The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America - Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay

This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries' governmental policy. It presents a historicized and internationally contextualized exploration of the political economy of agrarian change in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Praguay, and Uruguay. By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.
