Miguel A. Centeno is Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton University. He has taught at Princeton for over twenty-five years and is well known for his work on Latin America, state capacities, war, and globalization. Agustin E. Ferraro is a Professor at the University of Salamanca. He has more than fifteen years of experience working for governments, NGO's and international organizations in diverse fields of public policy: state and civil service reforms, education, public security, and social policy.

'For years, scholars and pundits presumed that neoliberalism meant dismantling the modern state's involvement in economic and social affairs, and that Latin America was a laboratory for the global roll-back to free markets and civil society. The authors and editors of this book dispel that myth. They show how important the state was to the remaking of social relations. This volume is a major contribution to our understanding of the history of globalization.' Jeremy I. Adelman, Henry Charles Lea Professor of History, Princeton University
