Investment in the Latin American Telecommunications Sector
Political economists have argued that the design of political institutions bears important consequences for the quality of public policy, especially in areas like the privatization and regulation of utilities. Our study looks at how variations in key institutional traits of executive and legislative branches (specifically presidents' legislative powers, presidents' prerogatives to designate the director of the regulatory agency, and legislative f…
Resistance to Privatization
Why do some protest movements in Latin America succeed in rolling back privatizations while others fail? This article argues that protests against privatizations have tended to succeed under two conditions. First, privatization's opponents form linkages (or "brokerage") across multiple sectors of society. Broad coalitions are more likely to achieve their goals, while groups acting alone, such as labor unions, are more easily defeated or ignored b…

Brazil as an Economic Superpower? Understanding Brazil's Changing Role in the Global Economy - by Brainard, Lael and Martinez-Diaz, Leonardo
Partisanship and Policy Choice
Leftists seem to be on the rise in Latin America, but it is unclear to what extent this impacts policy. Thus, a crucial question hangs over this apparent “shift” in regional preferences: does the left have any real options to offer? Or in Latin America in an age of globalization, “what's left for the left?” The contending perspectives are compared, and then the evidence is evaluated using a series of econometric models. In sum, no discernible pol…

Privatizing Telebras
The privatization of Brazil's state-owned telephone company, Telebrais, in 1998 was a watershed in Brazilian political economy. The sale was the culmination of a process that had begun seven years earlier with a failed effort by President Fernando Collor. With the election of Fernando Henrique Cardoso in 1994, the process moved slowly but steadily towards full privatization. Brazilian policymakers benefited from a wide variety of consultants offe…
Why Free Trade “Losers” Support Free Trade
The “rush to free trade” that began in Latin America in the 1980s remains inadequately explained. Among several puzzles connected with this shift, the degree of support for free trade among industrialists especially stands out. This article argues that the inability to account for industrialists' behavior lies in political economy's tendency to derive preferences from market position. Instead, the author argues that contextual factors shape prefe…
