En un momento como el actual, en el que los políticos centran la atención de los ciudadanos, nuestra sociedad, decepcionada con los máximos representantes de la democracia española y los candidatos a serlo, demanda más y mejor liderazgo político. Pero ¿cómo podemos evaluar los éxitos y fracasos de los presidentes españoles? ¿Qué factores han influido más en su mandato: su personalidad o la oportunidad y el contexto? Con objetividad académica y estilo cercano, José Luis Álvarez explica el auge y la trayectoria de los presidentes Adolfo Suárez, Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, Felipe González, José María Aznar, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Mariano Rajoy y Pedro Sánchez y otras cuestiones que hoy se revelan vitales por el impacto que han tenido en la ciudadanía. ¿Cuánto ansían el poder y qué precio están dispuestos a pagar? ¿Son nuestros políticos visionarios o gestores? ¿Cuál es su estilo de toma de decisiones? ¿De qué colaboradores se rodean? ¿Quieren y pueden transformar el país? Los presidentes españoles es un libro de lectura imprescindible en el que encontrarás todas las herramientas que te permitirán evaluar el liderazgo predidencual en particular y político en general. Además la obra dedica especial atención al aprendizaje mutuo entre el liderazgo presidencial y el liderazgo empresarial.

In this paper we use surveyed data to understand Bolsonaro's electorate and, in doing so, we discuss significant interpretations about the conditions to the rise of populist politicians. In the first section, we present and discuss macro interpretations that resort either to socioeconomic or political culture processes in order to explain populism. In the second part, we describe, briefly, Jair Bolsonaro's political career and show why he is an authentic member of the populist family. In the third and fourth sections, we present survey data on Bolsonaro's voters, their socioeconomic features, and their beliefs regarding political regimes and democratic institutions, and contending moral issues. We argue that data show that the president social bases are not those the current literature relates to populist leaders and that their attitudes towards politics and moral issues do not differ significantly from those found among supporters of other candidates running for the presidency in 2018. In the conclusions, we suggest some alternative explanations to Bolsonaro's unexpected electoral success. ; En este artículo utilizamos datos de encuestas para comprender el electorado de Bolsonaro y, al hacerlo, discutimos interpretaciones significativas sobre las condiciones del surgimiento de los políticos populistas. En la primera sección, presentamos y discutimos interpretaciones macro que recurren a procesos de cultura política o socioeconómica para explicar el populismo. En la segunda parte, describimos brevemente la carrera política de Jair Bolsonaro y mostramos por qué es un miembro auténtico de la familia populista. En las secciones tercera y cuarta, presentamos datos de encuestas sobre los votantes de Bolsonaro, sus características socioeconómicas y sus creencias con respecto a los regímenes políticos y las instituciones democráticas, y las cuestiones morales en conflicto. Argumentamos que los datos muestran que las bases sociales del presidente no son las que la literatura actual relaciona con los líderes populistas y que sus actitudes hacia la política y las cuestiones morales no difieren significativamente de las que se encuentran entre los partidarios de otros candidatos que se postulan para la presidencia en 2018. conclusiones, sugerimos algunas explicaciones alternativas al inesperado éxito electoral de Bolsonaro.
This article analyzes the authority and power of the president and emphasizes his role as head of the government, neglected by the scholars of presidentialism. It is developed around the thesis that the president in Chile is less powerful of what the dominant vision of constitutionalists and politicians poses, which considers that the Chilean presidentialism is characterized by having a strong agent, with broad powers to influence the political process. ; Este artículo analiza la autoridad y el poder del presidente y pone énfasis en su función de jefe de gobierno, desatendida por los estudiosos del presidencialismo. Se desarrolla en torno a la tesis que el presidente en Chile es menos poderoso de lo que plantea la visión dominante de constitucionalistas y politólogos, que considera que el presidencialismo chileno se caracteriza por tener por un mandatario fuerte, dotado de amplias atribuciones para influir en el proceso político.
In response to a lawsuit by the ACLU under the Freedom of Information Act, the Obama administration released several memos by the Office of Legal Counsel of the Justice Department between the years 2002-2005 that gave the green light for "harsh interrogation techniques" of detainees in the fight against terrorism, the euphemism du jour for the use of torture.Although from the beginning the Justice Department under present Attorney General Eric Holder assured that CIA officials would not be prosecuted for following orders, the lawyers in the OLC are under investigation and could be prosecuted for their recommendations to the Bush White House. When asked if members of the Bush administration may also be prosecuted for making the final decisions to use those procedures, Obama said a week ago that this was a time for "Reflection, not Retribution," thus implying that he would protect the disclosure from politicization. He might as well have called for immediate peace in the Middle East. The huge public outcry from both sides of the political spectrum was instantaneous, with Cheney accusing the President for jeopardizing national security, and human rights and other groups calling for an on-the-spot decision to prosecute former White House authorities for war crimes. In a visit to CIA headquarters at Langley on Monday, Obama tried to personally reassure CIA officers that they won't be prosecuted for carrying out orders and explained, in very rational terms as is his custom, his decision to release those memos and put an end to those practices:"Now, in that context I know that the last few days have been difficult. As I made clear in releasing the OLC memos -- as a consequence of a court case that was pending and to which it was very difficult for us to mount an effective legal defense -- I acted primarily because of the exceptional circumstances that surrounded these memos; particularly the fact that so much of the information was public, had been publicly acknowledged, the covert nature of the information had been compromised.I have fought to protect the integrity of classified information in the past, and I will do so in the future. And there is nothing more important than protecting the identities of CIA officers. So I need everybody to be clear: We will protect your identities and your security as you vigorously pursue your missions. I will be as vigorous in protecting you as you are vigorous in protecting the American people.Now, I have put an end to the interrogation techniques described in those OLC memos, and I want to be very clear and very blunt. I've done so for a simple reason: because I believe that our nation is stronger and more secure when we deploy the full measure of both our power and the power of our values –- including the rule of law. I know I can count on you to do exactly that."As more information trickles in, it is becoming clear there were deep internal divisions and intense infighting within the Obama White House over whether to disclose the information or not. But now that it is out, pressure is mounting for Obama to allow the appropriate institutions to deal with the issue and for the rule of law to be applied. At present, there are two courses of action being considered: for Congress to establish an independent bipartisan commission or for the Attorney-General to appoint a special prosecutor.An independent commission would be similar to the 9-11 one: it would conduct public hearings and issue a report. This is the less confrontational, more conciliatory approach, similar to the "Truth and Reconciliation Commissions" in other countries, and one that would not lead to criminal prosecutions. It is being advocated by moderates who do not want to shut out the past, but would like to move on with the new agenda. It is more in line with President Obama's dictum of "reflection, not retribution." But this is a very fluid situation and he now seems to be leaning toward the second option.The other possibility is for the Attorney General to designate a Special Prosecutor, a neutral, well-respected person to investigate suspected crimes by high ranking officials. This is the option preferred by those who insist that Truth and Reconciliation commissions are acceptable for those countries that are still in the stage of nation-building. But in the United States, there are strong institutions that can enforce the laws, and there is nothing to "reconcile". A Special Prosecutor would let the investigation go where the evidence leads it. He or she would uphold the rule of law and prosecute those responsible, according to evidence of crimes committed. In contradiction with President Obama's judgment, Jonathan Turley, Professor of Constitutional Law at George Washington Law School observes that "that would not be retribution, it would be justice."The problem for the President is that he cannot have it both ways, first authorizing a full disclosure of CIA harsh interrogation methods and then refusing to let justice take its course. Or worse yet, allowing half measures such as the prosecution of attorneys who gave the legal advise to proceed with the practices (perhaps on pre-ordained decisions from the White House), and not holding responsible the higher authorities who gave the final order. The use of torture in pursuit of national security by the US government is a grey legal and emotional area that this country has still not been able to figure out. The goal posts have constantly been moved depending on perceived fears, and the post 9-11 state of mind was conducive to excesses in proportion to the horrific event itself, as well as to its effect on the American psyche. The Bush White House, with its natural penchant for aggressive action, was moving into unchartered waters in a war against non-state actors, so it used this grey legal area to its full advantage. Having been asked by the White House whether these methods were lawful, lawyers in the OLC explicitly recognized in one of these memos that the techniques they were endorsing were the ones the United States condemned other countries for using. This obvious moral double standard notwithstanding, they explicitly stated that "the standards we impose on others do not bind us in any way…however…given the paucity of relevant precedent…we cannot predict with confidence whether a court would agree with his conclusion." This conclusion was informed by a blatantly narrow interpretation of both international and national laws, but was wholly embraced by the White House, in spite of a dissenting view by Condoleezza Rice and others at the State Department. At almost a hundred days into his presidency, Barack Obama is finding out that that no decisions can be taken "outside politics" and that the center of the political spectrum is an uncomfortable and lonely place to be. No president is an island and his hand will be forced in one direction or the other. By trying to square the circle between values and national security so early into his first term, the President is putting the tombstone on bipartisanship for good.

"The documentary is a part of the film industry. It is a cinematographic genre", states the recognized Dominican film critic, René Fortunato, when frequently asked about his line of work. His most recent production, the documentary Bosch: President in the Imperial Frontier renders homage to the first president elected democratically by the Dominican people after the fall of Trujillo. "Juan Bosch must be part of the historical, ethical, and moral heritage of the Dominican Nation. And he is treated as such in this documentary", confesses its creator. ; "El documental es cine. Es un género cinematográfico", dice el reconocido cineasta dominicano René Fortunato, al contestar preguntas frecuentes que se le hacen en torno a su trabajo y su trayectoria. Su más reciente producción, el documental Bosch: presidente en la frontera imperial, es un homenaje al primer presidente elegido democráticamente por el pueblo dominicano tras la caída de Trujillo. "Juan Bosch debe ser patrimonio histórico, ético y moral de la Nación Dominicana. Y como tal, está tratado en este documental", confiesa su realizador.
Este artículo busca revelar la lógica estructural detrás de los desembolsos masivos en sistemas militares y centros de comando que Estados Unidos ha posicionado alrededor de casi todo el globo. Para afi rmar el rol vital que el poder militar implica, no hay que poner en duda el papel estratégico de la diplomacia o "poder suave", ni menospreciar el signifi cado vital de crear políticas económicas internacionales. Por el contrario, el propósito es reconceptualizar el papel del poder militar, colocándolo al menos en un nivel equivalente al de las otras dos formas de poder internacional comúnmente reconocidas y estudiadas: diplomacia y economía.
Se estudian discursos del presidente Lula sobre la crisis económica de 2008, describiéndose estrategias discursivas a través de las cuales ciertas dimensiones del discurso económico son transformadas por operaciones enunciativas para explicar la crisis. El presidente utiliza, con ese fin, operadores del lenguaje coloquial (metáforas, figuras de lenguaje) y construcciones discursivas asociadas a su biografía y al "mundo de la vida" de interlocutores más próximos a su experiencia lingüística y cultural. Esta modalidad discursiva busca restaurar algo que los economistas y los mercados fallaron en instaurar o "erraron mucho" al intentar hacerlo: la noción de confianza. ; Speeches by President Lula about the economic crisis of 2008 are studied, describing the discursive strategies through which dimensions of economic discourse are transformed by enunciative operations to explain the crisis. The president makes use of operators of colloquial language (metaphors, figures of speech and discursive constructions associated with his biography) and with the "world of life" of partners close to his cultural and linguistic experience. This discursive mode aims to restore something that economists and the markets have failed or far missed: the notion of trust. ; Fil: Neto, Antonio Fausto. UNISINOS; Brasil

El estudio de la retórica política empleada por Clinton durante sus dos mandatos en la Casa Blanca, ofrece un panorama plural y sugerente de las expectativas que genera entre sus ciudadanos el sistema político de Estados Unidos, así como de las funciones simbólicas e institucionales que debe asumir el Presidente. Patriotismo, democracia, prosperidad, son valores arraigados en la psicología popular que Clinton utilizó para desarrollar su propio mensaje político.
