The Political Economy of Tax Reform in Venezuela
In the last decade the Latin American political science literature has focused increasingly on the analysis of public policy. To date, however, this literature has failed to provide satisfactory answers to some fundamental theoretical questions concerning the importance of variations in regimes or government for understanding public policy formation. First, how important is regime type in understanding policy formation processes? And second, how …
The Liberal Republic and the Failure of Democracy
Although the study of the liberal republic (1870-1936) could shed considerable light on the overall pattern of political development, this period has remained one of the most under-studied and undervalued of the already under-researched history of Paraguay. In an attempt to fill that lacuna—albeit partially—this article reexamines the available data, discusses new evidence, and reinterprets the period with different theoretical categories. In thi…
Foreign Capital, Economic Elites and the State in Paraguay during the Liberal Republic (1870-1936)
The Paraguayan liberal republic, spanning from the end of the War of the Triple Alliance until the end of the Chaco War, is one of the most under-researched and probably one of the most undervalued periods of Paraguayan history and has only recently elicited some scholarly interest.1During this period capital accumulation developed exclusively in the private domain, economic policies were informed bylaissez-fairedoctrines, and the political arena…

The War of the Triple Alliance
The Paraguayan War, or War of the Triple Alliance, fought by Paraguay against Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay (1864–1870), remains unique in the Latin American context in several respects. Dire in its duration and human toll, the war's underlying conflict was not directly related to specific boundary disagreements. Unlike other Latin American conflicts, the War of the Triple Alliance has stirred a passionate controversy involving heavy ideological…
Venezuelan Democracy Revisited
The books under review here explore two major themes. The first is the question of the nature, potential, and limits of the Venezuelan democracy. A second locus of attention is the actual functioning of the Venezuelan system, from both historical and more contemporary perspectives. My discussion will consider the ways in which the works at hand examine these broad questions
