mejores y más legítimos derechos que aquellos a los que se desvaloriza y excluye. Junto con género y clase, raza y etnicidad general verdaderos sistemas y mecanismos culturales, sociales e incluso institucionales de dominación a través de los cuales se impide el acceso equitativo de grandes grupos humanos a los frutos del desarrollo económico.

Inclusive States
Author: Anis A. Dani
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821370006
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
The heterogeneity of social structures and cultural identities in many developing countries, together with traditional hierarchies, rivalries, and deep-seated biases, has perpetuated inequities. Inclusive States: Social Policy and Structural Inequalities examines the role of the state and society in addressing structural inequalities and identifies a set of policy recommendations to redress them. This book defines structural inequality as a condition arising from unequal status attributed to a category of people in relation to others, a relationship perpetuated and reinforced by unequal relations in roles, functions, decision rights, and opportunities. Inclusive states are those that direct policies to address the needs of all, that respect the rights of citizens to exercise voice and influence on which services are provided and how they are delivered, and that have an interest in strengthening the social contract with their citizens. A central focus of policy remains a concern for equity, both to level the playing field to encourage social mobility and to ensure equity in the distributional effects of policy reforms and development interventions. This book highlights two key challenges for social policy. First, policy design needs to take into account the weaknesses of basic state functions in many developing countries, since these have important ramifications for social policy outcomes. Second, in most developing countries social structures marked by historically rooted structural inequalities pose significant challenges to the provision of services and require a long-term commitment to address underlying questions and problems. This book describes some of the challenges found in different contexts and some of the ways in which these challenges can be and are being addressed. This book is part of a new series, New Frontiers in Social Policy, which examines issues and approaches to extend the boundaries of social policy beyond conventional social services toward policies and institutions that improve equality of opportunity and social justice in developing countries. Other forthcoming titles in the series include Assets, Livelihoods, and Social Policy, and Institutional Pathways to Equity: Addressing Inequality Traps.

Social Inclusion and Economic Development in Latin America
Author: Mayra Buvinić
Publisher: IDB
ISBN: 1931003653
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Poverty and inequality in Latin America are easily recognizable in the faces of women, Afro-descendents, the indigenous, people with disabilities, victims of HIV/AIDS, and other groups outside the societal mainstream. Social Inclusion and Economic Development in Latin America reviews the common features of these excluded populations, including their invisibility in official statistics and the stigma, discrimination, and disadvantages they have long endured. But it also examines the region's inclusionary policies and programs that can improve access by these groups to the quality social services and economic and political resources these groups need to level the playing field. Case studies examine ethnic and racial political organization, gender quotas, and labor markets across the region, and social exclusion in Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Comparative studies summarize social inclusion policies of both the European Union and selected countries on the Continent.

The Oxford Handbook of Constitutional Law in Latin America
Author: Conrado Hübner Mendes
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198786905
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 970
Book Description
Constitutional law in Latin America embodies a mosaic of national histories, political experiments, and institutional transitions. No matter how distinctive these histories and transitions might be, there are still commonalities that transcend the mere geographical contiguity of these countries. This Handbook depicts the constitutional landscape of Latin America by shedding light on its most important differences and affinities, qualities and drawbacks, and by assessing its overall standing in the global enterprise of democratic constitutionalism. It engages with substantive and methodological conundrums of comparative constitutional law in the region, drawing meaningful comparisons between constitutional traditions. The volume is divided into two main parts. Part I focuses on exploring the constitutions for seventeen jurisdictions, offering a comprehensive country-by-country critique of the historical foundations, institutional architecture, and rights-based substantive identity of each constitution. Part II presents comparative analyses on the most controversial constitutional topics of the region, exploring central concepts in institutions and rights. The Oxford Handbook of Constitutional Law in Latin America is an essential resource for scholars and students of comparative constitutional law, and Latin American politics and history Written by leading experts, it comprehensively examines constitutions, controversies, institutions, and constitutional rights in Latin America.
