State Building in Latin America diverges from existing scholarship
in developing explanations both for why state-building efforts in
the region emerged and for their success or failure. First, Latin
American state leaders chose to attempt concerted state-building
only where they saw it as the means to political order and economic
development. Fragmented regionalism led to the adoption of more
laissez-faire ideas and the rejection of state-building. With
dominant urban centers, developmentalist ideas and state-building
efforts took hold, but not all state-building projects succeeded.
The second plank of the book's argument centers on strategies of
bureaucratic appointment to explain this variation. Filling
administrative ranks with local elites caused even concerted
state-building efforts to flounder, while appointing outsiders to
serve as administrators underpinned success. Relying on extensive
archival evidence, the book traces how these factors shaped the
differential development of education, taxation, and conscription
in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru.
