The Historical and Contemporary Causes of «Survival Migration». From Central America’s Northern Triangle
Durante la última media década se han producido salidas masivas de refugiados procedentes del Triángulo Norte de América Central, es decir, de El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras. Dichas salidas surgen de una serie de procesos históricos perversos, que se refuerzan mutuamente: la implementación profundamente defectuosa de acuerdos de paz igualmente defectuosos que puso fin a las guerras civiles de la región en la década de 1990; la búsqueda de la p…
Concentración económica y poder político en América Latina
Para estudiar la concentración económica y el poder político en América Latina no solo resulta indispensable replantearse las estrategias metodológicas y teóricas a partir de las cuales nos acercamos a su estudio. También es necesario preguntarse sobre el contexto histórico en que se desenvuelven los grupos económicos en la región, identificar el proceso de consolidación a lo largo de su trayectoria, e interrogar de dónde surgieron y en qué condi…
Dominant Elites in Latin America
Neo-extractivism and the new Latin American developmentalism
What, if anything, is actually new about political and economic transformation in twenty-first century Latin America? Here we explore how ostensibly ‘new’ policies are being built on two ‘old’ foundations that may be mutually exclusive. These are ‘extractivism’ and ‘developmentalism’, concepts that have been used rather loosely to describe current economic policies. The new developmentalism, however, may not only be contradicted by extractivism; …
New Left Regimes in the Andes? Ecuador in Comparative Perspective
Liisa L. North’s “New Left Regimes in the Andes? Ecuador in Comparative Perspective” is an important contribution to the debate surrounding the progressive regimes that have taken office in several Latin and South American countries [see SPE 90]. Examining the changes Correa’s government is making to public services, education, and employment, North suggests that it is engaged in a project of “capitalist modernization, and state building” rather …
Generating rights for communities harmed by mining
As global mineral prices and production have boomed, Canadian mining companies have expanded their operations abroad with the support of the federal government. In light of the unregulated character and often destructive impacts of much new mining activity, the recent extractive industry expansion has been accompanied by increasing conflict. We analyse lawsuits launched in Canadian courts and in the inter-American human rights system by affected …
El mundo rural en los Andes. Presentación del dossier
Los cambios en las economias y sociedades rurales andinas que se han generado en las dos ultimas decadas han sido profundos y complejos. Resalta a la vista el abandono de las reformas agrarias (aunque las mismas estan regresando a la agenda politica en Bolivia y Venezuela), la flexibilizacion de los mercados de trabajo junto a la promocion agresiva de viejos y nuevos renglones de exportacion agricola, sin considerar las consecuencias ambientales …
Militares y Estado en Ecuador
This article deals with some military governments efforts to build a state that could serve broad public rather than simply narrow private interests, and it does so with reference to the obstacles rooted in Ecuador's patterns of social-political domination that have undercut those efforts. The article begins with a description of contrasts between the so-called "revolutions" of July 1925 and January 2000. It then briefly reviews key moments in st…
Asedios a lo imposible. Propuestas económicas en construcción
Los editores y autores de Asedios a lo imposible merecen felicitaciones por haberse arriesgado a proponer algo novedoso; no sólo por criticar las teorías y prácticas económicas dominantes de los últimos 20 años, sino también por presentar posibles políticas alternativas para promover un verdadero proceso de desarrollo nacional. Aunque el libro contiene algunas sugerencias sobre políticas específicas, los autores se limitan a delinear rasgos gener…

Fujimori's Peru
How can poor countries achieve economic development and surmount poverty?For many years poor countries saw state-led, import-substitution industrialization as the solution.That changed in the 1980s when debilitating economic failure forced them to seek assistance from rich countries.As a condition for assistance, the latter, acting through the international financial institutions, enjoined struggling nations to adopt freewheeling capitalism and w…

Austerity and Disorder in the Andes
The elites’ first reaction to the social disorder induced by their own policies has been to spend scarce public resources beefing up police and military forces
Reflections on Democratization and Demilitarization in Central America
Reporting and editorial commentary on Central America has been decidedly up-beat over the last few years. The headlines of the 1980s which broadcasted the murder of priests and massacres in villages have been replaced by news of peace agreements and orderly elections in which former guerilla fighters turned politicians take to the campaign trail
Development Paths at a Crossroads
Since the lost decade of the 1980s, many Latin American policymakers have sought lessons from the experiences of the East Asian newly industrializing countries, prominent among them South Korea and Taiwan. With the encouragement of international financial institutions, these lessons form the basis for promoting a competitive climate for private enterprise, keeping government intervention to a minimum, privatizing state-owned enterprises, opening …

Response to Phil Ryan’s “Duet for Peasant and Socialist Revolutionary”
Phil Ryan's lively and well-informed critique of the agrarian reform policies of Nicaragua's Sandinista Front for National Liberation makes an important contribution to the debate on the peasant question. I have often found myself amazed, frustrated, and disheartened by the grandiose schemes that Marxists - and liberals also - concoct to modernize agriculture and backward peasants. Nevertheless, it seems to me that Ryan's critique would have been…

The Decay of the Security Régime in Central America
Not only was the old security regime in Central America experiencing decay in the 1980s but it was also being challenged by both regional and hemispheric states, variously supported by extra-regional actors.1 The situation was particularly complex and unstable because interstate disputes among regional and extra-regional states (including the dominant superpower in the area) were linked to major conflicts within the Central American nations. Cons…

A Rejoinder to Robert Adie's “Land and Politics in Mexico
In his article “Land and Politics in Mexico” Robert Adie argues that the ejido has served the important political function of maintaining stability in the Mexican countryside. We agree entirely with this conclusion; however, we disagree with the arguments which Adie uses to arrive at this conclusion. To develop his thesis concerning the primacy of the ejido's political function, Adie attempts to demonstrate the non-viability of the ejido as a uni…

The roots of the civil war raging in El Savador since early 1980 lie in a set of interrelated socio-economic and political processes that can be appropriately dated back one hundred years, to the country's late-19th-century Liberal Revolution
