  Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

  Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

  This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

  Derechos Humanos, Democracia y Sistema Económico: mitos y realidades

  Llamada a contribuciones para libro colectivo internacional

  La “Red Iberoamericana de Investigadores sobre Ética, Derechos Humanos y Estado de Derecho” RIEDHED invita a la presentación de trabajos para la edición próxima de un libro colectivo internacional que se titulará “Derechos Humanos, Democracia y Sistema Económico: mitos y realidades”. El propósito de este libro consiste en descifrar rigurosamente los tipos de relaciones que se establecen a nivel social, político, jurídico y económico, entre los derechos humanos, la democracia y el sistema económico de libre mercado. Para lograr este objetivo, las propuestas deberán referirse preferentemente a casos específicos en los que se identifiquen las relaciones de tensión, y tal vez de complementariedad, entre los derechos humanos y otras áreas jurídicas específicas (regulaciones económicas, laborales, tributarias, procesales, administrativas, penales, civiles, etc.).
