| Summary: |
Economic Development Strategies and the Evolution of Violence in Latin America explores the links between Latin American governments' economic policies and the nature and dyclmics of inter-group violence. The contributions, based on the patterns of ten countries, trace the remarkable transformation from open ideological conflict to the explosion of social (seemingly apolitical) violence, the upsurge of urban crime, and the confrontations over natural resources and drugs across the region, spanning from Mexico to Argentina. The variations in economic success and in addressing the risks of violence can guide policymakers, development professionals, and activists committed to conflict-sensitive development. |
