"Over the last twenty years Latin America has seen a definitive
movement toward civilian rule. Significant trade, fiscal, and
monetary reforms have accompanied this shift, exposing previously
state-led economies to the forces of the market. Despite persistent
economic and political hardships, the combination of civilian
regimes and market-based strategies has proved to be remarkably
resilient and still dominates the region. This book focuses on the
effects of market reforms on domestic politics in Latin America.
While considering civilian rule as a constant, the book examines
and compares domestic political responses in six countries that
embraced similar packages of reforms in the 1980s-Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. The contributors focus
on how ambitious measures such as liberalization, privatization,
and deregulation yielded mixed results in these countries and in
doing so they identify three main patterns of political economic
adjustment. In Argentina and Chile, the implementation of market
reforms has gone hand in hand with increasingly competitive
politics. In Brazil and Mexico, market reforms helped to catalyze
transitions from entrenched authoritarian rule. Finally, in Peru
and Venezuela, traditional political systems have collapsed and
civilian rule has been repeatedly challenged. The contributors
include Carol Wise (University of Southern California), Karen L.
Remmer (Duke University), Carol Graham (Brookings Institution),
Stefano Pettinato (United Nations Development Programme), Consuelo
Cruz (Tufts University), Juan E. Corradi (New York University),
Delia M. Boylan (Chicago Public Radio), Riordan Roett (Johns
Hopkins University), Martin Tanaka (Institute for Peruvian Studies,
Lima), and Kenneth M. Roberts (University of New Mexico). "
