Estado, despojo y derechos humanos

About this book

Honduran State has been deteriorating as a result of the institutional failure to guarantee the superior values ​​and interests adopted in the Constitution of 1982. And, although the supreme norm provides for mechanisms to promote the State by law, this ended up becoming a tool of dispossession at the service of minorities and vigorous powers. The five works that make up this work have in common to highlight, from different perspectives, the main features of the binary process of accumulation and dispossession to which the majority of the population has been subjected, due to the implementation of the neoliberal model since the 1990s, and which accelerated from 2009. Institutional deterioration, the role of "legality" in shaping the neoliberal state, the violation of human rights, the worsening of living conditions and the differentiated impacts on vulnerable groups such as women, the rural and Afro-Honduran population are, among others, the topics discussed in this book.
