Asalariados De La Muerte. Sicariato Y Criminalidad En Colombia., Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
El sicariato es un recurso utilizado en el desarrollo de conflictos sociales desde el ámbito público estatal hasta el privado íntimo. En este artículo hacemos un recorrido de los últimos 30 años en la historia de Colombia, para estudiar la manera como se relaciona con diferentes actores y procesos, como los del narcotráfico y el paramilitarismo, describiendo la trayectoria de los sicarios, modus operandi, niveles de organización, móviles de los contratantes y tarifas. De igual manera abordamos la relación y la reacción del Estado ante el sicariato, con políticas de justicia, seguridad y rehabilitación.
Territorio, Gestión Local Y Conflicto En El Municipio De El Tambo, Alexander Montoya Prada
Territorio, Gestión Local Y Conflicto En El Municipio De El Tambo, Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
La influencia de guerrillas, paramilitares y mafias ha crecido en años recientes, afectando la gestión pública local y nacional, el diseño de políticas públicas y el manejo de los recursos. La comprensión de este proceso requiere de estudios de caso como el que presentamos del municipio de El Tambo en el departamento del Cauca. Aquí se analiza el impacto que los actores armados generan en la satisfacción plena de los derechos civiles, políticos y sociales de los ciudadanos. Queremos conocer cuáles son los actores que hacen presencia, sus motivaciones para incidir en la institucionalidad pública local, su relación con las …
Las Otras Caras Del Poder. Territorio, Conflicto Y Gestión Pública En Municipios Colombianos, Fabio Enrique Velásquez Carrillo
Las Otras Caras Del Poder. Territorio, Conflicto Y Gestión Pública En Municipios Colombianos, Fabio Enrique Velásquez Carrillo
Alexander Montoya Prada
La influencia de los actores armados ilegales en la gestión municipal es hoy un hecho que muy pocos se atreven a controvertir. Ya en la segunda mitad de la década pasada algunos estudios reconocieron la importancia que el territorio tenía para los actores armados en el contexto del conflicto. Sin embargo, no existen estudios que examinen de modo sistemático la influencia de los actores armados en el manejo de los asuntos públicos municaples y los efectos de dicha influencia sobre la vida de quienes habitan los territorios. Tal es el propósito de este libro. El análisis sugiere que existe en …
Liberalism, Tolerance And Multiculturalism: The Bounds Of Liberal Intervention In Affairs Of Minority Cultures, Raphael Cohen-Almagor, Marco Zambotti
Liberalism, Tolerance And Multiculturalism: The Bounds Of Liberal Intervention In Affairs Of Minority Cultures, Raphael Cohen-Almagor, Marco Zambotti
raphael cohen-almagor
One of the most pressing issues facing liberal democracies today is the politicization of ethno-cultural diversity. Minority cultures are demanding greater public recognition of their distinctive identities, and greater freedom and opportunity to retain and develop their distinctive cultural practices. In response to these demands, new and creative mechanisms are being adopted in many countries for accommodating difference. This paper discusses some of the issues raised by these demands, focusing in particular on the difficulties that arise when the minority seeking accommodation is illiberal. It is increasingly accepted that common citizenship rights are not sufficient to accommodate all forms of …
Diabolical Frivolity Of Neoliberal Fundamentalism, Sefik Tatlic
Diabolical Frivolity Of Neoliberal Fundamentalism, Sefik Tatlic
Sefik Tatlic
Today, we cannot talk just about plain control, but we must talk about the nature of the interaction of the one who is being controlled and the one who controls, an interaction where the one that is “controlled” is asking for more control over himself/herself while expecting to be compensated by a surplus of freedom to satisfy trivial needs and wishes. Such a liberty for the fulfillment of trivial needs is being declared as freedom. But this implies as well the freedom to choose not to be engaged in any kind of socially sensible or politically articulated struggle.
Hamas Controlled Televised News Media: Counter- Peace, Allen Gnanam
Hamas Controlled Televised News Media: Counter- Peace, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
The hegemonic force of Hamas censored televised news media in Gaza, can not be fully comprehended and appreciated without recognizing the role of propaganda, censorship, and the historical context of the middle east. These 3 interrelated dimensions will be analyzed using functionalism, the mass society theory, the dominant ideology framework, the critical criminology framework, and the symbolic interactionist framework. Through censorship, Hamas news media outlets were able to unilaterally inject culturally relevant propaganda, into the minds of children and citizens. The hypodermic syringe model can be applied to the state controlled news media situation in Gaza, as the people of …
Non Nation Destabilizing Eradication Of Opium Cultivation In Afghanistan: A History Backed Analysis, Allen Gnanam
Non Nation Destabilizing Eradication Of Opium Cultivation In Afghanistan: A History Backed Analysis, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
A successful and non nation destabilizing eradication of opium cultivation in Afghanistan, is contingent upon the mandatory countering of interconnected (a) economic obstacles, (b) sociocultural obstacles, and (c) political obstacles that are fueling and maintaining the illegal production and trade of heroin. This paper will explore and analyze the above mentioned interconnected obstacles, in order to present the complex issues that need to be addressed when it comes to dismantling the illegal opium bastion in Afghanistan. At a macro- level Foucault’s triangular model that identifies the interconnectivity between the government, the population, and the political economy (1978) will be utilized …

Ban Opitc Private Security Goverance: Exceptionalism, Spatial Sorting And Risk Assessments, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
This paper is theoretically grounded on the Ban opticon framework that is characterized by the use of exceptionalism, the normalization of imperative movement, and profiling for insecurity management purposes (Bigo, 2005). This framework will be utilized in order to expose and analyze the Ban optic governmentality of the private security industry. Secondly, the overall discussion and analysis of the private security industry- Ban opticon nexus will be discussed with specific reference to the private security operations of The New Commons. Thirdly, three private security intelligence networks identified by Lippert & O’Connor (2006) namely Disciplinary Networks, Private Justice Networks, and Multilateral …
