This section analyzes government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in five Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and Uruguay. The articles address the pandemic's evolution and emergency policy construction in these countries, emphasizing the dynamics of cooperation and conflict between presidents, congresses, bureaucracies, and subnational governments. The articles point to factors that contributed to varying degrees of governance of the crisis, from presidential leadership to government action's structural limits. In particular, studies allow for a more exhaustive assessment of presidents' responses, ranging from presidential inaction, populist rhetoric, and politically costly decision-making. ; Esta sección analiza las respuestas gubernamentales a la pandemia de COVID-19 en cinco países de América Latina: Argentina, Brasil, Perú, México y Uruguay. Los artículos abordan la evolución de la pandemia y la construcción de políticas de emergencia en estos países, con énfasis en las dinámicas de cooperación y conflicto entre presidentes, congresos, burocracias y gobiernos subnacionales. En conjunto, los artículos apuntan a factores que contribuyeron a diversos grados de gobernanza de la crisis, desde el liderazgo presidencial hasta los límites estructurales de la acción gubernamental.

El artículo discute la relación entre género y migraciones en las investigaciones sociales en América Latina. Situaremos el giro de género en los estudios migratorios internacionales y haremos una genealogía sintética del desarrollo del enfoque transnacional de las migraciones inspirado por un conjunto de críticas feministas. Discutiremos, además, la emergencia de los estudios de los cuidados y afectos en las investigaciones sobre migración. Finalizamos con reflexiones sobre el actual contexto de luchas políticas feministas en América Latina.The article discusses the relationship between gender and migrations in the social research in Latin America. We will situate the gender shift in international migration studies and make a synthetic genealogy of the development of the transnational approach to migration, which was inspired by a set of feminist critiques. We will also discuss the emergence of studies on social care and affection in migration research. We conclude with reflections on the current context of feminist political struggles in Latin America.
We contrast the theoretical conceptions of representative democracy with the perceptions Latin American citizens have about democracy. We first analyze the theoretical conceptions of democracy and classify them as minimalist, procedural, result-driven and maximalist. We then apply those definitions to the LAPOP poll conducted in 2006 in 16 Latin American countries to associate the different theoretical conceptions to the survey questions that inquire on people's perception of democracy in Latin America. We evaluate which conceptions of democracy are more prevalent in the different countries. We analyze the relationship between economic development and economic conditions with the different conceptions of democracy included in the poll. We find the procedural conception of democracy to be more prevalent in the region. The other typologies of democracy vary according to institutional and economic conditions in each country. In countries with lower per capita GDP and more political restrictions, result-driven and maximalist typologies are more prevalent than in more developed countries. Finally, we analyze individual level data from all countries and show that people with higher income tend to favor minimalist and procedural definitions of democracy.

This book is a collection of edited theoretical essays on the power of contemporary documentary film to voice the social agency of Latin American immigrants to the United States and Europe, and to reveal some of the global systemic conditions that generate mass migrations and lead to the dehumanization of undocumented immigrants. Linking the function of documentary to represent immigrants as performing agents whose voices generally are not heard publicly, this volume also features interviews with prominent documentarians whose films and videos respond to conditions of migration from a variety of perspectives
