Reshaping the Political Arena in Latin America - From Resisting Neoliberalism to the Second Incorporation

Examines the role played in the second wave of incorporation by political parties, trade unions, and social movements in five cases: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The cases shed new light on a subject critical to understanding the change in the distribution of political power related to popular sectors and their interests - a key issue in the study of post-neoliberalism.
