Against a broader backdrop of globalization and worldwide moves
toward political democracy, The New Politics of Inequality in Latin
America examines the unfolding relationships among social change,
equity, and the democratic representation of the poor in Latin
America. Recent Latin American governments have turned away from
redistributive policies; at the same time, popular political and
social organizations have been generally weakened, inequality has
increased, and the gap between rich and poor has grown. Hanging in
the balance is the consolidation and the quality of new or would-be
democracies; this volume suggests that governments must find not
just short-term programmes to alleviate poverty, but long-term
means to ensure the effective integration of the poor into
political life. The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America
bridges the intellectual chasm between, on the one hand, studies of
grassroots politics, and on the other, explorations of elite
politics and formal institution-building. It will be of interest to
students and scholars of contemporary Latin American politics and
society and, more generally, in the vicissitudes of democracy and
citizenship in the late twentieth-century global system.
Against a broader backdrop of globalization and worldwide moves toward political democracy, this collection of essays examines the unfolding relationships among social change, equity, and the democratic representation of the poor in Latin America.
