Yasha Mounk (2018), one of the main scholars of this agenda, considers that in several countries the enthusiasm for democracy has decreased, and that this can be seen from the low turnout in elections or the decline in confidence in institutions. The election of Donald Trump in the USA contributed to a greater debate on democratic reversal. An example of this is the bestseller How Democracies Die (Levitsky and Ziblatt 2018), arguing that democracies would be losing quality or failing with the election of populist governments. There is no convergence between scholars. Norris (2017), for example, argues that there is no robust empirical evidence that civil and political rights have deteriorated in western democracies. The book How Democracy Ends by David Runciman – professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University – participates in this debate. Although it does not develop an open debate with the aforementioned authors (since everyone is practically writing at the same time), the book makes clear Runciman’s knowledge of the agenda in question. First published in 2018 in the UK, the work is divided into four chapters and aims to discuss what the author considers the main current threats to democracies. The main criticism that the book brings to contemporary studies on how democracy can fail is that scholars tend to see the end of democracy as a setback or a relapse. Runciman argues that history does not go back, and that is why democracy never returns to what it was before. In addition, studies generally look at experiences from the historical past as a parameter to explain what could cause the collapse of a current democracy. One of the main criticisms developed by Runciman in the book is that, although democratic institutions can maintain themselves, the expected results and guarantees may not be the","PeriodicalId":30003,"journal":{"name":"Contexto Internacional","volume":"111 1","pages":"223-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79757702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En consecuencia, se carece de un trabajo que analice los hechos que influyeron en cómo las manifestaciones y expresiones de la modernidad se concretaron tanto en la sociedad como en la arquitectura de la ciudad. Este artículo hace una revisión cronológica, entrelazando los hechos históricos del Ecuador desde lo político, lo económico y lo social, para explicar las razones de cómo se cimentaron las bases de la modernidad en la ciudad de Quito. La explicación se hace dentro de un marco de entendimiento desde las visiones de autores como Bolívar Echeverría y David Harvey, proponiendo un análisis de las particularidades históricas del país y de la ciudad. Para ello se analiza el crecimiento de la ciudad, identificando expresiones arquitectónicas representativas y evidenciando los momentos en que las bases de la modernidad se presentaron y gestaron particularidades que se manifestaron en la ciudad de Quito en respuesta a su propio modelo social, económico y político local.","PeriodicalId":30003,"journal":{"name":"Contexto Internacional","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91307139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, it presents the GCC-Mercosur agreement as a case study that illustrates the obstacles involved in the making of spaces in the Global South. The main research question addressed here is: Why has the GCC-Mercosur framework agreement failed to materialize into a meaningful economic space? This question will be answered through David Harvey’s theoretical insights and Doreen Massey’s relational approach to space, as well as post-structural geography. This article argues that the promise of increased trade and investment was the basis on which the GCC-Mercosur economic space was designed, but the narrowness of the framework agreement’s scope and the socio-political relations organized around it have not been able to sustain or strengthen this Global South space. This study employs discourse analysis as its main methodological technique, grounded on a Foucauldian understanding of the empirical properties of discursive activities. It concludes by advocating for the need to incentivize a broader engagement of civil society in the processes of Global South space making.","PeriodicalId":30003,"journal":{"name":"Contexto Internacional","volume":"43 1","pages":"9-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82606378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this two-part Forum, we reflect on the contradictory effects of Stonewall’s international legacy. Which facts or legends are celebrated and which are marginalized fifty years later? How has the sign ‘Stonewall’ come to inspire and/or sideline other resistances as the US event became appropriated globally? In this first part of the Forum, Silva and Jacobo consider how trans women of colour in the Global South have pursued the struggle of the pioneering trans women activists in New York City and engaged the history of Stonewall beyond the United States, negating the whitewashing of discourse on the riots by hegemonic cis gay men and cis lesbian women of the movement, even in their respective nations, Brazil and the Philippines. This forum contribution pays tribute to black and brown trans persons whose bodies had been thought of as monstrous in the heart of empire and elsewhere, where empire remains. The authors together aspire to think the planet from their coordinates: south by south, trans for trans. From the sisterhood they forged, these two trans women from Rio de Janeiro and Manila, imbricated in their wounds but bound together by a will to heal, theorize resistance and reexistence as women in a decolonial, transfeminist present.","PeriodicalId":30003,"journal":{"name":"Contexto Internacional","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87411754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
