Developing Space: Slum Growth and Withering Institutions of Social Control in Venezuela

Leon, Daniel S. 21 February 2018 (has links)
Venezuela, a Latin American rentier state, went from experiencing 11 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 1983 to 44 in 2002. My dissertation project examines why this significant increase in social violence took place by analysing the relationship between slum development and the withering of institutions of social control in the country after the 1970s. This article however only discusses the conceptual framework behind the dwindling of institutions of social control. The hypothesis of this article (and that of my dissertation) is that a Durkheimian anomic gap was fomented in the Venezuelan slums because transition to modernity (rural-to-urban migration) did not allow recreating institutions that promoted norms of social interaction, which reduce the possibility of violent conflict between people. It concludes by reviewing the tentative methodology that will be applied in my dissertation to confirm or dismiss the aforementioned hypothesis. / In Venezuela, einem lateinamerikanischen Rentierstaat, stieg die Zahl der Totschläge pro 100.000 Einwohner von 11 im Jahr 1983 auf 44 im Jahr 2002. In meiner Dissertation wird untersucht, warum sich diese signifikante Steigerung der sozialen Gewalt nach den 1970er Jahren ereignet. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Analyse der Beziehung zwischen Slumentwicklung und dem Weichen von Institutionen der sozialen Kontrolle vorgenommen werden. Dieser Artikel beschreibt den konzeptionellen Rahmen um diesen Kausalzusammenhang zu belegen. Die Hypothese meines Forschungsvorhabens ist, dass der rasante Übergang in die Moderne (die Land-Stadt-Migration) eine normfreie Zone entstehen ließ. Der Artikel endet mit der Überprüfung der vorläufigen Methodik, die in meiner Dissertation die oben genannte Hypothese zu negieren oder zu bestätigen sucht.
