It has suffered waves of repressive authoritarian rule, organized armed insurgency and civil war, violent protest, and ballooning rates of criminal violence. But is violence hard wired into Latin America? This is a critical reassessment of the ways in which violence in Latin America is addressed and understood. Previous approaches have relied on structural perspectives, attributing the problem of violence to Latin America's colonial past or its conflictual contemporary politics. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this volume argues that violence is often rooted more in contingent outcomes than in deeply embedded structures. Addressing topics ranging from the root sources of violence in Haiti to kidnapping in Colombia, from the role of property rights in patterns of violence to the challenges of peacebuilding, The Politics of Violence in Latin America is an essential step towards understanding the causes and contexts of violence--and changing the mechanisms that produce it. 410 0$aLatin American and Caribbean series ;$vno. 15. 606 $aViolence$xPolitical aspects$zLatin America 606 $aViolence$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aViolence$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aViolence$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a303.6098 702 $aPoliczer$b Pablo 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411918903321 996 $aThe politics of violence in Latin America$92233228 997 $aUNINA
