Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS: "Rare is the book in English that provides a general overview of Latin America and the Caribbean. Rarer still is the good, topical, and largely dispassionate book that contributes to a better understanding of the rest of the hemisphere. Peter Winn has managed to produce both."—Miami Herald "This magisterial work provides an accessible and engaging introduction to the complex tapestry of contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean."—Foreign Affairs "A clear, level-headed snapshot of a region in transition…. Winn is most interesting when he discusses the larger issues and to his credit he does this often."—Washington Post Book World "Balanced and wide-ranging…. After canvassing the legacies of the European conquerors, Winn examines issues of national identity and economic development…. Other discussions survey internal migration, the role of indigenous peoples, the complexity of race relations, and the treatment of women." —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Great Depression in Latin America written by Paulo Drinot and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Latin America weathered the Great Depression better than the United States and Europe, the global economic collapse of the 1930s had a deep and lasting impact on the region. The contributors to this book examine the consequences of the Depression in terms of the role of the state, party-political competition, and the formation of working-class and other social and political movements. Going beyond economic history, they chart the repercussions and policy responses in different countries while noting common cross-regional trends--in particular, a mounting critique of economic orthodoxy and greater state intervention in the economic, social, and cultural spheres, both trends crucial to the region's subsequent development. The book also examines how regional transformations interacted with and differed from global processes. Taken together, these essays deepen our understanding of the Great Depression as a formative experience in Latin America and provide a timely comparative perspective on the recent global economic crisis.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hofman, a researcher with the Chile-based Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, uses growth accounting methods and previously unavailable long-term series data to assess the economic performance of the region during the century from a comparative and historical perspective. In particular he compares Latin American economies to those of advanced capitalist economies, to newly industrialized economies, and to Spain and Portugal because of the historical ties. He looks at the reasons for the poor or negative growth during the 1980s and the apparent recovery in the 1990s and at such problems as debt, income inequality, high inflation, cyclical instability, and political and policy instability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume takes a broad view of recent social, political, and economic developments in Latin America. It contains six essays, focused on salient and cross-cutting themes, that try to construct a thread or narrative about the highly diverse region, highlighting its main idiosyncrasies and analyzing where it might be headed in coming years. While the essays recognize considerable advances, they also point out setbacks and missed opportunities that have stood in the way of sustained progress. Strengthening state capacity emerges as a significant challenge.

This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Latin American countries have experienced improvements in income over recent decades, with several of them now classified as high-income or upper middle-income in terms of conventional metrics. But has this change been mirrored in improvements across the different areas of people’s lives? How’s Life in Latin America? Measuring Well-being for Policy Making addresses this question by presenting comparative evidence for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with a focus on 11 LAC countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of Latin America's economy focusing on development, covering the colonial roots of inequality, boom and bust cycles, labor markets, and fiscal and monetary policy. Latin America is richly endowed with natural resources, fertile land, and vibrant cultures. Yet the region remains much poorer than its neighbors to the north. Most Latin American countries have not achieved standards of living and stable institutions comparable to those found in developed countries, have experienced repeated boom-bust cycles, and remain heavily reliant on primary commodities. This book studies the historical roots of Latin America's contemporary economic and social development, focusing on poverty and income inequality dating back to colonial times. It addresses today's legacies of the market-friendly reforms that took hold in the 1980s and 1990s by examining successful stabilizations and homemade monetary and fiscal institutional reforms. It offers a detailed analysis of trade and financial liberalization, twenty–first century-growth, and the decline in poverty and income inequality. Finally, the book offers an overall analysis of inclusive growth policies for development—including gender issues and the informal sector—and the challenges that lie ahead for the region, with special attention to pressing demands by the vibrant and vocal middle class, youth unemployment, and indigenous populations.

Download or read book Modernization, Exploitation, and Dependency in Latin America written by Joseph Alan Kahl and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1976-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly discussion of the fate of the Third World has long been dominated by North American and European authors. Yet in recent years the writings of Third World social scientists have often been creative, and are worthy of more attention in the United States. This book makes the work of three outstanding Latin American sociologists readily available to the English-reading public: Gino Germani of Argentina (who has moved to Harvard University); Pablo Gonzalez Casanova of Mexico; and Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil. Their major writings are summarized, and then interpreted in the context of material from extensive interviews with the authors. In these interviews, the authors explain the events--personal, professional, and political--that have had major influence on their thought. Their views range from Germani's synthesis of orthodox European and American sociology, as adapted to his detailed empirical studies of the modernization of Argentina and other countries in this hemisphere, through Gonzalez Casanova's interpretation of the forces of exploitation, internal as well as external, that dominate the Mexican political system, to Cardoso's influential revisions of Marxist theory to deal with the basic situation of dependency that shapes the range of options open to the Latin American countries, especially Brazil. These "inside" views of the development process often sharply diverge from the dominant opinions among "outsiders." By understanding the differences, readers in the United States can gain direct insight into Latin American social reality, and can find ways of improving North American social science by bringing to the surface some unstated assumptions. One theme common to all three authors is their concern with issues that arise from policy debates: they focus on questions of practical import, rather than abstruse theoretical models. Yet they use sophisticated tools of social science that go beyond ideological rhetoric, and thus discipline political argument with scholarly rigor.

Download or read book RED ALERT FOR LATIN AMERICA's DEVELOPMENT AND FOR THE GLOBAL ROLE OF THE CONTINENT IN THIS CHANGE OF TIME written by Pascual Gerstenfeld and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America and North America are on red alert in the current context of an accelerated change of time, which, like any turning point, also provides a short time to meet new challenges and correct direction. Latin-American countries must completely change its erroneous and inertial socio-economic and political track to overcome its structural deficit. Get rid of the trap that a large part of society wants a living standard like that of the developed countries, with levels of productivity that are extremely low, and other serious deficits, so the income they generate is very far from that required to achieve welfare. In this context, this unfulfilled expectation has clearly created a sense of frustration. This, combined with demagoguery, corruption, and impunity, which dominate its political system and socio-economic elites, generates recurrent institutional and social crises. Another major challenge is integration. This is of far-reaching significance for the development of Latin America and for the future of the United States as a global power. Because, as discussed and strong documented here, "the neighborhood matters" and a lot. The recent establishment of the RCEP block in Asia Pacific and Oceania and the AfCFTA in Africa, plus the consolidate European Union, are important signs in the economic and business field with strong socio political and cultural prospective influence. So, there is a deep need for integration including a pragmatic development strategy for equalizing up the countries. If this is not done, the opposite will happen with great possibility, because every Latin American country has bilateral ties with China as an emerging power, as has happened in the past 20 years. This type of relationship will eventually further divide the region more than it is now, reducing its global competitiveness for the South, Central and North America. On the other hand, according to the Global Prospective Development Measure (c) - GPDM (R), published in this book for the first time, by 2020, they are 43 developed countries in the world among 190 countries measured, from Greece (+5) to Denmark (+215). The top 20 are above +100, including the United States (+145) and Canada (+107). Latin American countries are all developing ones, with Chile (-34), Uruguay (-43) and Argentina (-53). Thirteen or them range from -61 to -120, from Costa Rica and Panama to the most populous countries in the region, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, as well as Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and El Salvador. The values for Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and Haiti range from -121 to -165, while the lowest world's estimate is for Niger with -176. Another important analytical contribution is the estimation of the speed of progress on the road to development. Latin America exhibits an average of one unit of GPDM per year, while the developed countries register an average of two units per year. So, the most advanced countries in the region are around 35 to 55 years away from the development border. The emerging power, China, still a developing country, registers a GPDM of -55, but is developing at a speed of 3 units per year. Therefore, it will cross the border into developed countries within 20 years. Its fast speed is three times that of its main competitor, the United States, twice that of Europe, and three to six times that of Latin America. The style of the book is oriented to readers in all fields of society. Focus on a constructive criticism and to overcome any sign of complacency and extreme ideological temptation. Because, they have caused great damage to the region in the historical process. The leit-motiv is to provide illustrative data and narratives for cultivating critical changes in the way of thinking to begin building a future of development, increasing well-being and greater democratic coexistence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of this widely praised text has been thoroughly revised to reflect the evolving characteristics of the current international system that have had a dramatic effect on every aspect of international relations of Latin America and the Caribbean. The original purpose of this book is unchanged: It continues to provide a topically current and analytically integrated survey of the region's role in the world. Still organized around the idea of Latin America and the Caribbean as a separate subsystem within the global international system, the discussion gives special emphasis to complex interstate and transnational structures and processes. Within this framework, Atkins analyzes the foreign policies of the Latin American states themselves and those of the United States and other countries toward Latin America and the Caribbean. He also looks closely at the nature and role of transnational actors in the region, such as the multinational corporations, the Holy See, Protestant Churches, transnational political parties, international labor, nongovernmental organizations, and others. He gives special attention to Latin American participation in international institutions at all levels.

Book excerpt: Now in a fifth edition, Latin America has been updated to reflect the region's growing optimism as economies stabilize, trade diversifies, and political systems become more participatory. This multidisciplinary survey of Latin American history, politics, and society features invited contributions from authorities in a variety of fields. New sections address current events including deforestation in Costa Rica and Brazil, emerging social movements, Ecuador's new constitution, and Obama's stated objectives to repair U.S. relations with the region. In addition, key topics (such as women and Latin American politics, socialist governments and anti-American sentiment, Argentina's deteriorating economy, and Colombia's struggle with military and narcotics issues) receive expanded and revitalized treatment. Other updated material covers outcomes of recent elections in Bolivia, Brazil, and Nicaragua, among others. Through a hybrid thematic and regional organization, this text provides an essential foundation for introductory courses on Latin America.

Download or read book Three Latin American Sociologists written by Joseph Alan Kahl and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the long overdue, second edition of Joseph A. Kahl's masterful Modernization, Exploitation, and Dependency in Latin America. In the book, Kahl describes, examines and introduces the life and work of three important figures in the development of comparative politics and political sociology: Gino Germani (Argentina), Pablo Gonzales Casanova (Mexico) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso (Brazil). As Peter B. Evans points out in his splendid introduction, subsequent developments in comparative scholarship, as exemplified in the fate of modernization and dependency theory, have highlighted the influence of these three Latin Americans, first introduced to the North American community by this book. This is the text for students and practitioners of comparative political and socal science, interested in issues of modernization, development, and dependency.
