Book Synopsis
A collection of essays addressing what type of democracy may result from the constraints and opportunities that arise from neoliberalism. Contributors demonstrate how the social problems of the region are linked both to a new economic development and the weakness of Latin American democracy.

Trade Review

“The essays in this excellent volume examine the nature of Latin America’s emerging democracies and market economies, with particular emphasis on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. . . . A very balanced and extremely thoughtful volume which enhances our understanding of post-authoritarian Latin America. The conceptual chapters at the start and finish are particularly insightful.”

—Howard Handelman Canadian Journal of Political Science


“In this insightful volume, the editors critically assess Latin America’s political economy in the 1990s, arguing that the convergence of extreme poverty, income inequality, crime, and the gray market present a paradox.”
