Fernando Leiva analyzes neostructuralism and questions its credibility as the answer to the region's economic, political, and social woes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecent electoral victories by progressive governments in Latin America promising economic growth, social equity, and political democracy raise a number of urgent questions, including: What are the key strengths and weaknesses of the emerging paradigm? What kinds of transformations can this movement enact? Leiva addresses these issues and argues that the power relations embedded in local institutions, culture, and populations must be recognized when building alternatives to the present order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidering the governments in countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, Leiva examines neostructuralism's impact on global politics and challenges whether this paradigm constitutes a genuine alternative to neoliberalism or is, rather, a more sophisticated form of consolidating existing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919103836318,"sku":"ING-9780816653294","price":41.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780816653294.jpg?v=1782807761","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780816653294","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
