Book Synopsis State Building in Latin America by : Hillel David Soifer
Download or read book State Building in Latin America written by Hillel David Soifer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State Building in Latin America diverges from existing scholarship in developing explanations both for why state-building efforts in the region emerged and for their success or failure. First, Latin American state leaders chose to attempt concerted state-building only where they saw it as the means to political order and economic development. Fragmented regionalism led to the adoption of more laissez-faire ideas and the rejection of state-building. With dominant urban centers, developmentalist ideas and state-building efforts took hold, but not all state-building projects succeeded. The second plank of the book's argument centers on strategies of bureaucratic appointment to explain this variation. Filling administrative ranks with local elites caused even concerted state-building efforts to flounder, while appointing outsiders to serve as administrators underpinned success. Relying on extensive archival evidence, the book traces how these factors shaped the differential development of education, taxation, and conscription in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru.

Book Synopsis Region and State in Latin America's Past by : Magnus Mörner
Download or read book Region and State in Latin America's Past written by Magnus Mörner and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the first books in English to focus on Latin American regional history, distinguished historian Magnus Morner examines the ways in which various sectors of Latin American society, in different regions and at different historical periods, reacted to policies of their respective states. After an introductory discussion of the concept of the state and its transformation in Latin America over time, Morner turns to a series of interrelated case studies from periods ranging from the early sixteenth century to the 1930s. Morner first explores the early segregation efforts of imperial Spain, aimed at separating white Hispanic from native Indian populations in colonial Spanish America - and he explains why those efforts failed. He discusses the incorporation of native populations into the newly established nation of Venezuela from 1830 to 1860. He describes the Brazilian Empire's attempts at modernization through the introduction of the metric system in the 1870s - and the unexpected riots that ensued among tradition-minded citizens of the rural northeast. And he examines government efforts of the River Plate region comprising the city of Buenos Aires and neighboring provinces - to promote European immigration to Argentina.
Book Synopsis The State of State Reforms in Latin America by : Eduardo Lora
Download or read book The State of State Reforms in Latin America written by Eduardo Lora and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America suffered a profound state crisis in the 1980s, which prompted not only the wave of macroeconomic and deregulation reforms known as the Washington Consensus, but also a wide variety of institutional or 'second generation' reforms. 'The State of State Reform in Latin America' reviews and assesses the outcomes of these less studied institutional reforms. This book examines four major areas of institutional reform: a. political institutions and the state organization; b. fiscal institutions, such as budget, tax and decentralization institutions; c. public institutions in charge of sectoral economic policies (financial, industrial, and infrastructure); and d. social sector institutions (pensions, social protection, and education). In each of these areas, the authors summarize the reform objectives, describe and measure their scope, assess the main outcomes, and identify the obstacles for implementation, especially those of an institutional nature.
Book Synopsis State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1 by : Miguel A. Centeno
Download or read book State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1 written by Miguel A. Centeno and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
Book Synopsis A Political Geography of Latin America by : Jonathan R. Barton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With case studies of South and Central America, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic,A Political Geography of Latin Americaexplains how it is possible to overcome the stereotypes and generalizations about "banana republics", dictatorships and the Latin character. Jonathan Barton exposes the differences between places, regions and countries, individuals and societies, offering an invaluable insight into the themes of political and economic development, and an accessible guide to understanding power and space relations. Barton stresses the need for inclusionary political geography across hemispheres, nation-states, regions, races and ethnic groups, gender and sexuality, and for recognition that it is citizens who wield the power and shape nation-states.
Book Synopsis Latecomer State Formation by : Sebastian Mazzuca

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to the field of comparative state formation and the scholarship on long-term political development of Latin America “Ambitious and rich. . . . A sweeping and general theory of state formation and detailed historical reconstruction of essential events in Latin American political development. It combines structural elements with a novel emphasis on the political incentives and bargaining that shaped the map we have today.”—Hillel David Soifer, Governance Latin American governments systematically fail to provide the key public goods for their societies to prosper. Sebastián Mazzuca argues that the secret of Latin America’s failure is that its states were “born weak,” in contrast to states in western Europe, North America, and Japan. State formation in post-Independence Latin America occurred in a period when capitalism, rather than war, was the key driver forging countries. In pursuing the short-term benefits of international trade, Latin American leaders created states with chronic weaknesses, notably patrimonial administrations and dysfunctional regional combinations. Mazzuca analyzes pathways leading to variations in country size and level of pacification: “port-led” state formation in Argentina and Brazil; “party-led” in Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay; and “lord-led” in Central America, Venezuela, and Peru.

Book Synopsis "Our Hemisphere"? by : Britta H. Crandall
Download or read book "Our Hemisphere"? written by Britta H. Crandall and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible course book on U.S.-Latin American relations “Our Hemisphere”? uncovers the range, depth, and veracity of the United States’ relationship with the Americas. Using short historical vignettes, Britta and Russell Crandall chart the course of inter‑American relations from 1776 to the present, highlighting the roles that individuals and groups of soldiers, intellectuals, private citizens, and politicians have had in shaping U.S. policy toward Latin America in the postcolonial, Cold War, and post–Cold War eras. The United States is usually and correctly seen as pursuing a monolithic, hegemonic agenda in Latin America, wielding political, economic, and military muscle to force Latin American countries to do its bidding, but the Crandalls reveal unexpected yet salient regional interactions where Latin Americans have exercised their own power with their northern and very powerful neighbor. Moreover, they show that Washington’s relationship with the region has relied, in addition to the usual heavy‑handedness, on cooperation and mutual respect since the beginning of the relationship.

Book Synopsis Blood and Debt by : Miguel Angel Centeno
Download or read book Blood and Debt written by Miguel Angel Centeno and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role does war play in political development? Our understanding of the rise of the nation-state is based heavily on the Western European experience of war. Challenging the dominance of this model, Blood and Debt looks at Latin America's much different experience as more relevant to politics today in regions as varied as the Balkans and sub-Saharan Africa. The book's illuminating review of the relatively peaceful history of Latin America from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries reveals the lack of two critical prerequisites needed for war: a political and military culture oriented toward international violence, and the state institutional capacity to carry it out. Using innovative new data such as tax receipts, naming of streets and public monuments, and conscription records, the author carefully examines how war affected the fiscal development of the state, the creation of national identity, and claims to citizenship. Rather than building nation-states and fostering democratic citizenship, he shows, war in Latin America destroyed institutions, confirmed internal divisions, and killed many without purpose or glory.
