Constructing Democratic Governance in Latin America
After more than a century of assorted dictatorships and innumerable fiscal crises, the majority of Latin America's states are governed today by constitutional democratic regimes. Some analysts and scholars argue that Latin weathered the 2008 fiscal crisis much better than the United States. How did this happen? Jorge I. Dominguez and Michael Shifter asked area specialists to examine the electoral and governance factors that shed light on this tra…
Postimperialism and World Politics
Postimperialism is a theory of political and social change inspired by the explosive growth of transnational corporate enterprise during the latter 20th century. Its foundations are derived from two primary sources: political theories of the modern business corporation and class-analytical theories of society. However, the postimperialist theory of class formation is predicated on power relations, a departure from conventional class analysis that…
Latin America
Latin America: Beyond “Democratic Consolidation” David G. Becker (bio) The goal of political scientists who study Latin America is not just to understand the origins and nature of the region’s new democracies but also to determine ways in which they can be strengthened and deepened. This is much more than a matter of individual preference or disciplinary ideology. It is widely accepted that liberal democracy comes closer than any other political …

Postimperialism revisited
Business Associations in Latin America
As the study of Third World politics and development moves away from structuralism and toward the empirical study of social subjects, there is a need for a new theoretical framework to aggregate and interpret such studies. This article employs a postimperialist class-analytical framework and insights drawn from “discourse theory” to examine FEDECAMARAS, the “peak organization” of the Venezuelan business sector. In its examination of FEDECAMARAS's…

The New Bourgeoisie and the Limits of Dependency
The author clarifies the mutually constructive relationship between transnational and the modernizing Peruvian state, showing how the state maintains this relationship while simultaneously nurturing the new class.Originally published in 1983.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Recent Political Development in Peru
Nationalists of the dependencista persuasion 1 have long insisted that capitalist development in Peru breeds a particularly onerous form of class domination that cannot rest on a societal ideological consensus. According to this view, bourgeois democracy is at best an episodic interlude; the system of domination must sooner or later have resort to overt coercion and political monopoly, unless a revolutionary proletariat and peasantry should succe…

Bonanza Development” and the “New Bourgeoisie
A study of the social and political impact of the Peruvian mining industry since 1968 reveals that the country has undergone a form of development—“bonanza development”—that differs from other forms (such as ISI) and that may possibly be found in other nations with economies based on natural resource exportation. Bonanza development is capitalist and is linked to industrialization. It features the use of state power and enterpreneurship to tie th…
