In an overview of the history of the region over the past twenty-five years, this book traces the intellectual and political origins of the Washington Consensus, assesses its impact on democracy and economic development and discusses whether the emergence of a variety of left- wing governments in the region represents a clear break with the politics and policies of the Washington Consensus. Clearly written and rigorously argued, the book will be of interest to academics, students of Latin American politics and anybody interested in understanding contemporary Latin America.
