Why did business end up better organized in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico than in Argentina and Brazil? The explanation for the surprising cross-national variations lays neither in economic characteristics of business nor broader political parameters, but in the cumulative effect of actions of state actors. The book also considers the consequences of these differences in organization and finds that stronger encompassing associations offer government officials opportunities for concerted policy making with business that can enhance policy implementation. The strong hand of the state in organizing business has important implications not only for theories of collective action, but also for our understanding of civil society and its potential to promote democratization. 517 3 $aBusiness Politics & the State in Twentieth-Century Latin America 606 $aBusiness and politics$zLatin America$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndustrial policy$zLatin America$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aBusiness and politics$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial policy$xHistory 676 $a322/.3/098 700 $aSchneider$b Ben Ross$01512798 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784306003321 996 $aBusiness politics and the State in twentieth-century Latin America$93746911 997 $aUNINA
