Enduring Reform - Progressive Activism and Private Sector Responses in Latin America's Democracies

Over the last twenty years, business responses to progressive reform in Latin America have shifted dramatically. The case studies in this volume show how business responses to reform have become more open-ended as Latin America's democracies have deepened, with repression tempered by the economic uncertainties of globalization, the political and legal constraints of democracy, and shifting cultural understandings of poverty and race.
