This landmark work is the first sustained critique of Latin
American neostructuralism, the prevailing narrative that has sought
to replace "market fundamentalism" and humanize the "savage
capitalism" imposed by neoliberal dogmatism. Fernando Leiva
analyzes neostructuralism and questions its credibility as the
answer to the region's economic, political, and social woes. Recent
electoral victories by progressive governments in Latin America
promising economic growth, social equity, and political democracy
raise a number of urgent questions, including: What are the key
strengths and weaknesses of the emerging paradigm? What kinds of
transformations can this movement enact? Leiva addresses these
issues and argues that the power relations embedded in local
institutions, culture, and populations must be recognized when
building alternatives to the present order. Considering the
governments in countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Brazil,
Leiva examines neostructuralism's impact on global politics and
challenges whether this paradigm constitutes a genuine alternative
to neoliberalism or is, rather, a more sophisticated form of
consolidating existing systems.
