On the state of Latin American states: approaching the bicentenary
Praca recenzowana / Peer-reviewed paperWhat is the actual condition of the state in Latin America? Each contributor to
this volume has been invited to answer this question by writing an interpretative
essay from a specifically suggested angle: the origins of the state; government
and society; economic growth; society and economy; nation-building;
the indigenous population; political culture; international relations etc. It was
the contributors’ decision which particular states to focus on in order to best
illuminate the issues involved.
Our main focus in the volume is on outlining some of the processes concerning
the state now, two hundred years since the first declarations of independence.
Along the way, we tackle both theoretical and normative issues. All
the contributors to this volume share a long-cultivated multidisciplinary research
interest in Latin America but the volume also reflects our disagreement
on what we take the state to be as well as on the prevailing situation in Latin
America.
Each chapter reflects the views of its author all the way down to his choice
of British or American English. As a result all chapters reflect the authors’
views on the contemporary state of the State in Latin America, as well as – why
not say it – the authors’ identities.
The book is aimed primarily at academics and students of the humanities
and social sciences
