Courting Corruption: The Logic of Judicial Politicization in Argentina

Throughout the Americas, prominent politicians often find themselves before the courts over corruption charges. The prosecution of corruption is central to political accountability–voters can only hold politicians accountable if the process of judging politicians' past actions is fair and produces information that voters trust. Partisan capture of the judiciary results instead in corruption probes that are manipulated to serve electoral interests. This talk will describe the behavior of the politicians and judicial actors who intervene in these processes and how the politicization of the judiciary hinders the role of the courts in electoral accountability.

The Surrendered. A Conversation with José Carlos Agüero and Charles Walker

The Surrendered. A Conversation with José Carlos Agüero and Charles Walker
The legacies of Peru’s “internal armed conflict” (1980–2000) between Maoist Shining Path insurgents and the government continue to haunt the country’s present. Among the many recent efforts to grapple with that past, José Carlos Agüero’s The Surrendered – a bestseller in Peru when it first appeared in 2015 – is one of the most thought-provoking. The son of two Shining Path militants, Agüero reflects on his parents’ militancy in a fragmented, moving, and at times lyrical memoir, newly translated into English by Charles Walker and Michael Lazzara. At this event, the author and Prof. Walker will be in conversation, followed by comments from Princeton political scientist Deborah Yashar and the New York-based Peruvian historian Renzo Aroni.
