El Partido Demócrata Cristiano ha sido una pieza clave en la más general inserción de la política chilena en las grandes tendencias político-ideológicas que dominaron la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Durante el siglo pasado las relaciones entre adores políticos externos y chilenos se enmarcaron en el contexto de grandes procesos y disyuntivas de relevancia mundial: la Guerra Fría y la más general competencia entre proyectos sociales holísticos, la emergente preocupación por los derechos humanos, la experiencia de las transiciones post dictatoriales en Europa Meridional, entre otros. Estos actores externos Jugaron un papel muy relevante en Impulsar la estrategia política de salida do la dictadura chilena que, al converger con factores internos, tuvieron un impacto importante en determinar los lineamientos de la transición. Los adores políticos locales, como el PDC, lejos de ser piezas en manos de referentes externos, tuvieron un papel protagónico, usando sus redes internacionales para afianzar y consolidar su proyecto político. A diferencia de otros trabajos que han abordado la dimensión internacional de la transición, el foco de este libro no son los aspectos económicos, ni los ideológicos, sino más bien la centralidad política de un ador, el Partido Demócrata Cristiano, y la capacidad que éste tuvo de consolidar a nivel internacional su posición de referente para el retorno a la democracla en Chile.

El présente trabajo reconstruye la trayectoria politico-intelectual del Partido Socialista de Chile entre los anos 1932 y 1973, revisando su irrupciôn y desenvolvimiento en la vida polîtica nacional a través de momentos claves para el desarrollo de la réflexion partidaria. Como se expone en sus paginas, estos momentos frecuentemente sobrepasaron los limites de la vida partidaria, estando ligados a acontecimientos y procesos propios del desarrollo politico global, continental y nacional del siglo XX. Se argumenta que durante el periodo en cuestiôn se registraron una sérié de debates que dieron cuenta de distintas etapas en el desarrollo organizativo, social e intelectual del socialismo chileno contemporâneo. Estos debates se enmarcaron en très conceptos clave y que fueron frecuentemente discutidos durante toda la trayectoria: clase, antiimperialismo y révolution. En distintos momentos, y con significados diversos, las tendencias se definieron a si mismas y a su organizaciôn como clasista, antiimperialista y revolucionaria, sin que existiera un consenso sobre el alcance politico y programâtico de estas definiciones.

Modern dictatorships hold elections. Contrary to our stereotypical views of autocratic politics, dictators often introduce elections with limited manipulation wherein they refrain from employing blatant electoral fraud and pro-regime electoral institutions. Why do such electoral reforms happen in autocracies? Do these elections destabilize autocratic rule? The Dictator's Dilemma at the Ballot Box explores how dictators design elections and what consequences those elections have on political order. It argues that strong autocrats who can effectively garner popular support through extensive economic distribution become less dependent on coercive electioneering strategies. When autocrats fail to design elections properly, elections backfire in the form of coups, protests, and the opposition's stunning election victories. The book's theoretical implications are tested on a battery of cross-national analyses with newly collected data on autocratic elections and in-depth comparative case studies of the two Central Asian republics--Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The book's findings suggest that indicators of free and fair elections in dictatorships may not be enough to achieve full-fledged democratization.

Kann ein philosophisches Konzept dazu dienen, vergangenheitspolitische Debatten besser zu verstehen? Alexander Hasgall nähert sich dieser Frage anhand der (Nach-)Geschichte der letzten Militärdiktatur Argentiniens an. Er zeigt auf, wie den Opfern massiver Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch Anerkennung neue Formen von Subjektivität zugeschrieben werden können, zugleich aber neue Herrschaftsformen entstehen können. Die mit dem Ende der Ära Kirchner einhergehenden vergangenheitspolitischen Verwerfungen stellen dabei einen besonderen Aktualitätsbezug her. Die Studie richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler_innen als auch an Praktiker_innen, welche sich mit der Frage nach einem angemessenen Umgang mit dem Erbe von Gewaltsystemen beschäftigen. »Hasgall schliesst mit seinem Brückenschlag zwischen Philosophie und Vergangenheitspolitik eine wesentliche Forschungslücke in der deutschen Forschungslandschaft. Seine Ergebnisse ergänzen zudem neuere Erkenntnisse aus der Sozialpsychologie. Sein Werk stellt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur internationalen Transformations- und Versöhnungsforschung dar und ist nicht nur für Akademiker und Praktiker, sondern auch für politische Entscheidungsträger empfehlenswert.« Maria Palme, Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Geschichte, 69/2 (2019) Besprochen in: Handbook of latin american studies, 74 (2020), Franz Obermeier

Die Arbeit stellt die Hauptlinien der im 20. Jahrhundert in West- und Osteuropa geführten Totalitarismus-Debatten dar, um die besonderen Merkmale von Cassirers Auseinandersetzung mit demselben Phänomen des Totalitarismus zu zeigen. Der Autor konzentriert sich auf Cassirers Kulturphilosophie und politischer Philosophie im Verhältnis zu den dargestellten Debatten. So wird geklärt, welchen Gewinn Cassirers kulturanthropologisch angelegte Deutung totalitärer Herrschaft aus heutiger Sicht abwirft.
