Neoliberalism and Class Conflict in Latin America (eBook, PDF)

A Comparative Perspective on the Political Economy of Structural Adjustment

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The 1980s in Latin America saw the implementation of a sweeping programme of economic reforms, either imposed as a condition for securing new loans or to embrace the neoliberal doctrine of structural adjustment, the ideology of a newly formed transnational capitalist class. However, the structural adjustment programme also generated widespread resistance, especially from within the popular sector of civil society. This book analyses both the politics of the adjustment process and the political dynamics of this resistance in Latin America.
