The contributors to this authoritative volume analyze the impact of
political crises and social conflict on economic performance in the
Andean region of Latin America. The blend of theory and case
studies is also relevant for understanding other complex societies
in the developing world and transition economies. The book provides
illuminating insights on how to understand, and survive, the
complicated interactions between volatile politics, unstable
democracies, violence, social inequality and uneven economic
performance. Recent political economy theories are combined with
valuable quantitative and qualitative information on presidential
crises, breakdowns of democracy, constitutional reforms, quality of
institutions, and social inequality and exclusion to understand
actual country realities. Part I provides the conceptual framework
and a regional perspective of the book. Part II contains five
political economy country studies - Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru and Venezuela - written by leading scholars in the field and
former senior policymakers, including a former President. Together,
the chapters highlight the detrimental effects of political
instability and social conflict on economic growth and stability,
as well as the feedback effects from poor economic performance on
political instability and institutional fragility. The country
studies warn that narrow economic reforms that do not pay adequate
attention to politics, institutions and social structures are bound
to fail in bringing lasting prosperity and stability to complex
societies. Examining new and rich information on episodes of
political turmoil, military interventions, forced presidential
resignations, constitutional reforms and social uprisings, this
book will be required reading for all those interested in the
interface of politics and economic development.
