Markets and Politics after Neoliberalism: Empirical Evidence and Theoretical Insights

Thu, May 28, 6:00 to 7:45pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel sheds new light on the complex dynamics through which markets and politics intertwine in contemporary Latin America. In the 1980s and 1990s, market-oriented reformers assumed that by applying the neoliberal agenda the economy would henceforth be isolated from politics. The papers in this panel show why this assumption was wrong: the evolution of post-reform markets can only be understood by tracing the interactions among politicians, business, and state bureaucrats. Once established, new markets have furthermore shaped the region’s political landscape. Drawing on cases from several Latin American countries, these papers offer new lenses to characterize and explain variation and commonalities in the new political economy of Latin America after neoliberal reforms.
