| contents | Violence and Justice in UNASUR’s Institutional History. From the Early Optimism to the Fragile Cooperation Combating Criminality Marcos Alan S. V. Ferreira Rodrigo de Souza Framento Política Violence Cooperation Regionalism Sovereignty Organized Crime This paper aims to understand how the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) has worked (or not) to promote policies to make progress in the fight against crime, criminal justice and citizen security in the period between 2012 and 2017. Although South America is regarded as a peaceful region by some researchers when it comes to interstate conflict, when looking at intrastate violence the region may be viewed as one of the most violent in the world. In this context, it is crucial to understand the role of regional organizations. Our work was grounded on the documental analysis of 34 minutes and official documents of the South American Council on Public Security, Justice and Coordination of Actions against Transnational Organized Crime (CSSCJDOT) of UNASUR. The results demonstrate that the CSSCJDOT was an innovation in bringing the debate of crime and violence to a regional organization, but its initial promises have not been fulfilled because of political changes in key member states, the excess of normativism in UNASUR and because of the crisis the organization currently undergoes. 2019 artículo científico 0121-5167 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16460717005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/164/16460717005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/164/16460717005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/164/16460717005/16460717005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/164/16460717005/movil 10.17533/udea.espo.n55a05 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=164 Estudios Políticos application/pdf Universidad de Antioquia Estudios Políticos (Colombia) Num.55 |
