This volume examines the ways in which the socio-economic elites of
the region have transformed and expanded the material bases of
their power from the inception of neo-liberal policies in the 1970s
through to the so-called progressive 'pink tide' governments of the
past two decades. The six case study chapters-on Chile, Brazil,
Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, and Guatemala-variously explore how
state policies and even United Nations peace-keeping missions have
enhanced elite control of land and agricultural exports, banks and
insurance companies, wholesale and import commerce, industrial
activities, and alliances with foreign capital. Chapters also pay
attention to the ways in which violence has been deployed to
maintain elite power, and how international forces feed into
sustaining historic and contemporary configurations of power.
