The study argues that societal dynamics have path-dependent consequences at two critical points: the initial consolidation of national institutions in the wake of independence, and at the time when the 'social question' of mass political incorporation forced its way into the national political agenda across the region during the Great Depression. Dynamics set into motion at these points in time have produced widely varying and stable distributions of state capacity in the region. Marcus J. Kurtz tests this argument using structured comparisons of the post-independence political development of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Uruguay. 606 $aNation-building$zLatin America$xHistory 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government 607 $aLatin America$xSocial conditions 615 0$aNation-building$xHistory. 676 $a320.98 700 $aKurtz$b Marcus J.$01032127 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452643803321 996 $aLatin American state building in comparative perspective$92449802 997 $aUNINA
