The 2021 volume of the benchmark bibliography of Latin American Studies.
Como parte de un nuevo proyecto institucional, la Flacso México asume el reto de un debate renovado e innovador de las ciencias sociales en tanto eje transversal de su agenda de docencia e investigación. Renovado para hacer un corte de caja de las teorías tradicionales y dominantes a fin de valorar sus límites y avances descriptivos, explicativos y causales. Innovador porque construye e impulsa nuevas aplicaciones y coproducción del conocimiento científico social desde enfoques multidisciplinarios e interdisciplinarios, reforzando la tríada teoría, método-metodologías y evidencia. Esta serie forma parte de ese reto y busca repensar la relevancia indiscutible de los aportes de las c...
Por su rigor científico, este libro es un avance notable en el estado del arte sobre el proceso político de América Latina denominado giro a la izquierda. La lectura de esta obra nos muestra que la izquierda no es una sola, que en ella coexisten vertientes que, por ejemplo, van del caudillismo y el populismo a la socialdemocracia y que además de ser en principio una crítica del libre mercado, de las prácticas corruptas y clientelares de los partidos y del sistema político al que atribuía la desigualdad social y la pobreza, ha ensayado soluciones como el gasto social, la búsqueda de la inclusion o reformas más profundas que pretendieron ampliar la participación de la ciudadanía.

In the opening years of this century, a left-indigenous insurrectionary cycle in Bolivia mounted the most radical challenge to neoliberalism in the Western hemisphere. This book provides a Marxist and indigenous-liberationist analysis of this revolutionary epoch and is historical context.

Market Justice explores the challenges for the new global left as it seeks to construct alternative means of societal organization. Focusing on Bolivia, Brent Z. Kaup examines a testing ground of neoliberal and counter-neoliberal policies and an exemplar of bottom-up globalization. Kaup argues that radical shifts towards and away from free market economic trajectories are not merely shaped by battles between transnational actors and local populations, but also by conflicts between competing domestic elites and the ability of the oppressed to overcome traditional class divides. Further, the author asserts that struggles against free markets are not evidence of opposition to globalization or transnational corporations. They should instead be understood as struggles over the forms of global integration and who benefits from them.
This Element documents the diversity and dissensus of scholarship on the political resource curse, diagnoses its sources, and directs scholarly attention towards what the authors believe will be more fruitful avenues of future research. In the scholarship to date, there is substantial regional heterogeneity and substantial evidence denying the existence of a political resource curse. This dissensus is located in theory, measure, and research design, especially regarding measurement error and endogenous selection. The work then turns to strategies for reconnecting research on resource politics to the broader literature on democratic development. Finally, the results of the authors' own research is presented, showing that a set of historically contingent events in the Middle East and North Africa are at the root of what has been mistaken for a global political resource curse.
