Overseas Research: A Practical Guide
When conducting research in developing countries, an ability to negotiate a bewildering array of cultural and logistical obstacles is essential. Overseas Research: A Practical Guide distills essential lessons from scores of students and scholars who have collected data and done fieldwork abroad, including how to prepare for the field, how and where to find funding for one’s fieldwork, issues of personal safety and security, and myriad logistical …
Overseas Research II: A Practical Guide
Researchers in developing countries often find that the particular country in which they work presents a range of unforeseen challenges. Indeed, their ability to carry out effective scholarship is often highly dependent on these factors. The great differences between working in countries as varied as India, China, Bolivia and Kenya can often come as a shock to the system. An ability to negotiate a bewildering array of cultural and logistical obst…
Presidentialization, Pluralization, and the Rollback of Itamaraty: Explaining Change in Brazilian Foreign Policy Making in the Cardoso-Lula Era
Since the 1990s Brazilian foreign policy has become increasingly central to Latin American integration, to South—South relations, and to global governance, especially under the leadership of presidents Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995—2002) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003 to the present). This article argues that the making of Brazilian foreign policy since the mid-1990s has been marked by two major trends: pluralization of actors and the rise…

Turning the Tables: State and Society in South America's Economic Integration
This article analyzes the politics of South American economic integration by considering the recent dynamics of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). It focuses on the three most important countries in that process: Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. It demonstrates that contrary to received wisdom about the strength of states and societies in these three countries, the Mercosur process illustrates surprising strength on the part of states in Argenti…

Electoral Reform, Institutional Change, and Party Adaptation in Uruguay
Uruguay's stable, institutionalized party system has undergone substantial changes in recent years, both from the increasing electoral strength of the left and from changes made to the electoral system in 1996. Analyzing the debut of that new system in the 1999 national and 2000 municipal elections, this article concludes that Uruguay is moving from what was a fairly evenly divided three-party system to one in which the longstanding traditional p…

Electoral Reform and Stability in Uruguay
On the Road to Southern Cone Economic Integration
The integration process as developed in MERCOSUR has been largely a success, albeit led (and often aggravated) by Brazil. Three cases illustrate Brazil's dominant role: the dispute over the automobile regime that began in 1995, the import-financing conflict of 1997, and the recent negotiations over the Free Trade Area of the Americas. Brazil's behavior pattern does not threaten MERCOSUR's stability, however, or the all-but-irreversible progress o…
The State as Naive Entrepreneur: The Political Economy of Export Promotion in Brazil and Tunisia
Export‐promotion strategies based on the success of the East Asian newly industrializing countries have been proffered in the 1990s to middle‐income countries in Latin America. Africa, and Asia. This article argues that far from untried, export‐promotion policies were attempted in Brazil and Tunisia in the 1960s and 1970s, with only limited long‐term success. The problem of export promotion in these two countries are attributed to the lack of str…
