Can poverty be funny? The serious use of humour as a strategy of public engagement for global justice
This article examines the use of humour as a strategy to promote increased public engagement in the countries of the global North with issues of global justice. The central argument of the article is that humour can be both an ethical and an effective way of attracting and sustaining public engagement in struggles for global justice. There are risks and limits to the use of humour to represent issues of poverty and injustice but, given low levels…
Bolivia's Contentious Politics of 'Normas y Procedimientos Propios
Bolivia’s Constitution recognizes the right of indigenous peoples to govern themselves in accordance with their own ‘norms and procedures.’ This article examines the conflicts over the interpretation of local history, culture, and identity that have emerged within indigenous municipalities engaged in the autonomy process as they seek to define their ‘norms and procedures’ and to translate them into the design of institutions of self-governance. T…

Struggles for the control of rural municipal governments have become an important new element of indigenous and peasant political activism throughout the Andean region.

The widespread prioritisation of small-scale infrastructure p…

As municipal governments in Latin America acquire greater responsibility for public goods and services and the promotion of economic and social development, and play a greater role in local citizenship, questions about the quality of municipal democracy also need to be taken much more seriously. This article proposes a 'relative power approach' that examines the distribution of social power at the microregional level and its impact on municipal g…
The World Bank and the New Institutional Economics: Contradictions and Implications for Development Policy in Latin America
In the course of the 1990s, the policy prescriptions of the World Bank for developing countries have shifted from the neoliberal emphasis on a minimal state, symbolized by the Washington Consensus, to a perspective that emphasizes a much more active and efficient state. Through the 1980s and early 1990s, the World Bank encouraged trade and investment liberalization, domestic market deregulation, fiscal discipline, and a reduction in both the size…
