The main argument of this paper is that such elimination of intermediaries in providing subsidies has contributed to reducing clientelism by functionaries and farmer organizations. However, in 2019 both programs were characterized by deficiencies. Sembrando Vida required farmers to comply with requirements that were not appropriate considering their agricultural systems; excluded farmers with less than 2.5 hectares; and lacked marketing strategies. Meanwhile, Producción para el Bienestar involved many implementation problems and failed to provide funding on time. Este trabajo analiza la implementación de Sembrando Vida y Producción para el Bienestar, los principales programas rurales del gobierno de López Obrador, prestando especial atención a la exclusión de las organizaciones campesinas en la entrega de subsidios agrícolas. El argumento central es que la eliminación de intermediarios en la distribución de los subsidios ha contribuido a reducir el clientelismo tanto por parte de los funcionarios como de las organizaciones campesinas. Sin embargo, en 2019 ambos programas presentaron deficiencias. Sembrando Vida exigía a los campesinos cumplir con requisitos poco adecuados para sus sistemas agrícolas, excluía a quienes tenían menos de 2.5 hectáreas y carecía de estrategias de comercialización. Por su parte, Producción para el Bienestar enfrentó numerosos problemas de implementación y no entregó los recursos a tiempo.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the country continues to be rife with violence, discrimination, and exclusion. Although the Peace Agreement’s state of implementation has been subject to academic debates, a critical discussion of the document has been missing. To address this gap, the article explores the document’s diverse political and economic functions, and demonstrates that it acts as a “smokescreen” allowing for (re)production of colonial continuities, especially in relation to the political participation of Black communities. The analysis is informed by interviews with social leaders involved in peace negotiations and activists from the Colombian Pacific. The above offers a novel approach, indicating that peacebuilding is “not only” about peace and conflict, as it provides opportunities for engagement with broader questions regarding the nature of the political community. Se esperaba que el Acuerdo de Paz colombiano de 2016 pusiera fin a más de cincuenta años de conflicto armado y construyera una paz sostenible. Sin embargo, el país continúa plagado de violencia, discriminación y exclusión. Aunque el estado de implementación del Acuerdo de Paz ha sido objeto de debates académicos, ha faltado una discusión crítica del documento. Para abordar esta brecha, el artículo explora las diversas funciones políticas y económicas del acuerdo, y demuestra que actúa como una “cortina de humo” que permite la (re)producción de continuidades coloniales, especialmente con respecto a la participación política de las comunidades negras. El análisis se basa en entrevistas con líderes sociales involucrados en las negociaciones de paz y activistas del Pacífico colombiano. A través de esto, se ofrece un enfoque novedoso, que indica que la construcción de paz “no se trata sólo” de paz y conflicto, sino que brinda oportunidades para abordar cuestiones más amplias sobre la naturaleza de la comunidad política.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper puts forth the central argument that Dread culture signifies a resistive memory aesthetic that define the people’s experiences with the Grenada Revolution. It locates organic, nostalgic, and uncomfortable memories that permit access to the revolutionary self through textual aesthetics and memory texts. These memory texts convey diverse meanings of the people’s revolutionary experiences, contradictions, and eruptions of identity and re-memory forty years after the Grenada Revolution. Este artículo examina la cultura Dread que surgió durante y después de la Revolución de Granada, a través del análisis de una canción pro-revolucionaria y una inscripción conmemorativa, con el fin de evaluar cómo distintas memorias rememoran dicho acontecimiento. El artículo sostiene como argumento central que la cultura Dread representa una estética de la memoria resistente que define las experiencias del pueblo con respecto a la Revolución de Granada. Identifica memorias orgánicas, nostálgicas e incómodas que permiten el acceso al yo revolucionario mediante estéticas textuales y textos de memoria.

Prominent features of enclave economies include the use of physical coercion and the submission of the nation-state to extraterritorial powers, facilitated by local elites lacking development projects of their own. This theoretical concept continues to be useful in both understanding current processes and avoiding their reproduction in emerging contexts. El trabajo busca contribuir a la discusión sobre teorías del desarrollo y más específicamente acerca del agro extractivismo, mirando desde el Sur Global, en base a una breve revisión histórica y actual de formas de conexión con los mercados internacionales que se dieron y se dan hoy en el Paraguay. Este tipo de conexión fue caracterizado en la teoría de la dependencia como economías de enclave; el concepto connota una forma de explotación de recursos naturales sin vínculos, o con vínculos muy débiles con las economías nacionales. Se destacan el uso de coerción física y la sumisión del Estado nacional a poderes extraterritoriales, facilitada por su captura por élites locales carentes de un proyecto de desarrollo propio. La categoría sigue siendo útil para la comprensión de procesos actuales y para evitar su reproducción en contextos emergentes.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes the factors that made the Paraguayan Chaco an attractive location for capitalist expansion as well as the historical characteristics of this passage of land into foreign hands. The major findings demonstrate that this movement of capital is due to the Chaco’s situation as a commodities frontier area with policies favorable to foreign investment in Paraguay, making it a haven for foreign capital. En las primeras décadas del siglo XXI el Chaco paraguayo atravesó profundas transformaciones sociales, productivas y ecológicas con la expansión de inversores que, deforestación mediante, expandieron la frontera agropecuaria para la producción de ganado y granos. Este artículo analiza qué motivos volvieron al Chaco paraguayo un destino atractivo para la expansión capitalista y qué particularidades históricas tiene este proceso de extranjerización de la tierra.
