Más de cinco años después de terminado el conflicto armado, ¿cómo se han cumplido los acuerdos de paz? ¿Cómo se cumplen en Ixcán, una de las regiones de Guatemala más heridas por la guerra, más necesitadas de desarrollo y de reconciliación? Lo ocurrido en esta región de Guatemala puede servir de medida: Hoy, Ixcán está dominado y militarizado por la todopoderosa Zona Militar 22, y su sociedad civil padece de "anemia estructural". Este ambiente debilita el papel de la autoridad civil, encarece el desarrollo socioeconómico y lo supedita al capricho de las autoridades centrales, muy cercanas a poderes militaristas paralelos.

Through the application of a rigorous methodology, the author analyzes the distribution of the vote in those areas of the country that most benefited from the federal programs against poverty, such as the Local Development Program "Micro-regions," the Program of Human Development "Opportunities," Rural Homing, Temporal Jobs & Elderly Care in Rural Areas. The author reaches a striking conclusion: there is no evidence of the political use of these social programs to benefit Calderon & damage Lopez Obrador. Adapted from the source document.

The author examines how the concept raison d'etat was conceived & shaped. Although this concept is tied up to Machiavelli's thoughts, the author shows that the florentinian thinker did not coin it such as we know & use it nowadays, & paradoxically was one of its contestants, Giovanni Botero, the first one to use this concept in an explicit manner & to analyze it in a systematic way. The essay examines critically Botero's work, an author who was formerly considered as a second line political thinker, although he has provided interesting approaches on topics such as power, governorship & religion. To conclude, the concept raison d'etat was born in the cradle layed by the historical dialectics & confrontation between Machiavelli & his impugnants. Adapted from the source document.
