Populist Rhetoric and Political Polarization: Insights from Venezuela
While much of the literature on populism has focused on the role of the populist leader in creating political polarization, this work asks what role context, particularly anti-populism, plays in exacerbating the often vitriolic nature of populist rhetoric. This work explores this question by examining the speeches of Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, from 1998 to 2012. It argues that Chavez's populist rhetoric, initially conciliatory, develope…
Class and race in Latin America’s left populist politics
This article challenges the notion that populist rhetoric in Latin America primarily and consistently arose in response to recent social dislocations and involves, from the onset, a Manichean struggle of the good people against an evil enemy. Instead, this work seeks the origins of polarisation, so often associated with populism, deep in history: in colonial conquest, in highly unequal economic, social and political relations in the post-independ…
Exploring the origins of polarizing populism: Insights from the Peronist struggle over rights
Much of the literature on populism, including that on Peronism in Argentina, focuses on the us/them, good versus evil, nature of populist rhetoric as instrumental in polarizing society and eroding democracy. This work challenges this perspective by placing an analysis of Peron’s speeches (from 1943 to 1955) within the pre-existing historical context of division between urban elites and poor rural masses. The work argues that Peronist rhetoric, wh…
Social Forces and States: Poverty and Distributional Outcomes in South Korea, Chile, and Mexico
With the failure of market reform to generate sustained growth in many countries of the Global South, poverty reduction has become an urgent moral and political issue in the last several decades. In practice, considerable research shows that high levels of inequality are likely to produce high levels of criminal and political violence. On the road to development, states cannot but grapple with the challenges posed by poverty and wealth distributi…
Inequality in Twentieth-Century Latin America: Path Dependence, Countermovements, and Reactive Sequences
Most recent explanations of social welfare and development outcomes have focused on the role and impact of formal institutional arrangements, particularly the state. The institutional legacies of colonial rule and the role of democratic institutions have been common explanatory variables. This article focuses on the historical origins, persistence, and increases in inequality in Mexico and Chile during the twentieth century. It argues that despit…

The Role of the Middle Class in Distributional Outcomes: Chile and South Korea
Waking from the dream. Mexico's middle classes after 1968
Competing Visions of Democracy and Development in the Era of Neoliberalism in Mexico and Chile
This article takes as its starting point the current scholarly concern with democratic quality, poverty, and inequality. It notes the tendency of political leaderships at the federal level in Mexico and Chile to exclude political pressures that contravene their neoliberal imperatives. It develops this argument with specific reference to the contestation over conditional cash transfer programs. Research reveals the existence of two competing visio…
Redistributive Conflict and Social Policy in Latin America
Social Democracy in the Global Periphery: Origins, Challenges, Prospects
Social Democracy in the Global Periphery focuses on social-democratic regimes in the developing world that have, to varying degrees, reconciled the needs of achieving growth through globalized markets with extensions of political, social and economic rights. The authors show that opportunities exist to achieve significant social progress, despite a global economic order that favours core industrial countries. Their findings derive from a comparat…
Multilateral Lending Institutions and Transnational Policy Networks in Mexico and Chile
The impact of economic globalization for the countries of Latin America was profoundly shaped by the impact of the debt crisis of the early 1980s. For these countries, the emergence of transnational policy networks involving multilateral and domestic technocrats was instrumental in ushering in market reforms. By 2007, a variety of factors would seem to place middle-income countries such as Mexico and Chile beyond the policy reach of multilateral …
Merging the Modern and the Traditional: Market Reform in Chile and Argentina
The political process by which Latin American elites have tried to dismantle highly interventionist states has been an important subject over the past decade. Many studies have focused attention upon the technocratic authoritarian leadership and decision-making styles of market reformers.1 At the same time, concern about the quality of Latin American democracies has been growing now that electoral processes are firmly in place. While substantial …
The World Bank and Policy Reform in Mexico and Argentina
This article examines the World Bank's role in the market policy reform experiences of Mexico and Argentina. It argues that while reform was driven by domestic elites, the bank played an important role, providing technical advice and financial support and helping to spread market reform ideas. The nature of the bank's involvement, however, differed substantially in the two countries because of their distinct political arrangements, histories, and…
Private sector power and market reform: Exploring the domestic origins of Argentina's meltdown and Mexico's policy failures
The failure of market reforms in Latin America to produce sustained growth and equitable prosperity is demonstrated most clearly by Argentina's most recent economic and political meltdown. But economic difficulties, poverty and searing inequality has continued to plague the Mexican case as well. Latin American policy makers themselves have begun to contribute to the growing discussion of policies necessary to confront the lingering economic and s…
The Politics of Freeing Markets in Latin America: Chile, Argentina, and Mexico
In the 1980s and 1990s, nations throughout Latin America experienced the dual transformations of market liberalizing reforms and democratization. Since then, perhaps no issue has been more controversial among those who study the region than the exact nature of the relationship between these two processes. Bringing a much-needed comparative perspective to the discussion, Judith Teichman examines the politics of market reform in Chile, Argentina, a…
Neoliberalism and the Transformation of Mexican Authoritarianism
Durante la última década, México ha llevado a cabo un programa de reforma económica neoliberal que ha implicado que el Estado abandone el papel altamente intervencionista característico del periodo anterior a 1982. Este artículo examina la relación entre dichas reformas y la erosión de los dos pilares del autoritarismo mexicano: el corporativismo y el clientelismo patronal. A pesar de que la descomposición de los mecanismos autoritarios tradicion…

Mexico: Economic Reform and Political Change
Mexico's ongoing economic and political crises, set off in 1981-1982 by falling petroleum prices and rising international interest rates, have resulted in a flood of scholarly studies attempting to chart the direction and nature of change in that country. At the same time, the vagaries of 252
The Mexican State and the Political Implications of Economic Restructuring
In recent years, both mainstream and neo-Marxist scholarship has emphasized the importance of the state in leading political and economic change (Almond, 1988: 900-901). Much of the literature on the Latin American state has been inspired by the neo-Marxist structuralist perspective: Although the limitations imposed on public policy by capitalist structures, both domestic and foreign, are recognized, the state is also seen as playing a central ro…

Interest Conflict and Entrepreneurial Support for Perón
Unlike other Latin American countries, the particular mode of dependent capitalist development that has occurred in Argentina has led to the emergence of a relatively large industrial bourgeoisie. Indeed, industrialists in Argentina have constituted an extremely important pressure group, in a society where the state has not been able to control the development and activities of societal organizations. Entrepreneurial organizations both of a gener…
