Immigrant Experiences with Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting (PB) has emerged as one of the most common models for implementing participatory democracy. One of the stated goals of many PB initiatives is to engage underrepresented groups and individuals in decision-making. The participation of immigrants in the public sphere supports their integration into a new society. PB mechanisms have the potential to serve as spaces for immigrant political representation because they do not req…
Resistencia: Indigenous Movements, Social Media, and Mobilization in Latin America
Indigenous peoples in Latin America have produced some of the region's strongest and most enduring social movements, drawing on a diverse repertoire of contention to pursue their goals. In the twenty-first century, social media have transformed the landscape of collective action, compelling Indigenous movements to navigate the evolving dynamics of digital platforms. There is an ongoing debate in the literature regarding the role of social media i…
Indigenous Civil Society in Latin America: Collective Action in the Digital Age
Framing Indigenous protest in the online public sphere: A comparative frame analysis
Indigenous social movement organizations are increasingly using social media to engage in strategic framing, a dynamic discursive process that seeks to attribute meaning to events and circumstances. But there remains a gap in our knowledge with respect to the impact of social media on the capacity of Indigenous actors to engage in frame competition in the virtual world. Based on a comparative frame analysis of online content in three Latin Americ…
Participatory Democracy, Democratic Education, and Women
Participatory democrats argue that citizen engagement at the local level serves an important educational function. Through involvement in participatory mechanisms, citizens develop various skills, become better informed, and cultivate a greater sense of political efficacy. There has been considerable debate in the academic literature over the extent to which participation can produce these benefits, but deliberative and participatory theoretical …
Indigenous movements, ICTs and the state in Latin America
This paper presents an analysis of the evolving cyber politics landscape in Latin American countries from the perspective of the region’s Indigenous social movements. It examines the types of regulations and tools that Latin American governments have adopted to assert their control over the online world, how these measures constitute barriers for Indigenous organizations, and how social media and other ICTs are shifting the balance of power betwe…
Early Covid-19 policy responses in Latin America: A Comparative Analysis of Social Protection and Health Policy
In May 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Latin America an epicenter of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Governments have taken different approaches to tackling the crisis, but it is not clear if policies to address the health and economic dimensions of COVID-19 represent a radical departure from business as usual, or whether they simply reflect and reproduce unequal power relations and flawed institutions. This article seeks to addr…
Women and participatory mechanisms in Latin America: Deepening democracy or more of the same
Traditional understandings of political participation frequently overlook the forms of local-level participation that women are more likely to engage in. The emergence of local participatory democracy mechanisms in Latin America offers the potential to disrupt this pattern. Authors have noted a strong relationship between women’s participation and local democracy. Proponents of participatory democracy argue that citizen engagement should produce …
Incidencia de las TIC en la comercialización de los productos de las comunidades rurales indígenas en el Ecuador
Given the fact that many Indigenous communities produce various types of products, the use of ICTs to promote and sell their goods could provide them with important income and thus increase their economic independence. Although a growing number of researchers are studying the use of ICTs in social movements, we still know little about the impact of ICTs on the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. This article therefore addresses the following ques…
Indigenous Movements, Collective Action, and Social Media: New Opportunities or New Threats
Indigenous peoples remain among the most marginalized population groups in the Americas. The decline of the Indigenous protest cycle in Latin America by the mid-2000s meant that research on collective action turned elsewhere just as the use of social media was becoming more prominent in the tactical repertoire of collective action, and we know little about how Indigenous groups have adapted new technologies for the purpose of civic engagement. If…
Use of information and communications technologies by Indigenous civil society organizations in Ecuador
Indigenous peoples are among the most marginalized population groups in the Western Hemisphere. In Latin America, they have engaged in diverse forms of collective action with varying degrees of success. Previous research has studied the ‘traditional’ social movement strategies used by some of the more successful groups. We know relatively little, however, about how Indigenous groups use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to pursue …
Participatory democracy and ethnic minorities: Opening Inclusive New Spaces or Reproducing Inequalities
In the past decade, Latin America has emerged as the epicentre of participatory democracy innovations. Proponents argue that participation should lead to more equitable access to public goods and a greater sense of political efficacy. There has been considerable debate in the academic literature and in the public sphere over the extent to which participation can produce these benefits. Yet, while Latin America has witnessed an explosion of partic…

Mechanisms for popular participation and discursive constructions of citizenship
In the past decade, Latin America has witnessed the emergence of a political discourse that links popular participation to citizenship accompanied by an explosion of participatory mechanisms. Yet there is little qualitative research that looks at how participatory experiences affect people's perceptions of their role as citizens or to what extent the discourse transmitted through these institutions encourages participation or compliance. This art…
The Media in Venezuela and Bolivia: Attacking the “Bad Left” from Below
The media in Latin America are characterized by an extremely high level of market concentration, resulting in the representation of a narrow set of perspectives. Movements that would challenge the hegemony of the dominant social classes are portrayed as dangerous and reckless. The election of "bad left" governments with strong majorities through the very representative institutions that those in the media claim to defend has created a dilemma for…
The incorporation of indigenous concepts of plurinationality into the new constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia
This article studies the new constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia in order to determine to what extent indigenous concepts of democracy have been incorporated into these important documents. The research presented here suggests that there is a significant correlation between the demands made by indigenous social movements over the past two decades and the new constitutional texts of both countries, which essentially embrace the alternative forms …
