El gran desafío. La nueva constitución
Este libro ofrece una interpretación de las causas por las que Chile entró, desde hace años, en una fase de desarrollo económico y social mediocre. Se argumenta que la conjunción del estancamiento económico, la percepción de abusos por parte de la élite, la globalización y las redes sociales han ido creando un profundo malestar en las personas, y en especial en la clase media emergente. Dicho malestar habría sido una de las principales causas de las movilizaciones masivas que tuvieron lugar a partir del 18 de octubre. En el libro se critican las interpretaciones más frecuentes, o dominantes, tanto de las causas del malestar, como del modo en que está funcionando la economía y la política. Se afirma que esas versiones dominantes son mitos, sin base en la realidad, que se han impuesto no porque sean verdaderas, sino porque en su extrema simplicidad ofrecen atributos comunicacionales que favorecen su difusión. Por último, se presenta una propuesta de reformas a la Constitución que, a juicio del autor, podrían contribuir a recuperar un desarrollo económico y social acelerado, así como a enfrentar el hondo malestar que afecta a buena parte del país.

Debt, Development, and Democracy
In the 1970s and 1980s the countries of Latin America dealt with their similar debt problems in very different ways--ranging from militantly market-oriented approaches to massive state intervention in their economies--while their political systems headed toward either democracy or authoritarianism. Applying the tools of modern political economy to a developing-country context, Jeffry Frieden analyzes the different patterns of national economic and political behavior that arose in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Venezuela. This book will be useful to those interested in comparative politics, international studies, development studies, and political economy more generally. "Jeffry Frieden weaves together a powerful theoretical framework with comparative case studies of the region's five largest debtor states. The result is the most insightful analysis to date of how the interplay between politics and economics in post-war Latin America set the stage for the dramatic events of the 1980s."--Carol Wise, Center for Politics and Policy, Claremont Graduate School

Working Through the Past
Democratization in the developing and postcommunist world has yielded limited gains for labor. Explanations for this phenomenon have focused on the effect of economic crisis and globalization on the capacities of unions to become influential political actors and to secure policies that benefit their members. In contrast, the contributors to Working through the Past highlight the critical role that authoritarian legacies play in shaping labor politics in new democracies, providing the first cross-regional analysis of the impact of authoritarianism on labor, focusing on East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Legacies from the predemocratic era shape labor’s present in wa...
