The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America. 410 0$aPalgrave studies in Latin American heterodox economics. 606 $aEconomic development$zLatin America 606 $aInternational business enterprises$zLatin America$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xHistory 676 $a338.98 702 $aBasualdo$b Victoria 702 $aBerghoff$b Hartmut 702 $aBucheli$b Marcelo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484584503321 996 $aBig business and dictatorships in Latin America$92844733 997 $aUNINA
