Understanding Latin American Politics: Analytic Models & Intellectual Traditions

Corporatism, liberal developmentalism, and dependencia are the major approaches to the study of Latin American politics one is likely to encounter in recent and current scholarship. The proponents of each urge its adoption to the exclusion of others. Professors Martz and Myers argue that this inclination produces generalizations that not only misrepresent the reality of Latin American politics but also fail to convey the rich diversity of its intellectual tradition in which monism, liberal pluralism, and Marxism have long coexisted, even mingled.
