How does globalization work? Focusing on Latin America, Yves
Dezalay and Bryant G. Garth show that exports of expertise and
ideals from the United States to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and
Mexico have played a crucial role in transforming their state forms
and economies since World War II.
Based on more than 300 extensive interviews with major players in
governments, foundations, law firms, universities, and think tanks,
Dezalay and Garth examine both the production of northern exports
such as neoliberal economics and international human rights law and
the ways they are received south of the United States. They find
that the content of what is exported and how it fares are
profoundly shaped by domestic struggles for power and
influence--"palace wars"--in the nations involved. For instance,
challenges to the eastern intellectual establishment influenced the
Reagan-era export of University of Chicago-style neoliberal
economics to Chile, where it enjoyed a warm reception from Pinochet
and his allies because they could use it to discredit the previous
regime.
Innovative and sophisticated, "The Internationalization of Palace
Wars" offers much needed concrete information about the
transnational processes that shape our world.
