The Politics of Transnational Actors in Latin America: Power from
Afar explores the important issues of transnational actors and
their influence on institutions and people in Latin America,
raising profound questions of accountability, social justice, and
sovereignty. The text focuses on four particularly significant
groups that transcend national boundaries: the Catholic Church,
transnational corporations, transnational drug networks, and
transnational human rights networks. By comparing each of their
impacts on the region, Frederick M. Shepherd explores larger
questions about transnational power and how it has deeply
penetrated the nations of Latin America. The book's analysis delves
into attempts made over the last 100 years by citizens, social
movements, and governments to reassert a degree of control over
these transnational actors, setting up a framework to understand
how local, national, and global forces interact in a setting of
transnational dominance. The volume suggests that local and
national groups can use principles and power to bring about
equitable and just outcomes in relation to transnational actors,
and that, in some cases, transnational actors can be a part of
constructive change in Latin America. This concise volume will be
of interest to students of History, Latin American and Caribbean
Studies, and Political Science, as well as those interested in
20th-century Latin American politics and political history.
