Summary: In this investigation I deconstruido the narrative structure of the historical works Argentine in the second half of the twentieth century. These stories, like structures complete long period, have different interpretations about the Peronism as a political phenomenon complex and crucial in shaping the identity politics of contemporary Argentina. The analysis of these works, conceived as a narrative speeches, is based on two basic theories concerning the epistemological dimension, aesthetic and moral, historical narration: the theory of the relationship between time and narrating "Paul Ricoeur, and the theory the historical imagination of Hayden White. The first allows sustain the importance of historical narrative as mediation able to understand the paradoxes temporary historical experience, and the second focus of this thesis, allows conceive these stories as discrusos verbal, and addressed through a strategy narrative or archetype, under whose category (fabric, argument and ideology position) it is possible to capture the deep structure or "poetic" which is contained historical imagination. The works I tested belonged to historians and sociologists who, between 1955 and 1966 formed a distinguishable academic field, agent in the formation of the historical consciousness of a generation later, and explained to Peronism as an entity rooted in a process of far-reaching: Jose Luis Romero, Gino Germani, Silvio Frondizi, the writers of the magazine group Contour that pertneció Tulio Halperin Donghi, and Juan Jose Hernandez Arregui.

Summary: Our working thesis deals essentially what is the incidence of social strife brought by the social organizations of Garifuna blacks in the transition from model "homogeneous nation" recognition of a "multi-ethnic nation" in Honduras. Therefore, in the work we mean by exposing "homogeneous nation" to the draft revision of the nation started from the twentieth century, which tried to build a nation based on cultural integration of índigenas, blacks and the caste values and norms of the dominant elite, either white or mixed, but in all cases, the heir to the traditions inherited from the Spanish colonial society or new inputs resulting in the "modernity", ie postulates " Order and Progress "from the positivism from Europe and the United States. Therefore "homogenized" was "aculturizar" indigenous and black, or eseñarles the Spanish language, the Catholic religion, costrumbres modern, ultimately, "civilize". In this sense, to explain the construction of the project, also presented in the thesis process "imagination" of the nation of honduras from the theoretical contribution of Benedict Anderson, who believes that the nation is a device constructed and imagined by the State or the "intelligentsias" at your service. Once evacuated this analysis, the final part of the thesis presents the main demands of Garifuna blacks around the struggle to abolish the draft "homogeneous nation," to instead compel the State to recognize a "multi-ethnic nation" , which had reached particularly in four areas: education, with the introduction of a and Intercultural Education Bilingà ¼ (EBI), in health, with the establishment of a health model with an intercultural approach, in recognition of territories, with the strength, extension and rehabilitation of their land, and eventually, with the recognition of political rights, the rule by agreeing that the Garifuna deserve equal rights to participate in national politics, but at the same time, which is an integral part of the "representations" the nation, which is now recognized as a "multiethnic" and "multicultural" as of the enactment of the Agreement Presidential n fourth 0719-EP of 1994.

Summary: It is a comparative study on party discipline in three Central American countries: Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama, which covers the decade of partisan noventa.La discipline thus becomes the bariable dependent to prove whether or not the influence of the independent variables studied, who were institutional in nature: the type of party, the party system, electoral system and the system of government. Because the issue revolves throne political parties, the variable rate is dealt parties from three aspects: the degree of institutionalization, their control are areas of uncertainty and classification. This latter aspect is based on a functional classification of its own Latin American context. The treatment of party discipline, while dependent variable, is carried out according to three data collection techniques: surveys Members of the three countries, voting at the congresses of each country and the analysis of newsworthy cases insisciplina outstanding. Overall, the findings highlight that the three countries the only variable that appears to have no influence on the party discipline is the electoral system. Also, the influence of the other three variables depends on the combination of them that might occur in each country. So the relacines between independent variables and party discipline can only stated in terms of trends. No party seems to be immune to the Central indiscipline, but the parties classified as tactical voters seem to be better equipped to cope with such a contingency of political life.

Summary: According to the theory of the gender gap would suggest that in advanced societies women are more involved than men in most elections and voting they left, in contrast, a modern industrialized society is not like that of Latin America would be marked for a distance of gender similar to the one described by the classical perspective, ie where men more than women participating in elections and they are more likely to vote for right-wing parties. In this sense, this research will use this theoretical perspective that links the degree of modernization of societies and deeteminada distance gender com excuse to describe, analyze and test some of the assumptions of political behavior especially female linkages to the orientation of the vote to have come from different authors of the classical perspective. In specific, these assumptions are referring to the women who had the lowest levels of electoral turnout, especially those with low incomes and those living in areas rurales.En guidance of the vote, it is women who show a greater tendency to vote by rightwing parties and are more indifferent than men to vote in respect of class, which is accentuated in the lower-income and rural areas. To test these esterotipos gender posed by classical studies on the subject have been elected Chiloe in preríodo 1988-2001 taking advantage of the unique opportunity that this country delivery of election results disaggregated by sex.

Summary: In recent decades, most democratic governments have begun to pursue participatory experiences that seek to increase the involvement of citizens in managing the public, with the aim of expanding democracy, improve governance or give legitimacy the representative mechanisms. However, these experiences have important limitations to fulfill its promises of democratic deepening. Some of these limits are the result of the configuration of the political system in contemporary societies. Others, however, derive from certain trends in the institutionalization of new opportunities for citizen participation. The thesis goes into these issues from the analysis of various participatory experiences developed in the metropolitan area of the city of Valencia.
