Violence, governments and democracies
El CLACSO Working Group on Violence, Governments and Democracies It proposes to contribute to the construction of a knowledge system on violence, governments and democracy based on a dialogue of knowledge between academia,
The institutions and social groups that influence the multisectoral design of policies and interventions in the field of citizen security for the real strengthening of democratic regimes in Latin America and the Caribbean.
With that horizon in mind, work will be done to develop a research-action program on the modes of governance - state and non-state - of the criminal issue, its consequences in the social and political life of citizens, the violation of the rights of the most disadvantaged groups, and how they weaken democratic regimes.
We are interested in developing lines of research on the use of violence as a mechanism for resolving various social, political, cultural, and digital conflicts. This includes political violence and extreme ideological positions, hate speech and narratives, the use of digital space and the media to create the conditions for the establishment of fascism in Latin America, and the consequent risk this poses to democracies.
