Born from the call for papers of the same name promoted by CLACSO within the framework of its Platforms for Social Dialogue, Democracy, Human Rights, and Peace, Crossroads and Challenges from the State and Social Organizations is a key book for understanding the tensions traversing Latin America and the Caribbean. Ravaged by colonialism, repression, and inequality, the region has also been a cradle of struggles and resistance for justice, freedom, and democracy. Human rights violations, however, persist, often fueled by dominant sectors seeking to increase their power regardless of the lives of the vast majority. This volume brings together six rigorous studies that explore diverse phenomena related to the connection between democracy, human rights, and peace from a historical and situated perspective. It is a highly enriching read for those seeking to understand the current and future challenges in defending human rights and deepening democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean.
