Description
Latin America has undergone profound transformation in the 21st century. The continent has been fully integrated into the global economy while excluding certain regions and populations. This shift has led to the emergence of new identities and the reshaping of old ones. The transformation has been shaped by social movements, political conflicts, and the rise and fall of economic models. A neoliberal model dominated the first stage, but its collapse led to the emergence of a neo-developmentalist alternative. However, this new model was also vulnerable to corruption and ultimately undermined by widespread discontent among citizens. This comprehensive account provides an up-to-date overview of the new Latin America, shaped by ongoing social movements and political upheaval. It will be essential reading for those studying Latin American Studies, sociology, politics, or media and communication studies, as well as anyone interested in understanding contemporary developments on the continent.
