State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 3 cover

An original study of neoliberalism as a state model: a power structure configured to implement radical policy proposals.

This book thoroughly examines the neoliberal state and its era in Latin America and Spain. It explores neoliberal public policies, power strategies, institutional resources, popular support, and social protest. The book advances neoliberalism as a state model: a power structure configured to implement radical policy proposals.Neoliberalism is often studied as a political ideology, a government program, and even as a pattern of cultural identities. However, less attention is paid to the specific institutional resources employed by neoliberal administrations, which have resulted in the configuration of a neoliberal state model. This accessible volume compiles original essays on the neoliberal era in Latin America and Spain, exploring subjects such as neoliberal public policies, power strategies, institutional resources, popular support, and social protest. The book focuses on neoliberalism as a state model: a configuration of public power designed to implement radical policy proposals. This is the third volume in the State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain series, which aims to complete and advance research and knowledge about national states in Latin America and Spain.
