Although the military has historically played a pivotal role in Latin American politics and society, until now little attention has been paid to the complex set of civilian-military relations in each country. This collection of essays, the product of a long-term research program organized by a group of prominent Latin American scholars, compares current linkages among the armed forces and local social and political structures and institutions. Within each nation studied, the contributing author found increasing military autonomy vis-a-vis the state. They show that this institutional autonomy has allowed the military to develop as independent political entities within the various countries, a process that seems to be common to all Latin American societies. Their research also demonstrates how the military diversifies itself when acquiring higher degrees of institutional autonomy.Collectively, the contributors contend that although civilian democratic forces will play a much larger role in political decisionmaking in this decade as compared to the last, it is evident that armed forces will retain a considerable share of political power. Regardless of the institutional arrangement, the military will continue to exercise significant veto power over civilian political forces. The independent military that has emerged is a new variable that must be taken into account in future analyses of Latin America's secular political crisis. By compiling the first complete analysis of Latin American military forces and their role in contemporary domestic politics, editor Augusto Varas has made a significant contribution to the study of Latin American politics. This first examination of the role of the armed forces during a period of relative political stability will be welcomed by historians and political scientists alike.

Military conflicts and dictatorships in Latin America are the main consequences of the increasingly autonomous role of the armed forces in the region, asserts noted scholar Augusto Varas, and international factors related to the expansion of weapon industries in the North and the increasing flow of financial resources to Latin America are accelerating the arms race. Varas discusses the historical function of the armed forces in local politics, the new ideology of the "national security doctrine," and the process of conflict perception by the Latin American military. He also analyzes the inevitable relations between the arms race and the political role of the region's armed institutions. Using Chile as an example, he places these factors in context and illustrates how political crisis can escalate into a regional arms race. He then concludes with a discussion of the links between prospects for democracy in the region and demilitarization and disarmament.

Este libro contribuye a profundizar el actual debate sobre el rol y alcances de la acción afirmativa como mecanismo de política pública al servicio de sociedades más inclusivas y democracias efectivas.Confiamos en que servirá para ampliar el conocimiento de las bases conceptuales de las acciones afirmativas y de sus características específicas, de manera de ir más allá del consenso político hoy existente en torno a la superación de la desigualdad. El cambio cultural ocurrido a este respecto debe abrir nuevas perspectivas para la adopción de políticas de acción afirmativa, en tanto mecanismos estratégicos aptos para revertir la discriminación, la marginalidad y la exclusión que caracterizan a Chile.

El tema central que organiza este libro es el rol de lasemociones generadas en los últimos dos procesos cons-titucionales. Aún cuando sus formas y contenidos fuerondiametralmente opuestos se argumenta que el miedo,entendido como "perturbación angustiosa del ánimo,recelo o aprensión por un riesgo o daño real o imaginarioque alguien tiene de que le suceda algo contrario a lo quedesea", jugó un importante papel tanto en la formulacióncomo en los rechazos de ambas propuestas constitucio-nales. Así, estas se constituyeron de hecho en domos deprotección constitucional ante miedos transgeneracionales.Desde esta perspectiva se analizan y comparan los proyec-tos de nueva constitución elaborados por la ConvenciónConstitucional y el Consejo Constitucional, y se proyectanposibles escenarios a partir de estas experiencias.

Este volumen analiza temas políticos nacionales e internacionales ocurridos en el amplio margen de la última década, los que convergen apuntando hacia la multifacética temática del poder.La primera parte abarca materias de política nacional que siguen vigentes, entre otras: las reformas constitucionales; las dificultades para imponer el orden público; el debate sobre los cambios culturales del último tiempo; las confrontaciones al interior de las diversas alianzas políticas; y la difícil relación partidos políticos-ciudadanía.La segunda y tercera están centradas en las FF.AA. La segunda incluye el marco interpretativo de su estudio en el Estado latinoamericano; así como el proceso histórico de la relación entre militares y política en Chile; y el análisis en profundidad de la noción de seguridad nacional vigente en el país.En la tercera se analizan las dos propuestas constitucionales sobre la función y roles de las FF.AA.; se ejemplifica su autonomía corporativa; la errónea ampliación de los roles castrenses hacia funciones civiles; y se comparan los programas presidenciales del centro e izquierda sobre estas, además de otros aspectos relevantes al respecto.Se finaliza reflexionando sobre escenarios internacionales relevantes para Chile como: la propuesta de Zona de Paz; algunos elementos de una política exterior de Estado y los vicios del neosoberanismo; consideraciones sobre Estados Unidos, Brasil y Cuba; y una heterodoxa postura sobre la mediterraneidad boliviana.Las materias analizadas en este volumen seguirán activas en el debate nacional durante lo que resta de esta década y constituyen un aporte analítico a este proceso deliberativo.
