Gutierrez's victory was viewed as a major advance for the country in its 500 year-long struggle for freedom and democracy. In Bolivia, Evo Morales similarly came within an electoral whisker of achieving state power in 2002, and in 2003 Nestor Kirchner became President of Argentina. Many journalists , academics and politicians speak of a "left-turn" in Latin America, characterizing these regimes as "center -left";. They came to power on the promise of delivering a fundamental change of direction that would steer their countries away from neo-liberal economic policies, and towards greater social equity. Their success awakened major hopes on the Left for a new dawn in Latin American politics. This book challenges these assumptions. It critically examines their agreements with the IMF, their social and economic policies, and the economic ties of leading policy makers, as well as the beneficiaries and losers under these regimes. Latin America is unique in that it has experienced two decades of popular resistance to neo-liberal policies: each of the four countries examined here has a rich history of diverse indigenous and working class movements coming together to promote radical political change. The authors examine the political dynamics between the state and its agenda, and the strategy of mass mobilisation taken by the mass movements. They explore the intensifying conflicts between the movements and their former allies in the state. 606 $aPolitical participation$zLatin America$vCase studies 606 $aSocial movements$zLatin America$vCase studies 607 $aArgentina$xPolitics and government$y2002- 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y1985-2002 607 $aBolivia$xPolitics and government$y1982-2006 607 $aEcuador$xPolitics and government$y1984- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aSocial movements 676 $a322.4/098 700 $aPetras$b James F.$f1937-$0267474 701 $aVeltmeyer$b Henry$0267475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454696803321 996 $aSocial movements and state power$92140811 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04355nam 2200805 a 450 001 9910779051503321 005 20230802004733.0 010 $a1-84769-611-2 010 $a1-280-12090-8 010 $a9786613524768 010 $a1-84769-610-4 024 7 $a10.21832/9781847696106 035 $a(CKB)2550000000089268 035 $a(EBL)922849 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000648602 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11435085 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000648602 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10600539 035 $a(PQKB)10665344 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC922849 035 $a(DE-B1597)513548 035 $a(OCoLC)777558489 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781847696106 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL922849 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10532046 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL352476 035 $a(OCoLC)863821384 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000089268 100 $a20111130d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aContext, individual differences and pragmatic competence$b[electronic resource] /$fNaoko Taguchi 210 $aBristol ;$aBuffalo $cMultilingual Matters$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (316 p.) 225 1 $aSecond language acquisition ;$v[62] 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-84769-608-2 311 $a1-84769-609-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tPreface -- $t1.

The ability to use language in a socially appropriate manner is critical, as lack of it may lead to cross-cultural miscommunication or cultural stereotyping. This book describes second language learners? development of pragmatic competence. It proposes an original theoretical framework combining a pragmatics and psycholinguistics approach, and uses a variety of research instruments, both quantitative and qualitative, to describe pragmatic development over one year. Situated in a bilingual university in Japan, the study reveals patterns of change across different pragmatic abilities among Japanese learners of English. The book offers implications for SLA theories, the teaching and assessment of pragmatic competence, and intercultural communication. 410 0$aSecond language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;$v62. 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zJapan 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aCommunicative competence 610 $aJapanese learners of English. 610 $aSLA. 610 $aSecond Language Acquisition. 610 $aintercultural communication. 610 $alanguage use and social contexts. 610 $alearn English and pragmatics. 610 $apragmatic competence. 610 $apragmatics. 610 $apsycholinguistics. 610 $asecond language learners? development of pragmatic competence. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aCommunicative competence. 676 $a428.0071/052 700 $aTaguchi$b Naoko$f1967-$01529255 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779051503321 996 $aContext, individual differences and pragmatic competence$93808946 997 $aUNINA
