Latin American Politics and Development
Civil Society: The American Model and Third World Development
Civil Society focuses on the processes and politics of dismantling "corporate" (state directed) economies and political systems in the Third World. Howard Wiarda explores how this separation would create a move toward civil societies of free associability and democracy, as well as the limits to and pitfalls of this approach. The book examines case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and includes such cr…

Corporatism and Comparative Politics: The Other Great "Ism"
Corporatism is the third great ideolgy of modern social and political organization and it is one of the main organizing concepts used in comparative political analysis. This study traces corporatism in history, analyzes its modern practice and shows the rise of corporatism in the US.
Think tanks and foreign policy in a globalized world: New ideas, new “tanks,” new directions
Think tanks in the last half-century have replaced universities as the main source of new policy ideas. The big Washington think tanks have taken their place alongside interest groups, media, and political parties as among the most influential organizations in American politics, including foreign policy. The author discusses the world of the Washington think tanks, how and why they are able to influence policy in ways that university-based academ…
Political culture and foreign policy: The Neglected Factor in International Relations
American foreign policy in regions of conflict: A Global Perspective
America's regional foreign policy priorities are shifting, toward Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, and away from Europe and Russia. Wiarda examines these changes and the reasons for them in each of these regional areas in this comprehensive work on global perspective on American foreign policy. Designed as a text for introductory international relations, foreign policy, comparative politics, and world politics courses, this book …

The Political Sociology of a Concept: Corporatism and the “Distinct Tradition”
The field of Latin American Studies owes much to Professor Howard J. Wiarda, whose pioneering work on “corporatism” and political culture during the 1960s and 1970s helped establish a new conceptual paradigm for interpreting the persistence of corporately defined, institutional identities throughout Latin America, despite the purported triumph of the “Liberal Tradition.” A child of Dutch parents, his early travels throughout Africa, Asia, and Lat…

Consensus Found, Consensus Lost: Disjunctures in US Policy Toward Latin America at the Turn of the Century
After the great ideological debates of the 1970s and 1980s and the domestic "war" (there is no better term) over Central America policy, a quite remarkable consensus had emerged in the 1990s regarding United States policy in Latin America. The new consensus was surprisingly bipartisan, having been largely continuous from the Bush to the Clinton administrations and actually having its origins in the even earlier Carter and Reagan administrations. …
Cuba, Castro, and the Post-Communist World
The Cuban economy is a disaster, social programs are sliding downhill, and the communist regime has lost legitimacy. It is unlikely that Castro can hang on to power much longer

Toward a Framework for the Study of Political Change in the Iberic-Latin Tradition: The Corporative Model
IN the early 1960's a great deal of "scare" literature was produced concerning Latin America. The titles and subtitles of many of the books and articles written during the period help bear this contention out: "The Eleventh Hour," "Reform or Revolution," "Evolution or Chaos." The concern of scholars and public officials, stemming principally from the Cuban revolution, was that Latin America was about to explode in violent upheaval, that unless de…
Corporatism and Development in the Iberic-Latin World: Persistent Strains and New Variations
Wherever one looks in the Iberic-Latin world, corporatist or neocorporatist forms of authority and sociopolitical organization appear to have staged a resurgence. One is used to thinking about such traditional states and societies as Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Paraguay in terms of their authoritarian and corporatist structures, and Portugal has by now been a self-proclaimed corporatist state for some 40 years. We shall have more to say regarding the…
The Ethnocentrism of the Social Science Implications for Research and Policy
The proposition advanced here is that the vast bulk of our social science findings, models, and literature, which purport to be universal, are in fact biased, ethnocentric, and not universal at all. They are based on the narrow and rather particular experiences of Western Europe (actually a much smaller nucleus of countries in central and northwest Europe) and the United States, and they may have little or no relevance to the rest of the world. A…

After Miami: The Summit, the Peso Crisis, and the Future of US-Latin American Relations
As the Miami Summit of Western Hemisphere heads of state concluded on 11 December 1994, excessive optimism - even euphoria - seemed to be everywhere in the air. For once, the United States and Latin America seemed to be in agreement on basic policy, rather than, as so often in the past, in each other's hair/face or at each other's throats. There was general agreement about the goals of democracy, free trade, and open markets; the vexatious Cuba i…

The Politics of Civil-Military Relations in the Dominican Republic
The armed forces in nearly all of the developing countries have frequently played a significant role in the political process. Because civilian groups—such as political parties, interest associations, bureaucracies—tend to be weak, fluid, and amorphous during the transition from a “traditional” to a “modern” society, the military is liable to be the strongest and best organized actor in the system. The roles may vary, from performing minimal gove…

Contemporary Constitutions and Constitutionalism in the Dominican Republic: The Basic Law Within the Political Process
The revolution of April 1965, and the subsequent landing of United States military forces focused an enormous amount of worldwide attention on the Dominican Republic. The frequently chaotic revolution, which quickly became a civil war, was made still more confusing by reports which at one and the same time referred to one side as the "rebels" or "constitutionalists" and to the other as the "loyalists" or "anti-constitutionalists." As the events o…
