“One of the definite merits of this book is to cleverly mix a theoretical breakthrough with a meticulous historical and empirical account of the transformations of some key Latin American countries. First, it is at the frontier of a research agenda initiated back to the end of the 1970s, second it clearly distinguishes between an ideal-type approach and the complexity of any specific national configuration and its transformation in history. Furthermore, the author provides decisive arguments against a pure economic determinism too frequently supposed to govern institutions building and reforms. Last but not least, the book culminates by an impressive analysis of the crises that quite any Latin America society experiences at the end the 2010s.” -Robert Boyer, Institut des Amériques, Paris, France. This book defends the idea that there are significant structural and institutional differences between the countries in Latin America. Building off the results of a four-year research project, Bizberg argues against the idea that in Latin America there is one single type of capitalism—a hierarchical one—that is entangled in a vicious cycle. Rather, there are clusters of countries that have had similar historical trajectories, analogous structures, or comparable reactions to changes to the world economy, but have not all followed the same mode of development. Just as analysts have found a variety of capitalisms in developed countries, it is possible to identify the emergence of different types of capitalism in Latin America since the 1980s debt crisis. These varieties of capitalism are defined according to categories—including the articulation to the world economy, the role of the State, the structure of the political system and the action of civil society—which give rise to distinct wage relations, comprising the industrial relations system and the welfare regime.

Cualquiera pudo pensar que el fin de la guerra fría marcaría más certezas que debilidades. Sin embargo, esta obra nos permite reflexionar sobre sus consecuencias: la desaparición de bloques y con ello el cierto equilibrio que éstos imponían al sistema internacional o interestatal. Bajo este marco, cada país está atenido a sus propias capacidades y fuerzas y la acción internacional no se definirá más por un frío cálculo racional, sea económico o de otro tipo, sino que estará definida (por lo menos parcialmente) en términos ideológicos y éticos. ¿En qué contexto se define, entonces, la política exterior de nuestro país?

Getting Globalization Right explores political and economic changes in seven new democracies that have in common both a movement toward greater integration with the world economy and the challenges posed by persistent or even increasing domestic economic inequalities. The authors argue that, without effective national policies to dampen the effects of globalization, the short-term impact of opening the economy has a negative effect on levels of poverty and inequality. In a more positive vein, however, and without minimizing the difficulties involved, they identify the types of social policies that can blunt or counter these negative effects. They also suggest that international governance will have a growing influence on how globalization affects individual nations. The up-to-date, empirically rich case studies in the book cover the experiences of Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, and Turkey.

As electoral politics in Mexico have become more open and democratic, the country's economy also has been thoroughly restructured and new ideas about government, state-society relations, and Mexico's place in the international system have taken hold. Mexico's Politics and Society in Transition explores these interrelated trends. Offering fresh perspectives on the contemporary problems on the Mexican agenda, the authors cogently discuss the politics of change, the challenges of social development, and the realities of building a productive, mutually beneficial U.S.-Mexico relationship.

Dix ans après la signature du traité instituant l'Accord de libre-échange de l'Amérique du Nord (ALENA) et à l'heure où le projet de Zone de libre-échange des Amériques (ZLEA) semblait devoir se concrétiser pour 2005, il était temps de dresser, pour la première fois en France, un bilan des effets, tant sociaux et culturels qu'économiques, de cet accord et des débats qu'il a suscités au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Mexique. L'ALENA est ici traité comme un exemple particulièrement démonstratif des nouveaux processus d'intégration régionale qui ont connu une intensification remarquable pendant la dernière décennie, tant en Amérique que dans le reste du monde. Les questions importantes soulevées au moment de sa signature et de sa ratification restent d'actualité : questions politiques au sens large, qui portent sur la souveraineté des États contractants, la protection des droits des travailleurs et de l'environnement, mais aussi conséquences économiques, territoriales et sociales d'une nouvelle configuration géopolitique, représentant un « bloc » de 400 millions d'habitants. Ces questions sont abordées ici dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, favorisée par la diversité des points de vue portés sur l'intégration nord-américaine par une vingtaine d'universitaires et de chercheurs mexicains, canadiens, américains et français.
