| Popis: | A preliminary version of this paper was presented at RedGob X Annual Meeting in Brasilia on 21st 22nd September, 2012. The author would like to thank Andrés Mejía Acosta for his insightful comments on a draft version of the text and both Salvador Martí i Puig and Mariana Llanos for their invaluable guidance throughout the research The aim of this paper is to identify how Presidents in the Central Andean Region have used Regimes of Exception in the first decade of the twenty first century. According to the doctrine, Regimes of Exception equate to a concentration of powers in the executive branch and the suspension of human rights to overcome an ‘exceptional threat’. In Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru, these mechanisms were used by military governments at different times throughout the 20th century to deal with unrest but they have not been studied by political scientists. This paper offers an exploratory analysis of the use given to these mechanisms by Presidents in the period between 2000 and 2010 |
