Book Description
Christian Democracy swept across parts of Latin America, gaining influence in Venezuela in the 1940s, Chile in the 1950s, El Salvador and Guatemala in the 1960s, and Costa Rica and Mexico in the 1980s. This book offers an overview of Christian Democracy in the region underscoring its remarkable diversityand examines the Christian Democratic organizations of Chile and Mexico, which are still major parties today. The concluding section analyzes the demise of formerly significant Christian Democratic parties in El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, and Venezuela. Christian Democracy in Latin America provides the definitive stufy of the nature, rise, and decline of Christian Democracy in Latin America. The book enriches the broader theoretical literature on political parties by highlighting the distinctive strategic dilemmas parties face, and the distinctive objectives they pursue, in contexts of fragile democracy or of authoritarian regimes.

Book Description
Los estudios compilados en el libro analizan el papel y el impacto que la democracia cristiana y los partidos democratacristianos han tenido en la configuración de la vida política de Latinoamérica. Estos estudios nos muestran cómo la democracia cristiana en estas latitudes ha irrumpido en el campo de la pluralidad, en ocasiones acercándose al socialismo y a la izquierda, y en otras mostrándose defensora e impulsora de la iniciativa privada. Asimismo, dichos estudios han logrado introducir la realidad de setos partidos en un escenario más allá del catolicismo, es decir, como verdaderos grupos políticos que han luchado por instaurar la democracia en sus países, contextualizando la situación de los mismos en una época en que toda Latinoamérica era objeto de regímenes opresores.

Book Description
Latin America: It's Future in the Global Economy is a timely contribution to the effort to meet the complex challenges entailed in Latin America's increasing participation in world markets. Taking into account the recent changes in the region and a future WTO conference, twelve economists and two international trade lawyers provide a framework for the analysis of trade negotiations by identifying key points of disagreement among trading partners, and discuss controversial issues such as the environment, labour and agriculture, exceptional protection, investment, services, e-commerce and the efficiency of the dispute settlement mechanism. The contributors identify the optimum approach for Latin America to take in protecting its interests and enhancing its advantages in global trade, and assess the various tools that negotiators might use during the forthcoming round of multilateral negotiations. They make concrete recommendations concerning trade strategy, policy, implementation and management together with suggestions as to how Latin America and other developing countries can increase their bargaining power in order to deal with new circumstances as they arise.
