2009 Best Book, International Political Economy Group of the British International Studies Association
This ambitious volume chronicles and analyzes from a critical globalization perspective the social, economic, and political changes sweeping across Latin America from the 1970s through the present day. William I. Robinson summarizes his theory of globalization and discusses how Latin America's political economy has changed as the states integrate into the new global production and financial system, focusing specifically on the rise of nontraditional agricultural exports, the explosion of maquiladoras, transnational tourism, and the export of labor and import of remittances. He follows with an overview of the clash among global capitalist forces, neoliberalism, and the new left in Latin America, looking closely at the challenges and dilemmas faced by resistance movements and at their prospects for success.
"A scathing indictment of neoliberal globalization from an explicitly anti-capitalist perspective."--Monthly Review
"An important book for anyone interested in where our imperiled planet is headed."--San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Robinson's latest book offers brilliant insight into the underlying causes and current dilemmas of globalization."--NACLA Report on the Americas
William I. Robinson is a professor of sociology, global studies, and Latin American and Iberian studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of several books on globalization, including A Theory of Global Capitalism, also published by Johns Hopkins.
