Latin American State Building in Comparative Perspective provides
an account of long-run institutional development in Latin America
that emphasizes the social and political foundations of
state-building processes. The study argues that societal dynamics
have path-dependent consequences at two critical points: the
initial consolidation of national institutions in the wake of
independence, and at the time when the 'social question' of mass
political incorporation forced its way into the national political
agenda across the region during the Great Depression. Dynamics set
into motion at these points in time have produced widely varying
and stable distributions of state capacity in the region. Marcus J.
Kurtz tests this argument using structured comparisons of the
post-independence political development of Chile, Peru, Argentina
and Uruguay.
