“Michelle Bachelet: Chile’s First Female President”
 |
Michelle
Bachelet,
President-elect of Chile. |
President-elect Michelle
Bachelet will be the first female president
in the history
of Chile and the first female president elected purely
on her own name and merits in South America. This
means that the Concertación — the coalition
of center-left parties that has governed since Chile’s
return to democracy in 1990 — will be in power
for four more years. And again, the right-wing opposition,
after an initially strong performance, has fallen
apart in the course of the election campaign. Who
is Michelle Bachelet? What can we expect from her
new government? Will the fact that she is a woman
make a difference? What future is there for the opposition
in Chile ? And what were the main themes and developments
in the election campaign that led to Bachelet’s
victory? This talk will provide some answers to these
questions.

“Bolivian
Regional Autonomy: A Reaction Against Indigenous Mobilization”
Increasingly,
scholars, policymakers and observers of Bolivian politics
have focused their attention on new forms of political mobilization
by the country’s indigenous majority. This mobilization
has produced some of the most sensational news of recent
years including the 2000 Water War against the Bechtel Corporation,
the 2003 Gas War against the Sánchez de Losada administration
and the 2005 election of Evo Morales as president. Less sensationally,
the emergence of indigenous Bolivians as powerful political
actors has begun to generate a backlash in the form of escalating
demands for regional autonomy in Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s
most economically developed and politically conservative
department.

Eaton is Associate Professor of Political Science at the
Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and Visiting

“The Mexican Oil Industry: Problems and Policy Options”
Mexico — the
sixth biggest oil producing nation in the world and one of
the three main oil exporters to the United States — appears
to have reached a peak oil scenario in which oil output levels
are likely to decline sharply in the near term. Meanwhile,
the company, which enjoys monopoly status in the Mexican
market, is reaching a crisis point on many fronts, ranging
from major indebtedness to corporate governance to aging
infrastructure. A number of reform options are available
to the next Mexican president, but none of them are easy
fixes and all could be thwarted by a divided Congress.
David
Shields is a journalist and private consultant on energy
matters in Mexico. He is the editor of Energía a Debate

to hold Pinochet accountable for atrocities committed during
his dictatorship.

Pinochet’s
Children
Directed by Paula Rodriguez (2002)
This
film documents the experiences of three Chileans who grew
up under Pinochet and whose lives are marked by the phases
of the dictatorship. In the early years, they experience exile
and the murder of their parents. In the 1980s, they rebel against
the administration and become student leaders. As they mature,
the compromises of the transition to democracy bring disillusionment
and disengagement from political life. Finally, the arrest
of Pinochet serves as turning point, causing the three protagonists
to re-evaluate their positions. 82 minutes. Spanish with
English subtitles.
The
director will introduce the film and answer questions after

João
Camillo Penna
“Including Violence: Mediations on War in Brazil”
“Cidade
de Deus” and “Falcão — Meninos
do tráfico” are case studies in the equivocal
role media images play in the representation of narcotrafficking
in Brazil and the kids who act as “soldiers” in
the drug distribution structure. These films — which
portray the “kids’ point of view” — provide
a counterpoint to the flattened image of the favelas held
by the Brazilian upper classes. The result, as witnessed by
the polemics which surrounded the two films, remains ambiguous:
they reproduce a stereotype (all favela kids are dealers),
while at the same time providing provide inclusion to some
individuals who would otherwise have remained excluded and
invisible or who would have been seen as enemies of society.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

“Suburbia in the U.S. and Gated Communities
in Brazil: A Comparative Perspective”
The past decades have seen the rapid spread of large, master-planned
enclosed neighborhoods for the upper and middle-classes in
many metropolitan areas of Brazil. These communities — which
can also be seen in other parts of Latin America and across the
globe — bear great similarities to suburban
spatial arrangements in the U.S. Professor Patriota de Moura will explore the
combinations of local and global processes which influence suburban
lifestyles and imaginaries.

“Social Movements in Bolivia 2000–05:

The 2000 water war in Bolivia marked the beginning of a series
of social movements including the coca war, the tax war and
finally the massive mobilizations of the gas war which toppled
two presidents and led to the presidency of Evo Morales, the
leader of the coca growers. Prof. Arnold will analyze the tactics

interpretations of these events. Finally, she will consider
the positioning of the movements in light of the upcoming Constituent

"Brazil and the Global South: Making Global Governance Work"

The
economic rules created by global governance institutions
like the World Trade Organization and the policy prescriptions

trying to change global rules and policies to the benefit
of the South. On Thursday, May 4, the Center for Latin American
Studies will host a panel discussion on the future of global
economic governance. Peter Evans and Harley Shaiken of UC
Berkeley will join in a panel with two Brazilian experts
on global governance issues. Jorge Avila has been centrally
involved in recent negotiations designed to construct a new
global regime for intellectual property. Leonardo Burlamaqui,
of the Universidade Cândido Mendes in Rio de Janeiro,
