Chile: The Political Economy of Development and Democracy in the 1990s
ISBN: 9780333550519 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. In 1990, after almost 17 years of military rule, Chile became the only Latin American country where a democratic regime coexists with free market policies which actually work. The book explores this paradox, and it examines the prospects for future economic growth with income redistribution under free market rules and democratic politics. The author examines amongst other things, short-term policymaking, education, health, the labour market, women, the middle sectors, privatisation, market imperfections, the state, non-government organisations, external trade, the financial sector and the...

Moral Opposition to Authoritarian Rule in Chile, 1973-90
ISBN: 9780333633953 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. The book examines the political importance of moral opposition to authoritarian rule in Chile, 1973-90, as a challenge to the government's systematic human rights' violations. It was initially led by the Catholic Church, whose primate founded an organisation to defend human rights: the Vicariate of Solidarity (1976-92). The book assesses the impact of moral opposition as a force for redemocratisation by tracing the history and achievements of the Vicariate. It also argues that such moral matters are often underestimated in regime transition analysis.

Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America
ISBN: 9781107145948 / Angielski / Twarda / 574 str. Nearly four decades since the onset of the third wave, political parties remain weak in Latin America: parties have collapsed in much of the region, and most new party-building efforts have failed. Why do some new parties succeed while most fail? This book challenges the widespread belief that democracy and elections naturally give rise to strong parties and argues that successful party-building is more likely to occur under conditions of intense conflict than under routine democracy. Periods of revolution, civil war, populist mobilization, or authoritarian repression crystallize partisan...

Canada Looks South: In Search of an Americas Policy
ISBN: 9781442611085 / Angielski / Miękka / 391 str. Recent events in the western hemisphere have led to a dramatic shift in the strategic and political importance of Latin America. But with relations still cool between the United States and Cuba, and Venezuela becoming more distant every day, there is considerable potential for Canada - with its longstanding commitment to constructive engagement - to forge mutually beneficial relations with these nations as well as rising industrial and economic players such as Mexico and Brazil.

Elections, Violence and the Democratic Process in Jamaica 1944-2007
ISBN: 9789766373313 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Since the achievement of adult suffrage in 1944, Jamaican democracy has remained resilient. Fifteen general elections have been held; the results have been accepted by the contending parties and the democratic process has survived. Within the wider Latin American and Caribbean region, Jamaica has been a stable, functioning democracy BUT it has faced a number of significant challenges. In this book, Amanda Sives examines one of those key difficulties: the relationship between politics and violence in the former British colony involving supporters of the two main rival political parties, the...

The Limits of Trust: The Millennium Development Goals, Maternal Health, and Health Policy in Mexico
ISBN: 9780773551091 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. When the United Nations announced the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000, approximately half a million women worldwide died each year from complications associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The fifth MDG aimed to reduce the maternal mortality rate by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015, but by the target date, the goal had not been reached. In The Limits of Trust Lisa Nicole Mills investigates the reasons why Mexico in particular did not meet its objective. Focusing on the states of Guerrero, Chiapas, and Oaxaca, where maternal mortality rates are the highest in the country,...

Out in the Periphery: Latin America's Gay Rights Revolution
ISBN: 9780199356652 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Known around the world as a bastion of Catholicism and machismo, Latin America has emerged in recent years as the undisputed gay rights leader of the Global South. Even more surprising is that several Latin American nations have surpassed many developed nations, including the United States, in legislating equality for the LGBT community. So how did this dramatic and unexpected expansion of gay rights come about? And why are Latin American nations diverging in their embrace of gay rights, a point highlighted by the paradoxical experiences of Argentina and Brazil? Argentina, a country with a...

Transnational Politics in Central America

"Finally, a study that moves beyond abstract assertions of the importance of a transnational perspective to demonstrate compellingly why transnationalism matters in the specific context of Central America. This is a rich, interdisciplinary look at regional history, politics, and society--of immense value for students of Latin American studies and transnationalism alike."--Thomas Legler, coeditor of Promoting Democracy in the Americas Political theorists tend to write about the countries of Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and...

Beginning at the turn of the twenty-first century, these powerful movements using marches, occupation of space, social media organization, and more have given voice to marginalized citizens of Latin America whose lives have been upset by the falsity of a globalized economy, and provide hope in the continued fight for reform and civic justice.
In their highly detailed study, Maria Soledad Segura and Silvio Waisbord scrutinize the goals, tactics,... More than ever before, social movements throughout contemporary Latin America are successfully influencing and shaping media policy and reform. Beginn...

The Struggle for Mexico: State Corporatism and Popular Opposition
ISBN: 9780786465835 / Angielski / Miękka / 217 str. In the 1970s political and economic changes to the world order led to an emerging globalization credited with the ceding of state sovereignty to a de facto world government and with the anti-globalism movement directed at countering it. Mexico, however, has maintained the salience of the national unit in the form of the state as a ruling apparatus and as the target of organized, non-state, political opposition. This study examines the transformation of Mexico's social and political organization from state corporatism to transnationalized corporatism, a form distinguished by the effect that...

Populism in Latin America
ISBN: 9780817357092 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. This updated edition of Populism in Latin America discusses new developments in populism as a political phenomenon and the emergence of new populist political figures in Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela in particular. For more than one hundred years--from the beginning of the twentieth to the early twenty-first century--Latin American populists proved amazingly successful at gaining high office, holding on to power, maintaining their followings, and renewing their careers. They raised more campaign money, got more voters to the polls, and held followers' allegiances far better...

Judicial Institutions in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
ISBN: 9781900039307 / Angielski / Miękka / 123 str. The relevance of lawyers and jurists in the process of state-building in nineteenth-century Latin America has been widely acknowledged. This collection of essays assembles a series of studies dealing with the interaction between the legal world and the wider political, economic, social and cultural processes in which the transition from colonial status to independent nationhood took place. Rather than viewing this transition as a radical transformation of judicial institutions and practices, emphasis has been put upon the continuities between those two phases. The chapters range from general...

This America We Dream of: Rodo and Ariel One Hundred Years on
ISBN: 9781900039369 / Angielski / Miękka / 115 str. Jose Enrique Rodo (1871-1917) is a key figure in the history of Latin American culture. His best known work is 'Ariel', an influential essay published a hundred years ago in his native Montevideo. Partly inspired by Spain's defeat over Cuba and Puerto Rico two years earlier, 'Ariel' is the subcontinent's foremost call for a concerted Latin Americanism to counter the cultural impact of the United States, and has influenced later interpretations of that relationship. The essays gathered in this volume provide a complex view of Rodo and make a significant contribution to the current renewal of...
