This is the first book to systematically examine the policies and performance of the left-wing governments that have risen to power in Latin America during the last decade. Featuring thorough studies of Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela by renowned experts, the volume argues that moderate leftist governments have attained greater, more sustainable success than their more radical, contestatory counterparts. Moderate governments in Brazil and Chile have generated solid economic growth, reduced poverty and inequality, and created innovative and fiscally sound social programs, while respecting the fundamental principles of market economics and liberal democracy. By contrast, more radical governments, exemplified by Hugo Chv̀ez in Venezuela, have expanded state intervention and popular participation and attained some short-term economic and social successes, but they have provoked severe conflict, undermined democracy, and failed to ensure the economic and institutional sustainability of their policy projects"--Provided by publisher. 000347932 650_0 $$aSocialism$$zLatin America. 000347932 651_0 $$aLatin America$$xPolitics and government$$y1980- 000347932 7001_ $$aWeyland, Kurt Gerhard. 000347932 7001_ $$aMadrid, Raúl L. 000347932 7001_ $$aHunter, Wendy. 000347932 85200 $$bgen$$hJL960$$i.L43$$i2010 000347932 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1005/2010000987-b.html 000347932 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1005/2010000987-t.html 000347932 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1006/2010000987-d.html 000347932 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:347932$$pGLOBAL_SET 000347932 980__ $$aBIB 000347932 980__ $$aBOOK
