Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on revealing, in-depth interviews, Cecilia Menjívar investigates the role that violence plays in the lives of Ladina women in eastern Guatemala, a little-visited and little-studied region. While much has been written on the subject of political violence in Guatemala, Menjívar turns to a different form of suffering-the violence embedded in institutions and in everyday life so familiar and routine that it is often not recognized as such. Rather than painting Guatemala (or even Latin America) as having a cultural propensity for normalizing and accepting



violence, Menjívar aims to develop an approach to examining structures of violence-profound inequality, exploitation and poverty, and gender ideologies that position women in vulnerable situations- grounded in women's experiences. In this way, her study provides a glimpse into the root causes of the increasing wave of feminicide in Guatemala, as well as in other Latin American countries, and offers observations relevant for understanding violence against women around the world today.

Sommario/riassunto

Few papers have attempted to assess the role of “capacity,” especially in the area of  macroeconomic statistics. Consequently, we make an attempt to advance this literature  through the construction of a “statistical capacity building index,” and then test its  explanatory power on the cyclicality of government spending. Using panel data from 62  developing countries, we find evidence that improvements in this index are associated  with less procyclicality of government spending over the period 1990–2012; with the  significance of this relationship dependent upon the quality of administrative and technical  capacity of budgetary institutions.
