Sybil Rhodes looks at how hasty privatization of state-owned telephone companies led to short-term economic windfalls for multinational corporations but long-term instability due to consumer movements or the threat of them. Eventually these governments implemented consumer-friendly regulation as a belated form of damage control. In contrast, governments that privatized through more gradual, democratic processes were able to make credible commitments to their citizens as well as to their multinational investors by including regulatory regimes with consumer protection mechanisms built in. Rhodes illustrates how consumers—previously unacknowledged actors in studies of social movements, market reforms, and democratizations in and beyond Latin America—are indispensable to understanding the political and social implications of these broad global trends.Consumer protectionLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryProtest movementsLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryTelecommunicationPrivatizationLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryConsumer protectionHistoryProtest movementsHistoryTelecommunicationPrivatizationHistory384/.041Rhodes Sybil1969-596116MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953497703321Social movements and free-market capitalism in Latin America4361947UNINA
