A discussion of new configurations of the modern state & political power that have emerged in Latin American since the 1980s focuses on the impact of policies implemented in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, & Venezuela for the purpose of integrating their economies into capital globalization. Strategies include an export model based on specialized industrial production, introduction of new financial markets, lowering of wages, fragmentation of local areas, state bureaucratic-authoritarian reform, privatization, & redemocratization. An exploration of the limits & contradictions of policies designed to consolidate Latin American economies into the global market is followed by an analysis of bureaucratic power, political institutions, & the numerous groups involved in relations of domination between the state, classes, & social groups. Weaknesses of democracy & authoritarian forms of political rule are discussed, along with three types of state crises enhanced by the globalization of capital: the crisis of sovereignty, the crisis of the interventionist state, & the crisis of representative political institutions. 25 References.
