Resumo: | The objective of this work is to analyze the recent political evolution of Guatemala, against the backdropof the economic and political reordering produced by the 1996 peace accords, and authoritarian tendencies that have crossed the region in recent years. Specifically, it asks why the popular protests that overthrew the military presidentPérez Molina in 2015 did not pave the way for a further democratization of the country. On the contrary, it is argued that this process engendered a reaction from the ruling class that takes on the contours of an authoritarian reversal. This work is based on field research, but also resorts to journalistic material and the pertinent bibliography. The hypothesis of this research is that the state of permanent counterinsurgency that characterizes the independent history of the country is updated in the present. |

En concreto, se indaga por qué las protestas populares que derrocaron al presidente militar Pérez Molina en 2015, no allanaron el camino para una mayor democratización del país. Por el contrario, se argumenta que este proceso engendró una reacción de la clase dominante que toma los contornos de una reversión autoritaria. Este trabajo se basa en investigaciones sobre el terreno, pero también en material periodístico y bibliografía pertinente. La hipótesis de esta investigación es que el estado permanente de contrainsurgencia, que caracteriza la historia independiente del país, se reaviva en el presente.O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a evolução política recente da Guatemala, tendo como pano de fundo o reordenamento econômico e político produzido pelos acordos de paz de 1996, e tendências autoritárias que atravessam a região em anos recentes. Especificamente, indaga-se por que os protestos populares que derrubaram o presidente militar Pérez Molina em 2015, não abriram caminho para uma ulterior democratização do país. Ao contrário, argumenta-se que este processo engendrou uma reação da classe dominante que ganha os contornos de uma reversão autoritária. Este trabalho está embasado em pesquisa de campo, mas também recorre a material jornalístico e à bibliografia pertinente. A hipótese desta pesquisa é que se reatualiza no presente, o estado de contrainsurgência permanente que caracteriza a história independente do país.Revista KatálysisRevista KatálysisRevista Katálysis2023-10-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/9280610.1590/1982-0259.2023.e92806Revista Katálysis; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2023): Imperialismo, Revolução e Contrarrevolução na América Latina; 375-385Revista Katálysis; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2023): Imperialismo, Revolução e Contrarrevolução na América Latina; 375-385Revista Katálysis; v. 26 n. 3 (2023): Imperialismo, Revolução e Contrarrevolução na América Latina; 375-3851982-02591414-4980reponame:Revista Katálysis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/92806/54396Copyright (c) 2023 Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa dos Santos, Fabio Luis2023-10-20T19:27:03Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92806Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/oairevistakatalysis@gmail.com || kataly@cse.ufsc.br || revistakatalysis@hotmail.com1982-02591414-4980opendoar:2023-10-20T19:27:03Revista Katálysis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
