Organized Business, Economic Change, and Democracy in Latin America

by Francisco Durand (Editor), Eduardo Silva (Editor)

Analyzes the extent to which economic and political changes have convinced business elites to strengthen their employer associations and to use them, instead of less institutionalized means, to influence the economic policy making process. Also explored are implications of these changes for the consolidation of democracy. Subjects include the fragmentation of business in Brazil, political struggle and business peak associations, and free market economic reform in Mexico. Distributed by Lynne Rienner.
