Excellent analysis of current issues in Latin America., March 27, 1999 By A Customer

The is a most impressive analysis of economic, political, social and cultural life in Latin America. This excellent book offers an holistic approach to understanding these changes, relating them to the wider processes of modernization and globalization. An international group of scholars with impressive credentials and a wide range of disciplines... provide a critical yet balanced view and detailed analysis of the neoliberal policies pursued by almost all countries in the region. They contend that a new political economy is being constructed in Latin America as national economies become radically reconstructed and transformed; democracy becomes the instituional norm; and new social arrangements are being created. The constestation and alternatives to this new global modernity are also explored. In sum, this excellent book fulfills a much needed market niche for students, scholars, and the educated reader. It is an interdisciplinary and contemporary approach to Latin American development. Roberto Cabello-Argandona
