Geography of Trade Liberalization
Peru’s Free Trade Continuity in Comparative Perspective
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book answers why anti-trade forces in developing countries sometimes fail to effectively exert pressure on their governments. The backlash against globalization spread across several Latin American countries in the 2000s, yet a few countries such as Peru doubled down on their bets on free trade by signing bilateral agreements with the US and the EU. This study uses evidence from three Latin American countries (Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia) to suggest that geography can play a significant role in shaping trade preferences and undermining the formation and clout of distributional coalitions that seek protectionism. Because trade liberalization can have uneven distributional impacts along regional lines, trade liberalization losers can find themselves in unfavorable conditions to associate and engage in collective action. Under these circumstances, few coalitions emerge to battle for protection in the policy arena, and when they do, geographic distance from decision-makers in the capital city can be a significant barrier to realizing their interests. As a result, even where a majority of the population living in regions that have not benefitted from trade elect a leftist president, trade reform reversal will not occur unless protectionist interests are close to the capital city. The contrast between Peru, on one side, and Argentina and Bolivia, on the other, highlights the powerful influence geography can have on reversing trade policy or preserving the status quo.

Economic Elites, Political Parties and the Electoral Arena
Argentina, Chile and Uruguay in Comparative Perspective
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

This book delves into the intricate dynamics between economic elites and the political party system in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, particularly during their democratization phases in the twentieth century. It introduces a novel framework for comprehending the diverse political strategies adopted by these countries’ economic elites during this critical period. The central premise of this book is that the interplay between the cohesion of economic elites and the mobilization of popular sectors at specific historical junctures profoundly influences the nature of elite political involvement.While existing literature has extensively discussed the strategies employed by economic elites to safeguard their interests, this book takes a fresh approach by considering three primary configurations of relationships between economic elites and political parties. It explores cases where economic elites are the primary constituency of parties they have founded, as well as instances where upper-class interests are predominantly defended outside the party system through mechanisms such as the armed forces, pressure groups, and lobbying. Additionally, it examines scenarios where economic elites align themselves with parties boasting a polyclass constituency, exerting limited influence over these parties.This book goes beyond traditional analyses by proposing a theory that elucidates how the interaction between elite cohesion and popular sector mobilization determines the specific forms of elite political involvement. It also charts the historical sequences of this process, emphasizing the evolution of the causal relationship over time.To illustrate this theory, the book employs a comparative historical analysis, scrutinizing the three aforementioned cases to identify factors that account for the different forms of economic elite political participation. It discerns that the level of cohesion among economic elites and the degree of mobilization among popular sectorsare pivotal factors shaping elite-party relationships.

Politics of Agricultural Policies in Argentina and Brazil
Explaining Tax and Regulatory Policies on Commercial Agriculture during Booming Times
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Kommande
How do powerful rural actors turn wealth into political clout—and when do they fail? This book offers a comparative account of business power that speaks to political scientists well beyond agricultural policy. Tracing Argentina and Brazil during the 2000s commodity boom, it shows how economic geography, federal institutions, and party systems combine to create (or block) “institutionalized political resources”: durable legislative footholds that let elites shape national policy even under redistributive governments. Using the soy sector as a strategic case, the book explains why Argentina imposed and sustained a 35% export tax, while in Brazil agrarian interests repeatedly vetoed or watered down regulation. The analysis blends multi-year fieldwork with original legislative and production data. Linking business power, territorial politics, and comparative institutions, the book qualifies resource-curse arguments by showing how commodity prices shocks’ impact are decisively mediated by domestic political dynamics.
Political Party Survival in Latin America
The Argentine Radical Party in Comparative Perspective
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
2 079 kr
Kommande
This book develops a new framework for explaining how political parties survive severe crises in Latin America. Challenging accounts that equate survival with electoral recovery, it argues that endurance emerges from elite incentives shaped by territorial depth, organizational routines, and shifting strategic opportunities. The analysis centers on Argentina’s Radical Civic Union, showing how subnational structures and legislative footholds anchored elites after national collapse and enabled a gradual adaptation toward coalition-based relevance, culminating in the successful Cambiemos alliance in 2015. Comparative cases from Venezuela, Peru, and Costa Rica reveal why parties with similar histories failed to adapt. The concluding chapter applies the framework to Argentina’s contemporary realignment under Javier Milei, demonstrating how outsider disruption once again pushes the UCR toward strategies rooted in its organizational inheritance. Across these chapters, the book offers a theory of party survival that explains not only why some parties endure without national recovery, but also how they reinvent their political purpose in fragmented political systems.
