Book Description
Esta serie de cuatro tomos es el resultado final del Seminario Internacional sobre Nuevos Procesos Rurales que se llevo a cabo del 30 de mayo al 3 de junio de 1994 en Taxco, Guerrero. La temática del congreso fue amplia, tratando de abarcar el conjunto de problemas y tendencias que despuntan en el campo en este fin de milenio. Esto nos llevo a rebasar la tradicional problemática sobre la cuestión agraria, o campesina, para referirnos al medio rural y su nueva relación con la industria y el mundo urbano. En este cuarto tomo presentamos algunos estudios de caso de la acción de los actores frente a la política gubernamental. En este libro se reafirma el planteamiento hecho en el I de esta serie que propone que los actores tienen la capacidad de moldear y darle una configuración regional a las macropoliticas. De los estudios aquí reunidos se desprende un nuevo panorama de la situación social en el campo. Existe una amplia dispersión de los procesos de organización, los grandes frentes nacionales (o centrales) se ven desplazados por procesos locales de organización, por lo tanto las demandas económicas y los procesos de negociación se pulverizan y se resuelven “caso por caso”. Pero también surgen, con fuerza inaudita, nuevas demandas de corte político que pueden servir de punto de unidad nacional para volver a cohesionar el movimiento social, tanto en el campo como en la ciudad: la democracia, los derechos humanos, la justicia social entendida como la existencia de un Estado capaz de asegurar las necesidades básicas de alimentación, servicios y educación de la población.

Book Description
In a primary commodities boom spurred on by the rise of China, countries the world over are turning to the extraction of natural resources and the export of primary commodities as an antidote to the global recession. The New Extractivism addresses a fundamental dilemma faced by these governments: to pursue, or not, a development strategy based on resource extraction in the face of immense social and environmental costs, not to mention mass resistance from the people negatively affected by it. With fresh insight and analysis from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, this book looks at the political dynamics of capitalist development in a region where the neoliberal model is collapsing under the weight of a resistance movement lead by peasant farmers and indigenous communities. It calls for us to understand the new extractivism not as a viable development model for the post-neoliberal world, but as the dangerous emergence of a new form of imperialism.

Book Description
The Class Struggle in Latin America: Making History Today analyses the political and economic dynamics of development in Latin America through the lens of class struggle. Focusing in particular on Peru, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, the book identifies how the shifts and changing dynamics of the class struggle have impacted on the rise, demise and resurgence of neo-liberal regimes in Latin America. This innovative book offers a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of class struggle, engaging both the destructive forces of capitalist development and those seeking to consolidate the system and preserve the status quo, alongside the efforts of popular resistance concerned with the destructive ravages of capitalism on humankind, society and the global environment. Using theoretical observations based on empirical and historical case studies, this book argues that the class struggle remains intrinsically linked to the march of capitalist development. At a time when post-neo-liberal regimes in Latin America are faltering, this supplementary text provides a guide to the economic and political dynamics of capitalist development in the region, which will be invaluable to students and researchers of international development, anthropology and sociology, as well as those with an interest in Latin American politics and development.

Book Description
Mexico in Transition provides a wide-ranging, empirical and up-to-date survey of the multiple impacts neoliberal policies have had in practice in Mexico over twenty years, and the specific impacts of the NAFTA Agreement. The volume covers a wide terrain, including the effects of globalization on peasants; the impact of neoliberalism on wages, trade unions, and specifically women workers; the emergence of new social movements El Barzón and the Zapatistas (EZLN); how the environment, especially biodiversity, has become a target for colonization by transnational corporations; the political issue of migration to the United States; and the complicated intersections of economic and political liberalization. Mexico in Transition provides rich concrete evidence of what happens to the different sectors of an economy, its people, and natural resources, as the profound change of direction that neoliberal policy represents takes hold. It also describes and explains the diverse forms of resistance and challenge that different civil-society groups of those affected are now offering to a model the downsides of which are becoming increasingly manifest.
