Rejoinder to Ana Vedovato’s Review of Bringing War Back In
Bringing War Back In is the product of over a decade of research aimed at re-establishing within the social sciences what historians have long understood: in Latin America, as elsewhere, internatio
Bringing War Back In: Victory, Defeat, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
Bringing War Back In provides a fresh theory connecting war and state formation that incorporates the contingency of warfare and the effects of war outcomes in the long run. The book demonstrates that international wars in nineteenth-century Latin America triggered state-building, that the outcomes of those wars affected the legitimacy and continuity of such efforts, and that the relative capacity of states in this region today continues to refle…
Reining in Rebellion: The Decline of Political Violence in South America, 1830–1929
During the nineteenth century, South America was plagued by internal rebellions that destabilized the region's economies and political systems. At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, levels of political violence throughout the region declined dramatically. Existing scholarship has paid surprisingly little attention to this historic transformation, in part because comprehensive data on revolts have been lacking. Historical narratives …
Myths of Multipolarity: The Sources of Brazil's Foreign Policy Overstretch
In this article, we provide a framework to analyze the foreign policy overstretch of middle powers, that is, their recent tendency to expand foreign policy goals and ambitions beyond their capabilities. We propose that overstretch results from the interaction of permissive international environments and the collusion of domestic actors to produce foreign policy myths. These myths, in turn, justify unsustainable swelling of foreign policy expendit…
Three Dragons in the Backyard? The Multifaceted Political Economy of China in Latin America
China's rise as a trading partner, investor, and lender to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) during the twenty-first century has been well documented. Nevertheless, this tectonic shift has spawned divergent development outcomes that remain under-researched. Why has China concentrated the bulk of its outgoing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Brazil and Peru? How did the Middle Kingdom become Chile's main trading partner while lending and inv…
Settling Resistant Territorial Disputes: The Territorial Boundary Peace in Latin America
Why do some territorial disputes defy settlement? Through what mechanism might these resistant territorial disputes be settled? We propose that the answer involves three individually necessary and jointly sufficient conditions. First, the dispute must receive attention—i.e., be (re)placed and (re)prioritized on the dyad's agenda. Second, governments need altered preferences that expand the bargaining range so they can break deadlock and pursue se…
Hegemonía estadounidense y cambio de régimen en América Latina
Este trabajo busca contribuir a la literatura sobre los factores internacionales que afectan el surgimiento y ruptura de la democracia a través de la conceptualización y análisis empírico de diversos mecanismos por los cuales una potencia internacional puede provocar cambios de régimen en su área de influencia. A través de múltiples métodos, analizamos el rol de Estados Unidos en 64 episodios (27 quiebres y 37 transiciones democráticas) que tuvie…
Twisting Uncle Sam's Arm? Exploring Latin American Leverage vis-à-vis the United States
Research on US–Latin America relations is often contained in policy silos and limited to specific bilateral relations. Generations of scholars have burned the midnight oil in archives all over the Americas, but only the very best—for example, Robert Pastor, to whom the book is dedicated—have been able to advance enduring narratives that span many issues and decades across this massive region. Well-balanced, comparative histories must capture vari…
The Southern African unipolarity
Despite the tectonic changes that have taken place in Southern Africa since the demise of apartheid, South Africa is still widely considered a hegemonic regional power by scholars, practitioners and pundits. This article challenges this interpretation, asserting that both Pretoria’s foreign policy and that of its neighbours fit the concept of regional unipolarity with more precision. Since the early 1990s, South Africa has pursued leadership with…
Preconceptos teóricos y política exterior: Reflexiones Críticas a Partir Del Conflicto Afgano
En este trabajo se intentará cuestionar la utilidad del concepto de "Estado" para interpretar determinados fenómenos de política internacional, considerando la centralidad que tiene el concepto en las teorías de las Relaciones Internacionales y para los formuladores de política exterior en general. Se tomará como caso de estudio el conflicto en Afganistán, argumentando que el mismo no puede circunscribirse a las categorías de lo estatal, en tanto…
