A partir, fundamentalmente, de los análisis de caso y los datos que ha sistematizado el Observatorio Social de América Latina (OSAL), nuestra propuesta gira en torno a dos preguntas centrales: ¿qué características presenta la noción de ciudadanía en las luchas sociales latinoamericanas recientes?, y ¿qué importancia adquiere dicha dimensión para la consecución de un propósito democrático?Buscando responder ambas, hemos dividido la exposición en tres apartados. En el primero se exploran los elementos que han favorecido el reposicionamiento de la noción de ciudadanía, dentro del horizonte y discurso de las movilizaciones que a partir del año 2000 han aparecido en distintos puntos del subcontinente. En el segundo, se examinan las características más relevantes que desde nuestro punto de vista hilvanan su diversidad. Y, finalmente, en el último se desarrollan las razones por las cuales consideramos que la noción de ciudadanía ocupa un lugar estratégico en la lucha social latinoamericana de este inicio de milenio.

During the first decade of the century, Evo Morales and other leftists took control of governments across Latin America. In the case of Bolivia, Morales was that country’s first Indigenous president and was elected following five years of popular insurrection after decades of neoliberal governance. Now We Are in Power makes the argument that the so-called Pink Tide should be understood as a passive revolution, a process that has two phases: a period of subaltern struggle from average citizens strong enough to culminate in a political crisis, which is followed by a time of reconciliation and transformation. Angus McNelly examines this movement as it unfolded and evaluates how passive revolution plays out over a prolonged crisis, ultimately demonstrating the inherent contradictions and complications of the process.

The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (IAASTD) looks realistically at how we could effectively use agriculture/AKST to help us meet development and sustainability goals. An unprecedented three-year collaborative effort, the IAASTD involved more than 400 authors in 110 countries and cost more than $11 million. It reports on the advances and setbacks of the past fifty years and offers options for the next fifty years. The results of the project are contained in seven reports: a Global Report, five regional Sub-Global Assessments, and a Synthesis Report. The Global Report gives the key findings of the Assessment, and the five Sub-Global Assessments address regional challenges. The volumes present options for action. All of the reports have been extensively peer-reviewed by governments and experts and all have been approved by a panel of participating governments. The Sub-Global Assessments all utilize a similar and consistent framework: examining and reporting on the impacts of AKST on hunger, poverty, nutrition, human health, and environmental/social sustainability. The five Sub-Global Assessments cover the following regions: Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) East and South Asia and the Pacific (ESAP) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) North America and Europe (NAE) Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
