The article titled "Micro processes of construction and deconstruction of democracy" analyzes the origins and evolution of democracy throughout history. It highlights that Greek democracy, precursor to modern democracy, only included privileged sectors in decision-making. Throughout the centuries, the struggle for equality and civil rights has led to advances in democratic participation through peaceful, institutional, slow, and persistent processes. The article also presents studies on female representation in the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, the fight for democracy in the Tosepan Pajti Health Cooperative in Mexico, transparency in public policies, and censorship in entertainment. Additionally, it analyzes the case of the patrimonialization of petroglyphs in Colombia and cooperativism in Argentina. Lastly, it examines the intervention of the State and international organizations in the training of Social Work professionals in Costa Rica and the construction of peace and democracy in the narratives of boys and girls in Colombia.

The aim of this text is to analyze the different ideologies that gave birth to the 1910 constitutional reform in Colombia, and pointing the main changes that arose in contrast to the Constitution of 1886, bot in its organic and dogmatic part. For the purpose of studying the changes in the organic part, I took as reference three topics on which there was major debate during the National Constitutional Assembly: powers of the president, judicial independence and territorial organization. On its part, changes in the dogmatic part are related to the broadening of civil laws and prohibiting death penalty. The methodology used is the study of the influence of ideologies on the changes mentioned above, as well as the comparison of constitutional texts. The result shows that there was a change of ideology and with it a return to a broader democracy in an institutional sense, as well as a greater respect for citizen and civil rights. The contribution of the article is to show that the reform of 1910 changed the vision of the Constitution of 1886 and opened several democratic channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The legal institution of military jurisdiction has been constantly questioned by considering that it has been used to abuse and it has worked as a source of impunity in front of serious human rights violations. Before the discredit of Military Justice, the military jurisdiction has been traditionally restricted, but recently it suffered an amendment that has motivated critics from many sectors, reform which established new Military Justice bodies with functions that overlap their powers together to define conflicts of jurisdiction between the ordinary courts and the military justice system, leaving doubts about the consistency by which the aforementioned theme is treated. Due to these considerations, this research seeks to clarify whether the military criminal jurisdiction is a functional guarantee, as it is constitutionally and legally established, or whether on the contrary, in practice it has been distorted by the actions of the security forces and is rather a condition of impunity.

This is the final result of an investigation. This article seeks to analyse the discourse elaborated by the Colombian Government concerning the adoption of the text of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples within the General Assembly, on September 13th, 2007. In doing so, Stephen Edelson Toulmin and Michael Scriven's methods of argument analysis will be proposed, basically stressing on the clarification of some meanings, the (un)stated conclusions, the (un)stated assumptions, and an overall evaluation of the discourse. The main purpose of this document is to analyse the relationship between texts, co-texts, and contexts, and their influence within politics and international law. The analysis of these interactions would help policy-makers and academics gain more room for manoeuvre in regard to problem and priority-setting scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
