Assessing the impact of transitional justice: the South Korean experience, 1980-2016

Lee, Hae Won 27 November 2018 (has links)
Since the 1970s we have witnessed a flourishing of transitional justice efforts around the globe. Yet, the actual impact of transitional justice is in question. This study assesses the impact of transitional justice with a single-case study of South Korea, the May 18 Democratic Movement (5.18) case in particular. In addition to the impact assessment, my dissertation provides an explanation on how transitional justice mechanisms exert their impact. To assess the impact of transitional justice, the study examines three dimensions - civil-military relations, historical narratives and institutional safeguards against human rights violations – which are essential in deterring further human rights violations by states. After process tracing the evolution of each dimension for the last 36 years, the study finds that transitional justice in South Korea has had a positive impact on deterring human rights violations since the democratic transition: the impact on civil-military relations and historical narratives is strong and positive, and the impact on institutional safeguards is positive, but somewhat limited due to South Korea’s unique security circumstances. Although the implementation of transitional justice mechanisms was imperfect and their impact is limited in some domains, on balance, the benefits of pursuing transitional justice in the South Korean case outweighed any possible costs – benefits in terms of (1) strengthening civilian control over the military, (2) creating a new historical narrative that delegitimated human rights abuses, and (3) creating institutional safeguards against human rights violations. Despite the possible negative consequences, the South Korean experience suggests that if transitional justice is pushed by strong public demand and properly implemented (sequence, timing, etc.), it can actually be more profitable and fruitful in establishing a society in which human rights are well respected and protected. The study also finds that transitional justice is a long and non-linear process, and not only the outcome but also the process itself produces a positive impact. / 2025-11-30T00:00:00Z

Seu objetivo é compreender as características organizativas básicas do partido e de sua liderança estadual principal, Orestes Quércia, simultaneamente ao intenso declínio eleitoral do PMDB-SP no período. Assumindo que partidos políticos são instituições históricas, nas quais a organização e a ação de elites políticas respondem a interesses, incentivos institucionais e contexto histórico-social sob limites impostos por suas trajetórias, analisamos dados eleitorais e organizacionais, entrevistas, documentos partidários e de fontes secundárias. Demonstramos que a força e centralidade de suas organizações locais tanto para a dinâmica partidária quanto para seu desempenho eleitoral, associadas com o partido desde sua fundação e institucionalização nas décadas de 60 e 70, e a herança do passado emedebista marcam a instituição no período estudado. O quercismo, grupo de elites partidárias liderado por Orestes Quércia, nutre-se dessa estrutura e faz dela a base de sua sobrevivência. Contudo, essa continuidade também foi decisiva para o declínio eleitoral do partido observado nas últimas décadas no estado. As mudanças na configuração da política paulista, o aumento da competitividade e a "presidencialização" da política estadual produziram um realinhamento do sistema eleitoral-partidário para o qual a máquina política organizada pelo PMDB paulista, concentrada na política local, não era adequada para continuar a vencer eleições / Abstract: This research is a case study of the trajectory of the PMDB in São Paulo between 1994 and 2010. Its goal is to understand the party's basic organizational features and its main state leadership, Orestes Quercia, simultaneously to the intense electoral decline PMDB-SP suffered in the period. Assuming that political parties are historical institutions, in which the organization and action of political elites respond to interests, institutional incentives and socio-historical context under limits imposed by their trajectory, this dissertation analyzes electoral and organizational data, interviews, party documents and secondary sources. It demonstrates that the strength and centrality of local organizations for both the party dynamics and its electoral performance, associated with the party since its foundation and institutionalization in the 60s and 70s, and the legacy of the emedebista past mark the institution during the period under scrutiny. The quercismo, group of party elites led by Orestes Quercia, nourished by this structure and made it the basis of its survival. However, this continuity was also crucial to the party's electoral decline observed in recent decades in the state. Changes in the configuration of paulista politics, increased competitiveness and the "presidentialization" of state politics produced a realignment of the electoral-party system to which the political machine organized by the PMDB of São Paulo, concentrated in local politics, was not adequate to keep winning elections / Mestrado / Ciencia Politica / Mestre em Ciência Política

Dos autênticos aos governistas: gênese e trajetória do PMDB (1979 a 2002) / From authentics to governists: genesis and development of the PMDB (from 1979 to 2002)

Mucinhato, Rafael Moreira Dardaque 20 March 2019 (has links)
Esta tese investiga a história de um dos mais longevos partidos políticos do nosso sistema partidário, o Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB). A partir de uma perspectiva nacional e diacrônica, analisamos sua história interna cobrindo mais de duas décadas de sua trajetória, de 1979 a 2002, com o intuito de compreender como o partido passou do protagonismo ao pano de fundo da política nacional, mas mantendo-se, ainda assim, um ator determinante em nosso arranjo político institucional. Levando em conta o peso que os órgãos de direção têm na definição dos rumos dos partidos políticos brasileiros, assim como a forte presença de parlamentares nesses órgãos no que se refere especificamente ao PMDB (Ribeiro, 2014), fazemos uso do conceito de coalizão dominante de Panebianco (2005) para analisar a face diretiva do partido (Katz e Mair, 1993) e argumentamos que a compreensão da dinâmica interna dos seus principais órgãos de direção contribui para entender as mudanças ocorridas nas estratégias políticas e eleitorais adotadas pelo PMDB, sobretudo no que tange às disputas pelo cargo de Presidente da República. Para realizar esse objetivo, a tese apoia-se tanto em um amplo levantamento documental quanto em entrevistas em profundidade, realizadas com políticos importantes para a história do partido em seus respectivos estados, um esforço pioneiro nos estudos em relação a este objeto. Ainda nesse sentido, este estudo divide-se em duas partes. A primeira delas investiga o recorte histórico de 1979 a 1988, período no qual as transformações internas do partido estiveram mais ligadas às constantes entradas e saídas de quadros. Incluem-se nesse período, entre outros eventos, a refundação da sigla em 1979, a incorporação do Partido Popular em 1982, a entrada de José Sarney no partido em 1985, a legalização dos partidos comunistas em 1985 e a formação do PSDB em 1988. Por sua vez, na segunda parte deste estudo investigamos o recorte histórico de 1989 a 2002. Neste segundo período, as transformações internas na coalizão dominante e consequentemente as estratégias eleitorais adotadas estiveram mais ligadas a disputas internas entre suas diferentes alas. Incluem-se nesse período as breves hegemonias ulyssista e quercista, que levaram Ulysses Guimarães e Orestes Quércia a serem os candidatos presidenciais respectivamente em 1989 e 1994, a indefinição quanto a lançar candidatura própria ou coligar-se com outro partido nas eleições presidenciais de 1998 e, por fim, a chegada de Michel Temer à presidência do partido em 2001, consolidando o bloco chamado de governista enquanto coalizão dominante do partido a partir de então. Sugerimos que o estudo deste partido em específico de maneira aprofundada, dados o tamanho e a complexidade do PMDB, permitem-nos uma compreensão de processos e dinâmicas que vão além dele. Seu estudo proporciona uma visão, a partir de um ponto de vista específico, da história política do Brasil durante e após a transição democrática, e nos permite, também, lançar luz sobre outros aspectos do nosso sistema político-partidário, como, por exemplo, a dinâmica de bipolarização das disputas presidenciais no país entre candidaturas de PT e PSDB, que se consolida durante o recorte histórico aqui estudado. / This thesis investigates the history of one of the longest-lived political parties in our party system, the Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB). From a national and diachronic perspective, we analyze its internal history covering more than two decades, from 1979 to 2002, in order to understand how the party moved from the protagonism to the background of national politics, but remaining yet as a determining actor in our political system. Taking into account the weight that the governing bodies have in defining the directions of the Brazilian political parties, as well as the strong presence of parliamentarians in these bodies with regard to the PMDB (Ribeiro, 2014), we use the concept of ruling coalition of Panebianco (2005) to analyze the party in central office (Katz and Mair, 1993) and argue that the understanding of the internal dynamics of its main governing bodies contributes to understanding the changes in the political and electoral strategies adopted by the PMDB, especially regarding the presidential elections. In order to achieve this goal, the thesis is based on a wide documentary investigation and on in-depth interviews with important politicians to the history of the party in their states, a pioneering effort in the studies related to this object. In this sense, this study is divided into two parts. The first one investigates the time period from 1979 to 1988, a moment in which the internal transformations of the party were more linked to the constant flow of politicians in and out of it. This period includes, among other events, the refoundation of the party in 1979, the incorporation of the Popular Party in 1982, the entry of José Sarney in 1985, the legalization of the communist parties in 1985 and the formation of the PSDB in 1988. On the other hand, in the second part of this study we investigate the time period from 1989 to 2002. In this second period, the internal transformations in the ruling coalition and consequently the electoral strategies adopted were more related to internal disputes between its different wings. Included in this period were the brief Ulyssist and Quercist hegemonies, which led Ulysses Guimarães and Orestes Quércia to be the presidential candidates respectively in 1989 and 1994, the indefiniteness in launching their own candidacy or joining with another party in the 1998 presidential elections and, finally the arrival of Michel Temer to the presidency of the party in 2001, consolidating the wing called \"governists\" as the party\'s ruling coalition thereafter. We suggest that the in depth study of this particular party, given the size and complexity of the PMDB, allow us an understanding of processes and dynamics that go beyond it. His study provides a view, from a specific point of view, of Brazil\'s political history during and after the democratic transition, and also allows us to shed light on other aspects of our political-party system, such as the dynamics of bipolarisation of the presidential elections in the country between PT and PSDB candidacies, which has consolidated during the time period studied here.

Configuração político-partidária do estado do Espírito Santo no contexto do regime militar : um estudo regional acerca das trajetórias de ARENA e MDB (1964-1982)

Oliveira, Ueber José de 17 April 2013 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T19:14:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 5155.pdf: 3546191 bytes, checksum: 1adbcb9665de07305e588a507a4a4d6e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-04-17 / Assuming that the Brazilian military regime, established in 1964, was based on maintaining two separate orders - the democratic order and exception (authoritarism) - this thesis has as main purpose to analyze this political party configuration, in Espírito Santo, between the years 1964 and 1982. The focus of this analysis is on the patch of the prevailing party associations in the period MDB and Arena - considering its constituent political groups, this specific federal unit, characterized as peripheral set in national development. The perspective taken for the analysis of this trajectory is the institutional framework set up by the Brazilian authoritarian regime (1964- 1985). It is analyzed, under this assumption and focus, the political election performance of the parties above in lawsuits aimed at filling vacancies in the legislative (Senate, House and Federal Legislature), according to electoral laws in force in each election and in own cyclical circumstances. It is also reconstituted, the different contexts succession, conducted indirectly since 1966, the choice of Governors, and exceptionally for Bionic Senator in 1978, examining the relationship between parties and governments formed in the period. The main hypothesis is that, despite the restrictions imposed by the military regime for the operation of the two-party system, it identifies certain lines of continuity between the pre-and post-1964. The results of the survey, which used a wide range of documents, and being based on the methodology multiple documentary research, demonstrate that the main political actors, be they individuals or groups within the political clubs in question, maintained certain positioning standards already verified in the political-electoral period of 1945-1964. In the case of capixaba Arena, the party met both members of the old PSD, with its two main wings - the urban-industrial and agro-land - as the political forces that gathered around the partisan front conventionally called partisan Democratic Coalition, that housed a wide range of political parties - UDN, PTB, PSP, PSB, PR, and others - which opposed the PSD. But MDB, since its beggining, rigged by a former member of the more conservative wing of the former PTB and its group, which sent to the opposition capixaba party the same conservative profile observed in regional PTB. The paper also analyzes the historical confluence between the development project that had been gestated in the Espírito Santo since the PSD governments, especially that of Jones dos Santos Neves (1943-1945/1951-1954) - whose political heirs of the Governor put into practice - and the implementation of the developmental project of the Military Governments. To this confluence of agendas - which proved to be a crucial element of legitimacy and permanence in positions of regional power, of alumni figures of urban-industrial portions of the old PSD, during most of the duration of the military regime - we call the Ideal Platform. The final part of the work is inclined to identify the realignments of those aforementioned political actors in the new multiparty scenario wrought upon the establishment of the New Republic, as well as the election campaign of 1982. / Partindo do pressuposto de que o Regime Militar Brasileiro, instaurado em 1964, baseou-se na manutenção de dois ordenamentos distintos a ordem democrática e a exceção (autoritarismo) a presente tese tem como principal propósito analisar esta configuração político-partidária, no Espírito Santo, entre os anos de 1964 e 1982. O foco dessa análise recai sobre a trajetória das agremiações partidárias vigentes no período Arena e MDB , considerando seus grupos políticos constituintes, nesta unidade federativa específica, caracterizada como periférica no conjunto do desenvolvimento nacional. A perspectiva que se toma para a análise dessa trajetória é a do arcabouço institucional montado pelo regime autoritário brasileiro (1964-1985). Analisase, sob esse pressuposto e foco, o desempenho político-eleitoral dos partidos supramencionados, em pleitos voltados para o preenchimento de vagas nos poderes legislativos (Senado, Câmara Federal e Assembleia Legislativa), segundo legislações eleitorais vigentes em cada pleito e em circunstâncias conjunturais próprias. Reconstituem-se, também, os diferentes contextos sucessórios, realizados de forma indireta a partir de 1966, da escolha de Governadores, e excepcionalmente para Senador Biônico em 1978, examinando-se a relação entre os partidos e os governos constituídos no período. A principal hipótese é a de que, apesar das restrições impostas pelo regime militar ao funcionamento do sistema bipartidário, identificam-se certas linhas de continuidade entre os períodos pré e pós-1964. Os resultados da pesquisa, que utilizou uma variada gama de documentos, tendo sido pautada na metodologia da pesquisa documental múltipla, demonstram que os principais atores políticos, sejam eles indivíduos ou agrupamentos, no interior das agremiações políticas em apreço, mantiveram certos padrões de posicionamento já verificados no cenário político-eleitoral do período 1945-1964. No caso da Arena capixaba, o partido reuniu tanto os membros do antigo PSD, com suas duas principais alas a urbanoindustrial e a agro-fundiária , quanto as forças políticas que se juntavam em torno da frente partidária convencionalmente chamada de Coligação Democrática, que abrigava uma ampla gama de partidos políticos UDN, PTB, PSP, PSB, PR, entre outros os quais faziam oposição ao PSD. Já o MDB, foi, desde o início, aparelhado por um ex-membro da ala mais conservadora do antigo PTB e seu grupo, o que transmitiu ao partido oposicionista capixaba o mesmo perfil conservador verificado no PTB regional. O trabalho procura analisar, também, a confluência histórica entre o projeto de desenvolvimento que vinha sendo gestado no Espírito Santo desde os Governos pessedistas, especialmente o de Jones dos Santos Neves (1943-1945/1951-1954) que os herdeiros políticos do governador colocaram em prática e a implementação do projeto desenvolvimentista dos Governos Militares. A essa confluência de agendas que se revelou elemento crucial de legitimação e permanência, nos espaços de poder regional, de figuras egressas das parcelas urbano-industriais do antigo PSD, durante a maior parte de vigência do Regime Militar damos o nome de Plataforma Ideal. A parte final do trabalho se inclina a identificar os realinhamentos desses mesmos atores políticos supramencionados no novo cenário multipartidário forjado por ocasião da instauração da Nova República, bem como no pleito eleitoral de 1982.

Politik als Naturlehre

Häußler, Ursula 02 November 2006 (has links)
Diese Arbeit trägt mit ihrem speziellen Interesse für die Organologiemetapher als diskursprägende sprachliche Form eine neue Fragestellung an die Ideenwelt der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts heran. Untersucht wird, inwieweit die Gleichsetzung von Staat und Gesellschaft mit einem lebenden Körper als Ausdruck eines kollektiv geteilten Weltmodells zu verstehen ist, das das politische Denken der beginnenden Moderne prägte und kanalisierte. Wie die in dieser Arbeit durchgeführte synchrone Diskursanalyse zentraler Grundlagentexte der sechs maßgeblichen politischen Bewegungen des Vormärz - des Kommunismus, der demokratischen Bewegung, des Liberalismus, der Frauenbewegung, des Konservativismus und des politischen Katholizismus - zeigt, ist dies eindeutig der Fall: Mit Hilfe der demiurgischen Kraft der Organologiemetapher werden Welt, Staat und Gesellschaft in sämtlichen politischen Philosophien so entworfen, dass sie als Organismen erscheinen, die durch weitgehend unbeeinflussbare Natur-Triebe in ihrer Entwicklung vorangetrieben werden. Ebenso wird der Aufbau von Staat und Gesellschaft von allen nach dem Vorbild eines Organismus modelliert, in dem sich Teil und Ganzes wechselseitig bedingen. Auch die Positionierung von Mann und Frau im Kollektivkörper wird auf Erkenntnisse der Naturlehre, speziell auf in den Geschlechtern wirkende Natur-Kräfte, zurückgeführt. In dieser Arbeit werden zuerst diese Diskursgemeinsamkeiten vorgestellt, die auf eine grundlegende Mentalität der beginnenden Moderne schließen lassen. Anschließend werden die einzelnen Diskursvarianten und ihre Implikationen - nach den politischen Bewegungen geordnet - detailliert dargestellt. / With its specific interest in the organology metaphor this study creates a new way of understanding political ideas of the first half of the 19th century. It points out that the comparision of state and society with a living body is not only a stylistic pattern but a collectively shared fundamental mentality that influenced the political philosophy of the beginning modern age. This is shown by a synchronic analysis of essential and fundamental texts of the six important political movements of the first half of the 19th century - Communism, the democratic and the women''s movement, Liberalism, Conservatism and the political Catholicism. All political philosophies use the demiurgic power of the organology metaphor to design world, state and society in a way that they appear as organisms, which are propelled in their development by hardly influencable natural powers. Likewise all philosophies mould the organisation of state and society according to the pattern of a living organism, in which the whole body and its parts mutually depend on each other. By supposing different natural forces working in men and women also the sexes are positioned differently in the collective body. This study first presents these common uses of the organology metaphor through all political movements and the fundamental mentality of the beginning modern age shown by these. After that it focusses on the specific uses of the organology metaphor and their implications in each text.

Journalisme et influence politique pendant la révolution de 1848 : l’exemple de la Nouvelle gazette rhénane / Journalism and political power during the revolution in 1848 : based on the studies of die Neue Rheinische Zeitung

Mattes, Gudrun 02 March 2015 (has links)
Notre travail a comme objectif d’étudier la fonction de la Nouvelle gazette rhénane pendant la révolution de 1848 en Allemagne. A partir d’un corpus constitué des numéros du journal, y compris les éditions spéciales et les suppléments, notre étude analyse la conception du journal voulue par ses fondateurs, sa réalisation journalistique ainsi que l’évolution de sa ligne politique. Comme outil d’analyse nous nous appuyons sur la notion de l’espace public, notamment de l’espace public bourgeois, conçue par Jürgen Habermas en 1961, mais aussi sur les notions d’un espace public plébéien et d’un espace public prolétarien que la recherche a développées entre-temps. Après avoir étudié l’état de l’espace public en Allemagne, l’évolution du mouvement ouvrier avant et au début de la révolution et les prémices de la Nouvelle gazette rhénane, nous développons l’hypothèse que le journal fut un projet indépendant, explicitement conçu pour l’espace public bourgeois, en parallèle avec le projet de la Ligue des communistes qui, elle, a été créée à l’attention du mouvement ouvrier et pour l’espace public prolétarien naissant. La conception de la Nouvelle gazette rhénane puise ses sources dans les analyses de ses fondateurs, notamment de son rédacteur en chef Karl Marx, notamment en ce qui concerne la situation en Allemagne et en Europe. Suivant ces analyses, le journal a l’exigence de peser sur le cours de la révolution. L’idée de départ est de faire pression sur les parties progressistes de la bourgeoisie. En conséquence sa stratégie est de s’insérer dans le mouvement démocrate afin de pousser les démocrates vers une politique de confrontation avec la monarchie absolue. En s’adaptant au début de son existence aux critères de l’espace public bourgeois, la Nouvelle gazette rhénane correspond aux critères d’excellence de son époque : son travail rédactionnel, son organisation, sa production matérielle et sa distribution sont à la pointe du journalisme politique. Notre étude statistique des articles concernant l’Allemagne et l’étranger montre qu’il s’agit d’un journal prussien qui bénéficie d’un réseau dense de correspondants dans les régions et les Etats d’Allemagne ainsi qu’en Europe. Un accent particulier est porté sur les informations venant des pays européens. Ce fait s’explique par la conception européenne que le journal a de la révolution de 1848.La particularité du journal est à notre sens qu’il a accompagné toutes les modifications de l’espace public pendant la révolution. Sa politique se caractérise par la défense de la révolution et en premier lieu la défense de la liberté de la presse. Confronté à un morcellement et une destruction partielle de l’espace public bourgeois, sa ligne politique évolue d’une critique de la politique des parlements de Francfort et de Berlin vers une ligne de plus en plus insurrectionnelle. Notamment pendant les crises de septembre et de novembre, son influence sur les démocrates est notable sans qu’elle puisse s’imposer entièrement. En réaction à un bilan négatif de la politique du mouvement démocrate, ses rédacteurs quittent leurs fonctions dirigeantes au sein du mouvement au printemps 1849 pour intégrer la fraternité ouvrière (Allgemeine Deutsche Arbeiterverbrüderung) de Leipzig. Cette décision correspond à une orientation vers l’espace public prolétarien ; le processus de cette réorientation est cependant interrompu par la fin de la révolution et ne pourra pas se concrétiser. / Our work has the objective of studying the function of die Neue Rheinische Zeitung during the German revolution in 1848. Our work is based on a corpus that consists of all the numbers of the journal that comprise of special editions and supplements. Our study analyses the conception of the newspaper as imagined by its founders, its journalistic creation as well as the evolution of its political direction. The basis of our analysis is the notion of public sphere, notably the bourgeois public sphere conceived by Jürgen Habermas in 1961 but also the notions of the plebeian public sphere and the proletarian public sphere. These notions had been developped by the research in the meantime.After having studied the situation of the public sphere in Germany and the evolution of the labour movement that already existed at the start of the revolution and the beginnings of die Neue Rheinische Zeitung, we developped the hypothesis that the journal was an independent project conceived for the bourgeois public sphere in parallel with the project of the Communist League, which was created for the attention of the labour movement and the emerging proletarian public sphere. The conception of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung takes its inspiration from his founders, namely chief contributor Karl Marx and his analyses about the situation in Germany and in Europe. According to his analysis, the newspaper had an impact on the course of the revolution. The first idea behind it is to put the progressive parties under pressure. Consequently, his strategy is to enter the democratic movement in order to push its members towards a political confrontation with the monarchy. At the start of its existence, it adapted itself to the criteria of the bourgeois public sphere and therefore matched the criteria and the political standards of journalism at that time in terms of writing skills, organization, production and distribution. Our statistics of the articles dealing with Germany and other foreign countries show that it is about a Prussian newspaper, which benefited from a wide network of correspondents in the regions and states in Germany as well as Europe. Information coming from European countries is extremely important, certainly because of the European conception which the journal developed of the revolution in 1848. A particular feature of the journal is that it followed all the changes of the public sphere during the revolution. Its politics was characterized by the defence of the revolution ad in the first instance of the Freedom of the Press. Confronted by a splitting up and a partial destruction of the bourgeois public sphere, the political movement started moving from a critic of the Parliaments in Frankfurt and Berlin into a more and more insurrectional direction against the government. During the crises of September and November 1848, its influence on the democrats is notable without being completely imposing. In reaction to the negative results of the democratic political movement, the contributors started quitting the leadership in Rhineland in spring 1849 to integrate die Allgemeine Deutsche Arbeiterverbrüderung of Leipzig. The decision corresponded to a changing direction towards the proletarian public sphere whose progress had been interrupted by the end of the revolution and could not be realized.
