This new edition brings Daniel C. Hellinger's brilliantly succinct
and accessible introduction to Latin America up to date for a new
generation of educators. In crisp detail, Hellinger gives a
panoramic overview of the continent and offers a unique balance of
comparative politics theory and interdisciplinary country-specific
context, of a thematic organization and in-depth country case
studies, of culture and economics, of scholarship and pedagogy.
Insightful historical background in early chapters provides
students with ways to think about how the past influences the
present. However, while history plays a part in this text,
comparative politics is the primary focus, explaining through fully
integrated, detailed case studies and carefully paced analysis.
Country-specific narratives are integrated with concepts and
theories from comparative politics, leading to a richer
understanding of both. Updates to this new edition include: *
Revisiting contemporary populism and the global emergence of
right-wing populism. * The pros and cons of extractivism; the
impact of Chinese investment and trade. * Contemporary crisis in
Venezuela; expanded treatment of Colombia and Peru. * The role of
the military; LGBTQ+ issues; corruption; violence; identity issues.
* New sections on social media, artificial intelligence, and big
data cyber technologies. * Examination of post-Castro Cuba; Costa
Rica's exceptionalism. * Broader study of environmental movements;
how governments relate to social movements. * Examination of
personalist parties; refugee and asylum rights. * Interventionist
policies of the current U.S. administration. * Early impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Comparative Politics of Latin America is a
thoughtful, ambitious, and thorough introductory textbook for
students beginning Latin American Studies at the undergraduate
level.
