Abstract:
Abstract: Guatemala has experienced sustained democratic backsliding, including the manipulation of the 2023 electoral playing field. Yet, against the odds, Guatemalan citizens defied the ruling regime's electoral authoritarian strategy, voting an anticorruption reformer into power. This article analyzes Guatemala's (anti)democratic trajectory and explains how opposition actors resisted further backsliding during the 2023 electoral process. The authors argue that the Guatemalan regime reflects a "criminal oligarchy," and examine how rule-of-law advances prompted elite backlash that eviscerated democratic institutions. The unexpected 2023 electoral outcome, however, illustrates the possibilities of exploiting fissures in the criminal-oligarchic coalition to arrest authoritarian consolidation.

Abstract:
In this article I examine the legal framework for addressing violence against women in post war Guatemala. Since the signing of the Peace Accords in 1996, judicial reform in Guatemala has included the passing of laws in the area of women‘s human rights, aimed at eliminating discrimination and violence against women. These laws constitute a response to and have occurred concurrently to an increase in violent crime against women, particularly in the form of mass rapes and murders. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Guatemala‘s Metropolitan Area, this paper juxtaposes the laws for addressing violence against women to Guatemalan women‘s complex, multilayered and multi-dimensional life experiences. The latter expose the limitations of strictly legal understandings of the phenomenon of gender-based violence, and highlight the need for broad social justice approaches that take into account the different structures of violence, inequality, and injustice present in women‘s lives.

Abstract:
This article explores the reasons for the spread of vigilante justice (linchamientos) in contemporary Guatemala. It investigates three specific linchamientos and suggests that the roots of such vigilante justice lie in a collapsing peasant economy, insecurity of all sorts, and an unravelling of the social fabric in rural communities through the militarisation of rural Guatemala.The article also argues that linchamientos are caused partly by a conflict over the attempts by the Guatemalan state to impose a certain type of order in rural Guatemala. It discusses the literature on customary law, in Guatemala and in various other locales around the world, and suggests that attempts to impose a state sanctioned legal system without adequate provision for customary law has helped contribute to a perception that the legal system is illegitimate, not just incompetent.

Abstract:
In March 2013, at the age of 89, Efraín Ríos Montt became the first former head of state to ever be convicted of genocide by a national tribunal. After prior failed attempts to try him for this crime, his conviction to 80 years in prison was hailed as a victory both in Guatemala and abroad. Just ten days later, Guatemala’s Constitutional Court annulled the verdict and ordered a second trial. Having since been deemed mentally unfit to stand for trial, he will be tried in a closed quarters special proceeding in January 2016, but if found guilty, will not be sentenced. This article explains why Guatemalan national courts tried the case against Ríos Montt, and discusses the historical factors that led to the trial, questioning whether they are replicable in other countries. It argues that the necessary elements for a successful implementation of that conviction were present in Guatemala, but suggests that the political climate was inadequately negotiated in order to prevent the subsequent annulment of the verdict.

Abstract:
Towards the end of the 20th century Guatemala embarked on an ambitious rural electrification plan: central planners in the Ministry of Energy and Mines hope to connect 90% of homes to the national electricity grid by 2004. Energy for the increased demand comes from floating power plants anchored in Guatemala's Pacific port, a new coal-fired power plant, and numerous small-scale hydroelectric plants. So far, rural electrification, in terms of connected households, has proceeded to plan. However, the success of the rural electrification program belies energy realities and the development needs of rural Guatemala. Data from in-depth interviews and household surveys in Ixcán, Guatemala, show that rural residents prefer other forms of development—like the introduction of potable water, or improved schooling. Electricity, farmers state, only provides rural families with a few hours of light at night because they cannot afford to pay for appliances or for increased consumption of electricity. Fieldwork in rural areas also reveals that the introduction of electricity will not change patterns of firewood consumption; firewood is the basic survival fuel for most rural Guatemalans. Development funds may be better spent on locally run and organized forestry initiatives to ensure reliable sources of firewood for the future.

Abstract:
This article covers the current research vacuum on how Guatemala partially conducts forest preservation through community concessions. Our paper starts its analysis by synthesizing the private property-rights approach environmentalist theory and the community concession theory. It is argued that the shared common private property as a community arrangement can turn conflicts into potential opportunities for the involved parties to solve the existing environmental problems by win-win games. Based on the above theoretical views, our study extends the scope to the modern and democratic municipals’ forest preservation in Guatemala, as previous research mainly focused on how the Guatemalan traditional indigenous communities have conducted forest preservation. Our empirical results show that the in-force forest concessions in the Maya Biosphere Reserve have achieved the Guatemalan government’s forest conservation target in recent years. However, as the Guatemalan forest concession arrangements are just usufructs and the state still owns forest titles, the current Guatemalan forest concession could reverse the result of the limited, decentralized forest reform. In this regard, we suggest that Guatemala state should privatize all these forests to the concessions’ communities and firms. If the results are positive, we propose the Guatemalan government further apply the decentralization forest policy to the whole country.

Abstract:
In 2008, Guatemala passed the Law against Femicide and Other Forms of Violence against Women, establishing the gender-based killing of women (femicide) as a unique crime. Since then, over 9000 Guatemalan women and girls have died violent deaths. How do Guatemalan institutions and publics react to these women’s murders, and what do these reactions reveal about the impacts of legislative reform for individual victims, Guatemalan society, and criminal justice institutions? To answer these questions, we analyze state, media, and public reactions to three high-profile femicides that took place after the 2008 VAW Law. We trace the criminal justice response and legal developments following each femicide, and couple this with an analysis of newspaper coverage and social media commentary about the case. We find that despite the passage of new legislation and the creation of new institutions, various weaknesses in the Guatemalan criminal justice system undermine the impacts of reforms. These weaknesses in the criminal justice system produce three types of injuries: (1) individual injuries by hurting victims and their families; (2) public injuries by diverting public attention away from reflections about social norms and VAWG; and (3) institutional injuries by reinforcing the public’s distrust of the criminal justice system.

Abstract:
This essay explores the notions of vergüenza (shame) in two books about Maya law in postwar Guatemala. In contrast to a common view of shame, the essay shows that the books portray vergüenza not only as a negative feeling that people get when they violate the moral order; they also portray it as a positive character trait that all individuals in a community should ‘have’ and can also ‘lose.’ The essay argues that this way of seeing shame allows us to understand better the use of xik’a’y, that is, the practice of publicly lashing wrongdoers advocated by some indigenous communities in Guatemala.

Abstract:
Guatemala has a population of 17 million residents of which 41% are Maya; 1.77% are Xina people; 18% are of European descent; and 41% are of mixed indigenous and European ancestry. For several centuries the legacy of indigenous peoples in Guatemala has been under siege. There is overwhelming evidence that the indigenous peoples of Guatemala, in their history, have suffered from colonialism, economic imperialism, genocide, crimes against humanity, dispossession of their lands and resources, criminal gangs, and problems related to climate change. The above issues are examined within the framework of international law. International law and organizations could help to rescue their culture which will benefit all of humanity.

Abstract:
Guatemalan law mandates an iodine concentration from 30 to 700 parts per million (ppm) in all table salt offered in local commerce. Forty-four specimens of salt were collected in urban and rural sectors of a county on the outskirts of the capital of Guatemala and analysed for their iodine content by an iodate titration method. The concentrations ranged from 1 to 117 ppm, (mean ± SD 26.6 ± 21.7 ppm, median 24 ppm). Salt samples with iodine in both the adequate and the inadequate ranges were found in each of five subjurisdictions (township and four hamlets), and the median concentration was equivalent at all sites, without an urban-to-rural gradient. Similarly, the mandated iodine concentration was no more likely to be found in salt packaged under a brand name with a commercial label than in salt in a plain, unlabelled package. The findings place in relief the continuing difficulties in Guatemala in the effort to provide a universally protective level of iodine in table salt.

Abstract:
Drawing on sixteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in a poor and notorious neighbourhood, this dissertation examines how evolving dynamics of urban violence have affected life in a Guatemala City gang territory. The maras of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras - the gangs that help give these countries some of the world's highest homicide rates - have changed dramatically in their group cultures and criminal economies since they appeared in the 1990s. I trace what I call the mara's predatory turn: the elaboration of an extortion economy, which has had far-reaching consequences for the relationship between gang cliques and their barrios. This transformation has re-shaped the experience of chronic insecurity in the communities that maras operate from: inhabitants report that it is now less manageable, less predictable, and more frightening. They speak of a heightening of danger in their lives brought about by the decline of certain local norms and mechanisms that had previously moderated gang violence and bolstered community resilience. Local narratives of insecurity and decline illuminate when, how, and why violence disrupts and disorders social life. What many informants emphasized was not a cataclysmic appearance of violence in their lives, but rather a catastrophic breakdown in the mechanisms that had controlled it. In this distressing context, residents struggle to minimize their insecurity and to reclaim or create forms of order. I examine two principal ways that they seek to do so: by working to maintain a moral order based on narratives about the neighbourhood and its values or 'codes', and by looking to external providers of order in the state and its security forces. Exploring the complex relationships and interactions between inhabitants, gang members, and state forces in this barrio, I contribute to academic debates about local and state responses to insecurity in Latin America and propose modifications to prevailing models of state and criminal 'governance' in marginal urban communities.

Abstract:
Cette recherche explore le champ juridique de la condition des indigènes du Guatemala suite à l'arrivée des Espagnols dans le Nouveau Monde et à leur isolement dans des catégories juridiques spécialement créées pour eux par le droit indiano. Nous avons en particulier observé le passage de la catégorie d'esclave à celle de vassal libre de la Couronne à partir de la promulgation des Nouvelles Lois des Indes en 1542. Après la Guerre d'indépendance latino-américaine, les législations des nouveaux Etats-nations s'ajustent aux besoins des propriétaires agricoles qui, de la même façon que lors de la période coloniale, nécessitent de la main-d'oeuvre indigène. Cette thèse défend donc l'idée que, dans un contexte politique difficile, les indigènes du Guatemala, et en particulier les Mayas, ont su s'approprier le droit interne et le droit international pour défendre leurs intérêts. Ceci a été possible car, malgré des politiques esclavagistes et assimilationnistes violentes, ils ont conservé la réglementation juridique consuétudinaire. Nous entendons démontrer que c'est la conservation de leur droit qui leur a permis de s'organiser en tant que peuple sujet de droit qui a des droits et des devoirs. Ainsi, notre étude prouve que quand des opportunités politiques se sont présentées, les indigènes étaient déjà organisés et prêts à les utiliser comme socles sur lesquels ils s'appuient pour revendiquer leurs droits en tant que peuple indigène selon le droit international
This study explores the legal context concerning the situation of the indigenous peoples of Guatemala since the arrival of the Spanish in the New World and the segregation of these peoples into separate legal categories created for them by indiano law. In particular, we have paid close attention to the movement from the status of slave to that of free vassal of the Spanish crown beginning with the promulgation of the New Laws of the Indies in 1542. After the Latin-American War of Independence, the legislation of the new Nation-States starts to become adjusted to the needs of farm owners who, just as during the colonial period, require indigenous labourers. Our study argues that in a difficult political context, the indigenous peoples of Guatemala, and especially the Mayas, managed to re-appropriate internal law and international law in defence of their interests. This was made possible by the fact that, despite violent assimilation and slavery policies, they were able to preserve the use of customary law. We wish to show that it was by preserving this law that they were able to organise themselves as a legal people subject to rights and obligations. Thus, our study proves that when the political opportunities were presented, the indigenous peoples were already organised and ready to exploit these opportunities as a basis upon which they were able to demand their rights as indigenous peoples in accordance with international law

Abstract:
Nos últimos 50 anos, registrou-se na América Central um dos processos de integração econômica e regional mais antigos do continente americano. O comércio intra-regional aumentou e dinamizou-se significativamente a partir da formação, em 1960, do Mercado Comum Centro-Americano (MCCA), assim como processos de integração de acordos bilaterais, regionais e multilaterais de livre comércio. A partir desses acordos, surge uma nova perspectiva para estudar os efeitos do comércio internacional, segundo a Nova Geografia Econômica (NGE), a qual tenta explicar como a evolução da distribuição do tamanho das cidades pode ser representada por uma distribuição de Pareto, que deriva numa regularidade empírica chamada Lei de Zipf, que brinda uma explicação de como interagem as forças de aglomeração nos centros urbanos, que favorecem a atividade econômica e o comércio internacional em geral. Esta dissertação procura investigar a maneira como as mudanças na política comercial geraram impacto sobre a ordem no tamanho das cidades e a influência no crescimento econômico da Guatemala. Para esse propósito, foi estimado o coeficiente de Pareto no período compreendido entre 1921-2002, e como um valor agregado na proposta original, foram introduzidas duas não-linearidades na distribuição e uma medida de apoio, como o Índice Hirschman-Herfindahl, para medir o grau da concentração urbana. Por outra parte, foi utilizado um modelo de taxas de variação para medir o impacto de abertura comercial no período de 1960-2002 sobre o crescimento econômico resultante. Portanto, pode-se enfatizar que alterações no tamanho da amostra podem conduzir a diferentes interpretações. Os resultados obtidos apontam um leve crescimento na desigualdade e divergência, apesar do índice de concentração urbana mostrar uma queda gradual desde o ano de 1964, na época MCCA, até o ano de 2002. No caso do período de 1973-2002, pode-se verificar a Lei de Gibrat, que indica ser o crescimento das cidades independente do seu tamanho. Também se verifica a hipótese de que a concentração urbana tem uma relação inversa com a abertura comercial, e que ela está correlacionada de forma positiva com o crescimento econômico no período de 1921- 1964. Com esses resultados, pode-se mostrar o caminho futuro da evolução do crescimento urbano, onde as maiores cidades reduziram o seu crescimento e as médias e pequenas cidades cresceram a um ritmo mais acelerado que os grandes centros, impulsionadas pelo crescimento do comércio internacional.
Over the last 50 years, in Central America was developed one of the oldest processes of economic and regional integration of the American Continent. Since the establishment in 1960 of the Central American Common Market (CACM), intra-regional trade significantly increased under multilateral, bilateral and regional free trade agreements of the integration process. Today, a new perspective exists in the study of the effects of international trade offered by the New Economic Geography (NEG) that seeks to explain the evolution and distribution of the size of the cities that can be represented by Pareto's distribution, derived from a well-known empirical regularity known as the Zipf's Law, which promotes an explanation of how the agglomeration forces in the urban centers interact in favor of economic activity and international trade. This dissertation tries to investigate the way in which the changes in trade policy generate changes in the order of the size in the cities, thus influencing the economic growth of Guatemala. To this purpose Pareto's coefficient was estimated for the period between 1921 and 2002 and it was considered as an aggregated value and therefore the original proposal of two not-linealities were introduced in the distribution as support, as the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index to measure the degree of the urban concentration. On the other hand, a model of variation rates was used during the 1960 and 2002 period to measure the trade impact of the trade opening on the resulting economic growth. Therefore, a model of variation rates was used to measure the impact of the trade opening on the resulting economic growth during the 1960-2002 period. For that reason, it is possible to emphasize the alterations in the size of the sample that can achieve different interpretations. The results obtained point to a slight growth in inequality and divergence, even though the index of urban concentration shows a gradual fall from 1964 during the CACM period up to 2002; which otherwise means that small cities grew at a smaller rate than the larger cities did. In the case of the 1973-2002 period, it is possible to verify Gibrat's Law which indicates that the growth of the cities is independent to its size. Also the hypothesis is verified that the urban concentration has an inverse relation with the trade opening and that the urban concentration is correlated in a positive form with the economic growth during the 1921-1964 period. With these results it is possible to show the future way of the evolution of urban growth where major cities would reduce its growth, and the middle and small cities will grow further at a more accelerated rate than the major cities driven by the growth of international trade.

Abstract:
Après la commission de violations des droits de l’homme et du droit international humanitaire et dans le cadre parfois d’une transition ou d’une situation post conflictuelle difficile, les Commissions vérité ont été de plus en plus créées au sein des Etats. Parce qu’elles sont destinées à l’examen de violations de règles établies en droit international, se pose la question de leur rapport avec ce droit. Par leurs spécificités formelles et la flexibilité de leurs règles, leur utilisation du droit international et leur prise en compte des victimes, elles constituent un cadre particulièrement novateur dédié à l’examen des violations des droits de l’homme et du droit international humanitaire. Cependant, instances non judiciaires et eu égard aux évolutions du droit international, elles conduisent à s’interroger sur la responsabilité pour ces violations et des obligations internationales de l’Etat à cet égard, et à exiger la mise en œuvre de la responsabilité pénale pour la commission des violations les plus graves qu’elles ont constatées
In time of transition or in post conflict situations, many truth Commissions have been increasingly created within many States to deal with a past caracterised by many human rights and international humanitarian law violations. Because they are dedicated to investigate violations of established rules of international law, the question emerge on their relationships with international law. Their formal characteristics and their flexibility, their use of international law and the focus and attention they give to the victims of these violations, make them appear to be an innovative mean allowing specific review of violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. However, because there are non-judicial bodies and taking into consideration the developments of international law, they raise questions about responsibility for these violations and international obligations of the State in this regard, and lead to the requirement of prosecution and the implementation of criminal liability for the serious violations they reported

Abstract:
This chapter describes Guatemalan perspectives on the Hague Principles. In Guatemala, the sources of Private International Law for international commercial contracts are: (i) international treaties, comprised of: the Convention on Private International Law (Bustamante Code) and the Inter-American Convention on General Rules of Private International Law (Second Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law); and (ii) national laws. In general terms, the Guatemalan private international law regime applicable to international commercial contracts recognizes the ability of parties to a contract to choose the applicable law. Notwithstanding, important differences deriving from such regime may apply, and will ultimately depend on the type of dispute resolution mechanism the parties are using: litigation or arbitration. Currently, there are no on-going revisions or proposed revisions of the Guatemalan national laws or international treaties that provide rules of private international law for international commercial contracts. In the event that the rules of private international law would be revised, the Hague Principles could play a role, as they facilitate the legislative body’s task of creating a new statute and put forward the most advanced developments in the matter. For this to happen, however, the Hague Principles should be disseminated and made available and known to all relevant parties.

Abstract:
Abstract The trust was first regulated, without defining it, in the National Constitution of the Republic of Guatemala in 1945 (not in force today), which in its section 28 established that Anyone can freely dispose of his assets, as long as doing so does not contravene the law. The fiduciary substitutions (vinculaciones) are totally prohibited, as any mort-main institution, with the exception of the foundations destined to charity, artistic or scientific establishments or purposes, which must be approved by the government. The creation of trusts is authorized which do not last in excess of 25 years; in all cases carried on by a bank or credit institution authorized to do business in the Republic. This authorization does not extend in any form to religious or monastic congregations, nor to priests or ministers of any religion. The term can only be extended when it is in favor of the incurably sick or the legally incapable.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the process of a single case of atrocity criminalization—Guatemala in 1973—to further verify the causal mechanisms of the book’s technocratic legal borrowing thesis. It formulates and tests a set of empirical predictions that speak to the observable implications of the theory’s causal mechanisms. Using a combination of primary sources, secondary sources, and elite interviews, it finds strong support for these predictions. First, the idea to include atrocity laws in the 1973 Guatemalan criminal code likely originated with its technocratic author, Gonzalo Menéndez de la Riva, and not with international organizations, civil society organizations, or government policymakers, as alternative theories would predict. Second, two types of influence likely shaped Menéndez de la Riva’s choices to include atrocity laws: (1) the emulation of other codes from the region that were highly regarded among his professional community, and (2) professional ideas about the importance of adopting national atrocity laws that spread to the region through prominent Latin American scholars linked to the International Association of Penal Law. Finally, the Guatemalan government likely approved these laws because they perceived them as low-stakes, technical features of a modernization project, and not because they intended them to appeal to international actors or the political opposition, as alternative theories would predict.

Abstract:
El artículo propone el análisis del traslado de la ciudad de Guatemala de 1773 a 1776, debido a los terremotos acaecidos en el Valle de Panchoy, hoy La Antigua Guatemala. Al identificar este hecho histórico, muy singular en su género, se interpreta cómo el sistema de gobierno, dentro del contexto ideológico monárquico de su época, conformaba la nueva ciudad en un esquema político-social, que le permitía propiciar una reorganización de las clases políticas y sociales sobre un nuevo tejido urbano, con el fin de reposicionar el régimen oficial y proyectar la imagen necesaria de ciudad, así como la oportunidad de debilitar el poder económico eclesiástico, a través del traslado de la Ciudad, para la realización de una reestructuración social. The paper proposes the analysis of the transfer of Guatemala City from 1773 to 1776, due to the earthquakes in the Panchoy Valley, La Antigua Guatemala today. By identifying this historical fact, very unique in its kind, it is interpreted how the system of government, within the ideological context of his time monarchist, formed the new city in a socio-political scheme that allowed them to promote a reorganization of politic and social classes, in a new urban fabric, in order to the reposition of the political system, and to project the image of the city needed, and also to take the opportunity to weaken the ecclesiastical economic power, through the transfer of the city, for the realization of social restructuring.

Abstract:
Esta comunicación tiene la intención de explorar la relación que existe entre la arquitectura, tanto permanente como efímera, con las mentiras a través de un análisis de su presencia en determinadas obras tanto en México como en otras latitudes desde el siglo XVII hasta el presente. Con respecto al vínculo entre la arquitectura permanente y lo simulado, se han considerado primero las cinco formas de verdad en arquitectura propuestas por el arquitecto mexicano José Villagrán García para después abordar el populismo apoyado por figuras como Robert Venturi; las ciudades del espectáculo y los parques de diversiones analizados por García Vázquez; y la idea de la tematización admitida por John Hench. Referente al lazo entre arquitectura efímera y lo falso, hemos revisado ciertos arcos del triunfo mexicanos como el diseñado por Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz; algunas fachadas ficticias edificadas en España y Guatemala durante el siglo XVIII; los pueblos Potemkin originados en Crimea y construidos después en otros países. Finalmente, examinamos la relación entre la escenografía y lo falso desde la óptica de los escenógrafos mexicanos Alejandro Luna y Jorge Ballina Graf.

Abstract:
The Casa K’ojom in La Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, houses a unique collection of physical objects and audiovisual materials devoted to Mayan cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. What began as a private collection has evolved into a museum where thousands of visitors have learned about Mayan culture and music. This paper highlights the development and care of the collections from the perspective of the Casa K’ojom’s founder and current director, Samuel Franco Arce. It reviews the steps he is taking to preserve the collection’s analogue and digital material for the future, all the while not neglecting important non-digital artefacts. It also proposes future solutions to issues within an archive that has to address constantly changing technologies, user needs, audiovisual formats and intellectual property rights laws.

Abstract:
The Leveraged Freedom Chair (LFC) is a low-cost, all-terrain, variable mechanical advantage, lever-propelled wheelchair designed for use in developing countries. The user effectively changes gear by shifting his hands along the levers; grasping near the ends increases torque delivered to the drive-train, while grasping near the pivots enables a larger angular displacement with every stroke, which increases angular velocity in the drivetrain and makes the chair go faster. This paper chronicles the design evolution of the LFC through three user trials in East Africa, Guatemala, and India. Feedback from test subjects was used to refine the chair between trials, resulting in a device 9.1 kg (20 lbs) lighter, 8.9 cm (3.5 in) narrower, and with a center of gravity 12.7 cm (5 in) lower than the first iteration. Survey data substantiated increases in performance after successive iterations. Quantitative biomechanical performance data were also measured during the Guatemala and India trials, which showed the LFC to be 76 percent faster and 41 percent more efficient during a common daily commute and able to produce 51 percent higher peak propulsion force compared to conventional, pushrim-propelled wheelchairs.

Abstract:
Con el objetivo de explorar metodologías innovadoras que faciliten la obtención de información sobre la calidad del cemento, se implementó el método de identificación de “Estructura cristalina parcial o desconocida” (PONKCS) por difracción de rayos X para determinar el contenido de puzolana, o materiales puzolánicos, siendo este un material compuesto por una parte amorfa de difícil cuantificación, cuarzo y otros minerales asociados, para lo cual se realizó una correlación lineal entre el contenido de puzolana y la determinación del contenido de residuo insoluble (IR). Es importante tener en cuenta que este es un método semicuantitativo y es necesario tener muestras de la puzolana utilizada en los cementos que se analizan. Este proyecto es el inicio del uso de la difracción de rayos X (XRD) como herramienta para predecir rápidamente el comportamiento químico y físico de los cementos agregados en Guatemala.

Abstract:
Guatemala no ha logrado atraer suficiente inversión para impulsar una sociedad más próspera e inclusiva, pese a contar con abundantes recursos e indicadores económicos positivos. El país destaca entre las economías de la región por tener crecimiento económico sostenido, cuentas fiscales balanceadas, una política monetaria creíble y una sólida posición externa. Sin embargo, pocos han sido los avances en la reducción de brechas sociales. La falta de inversión social y productiva ha sido uno de los aspectos clave para este resultado, pues ha afectado el acceso a servicios básicos y limitado el crecimiento de las empresas. Este documento identifica las oportunidades más significativas para el desarrollo de Guatemala y propone tres pilares de inversión: la gente, el tejido empresarial y las instituciones.

Rueda, Fabio, and Jaime Alfredo Bonet. Esfuerzo fiscal municipal en Guatemala. Inter-American Development Bank, March 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010000.

Full text
Abstract:
En este trabajo se analiza el esfuerzo fiscal que realizan los municipios guatemaltecos sobre el recaudo de su principal ingreso tributario, el Impuesto Único Sobre Inmuebles (IUSI). Los resultados del estudio indican que el esfuerzo fiscal municipal es bajo y lejano a su potencial en el caso del IUSI. En gran parte, esta situación se origina por la subvaloración de los avalúos catastrales, la cual se produce principalmente por tres razones: i) la alta tasa de descuento que se aplica a los valores comerciales, ii) la escasa capacidad local para realizar los avalúos, que lleva a que la práctica común sean los auto avalúos sin verificación alguna y iii) el pobre registro de los bienes inmuebles. A su vez, el análisis de la información permite afirmar que la recaudación del IUSI registra una distribución espacial muy desigual: una alta concentración alrededor del área metropolitana de la ciudad capital y el resto del país con un pobre desempeño. Existe un espacio importante para aumentar la recaudación del IUSI a través de la optimización del registro, la actualización de los avalúos, algunos cambios en las regulaciones vigentes y mejoras en la administración del tributo.

A partir de un análisis de la política económica y los cambios de política fiscal en la última década, de la evolución del sistema impositivo, los instrumentos tributarios y sus efectos recaudatorios y redistributivos, el presente estudio sostiene que los reiterados intentos infructuosos de reforma tributaria generan un desgaste anímico en la administración tributaria y una desorientación en los contribuyentes sometidos a frecuentes cambios de legislación. Los autores proponen concentrar esfuerzos en aplicar con más rigor la legislación existente con una administración tributaria más eficaz, manteniendo al mínimo indispensable las modificaciones legales.

Abstract:
Este documento aplica el marco analítico de diagnóstico de crecimiento para identificar las restricciones más activas que impiden un crecimiento económicomás acelerado en Guatemala y su convergencia con los niveles de ingreso de otros países de la región. La evidencia muestra que el aumento de la inseguridad, así como también las debilidades (y el deterioro) del contexto institucional, especialmente en lo que atañe al cumplimiento de la ley, la corrupción, la rendición de cuentas y algunas áreas del marco burocrático para hacer negocios parecen ser la restricción más activa para el crecimiento económico. También se encontraron muy bajos niveles de capital humano; la falta de salud y educación es un obstáculo central que limita la inversión y el desempeño económico. Los déficits de capital humano son más graves en el caso de las mujeres, la población indígena y las áreas rurales. El diagnóstico muestra que los altos costos de la energía, y la baja cobertura de electricidad y saneamiento en el área rural constituyen una restricción importante. Asimismo, el análisis revela que la calidad del transporte vial se ha deteriorado debido a la falta de mantenimiento. Finalmente, el documento presenta algunas recomendaciones de política para acelerar y sostener el crecimiento económico de Guatemala.
