Concentración económica y poder político en América Latina
Para estudiar la concentración económica y el poder político en América Latina no solo resulta indispensable replantearse las estrategias metodológicas y teóricas a partir de las cuales nos acercamos a su estudio. También es necesario preguntarse sobre el contexto histórico en que se desenvuelven los grupos económicos en la región, identificar el proceso de consolidación a lo largo de su trayectoria, e interrogar de dónde surgieron y en qué condi…
Dominant Elites in Latin America
Neo-extractivism and the new Latin American developmentalism
What, if anything, is actually new about political and economic transformation in twenty-first century Latin America? Here we explore how ostensibly ‘new’ policies are being built on two ‘old’ foundations that may be mutually exclusive. These are ‘extractivism’ and ‘developmentalism’, concepts that have been used rather loosely to describe current economic policies. The new developmentalism, however, may not only be contradicted by extractivism; …
New Left Regimes in the Andes? Ecuador in Comparative Perspective
Liisa L. North’s “New Left Regimes in the Andes? Ecuador in Comparative Perspective” is an important contribution to the debate surrounding the progressive regimes that have taken office in several Latin and South American countries [see SPE 90]. Examining the changes Correa’s government is making to public services, education, and employment, North suggests that it is engaged in a project of “capitalist modernization, and state building” rather …
Generating rights for communities harmed by mining
As global mineral prices and production have boomed, Canadian mining companies have expanded their operations abroad with the support of the federal government. In light of the unregulated character and often destructive impacts of much new mining activity, the recent extractive industry expansion has been accompanied by increasing conflict. We analyse lawsuits launched in Canadian courts and in the inter-American human rights system by affected …

Fujimori's Peru
How can poor countries achieve economic development and surmount poverty?For many years poor countries saw state-led, import-substitution industrialization as the solution.That changed in the 1980s when debilitating economic failure forced them to seek assistance from rich countries.As a condition for assistance, the latter, acting through the international financial institutions, enjoined struggling nations to adopt freewheeling capitalism and w…
Grassroots-Based Rural Development Strategies
Reflections on Democratization and Demilitarization in Central America
Reporting and editorial commentary on Central America has been decidedly up-beat over the last few years. The headlines of the 1980s which broadcasted the murder of priests and massacres in villages have been replaced by news of peace agreements and orderly elections in which former guerilla fighters turned politicians take to the campaign trail
Development Paths at a Crossroads
Since the lost decade of the 1980s, many Latin American policymakers have sought lessons from the experiences of the East Asian newly industrializing countries, prominent among them South Korea and Taiwan. With the encouragement of international financial institutions, these lessons form the basis for promoting a competitive climate for private enterprise, keeping government intervention to a minimum, privatizing state-owned enterprises, opening …

Response to Phil Ryan’s “Duet for Peasant and Socialist Revolutionary”
Phil Ryan's lively and well-informed critique of the agrarian reform policies of Nicaragua's Sandinista Front for National Liberation makes an important contribution to the debate on the peasant question. I have often found myself amazed, frustrated, and disheartened by the grandiose schemes that Marxists - and liberals also - concoct to modernize agriculture and backward peasants. Nevertheless, it seems to me that Ryan's critique would have been…

Militarism and Social Revolution in the Third World
EI Salvador
The roots of the civil war raging in El Savador since early 1980 lie in a set of interrelated socio-economic and political processes that can be appropriately dated back one hundred years, to the country's late-19th-century Liberal Revolution
