Public Administration and Public Sector Reform in Latin America
Towards a Political Economy of Hemispheric Relations: A Structural and Historical Sketch
Conceptual frameworks on inter-American relations based on conservative ‘realism’ and liberal ‘complex interdependency’ have lacked a capacity to explain and understand – and above all, predict – the dynamics in regional interactions. A common epistemological and ideological problem emerges from a distinctly ethnocentric perspective. This essay attempts to bridge this analytical gap by presenting a systemic, historical and structural model for po…
International Development Studies and Ethical Dilemmas in Academia
Since its onset in the early 1960s, Development Studies (and International Development Studies) has been a field in search of a discipline, clearly subordinated to various governmental and international agencies' development policies and practices. Born during the Cold War in a post-colonial setting and under the confinements of a Western academic environment, the field has also carried some of the peculiar ideological traits of its founding disc…

Globalization and the Crisis of Sovereignty, Legitimacy, and Democracy
The late-twentieth-century phenomenon often referred to as globalization involved a drastic reshaping of the overall structure of world politics-a shift from rigid bipolarity to diffuse unipolarism. The East-West divide was replaced by a hub-and-spokes configuration whose center was the United States and the other Group of 7 nations and whose periphery was a heterogeneous conglomerate of underdeveloped Third World and former Second World nations.…
Where Corruption Lives
This comprehensive global survey of official corruption in governance links theoretical perspectives to common practices found throughout the world. Ranging from liberal democracies to autocracies, the authors explore initiatives being taken by national governments and international organizations to combat and reduce corrupt practices
Globalization, Neoliberalism, and the State of Underdevelopment in the New Periphery
This study provides an analytical sketch of the context, culture, structures, processes, and consequences of neoliberalism. It examines the subject from two fundamental and complementary perspectives. The first involves an appraisal of the history and evolution of neoliberalism as a socio-political phenomenon from its origins to the present. The second perspective provides a systematic analysis of the theory and practice of neoliberalism, its cir…
Chile: Myths, realities and misconstructions
Introduction Contemporary Chile constitutes a fortunate blending of economic liberalism with political democracy for political and economic orthodoxy. Domestic accomplishments have been coupled with a new international status. In 1993, the country applied for membership, and formally joined APEC during the November 1994 summit in Djakarta. Chile began its accession to NAFTA in early January 1995. As one of Latin America's strongest economies, ost…
Science, Technology and Underdevelopment: A Contextual Approach
The article seeks to provide a conceptual framework for analyzing the role of science and technology in development. It begins by concentrating on the systematic relationship between the processes of socio-economic, cultural and political change on the one hand, and the contextual circumstances which regulate the generation, application and reproduction of technology on the other hand. The essay examines the issue of scientifically-driven progres…

The Spiral of Violence: Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency in Peru
The article explores the context, the cultures, the structures, the processes and the effects of the current (1980–1988) spate of violence in contemporary Peru. While concentrating on the activities of insurgent movements—the MRTA and especially «Sendero Luminoso»—it places the escalating violence of present-day Peru in a much broader systemic and historical perspective. It does so by looking at the complex dialectical relationship among institut…

Redemocratization in Latin America or the Modernization of the Status Quo
In the last two decades Latin America has experienced what appears to be a cyclical political trend, with repressive military rule being established in 15 out of 20 countries during the late '60's and early '70's, only to be replaced by a widespread return to democracy since the late '70's. But the "democratic trend" is deceptive, in the author's view; what is taking place is not the return to (or emergence of) liberal democracy as existing in ad…
