This edited collection examines the evolution of regional
inequality in Latin America in the long run. The authors support
the hypothesis that the current regional disparities are
principally the result of a long and complex process in which
historical, geographical, economic, institutional, and political
factors have all worked together. Lessons from the past can aid
current debates on regional inequalities, territorial cohesion, and
public policies in developing and also developed countries. In
contrast with European countries, Latin American economies largely
specialized in commodity exports, showed high levels of
urbanization and high transports costs (both domestic and
international). This new research provides a new perspective on the
economic history of Latin American regions and offers new insights
on how such forces interact in peripheral countries. In that sense,
natural resources, differences in climatic conditions, industrial
backwardness and low population density areas leads us to a new set
of questions and tentative answers. This book brings together a
group of leading American and European economic historians in order
to build a new set of data on historical regional GDPs for nine
Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. This transnational
perspective on Latin American economic development process is of
interest to researchers, students and policy makers.
