The Political Economy of the Brazilian State, 1889-1930
ISBN: 9780292765115 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this first overview of the Brazilian republican state based on extensive primary source material, Steven Topik demonstrates that well before the disruption of the export economy in 1929, the Brazilian state was one of the most interventionist in Latin America. This study counters the previous general belief that before 1930 Brazil was dominated by an export oligarchy comprised of European and North American capitalists and that only later did the state become prominent in the country's economic development. Topik examines the state's performance during the First Republic...

Trade and Gunboats: The United States and Brazil in the Age of Empire
ISBN: 9780804740180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A hundred years ago, the United States first projected itself onto the international stage, hoping to stake out a sphere of influence in Latin America just as the largest of Latin American countries, Brazil, ending a 67-year-long monarchical regime, struggled to redefine its relationship to the world economy. Debates raged between liberals and corporatists, between free traders and protectionists. When the trajectories of these two unequal giants collided, their interaction revealed much about the international economic and political affairs of their day that bears upon the debates...

The Second Conquest of Latin America: Coffee, Henequen, and Oil During the Export Boom, 1850-1930
ISBN: 9780292781535 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Between 1850 and 1930, Latin America's integration into the world economy through the export of raw materials transformed the region. This encounter was nearly as dramatic as the conquistadors' epic confrontation with Native American civilizations centuries before. An emphasis on foreign markets and capital replaced protectionism and self-sufficiency as the hemisphere's guiding principles. In many ways, the means employed during this period to tie Latin America more closely to western Europe and North America resemble strategies currently in vogue. Much can be learned from analyzing the... Between 1850 and 1930, Latin America's integration into the world economy through the export of raw materials transformed the region. This encounte... |
