  • A Historical Perspective on the Political Economy of Inequality in Latin America

    Rosemary Thorp, Javier Santiso et al.BOOKThe Oxford handbook of Latin…2012

    This article explores the historical evolution of the political economy of inequality. It evaluates how and why inequality appears so deeply embedded and so extreme in the Latin American case. It considers inequality within countries, and finds that a significant part of the story, though by no means all, turns on inequality between Latin America and the international economy. Three main arguments are presented. First, that inequality is often fu…

  • From Windfall to Curse? Oil and Industrialization in Venezuela, 1920 to the Present

    Rosemary ThorpARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2011

    This book is a well-researched and insightful examination of “the political economy of industrial policy and economic growth in Venezuela in the period 1920 – 2005” (p. 3). (I quote the author’s own definition since the book’s title might lead one to expect something different.) The key contribution lies in the second half of the book and is a careful meshing of the politics and economics of industrial policy. The book offers insight into the nee…

  • Inequality, Ethnicity, Political Mobilisation and Political Violence in Latin America

    Open AccessRosemary Thorp, Corinne Caumartin et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Latin American Research2006Cited by: 13References: 12

    The paper explores the relationship between political violence and 'horizontal' inequality in ethnically-divided countries in Latin America. The cases studied are Bolivia, Guatemala and Peru. Preliminary results are reported on the measurement of horizontal inequality, or that between groups, defined in cultural, ethnic and/or religious terms. The Latin American cases are shown to be often more unequal than the cases from Africa and Asia included…

  • Group Behaviour and Development

    Judith Heyer, J Mohan Rao et al.CHAPTERGroup behaviour and development2002

    Most economic decisions are taken by people acting within, and very often on behalf of, groups. As consumers, individuals are members of families; as producers, they operate within firms. Moreover, there are a variety of less formal groups, such as neighbourhood or community associations and networks of producers, which play an important role in influencing behaviour and outcomes. Yet much of economics puts individuals at the centre of analysis. …

  • A Reappraisal of the Origins of Import-Substituting Industrialisation 1930-1950

    Open AccessRosemary ThorpARTICLEJournal of Latin American Studies1992Cited by: 3References: 6

    The current enthusiasm for trade liberalisation in Latin America, and indeed for a broad-ranging return to the market, has as its backdrop the widespread disillusion with the protectionist model of the 1950s and 1960s. Import substituting industrialisation (ISI) is seen as having used tariff barriers and controls to generate an extremely inefficient industry, suffering under a weight of state bureaucracy, with often inappropriate direct state par…
