Perpetuating Social Movements amid Declining Opportunity
This article examines the recent behaviour in Argentina of two national protest groups of socalled ‘piqueteros’ or picketers (impoverished unemployed individuals who used the blockage of strategic roads and bridges to force government concessions) that emerged politically in the buildup to the crisis of 2001-2002. Using theoretical concepts developed by McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly in understanding social movements, the author analyses what he calls…
The Piquetero Movement of Greater Buenos Aires
At a time when traditional Argentine labour has become debilitated, a new social movement has emerged representing parts of a working class now characterized by mass unemployment and job instability. The piquetero movement of the Buenos Aires region constitutes a highly successful effort to mobilize parts of the growing body of impoverished individuals without jobs into a new type of working class community. The controversial political tactics mo…
Apatia e alheamento político numa sociedade paralisada
A noção de "sociedade paralisada" usada aqui para descrever a democracia chilena contemporânea pretende sugerir um determinado sistema político em que a probabilidade de mudança significativa resultante de eleições e negociações foi reduzida a um mínimo. Tendo em vista os dispositivos políticos restritivos impostos pelo regime militar de Pinochet à nova democracia, tais como a figura dos senadores nomeados e a lei eleitoral "binomial" que aumenta…

The Political Economy of Argentina
Economic developments in Argentina over the last half-century present a puzzle to observers: Before World War II, the nation's per capita income and standard of living were comparable to those in countries like Canada and Australia; today, Argentina is submerged in deep economic, social, and political crises. In analyzing the events that led to this reversal, the author enhances our understanding of the phenomenon of arrested economic development…

Recent Textbooks on Latin America
By definition textbooks exist to provide an introduction to a particular body of knowledge. As such, texts usually emphasize breadth of coverage over great detail. Because even the largest texts must be limited in size, authors will stress what they believe are the most important matters. The responses of instructors to any text, in turn, is likely to be based on how closely their notions of priority match tllose of the author. The considerable r…
Legitimacy, Institutionalization, and Opposition in Exclusionary Bureaucratic-Authoritarian Regimes
A now considerable literature has emerged on the regime type which O'Donnell labeled ,9 both in terms of its origins and the policies which typify its development.' While discussion of the end of all such regimes is premature, individual cases today appear to be subject to great challenges. The purpose of the present essay is to offer a coherent explanation as to when individual bureaucratic-authoritarian governments will be most vulnerable to co…

Religion and Revolution in Peru, 1824-1976
Antiinflation Policies in Argentina and Chile
Union Election Data as a Political Indicator
In recent years, a considerable effort has been made in political science to facilitate cross-national research of a truly comparative nature. One common strategy is to assemble statistical data from as many nations as possible that then can serve as quantitative indicators for a variety of political, social, and economic phenomena. The use of quantitative operationalizations allows for statistical testing of appropriate hypotheses. While the goa…
