Until the early 1970s Uruguay held a worldwide reputation as a democratic island in Latin AmerÂica, maintaining a collective execÂutive system that acquired for it the nickname of the "Switzerland of South America." The constituÂtional tradition was emphasized by a nonpersonalist and non-authoritarian executive, political stability, a high standard of living, and an advanced educational and cultural level. The military has shattered this established tradition. Over a two-year period its growing involveÂment in politics ended with absoÂlute control over the executive. The aim of this work is to anaÂlyze this transformation and conÂsider the major variables that have affected political developments in Uruguay. Internal factors are the respective influences wielded by the United States plus Uruguay's two most powerful neighbors, ArÂgentina and Brazil, as well as politÂical trends in the Latin American subsystem. Among the external inÂfluences are competing elites (the traditional political parties and the left-wing front), interest groups (universities, trade unions, the church, dominant economic secÂtors, and the mass media), and the urban guerrilla movement (the Tupamaros).Kaufman analyzes these factors within the context of the UruguayÂan economic and political strucÂture, and shows their significance through their effects on the perÂception of the military elite. In addition, he attempts to deÂtermine whether the army's deciÂsion to assume absolute power was strategic or a cumulative result of tactical decisions. Finally, he utilizes the accumulated data to test various hypotheses related to military intervention as an indeÂpendent variable.

The population of Uruguay is undergoing a slow but sustained aging process, driven by the demographic transition that started early in the twentieth century. While this reflects significant improvements in mortality and fertility trends, it also creates important challenges for the fiscal sustainability of some social policies and the economic trends in the medium and long term. Uruguay is currently going through the “demographic bond†? stage of this process, as the proportion of the population aged between 15 and 65 years old is peaking. This temporary situation creates the possibility of increasing the endowment of capital and labor force and entering a path of sustained economic growth. For this to happen, it is necessary to generate institutional, financial and fiscal conditions that promote larger savings and investment, to increase the productivity of the economy and sustain per capita GDP growth. This book studies the opportunities and challenges that the demographic transition poses for Uruguay ́s economy. Once the demographic bond has passed, population aging will have a significant impact on fiscal accounts, especially in social protection expenditures. This represent a serious policy challenge, demanding reforms to adapt the institutions and systems to a new demographic context. The main challenge for Uruguay in the next few decades will be to maintain a solid economic growth path in the context of a diminishing working-age population. This will require that labor force participation rates increase, particularly among women and older citizen, but also that those in the labor market increase their productivity. This will be achieved only through sustained growth of capital per worker ratio and the incorporation of innovations and technological developments that facilitate increased production of goods and services for the entire population.

Since the 1960s, the institution of the family has been changing in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Female labour force has increased, birth rates have dropped, divorce rates have risen and public acceptance of single parenthood and nonheterosexual lifestyles has become more prevalent. This thesis aims to examine these changes in the context of the 'second demographic transition' and to show how these rapid social and legal changes have been facilitated by the use of the family as a symbol during the dictatorial period, both for and against the regimes. The use of these symbols by the opposing forces of regime and resistance created a dialogue in which understandings of what it meant to be a father, a mother or a child were problematised, challenged, and transformed - and as these countries returned to democracy, the institution of the family also began to be democratised, with existing roles taking on new significance and new forms of family becoming destigmatised. By combining analysis of the dictatorial and transition periods with an examination of cultural representations of the family since the turn of the millennium, I will provide an overview of how this institution was understood, how these understandings were affected by the dictatorships and the resistance to them, and how the institution is understood in the Southern Cone today. I will also compare the situation in these three countries, explaining how and why the institution of the family has b.een understood differently and has changed differently across the different societies. This thesis will demonstrate how the once monolithic image of the family has been replaced by the concept of a diverse range of families, with different formations and different roles to suit varied lifestyles in an increasingly individualistic world.

Uruguay's population is slowly aging, driven by the demographic transition that started early in the 20th century. While this reflects significant improvements in mortality and fertility trends, it also creates important challenges for the fiscal sustainability of some social policies and for sustaining medium- and long-term economic growth. Uruguay is going through the "demographic dividend" stage of this process as the proportion of the population ages 15-65 peaks. This temporary situation creates the possibility of increasing the endowment of capital and the labor force and sparking sustained economic growth. For this to happen, institutional, financial, and fiscal conditions are needed that promote larger savings and investment. Demographic Change in Uruguay: Economic Opportunities and Challenges studies the opportunities and challenges that the demographic transition poses for Uruguay's economy. Once the demographic dividend has passed, population aging will have a significant impact on fiscal accounts, especially in social protection expenditures. This is a serious policy challenge, demanding reforms to adapt the institutions and systems to a new demographic context. The main challenge in the next few decades will be to maintain economic growth on a solid path as the working-age population declines. This will require that labor force participation rates increase, particularly among women and older people, but will also require that those in the labor market increase their productivity. This will be achieved only through sustained growth of the capital per worker ratio and the incorporation of innovations and technological developments that facilitate increased production of goods and services for the entire population.

This insightful new work analyses the attempts by Chile and Uruguay to resolve the human rights violations conflicts inherited from military dictatorships. The author focuses on how the post-transitional democratic governments dealt with demmands for official recognition of the truth about the human rights violations committed by the military regimes and for punishment of those guilty of committing or ordering those offences. Alexandra DeBrito sheds light on the political conditions which permitted - or prevented - the politics of truth-telling and justice under these successor regimes. This is the first study to make comparative assessment of human rights abuse in Uruguay and Chile in this way. The author contends that the experiences of these countries offer formative examples of attempts to tackle fundamental aspects of the policies of transition and democratization. She makes an original contribution to our understanding of the key political, legal, and moral issues involved.
