SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:SSRC-IFS Workshop: "The Will of the People"
DESCRIPTION:This workshop\, held at Columbia University\, is the fourth in a series of convenings organized as part of a collaboration between the SSRC’s Anxieties of Democracy program and our namesake European partner program\, Anxieties of Democracy\, at the Swedish Institute for Futures Studies. \nThe workshop explores the idea of popular sovereignty and how to define “the will of the people.” Questions addressed include: \nWhat does it mean for the people to be sovereign? What is “the will of the people”?  By what criteria and by whom should this will be ascertained\, judged\, and acted upon? What is a valid method to assess this “will” and how can biases and distortions caused by “wrong” methods of measurement be avoided? The “will” of the people is continuously changing: what forces and mechanisms play a role in this ongoing will-formation? \nThe workshop is generously supported by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and co-hosted by Columbia World Projects.
