This book challenges the wide-ranging generalizations that dominate
the literature on the impact of export-led growth upon Latin
America during the first export era. The contributors to this
volume contest conventional approaches, stemming from structuralism
and dependency theory, which portray a rather negative view of the
impact of nineteenth-century globalization upon Latin America. It
has been considered that, as a result of the role of Latin American
countries as providers of raw materials produced in enclaves
dominated by foreign capital, their participation in the world
economy has had adverse consequences for their long-term
development. This volume addresses a representative sample of
countries with varied initial conditions and resource endowments, a
diverse productive specialization, as well as different degrees of
integration to the world economy. This allows a direct comparison
among the different experiences within the region, which in turn
enables a more nuanced understanding of the contribution of exports
to economic growth and economic modernization. Seven national case
studies are presented - Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru,
Mexico and Bolivia - which offer an insight into the successes of a
region traditionally viewed as disadvantaged by globalization and
export-led growth. Winner of the Vicens Vives prize for the best
economic history book granted by the Spanish Economic History
Association.
