Book description

‘Development and Semi-periphery’ presents a collection of articles that focus on comparative analysis of development trajectories in the semi-peripheral countries of South America and Central Eastern Europe. As opposed to the transitology studies that were prevalent in the 1990s, and that treated the neoliberal context in these two regions separately, the articles in this book instead offer a new comparative analysis focusing on the consequences of neoliberal reforms and the new actors that deal with their results. The essays discuss the various forms of state that have unfolded in different peripheral countries, their role in the social engineering of economic models and social policies, and the impact of state capacities and ideas on institutional innovation. The volume also compares transformations in political culture, collective identities and contentious politics in both areas.

Reviews

"“Of the emerging economies, those of Latin America and Eastern Europe receive less attention than China and India. This important volume will contribute to changing this situation. From a global comparative perspective, it sheds light on economic development and on political and politico-cultural changes over the last twenty years, and offers discussion of theoretical issues.”"

Becker Uwe Source: Advance Praise

"“This volume revives the debates in comparative political economy concerning East European and Latin American transformations. Much can be learned from the diverse experiences of peripherality, development, and the different patterns of insertion into the flows of global capitalism. Bringing together a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, the collection discusses the topics of macroeconomic transformations, state capacity and policies of development, the role of the elites and the diffusion of ideas, and cultural and identity politics.”"
