Adams surveys the impact of transnational organizations and NGOs on
Latin American politics since 1990. The transition from military to
civilian rule in Latin American countries has benefited local
progressive forces, but resilient remnants favoring the past's
authoritarian politics have compelled organizations like the UN,
IMF, OAS, and World Bank to engage in various campaigns to deepen
democratic institutions and norms. Adams argues that to understand
current political transformations in the region, one must consider
the existing role of external organizations. Latin America is
offered as a prime example of the increased influence transnational
authorities have over political decisions that had long been the
exclusive prerogative of national governments. Beginning with the
Latin American experience, Adams reviews the contemporary character
of power and politics in the area, outlining how democratic
transitions have been limited. UN human rights and reform
initiatives are considered. Adams scrutinizes the work of the World
Bank, the IMF, and the Inter-American Development Bank to modernize
public administration, strengthen political institutions, enhance
transparency and accountability, and fortify civil society. He also
examines the work and impact and the Organization of American
States and various global citizens groups.
