Manuel Ortega Hegg. The autonomy régime in Nicaragua: historical contradictions and recent arguments.
This article sets forth the singularity of Nicaragua within the Latin-American context as it is a self-governing country due to socio-ethnic reasons. The experience of Nicaragua can not be separated from the so-called regularities of the ethnic problematic, although it presupposes its own characteristics, The author explains these characteristics within the accomplishments of the Nicaraguan ethnic matter and it summarizes the main arguments when the autonomous government was authorized; the argument regarding its solution and the one of the citizens rights in the autonomous areas. Straight afterwards, the author gets involved in some of the contradictions and recent arguments; the autonomy as a government policy against autonomy as a State policy; the party system and the regional autonomy; the minority of interethnic contradictions and the contradictions amongst historical problems as well as the immediate expectatives of solution. Finally, the author states that the autonomous government implies very deep transformations in the traditional states and nations, but it also implies the institutionalization of new values which will guide new practices amongst multiethnic social performers.

Autodeterminación ¿para quién? La encrucijada quebequensehot!

Pierre Beaucage. Self-determination, for whom? The quebecois croosroads.
In Canada, the movement for autonomy and self-government which developed among the indigenous nations, mostly during the last three decades, met not only with State power, but also with the independentist quebecois movement which grew during the same period. At the political level, the latter is now mostly represented by the Parti Quebecois, in power in Quebec, where the majority of Canada’s six millions French-speakers live. This article first explores the historical roots of the Canadian intricate pattern of interethnic relations. While Spain conquered, France and England had to ally with Indian nations, and the profitability of the fur trade required that natives retained autonomy over vast territories. After the British conquest of New France, treaties, not war, were made with Amerindians regarding the cession of land. In a second part, the article defines the present political context of this double struggle for autonomy and tries to identify the possible scenarios for the near future.

Reseña - Gobiernos pluriétnicos: la constitución de regiones autónomas en la Costa Atlántica-Caribe hot!

María de Lourdes Figueroa Romero - Tras la pérdida de las elecciones por los sandinistas en 1990, y de la asunción de un gobierno que exaltaba los viejos estilos de la burguesía comercial nicaragüense, se inició un acelerado proceso de desarticulación de las transformaciones revolucionarias en Nicaragua. La definición de una política económica neoliberal trajo también aparejada una nueva racionalidad productiva: la Costa Atlántica- Caribe, con sus grandes recursos productivos, como históricamente lo había sido, era nuevamente atractiva para los planes centralizadores gubernamentales. El desarrollo de un modelo de economía extractiva y desnacionalizadora por parte del gobierno central, supuso inmediatamente una sombra de regresión sociopolítica sobre las aspiraciones autonomistas de los costeños miskitos, ramas, garífunas, sumus-mayagnas, negros y mestizos. La autonomía es, en más de un sentido y según lo que comenta Miguel González, un logro sandinista, por lo que la sociedad regional tendría que enfrentar nuevos embates del gobierno central, del Estado nicaragüense.
