With special focus on the relationship between the movement and the neoliberal state, Simon Granovsky-Larsen asks whether the acceptance of neoliberal resources  in this case, support for land access in Guatemala provided by the World Bank-funded \u003ci\u003eFondo de Tierras\u003c\/i\u003e  reduces the potential for social movements to continue to work for transformative change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePositioned in contrast to studies warning that social movements cannot maintain their original vision after accepting such support, this bookargues that organizations within the Guatemalan campesino movement have engaged strategically with neoliberalism, utilizing available resources to advance visions of social change. Using a wealth of primary data collected over more than a year of fieldwork, it contributes significantly to the study of Guatemalan politics and advances understandings of the grounded operation of neoliberalism. Exploring both the dynamics of a national neoliberal transition and the ways in which these play out within civil society, \u003ci\u003eDealing with Peace\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the long-term and often contradictory negotiation of political and economic transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919507407006,"sku":"ING-9781487501433","price":110.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487501433.jpg?v=1782813276","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487501433","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
