Advocating for Physical Education and Extracurricular Opportunities for Students With Disabilities
Physical educators, including adapted physical educators, are often called upon to advocate for their students with disabilities, their physical education programs, or themselves to affect change in practice or a student’s Individualized Education Program. These advocacy efforts are most effective when physical educators are knowledgeable about educational policies and legislative mandates, and how they can be applied to individual situations. Th…

Fighting Tax Evasion in Latin America: The contrasting strategies of Chile and Argentina
In the 1990s both Chile and Argentina embarked on efforts to tackle tax evasion. The strategies they pursued differed substantively: Argentina followed a coercive approach that created an elite audit team endowed with special legal powers, while Chile undertook a less spectacular service-oriented approach that improved the fiscal pact between state and society and enacted tax administration reform. Chile succeeded in permanently lowering tax evas…

Party Non-Systems: A Conceptual Innovation
This article makes a case for expansion of the conceptual framework for the classification of party universe types. In particular, it introduces the concept of ‘party non-systems’, defined as those party universes characterized by a fundamental absence of inter-temporal continuity in the identity of the main parties. At the heart of this concept is the explicit differentiation between intra- and extra-systemic volatility. Party non-systems are ch…
Transformation and Decay: The de-institutionalisation of party systems in South America
This article surveys the evolution of party systems in South America in terms of their level of institutionalisation. In recent times political competition in much of South America has become less structured by political parties proper and has moved in the direction of candidate-centred movements and electoral vehicles led by political entrepreneurs. Most countries in South America (Brazil, Chile and Uruguay are exceptions) have experienced party…
Guatemala's Party Universe: A Case Study in Underinstitutionalization
The article examines the degree of institutionalization of the Guatemalan party universe across four areas: the pattern of interparty competition; the rootedness of parties in society; the legitimacy accorded to parties and democratic institutions; and the nature of internal party organization. Guatemala displays an extremely inchoate party structure across all these variables. There is no stability in the identity of the main parties in the poli…
Tax system reform in Latin America: Domestic and international causes
Throughout the past 20 years, Latin American countries have undertaken a battery of reforms to create simpler, more efficient tax systems with a greater emphasis on indirect taxes of broader bases, and more moderate marginal tax rates. This article aims to elucidate the amalgam of domestic and international forces that have fostered the reform of tax systems throughout Latin America. Domestic pressures stemmed from the debt crisis, the accompanyi…

Argentina's Landmark 2003 Presidential Election: Renewal and Continuity
This article provides an analysis of the political and socioeconomic context of the April 2003 presidential elections, focusing particularly on the campaign platforms of candidates, the outcome of the first round and the election's consequences for the party system. The election's results were far reaching in many respects. Argentina's longstanding two-party system came to an end with the virtual vanishing of the Radical party (UCR) at the nation…
The Rise and Fall of the Dependency Movement: Does It Inform Underdevelopment Today
While dependency theory as a conscious, explicit approach to development can be considered a thing of the past, its legacy is very much with us. The impact that dependency ideas held in Latin American centers of academia was pervasive, while also gaining many adherents in Europe and the United States. Perhaps more importantly, this impact went beyond scholarly circles. As Falcoff (1980, 797) observed, "dependency explanations...are no longer conf…

Beyond Pacted Transitions in Spain and Chile: Elite and Institutional Differences
This article compares the transitions to democracy in Spain and Chile, two countries that share important pre-transition characteristics. Both transitions were made from the legality of the existing regime, and democratization followed from a stalemate between the forces of the ancien régime and those of change. Moreover, both were transitions by transaction - negotiated with the authoritarian forces. Yet the differences were more pronounced. The…
The Sanctions Malaise: The Case of Cuba
WHEN A COUNTRY DOES SOMETHING WE DO NOT LIKE we express our disaffection. Rhetoric is not enough and we don't want to send the marines. Sanctions are still popular but their effectiveness is dubious. Politically there is a reason to do it. It allows politicians to say am tough on Iran because I voted for sanctions; the president is the one who's soft. '(1) These words from Lee Hamilton, who until recently chaired the International Relations Commi…
Miraculous Metamorphoses: The Neoliberalisation of Latin American Populism
Growth, Employment and Equity: The Impact of Economic Reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. Barbara STALLINGS and Wilson Peres: Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2000
This book is the result of years of work by a large team of economists and regional specialists established at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA). It is clearly one of the most comprehensively researched and authoritative studies done on the topic yet. To be sure, it is much too early to give any sort of definitive assessment on the reforms, but the time is ripe to sketch a preliminary picture. The study is very repre…
The perils of a trade-first US foreign policy
The end of the Cold War, the advent of globalisation, and new horizons in trade theory, all seem to point out to the need for a new American economic strategy. Indeed, for many they beg for the implementation of economism as the new US foreign policy doctrine. The managed trade policy (1993-1996) of forcibly opening foreign markets for the benefit of corporate America showed much of what is wrong with a trade-first agenda in foreign affairs: it a…

Mexico’s Foreign Policy under Salinas: The Search for Friends in the First World
Mexico’s official foreign policy under Carlos Salinas (1988-1994) was defined as a search for economic modernization and diversification in its external relations. Traditional elements of Mexican foreign affairs were largely turned upside down, even if the Salinas diplomatic team maintained its traditional discourse in multilateral fora. The new Mexico became pragmatic, internationalist, pro-American and economistic. However, attempts to diversif…
