Book excerpt: Seminar paper del año 2012 en eltema Romanística - Estudios españoles, Nota: 1, Universität Wien (Translationswissenschaften), Idioma: Español, Resumen: Este ensayo se dedica a las relaciones entre el neoliberalismo y los cambios sociales en América Latina desde los años 1980. Se ocupa de las características de los nuevos movimientos sociales latinoamericanos, que intentan derrocar el paradigma neoliberal y cambiar fundamentalmente las sociedades civiles y las estructuras de poder estatal. Irónicamente, fue la introducción del neoliberalismo mismo que les brindió a los movimientos sociales más posibilidades de participación, como abrió nuevos espacios demócratos e impulsó una erosión de los regímenes autoritarios tradicionales. El centro del interés en este ensayo está en el movimiento de los zapatistas en México, cuya ideología y lucha por autonomía comunitaria será descrito con más detalle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los capítulos de esta obra se exploran los vínculos del modelo económico neoliberal con la transformación socioambiental, las racionalidades y las prácticas políticas de la gobernanza neoliberal en torno a asuntos ambientales, así como los conflictos y luchas sociales que surgen alrededor de los recursos naturales y la gobernanza ambiental. Los trabajos que conforman el libro son estudios de caso realizados por especialistas de distintos países en sitios tan diversos como el sureste de México, la Patagonia chilena, la ciudad de Río de Janeiro o las zonas rurales de El Salvador, Nicaragua y Honduras. En conjunto, estos trabajos nos muestran cómo los procesos de neoliberalización de la naturaleza en América Latina son siempre incompletos, llenos de contradicciones y producen el surgimiento de nuevos actores y roles inéditos para las personas, los espacios y los componentes del entorno biofísico; de tal suerte, generan dinámicas de resistencia pero también de cooperación e integración.

También apunta a la búsqueda de alternativas de pueblos y naciones frente a las redes transnacionales o los estados sujetos a sus propias oligarquías económico-político-culturales y a las grandes empresas y potencias hegemónicas."--Back cover.

Book A Moment of Equality for Latin America

Download or read book A Moment of Equality for Latin America written by Prof Dr Barbara Fritz and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other regions around the world, several Latin American countries have managed to reduce income inequality over the last decade. Higher growth rates and growing employment, but also innovative wage policies and social programs, have contributed to reducing poverty and narrow income disparities. Yet, despite this progress, nation-states in the region demonstrate little capacity to substantially change their patterns of deeply rooted inequalities. Focusing on the limits and challenges of redistributive policies in Latin America, this volume synthesizes and updates the discussion of inequality in the region, introducing the perspective of global and transnational interdependencies. The book explores the extent to which redistributive policies have been interlinked with the provision and quality of public goods as well as with structural changes of the productive sector. Inspired by structuralist and neostructuralist thinking of Latin American economists, such as Raúl Prebisch and Celso Furtado, authors question the redistributive impact of the interplay of recent macroeconomic, fiscal and social policies, particularly under left and center-left administrations committed to greater equality. Bringing together experts in social, fiscal and macroeconomic policies to investigate the interdependent and global character of inequalities, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, economics, development and politics with interests in Latin America, inequality and public policy.

Book Politics and the Pink Tide

Download or read book Politics and the Pink Tide written by Kathleen Bruhn and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics and the Pink Tide investigates the ways in which protest varied across five Latin American countries that elected leftist presidents during the Pink Tide. Kathleen Bruhn compares the differences in protest that occurred under the new leftist governments to their conservative, neoliberal predecessors, offering a wide-angle view into the complex relationships between neoliberalism, political party structures, and protest. Using individual and event-level data from Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, and Ecuador, Politics and the Pink Tide shows how economic policy choices and the links between leftist parties and social movements affect patterns of protest. For example, although more orthodox neoliberal approaches did motivate more economic protest, the book demonstrates that neither more radical nor more socially linked leftist governments were better able to contain protest—or to do so without resorting to police violence. Politics and the Pink Tide proposes a sweeping exploration of protest, one that is controlled by economic policy and grievances, the social embeddedness of political parties, and the norms surrounding protest tactics within public life.

The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field.

The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas.

Book The Class Struggle in Latin America

Download or read book The Class Struggle in Latin America written by James Petras and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Class Struggle in Latin America: Making History Today analyses the political and economic dynamics of development in Latin America through the lens of class struggle. Focusing in particular on Peru, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, the book identifies how the shifts and changing dynamics of the class struggle have impacted on the rise, demise and resurgence of neo-liberal regimes in Latin America. This innovative book offers a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of class struggle, engaging both the destructive forces of capitalist development and those seeking to consolidate the system and preserve the status quo, alongside the efforts of popular resistance concerned with the destructive ravages of capitalism on humankind, society and the global environment. Using theoretical observations based on empirical and historical case studies, this book argues that the class struggle remains intrinsically linked to the march of capitalist development. At a time when post-neo-liberal regimes in Latin America are faltering, this supplementary text provides a guide to the economic and political dynamics of capitalist development in the region, which will be invaluable to students and researchers of international development, anthropology and sociology, as well as those with an interest in Latin American politics and development.

Book Neoliberalism  Social Exclusion  and Social Movements

Download or read book Neoliberalism Social Exclusion and Social Movements written by Donna L. Chollett and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism, Social Exclusion, and Social Movements critically examines struggles for social justice in an era of neoliberal globalization. Chollett perceptively elucidates the intertwining of debt restructuring, the debacle of privatization, NAFTA-generated distortions in the sugar market, and social and economic exclusion of Mexican sugarcane growers and mill workers. The enclosure of community commons is but one of the devastating impacts of neoliberal policies that generated social movements across Latin America and beyond. Closure of one of Michoacán, Mexico’s five sugar mills following privatization brought unemployment and economic havoc to the region. This region is unique in that it is the only locality where a social movement repossessed the closed sugar refinery and created a cooperative, worker-run workplace. The book offers a historically contextualized, globally situated, and ethnographically grounded analysis of the social movement as sugarcane growers and mill workers challenged the end to their way of life as they knew it. It takes the reader into the very real lives of movement participants, their aspirations, struggles, and accommodations. Chollett skillfully peels back the layers of this social movement as activists sought to remake their own history, but under circumstances that did not, in the end, ensure social justice. The author demonstrates empathy for collective struggles confronting the ravages of neoliberal globalization, yet explodes the myth that intuitively exalts social movements as morally noble forces for democratization and solidarity. She offers a critical perspective on the internal factions and lack of democratization of a social movement gone awry and presents a sorely-needed critique of social movement theory. While focusing on a particular social movement, this book carries wide applicability for all social movements concerned with social justice in an era of enduring neoliberalism. It is essential reading for students, academics, activists, and policy-makers concerned with global inequalities.
