Social Demo in Global Periphery

Meer over het boek

Focusing on social-democratic regimes in the developing world, the book examines how these nations reconcile global market growth with the expansion of rights. Through a comparative analysis of Kerala, Costa Rica, Mauritius, and Chile since 1990, the authors reveal that significant social progress is possible despite a global economic system favoring industrialized countries. They argue that pragmatic social-democratic movements have fostered conditions for success, enabling these countries to maintain or improve social achievements even amid the rise of neoliberalism.
