| dc.description.abstract | La región de las Américas presenta un marcado contraste: mientras varios países de América Latina arrastran un legado histórico de corrupción sistémica, Estados Unidos y Canadá suelen caracterizarse por un estado de derecho más sólido. La evidencia muestra que no es posible trasladar mecánicamente las instituciones ni las políticas anticorrupción de estos dos países al contexto latinoamericano, sino que deben desarrollarse orgánicamente. Por ello, este dosier se concentra en América Latina y reúne diversas perspectivas analíticas y metodológicas para examinar los retos que enfrenta la región, así como para formular preguntas orientadas a comprender mejor las relaciones entre poder, instituciones y ciudadanía, así como el diseño de políticas públicas. Este artículo introductorio ofrece, primero, una panorámica del contexto actual de la corrupción y la anticorrupción en las Américas y, después, presenta una síntesis de los artículos que integran el dosier. | spa |
| dc.description.abstractenglish | The Americas exhibit marked contrasts: while several Latin American countries bear a historical legacy of systemic corruption, the United States and Canada are typically characterized by a stronger rule of law. Evidence shows that it is not possible to simply transfer the institutions or anti-corruption policies of these two countries to the Latin American context: rather, they should develop organically. For this reason, this special issue focuses on Latin America and brings together diverse analytical and methodological perspectives to examine the challenges the region faces, as well as to formulate questions aimed at better understanding the relationships between power, institutions, and citizenship and at improving the design of public policies. This introductory article first offers an overview of the current context of corruption and anti-corruption in the Americas and then presents a synthesis of the articles included in this issue. | eng |
