The right of persons with disabilities to vote is well-codified in international human rights law. Disability scholars, however, argue that persons with disabilities are frequently denied the right to vote. What are the recurrent concepts used by disability scholars to discuss this issue? From a content literature review, four main concepts are regularly used by authors to elaborate on voting rights in the context of disability: "political participation," "barriers," "electoral practices" that support or constraint the full and effective exercise of the right to vote, and "electoral-assistive devices" as technology solutions to assist voters with disabilities. Discussing all these concepts is uncommon in other literature reviews. Findings illustrate that an abundance of publications focuses on political participation of persons with intellectual or mental impairments. Such publications tend to concentrate only on statutory barriers. Less prevalent is academic literature regarding persons with other impairments, as well as procedural barriers. Even more sparse are publications elaborating on social practices. Similarly, assistive technology is not often discussed as a tool for the facilitation of the right to vote of persons with disabilities.

Expertos argumentan que, pese al marco legal, las personas con discapacidad no logran ejercer este derecho. ¿Cuáles elementos conceptuales son utilizados por expertos para discutir este tema? Con base en una revisión de literatura, cuatro conceptos son utilizados de manera recurrente por los autores: «participación política», «barreras», «prácticas electorales» que facilitan o limitan el derecho al voto y «dispositivos de asistencia electoral» como ayudas tecnológicas de asistencia. Otras revisiones de literatura no han abordado de manera integral todos estos conceptos. Los resultados de la revisión indican que una gran parte de la literatura se centra en discutir la participación política de las personas con discapacidad intelectual o psicosocial, así como en las barreras legales que estas enfrentan. La literatura disponible aborda en menor medida otro tipo de deficiencias y el tema de barreras procedimentales, es escasa la literatura disponible sobre «prácticas sociales» y el tema menos discutido por los expertos es el uso de la tecnología de asistencia para facilitar el ejercicio del derecho al voto.

El presente artículo indaga sobre los fundamentos y las características del discurso de desarrollo acuñado por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo a finales de la década de los sesenta del siglo pasado en América Latina. La perspectiva histórica que abordó, permitió comprender cómo desde la celebración del encuentro de gobernadores en Bogotá en 1969, el Banco adelantó una acción estratégica en la región basada en reformas institucionales y vinculadas con las agendas gubernamentales alineadas con las políticas de seguridad provenientes de Washington durante la guerra fría
