This book, the inaugural publication in a multivolume series
entitled "Latin America in Global Perspective, " highlights the
necessity and feasibility of analyzing Latin American society and
politics within broad comparative frameworks.The rapidly changing
agenda for social science research on the region calls for the
rigorous application of new concepts and methodologies, especially
in light of the apparent exhaustion of the "dependency" paradigm.
The examination of broad themes, such as development strategies and
processes of democratization, can be facilitated through systematic
comparisons with other world regions, and the study of specific
issues--such as electoral behavior or social inequality--requires
the judicious use of quantitative measurement. The question,
therefore, is not only "what" to investigate but also "how."This
volume brings together original research by distinguished scholars
from a variety of countries. Analytical chapters explore
methodological strategies for cross-regional comparison,
intraregional comparison, and the application of rational choice;
topical chapters offer new approaches to the study of women, state
power, corporatism, and political culture. A concluding section
examines the political significance of public opinion research in
Mexico, Peru, and the former Soviet Union.
