Chapter 1 points to the fact that forced sterilizations as a violation of human rights in Peru is part of a wider phenomenon observed in other contexts. Similarly, this thesis organizes the discussion around central elements of human rights relevant to the specific case of productive rights. The analysis is structured from a demographic perspective, considering the relationship between poverty and birth rate and patient rights. Empirical analysis focuses on the perception of upper-middle-class youth in Lima about the relationship between poverty and birth control policies.Show less

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los factores que permiten caracterizar el fenómeno de los falsos positivos como una práctica de terrorismo de Estado, haciendo énfasis en las medidas y estrategias de contrainsurgencia adoptadas desde el Estado colombiano para que estos hechos tuvieran lugar. A pesar de la considerable cantidad de producción investigativa sobre el fenómeno, una proporción importante de los análisis se aborda desde un carácter prevalentemente jurídico. Esta tesis, por lo tanto, analiza la práctica de los falsos positivos desde una mirada interdisciplinaria que integra perspectivas sociológicas, históricas y jurídicas.Show less

El enfoque del tema es la medición de la Capacidad de Estado de la República Dominicana, aplicando un modelo, fruto de la reelaboración del trabajo de Queiroz Cunha, Pereira y de Ávila Gomide (2017), al Sector Eléctrico del estado caribeño desde su privatización y capitalización en la década de los 1990. Según el modelo considerado, los aspectos que serán medidos son la Especialización, la Autonomía, y la Cohesión de las instituciones reguladoras del sector. La Especialización es la preparación y la capacidad de los miembros y funcionarios de las instituciones, que tienen que ser elegidos por ser competentes; la Autonomía es la posibilidad de las instituciones de tomar e implementar decisiones en su campo sin la influencia de los gobiernos o de los otros actores; y la Cohesión es la capacidad de las instituciones para evitar redundancias y contradicciones.Show less

This has translated over time into the incorporation of various public policies and the creation of institutions that seek to make women's issues more visible and promote gender equality. Regarding Chilean female employability, there is still a wide gap between men and women, with Chile being one of the countries with the lowest female labor participation in the Latin American region. Most studies have focused on understanding this topic, mainly from the perspective of analyzing human capital and the characteristics of the labor market. However, in the last decades, theoretical work began to be produced that considered the cultural factor of this phenomenon. Thus, issues related to the type of society in which they live are considered relevant, contributing to the understanding of the employability patterns of women, especially those who are mothers. Where it is considered that the country context is rooted in traditional culture and has not yet managed to depose current social inequalities. Therefore, motherhood plays an important role when making decisions regarding female employability.Show less

Este intervalo temporal coincide, por un lado, con el principio de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet y, por el otro, con el estallido social de octubre del año pasado que perturbó un país que, hasta unas semanas antes, se solía definir como ""un oasis de paz"" en un continente inquieto como América Latina. Para ello, se analizan factores como un sector manufacturero debilitado y la relación de fuerzas entre grandes conglomerados industriales y PYMEs. Asimismo, se considera la excesiva dependencia de Chile de las exportaciones de recursos naturales - sobre todo cobre - y otras mercancías con muy poco valor añadido a la luz de su elaborado marco de tratados de libre comercio: a tal propósito, se observa como se decidió privilegiar la explotación de las ventajas comparativas del país y la influencia del sector exportador sobre estas políticas. Lo anterior significó que un amplio y duradero desarrollo económico se fue debilitando y que Chile nunca ingresó la liga de los países completamente industrializados. Para esta tesis, se llevó a cabo un trabajo de campo en Santiago de Chile entre noviembre 2019 y febrero 2020. // ENG: Two variables - the neoliberal economic model and Chile's international political relations - move this investigation around the country's foreign trade policies between 1973 and 2019. Provided time interval coincides, on the one hand, with the beginning of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship and, on the other, with the outbreak of large-scale social protests which, in October last year, shook a country defined, until a few weeks earlier, as ""an oasis of peace"" in the eventful Latin America. Factors such as a weakened manufacturing sector, and the unbalanced relationship between large industrial groups (conglomerados) and local SMEs are addressed. Moreover, the flattening of economic development on exports of raw materials - copper in particular - and other products with no particular relevant added value is seen in the light of the establishment of a massive network of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements whose main aims have been exploiting Chile's comparative advantages and pleasing outward-looking economic sectors. As a result, a large-scale and long-term economic progress was undermined making the country unable to join the league of those fully developed. For such thesis, a fieldwork research was conducted in Santiago de Chile between November 2019 and February 2020.Show less

The roles of states of both Venezuela as the emigrant state and Colombia as the receiving state will be analyzed by viewing the policies put in place by both states. Concepts such as transnationalism, border cities and labor markets will be used to explain the migration networks that are created in between Colombia and Venezuela and assess how Venezuelans who are forced out of their country are received in a neighboring country such as Colombia. This investigation will also show how the policies and initiatives set forth by Colombia have eased the arrival of Venezuelans, but also point out how job integration into the formal sector has not been possible with the deepening of the crisis. This investigation's findings will be supported by the fieldwork carried out in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia through the gathering of information through personal interviews, government archives and non-governmental data.Show less
