This is the second and final volume of a collection of studies on the role of the state in capital accumulation in Latin America. Volume One included a general historical and conceptual introduction and case studies of Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The present volume covers the remaining countries of South America (with the exception of Paraguay). Together, the ten countries examined in the two volumes represent 89% of the Latin American population and 94% of the continent's GDP.

Non-Alignment is back with a vengeance. In recent years, the number of countries embracing this venerable approach to foreign policy has increased exponentially, making it a force to be reckoned with in world affairs. The war in Ukraine, the expansion of the BRICS group, and the conflict in Gaza have given a special impetus to its rise in a new form: Active Non-Alignment (ANA). This has gone hand-in-hand with the growing power and influence of the Global South in world politics.  In this agenda-setting book, Jorge Heine, Carlos Fortin and Carlos Ominami, explain the origins, dynamics and significance of ANA, for the future of world order. Far from a transitory expression of the current state of affairs, they argue that ANA is here to stay. It provides a powerful guide to action and a fine-tuned compass for the Global Majority, that is, the countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to strike out and prioritize their national interests, whilst navigating the perilous waters of a troubled world in the throes of change.

Latin America, with 8 percent of the world’s population and 30 percent of the world’s deaths from COVID-19, is Ground Zero of the pandemic. The region has also had the world’s worst economic performance in this period. Moreover, it is presently caught in the Second Cold War that is emerging between the United States and China. In this context, the active non-alignment option constitutes an imaginative and creative way out of the current crisis.

Las diversas perspectivas expuestas en este libro tienen un hilo conductor: una visión del mundo contemporáneo como un sistema internacional en transformación, con un poder hegemónico en declinación, nuevos actores y nuevas configuraciones de alianzas y rivalidades, así como nuevas agendas y desafíos. La caracterización más precisa de esta situación suscita una variedad de respuestas entre los autores, figuras muy destacadas del ámbito de la investigación en ciencias sociales, la academia y el ejercicio de altas responsabilidades políticas en diversos países de Latinoamérica.Es en este escenario marcado por la incertidumbre, surge la propuesta de No Alineamiento Activo (NAA) como una doctrina de política exterior sustentada en principios fundamentales y no simplemente intereses contingentes. Ella no se confunde con un pragmatismo que termina siempre en oportunismo. El NAA puede generar una respetabilidad y un posicionamiento internacional que no asegura ningún tipo de alineamiento. Constituida en doctrina latinoamericana podría sacar a la región de la marginalidad e irrelevancia de hoy.Esteban Actis - Antonio Ruy de Almeida Silva - Leslie Elliott Armijo - Celso Amorim - Alicia Bárcena- Humberto Campodónico - Jorge Castañeda Nicolás Creus - Carlos Fortin - Jorge Heine - Sebastián Herreros - Mónica Herz - José Miguel Insulza - Danilo Marcondes - Carlos Ominami Rafael Roncagliolo - Osvaldo Rosales - Roberto Savio - Andrés Serbin - Bárbara Stallings - Oliver Stuenkel - Jorge Taiana - Juan Gabriel Tokatlian Diana Tussie
