Latin America Transformed
There are many ways of talking about the transformations that have occurred in Latin America and the Caribbean in the past few decades. Political economy provides one set of tools, as demonstrated in the first part of this book that uses a political economy approach in order to talk about the structural changes that have (and have not) come to pass in the region over the last few decades. Such interpretations typically cast their analysis at a ma…
Alternative Capitalisms
This book aims to examine the effects of globalization and economic and political transformations in those parts of the world which are now regularly referred to as 'emerging regions'. These are Latin America and the Caribbean, East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union and East Asia. This book breaks new ground in three areas. First of all it develops a critique of the use of the term "emerging regions" for geographers and social scientists…
Strategic Evolution of Chilean Wine Firms
This paper argues that the favourable export trajectories for Chilean wine to global markets in general and the UK market in particular are partly due to the nature of the insertion of wine producing firms into global value chains. Much of the data in this paper comes from a two-year British Academy research project (2005-07) which examined the impacts of globalization on export-oriented wine firms in Chile's Colchagua Valley and the record of co…
The Railway Museum Reinvented
The Railway Museum ReinventedThe Cité du Train (Mulhouse) and the Nederlands Spoorwegmuseum (Utrecht) Robert Gwynne (bio) Most museums reinvent themselves periodically. The process is never easy, and it becomes more difficult and costly when displays are built around such massive objects as steam locomotives. The Cité du Train in Mulhouse and the Nederlands Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht have accomplished this dramatic reinterpretation.1 They are appr…
Transformations in resource peripheries
Building on Hayter et al.'s (2003 ) characterisation of resource peripheries in terms of four institutional dimensions, this article conceptualises four, similar ‘transformations’ (political, economic, socio‐cultural and environmental) intended to evolve this conceptual framework. The case of Chile is analysed in order to ground the analysis, emphasising the structural aspects of its historical experience as a resource periphery. It is clear that…
UK retail concentration, Chilean wine producers and value chains
This paper seeks to examine how value chains impinge upon firms within the Chilean wine sector. The value chain analysis will further link the production and export of wine in Chile with the import and retailing of this wine in one key core economy market, namely that of the UK. The analysis is divided into three sections. First, the political economy of value chains in agro-industry is discussed, particularly in relation to the distinction betwe…
Value chains and the geographies of wine production and consumption Editorial
Competition and co-operation in the semi-periphery
The signing of a strategic economic partnership (the Trans-Pacific SEP or P4) between Chile, New Zealand, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam in 2005 reveals the emergence of a new generation of trade agreements that seek to promote longer-term synergies and cooperation. This is in marked contrast with a purely competitive, market-based model of agreements whereby economies are opened up to oligopsonistic capital. The orientation is clearly more neos…
Export-Orientation and Enterprise Development
This paper compares new forms of political economy based on export orientation in New Zealand and Chile and relates them to the evolution of the wine industries in those countries. The wine sector is seen as a key example of an export-driven agro-industry in both countries. The paper applies the new political economy to a comparative analysis of land, production and exports in the wine sectors of both Chile and New Zealand. The nature of firms in…

Transnational capitalism and local transformation in Chile
This paper explores how transnational corporations can ‘transform’ place and livelihoods within a country that has decided to insert itself forcefully within the evolving world economy. The aim is to explore some of the linkages and flows across space that characterise contemporary global capitalism. More specifically, the paper examines the relationship between transnational corporations and fruit production in Chile through examining the format…
Relevance of Structuralist and Dependency Theories in the Neoliberal Period
A new political economy is being constructed in Latin America, as national economies become radically restructured and transformed and new social arrangements are being created. Latin American economies and societies are reacting to these changes and re-linking to the demands of an increasingly competitive and interdependent world. Such changes are taking place within a continent of democratic governance, providing channels to challenge the new n…
Views from the periphery
The political economy of Latin American countries seems increasingly characterised by neoliberal approaches. Economic factors at the global and continental scale seem to reinforce this trend. This article explores the social bases of neoliberalism not only in terms of the technocratic but also of the wider social and political base. The connections between neoliberal reform, people and places are explored through examining the nature of exportori…
Globalisation, Commodity Chains and Fruit Exporting Regions in Chile
This paper explores the concept of the globalisation of agriculture and how export‐oriented agriculture in Chile interacts with the global agri‐food system. It tries to analyse change in the Chilean fruit sector within the framework of the global commodity chain in which production in one part of the world economy can be linked through contracts and the agency of fruit companies to consumption in other global locations. The commodity chain analys…

Export Growth and Development to Poor Rural Regions
The aim of this article is to explore the recent social and economic evolution of a rural region that was formerly one of the poorest in Chile but has been transformed by a productive specialisation in table grapes for export markets. The region is that of the Upper Limari in Chile's semi-arid Norte Chico. The analysis focuses on changes in four interrelated variables: productive investments; land markets; labour markets; and population distribut…
Agrarian Change and the Democratic Transition in Chile
The aim of this overview article is to sketch out the broad path of agrarian transformation in Chile since 1973 in order to better contextualise agrarian change and the democratic transition in Chile, the main theme that links the papers in this Special Issue. The legacy of the military government's neoliberal policies on the agricultural sector is analysed before the key themes of agrarian policy during the democratic transition are introduced. …

The Deindustrialization of Chile, 1974-1984
This paper attempts to contribute an empirical analysis to an economic phenomenon that has had and continues to have major repercussions for the running of the Chilean economy. The phenomenon is that of industrial decline. Between 1974 and 1984, industrial decline has been sufficiently continuous to be described as a process of deindustrialization. According to the data provided in this paper, the decline of Chilean industrial production between …
