A Renewed Pivot in International Politics? Latin American Politics in a Turbulent World Order

Martedì 21 aprile, ore 17.30:
in ASERI, Via San Vittore 18, MILANO

Latin America has two amazing records: socially, it is the most unequal region in the world; geopolitically, it is the most stable. Social inequalities coexist with peaceful borders. How is it possible? This lecture will deal with the factors that have combined to produce such a hybrid result, namely low state capacity (yet enduring stateness), low productivity markets (yet structurally capitalist), and low democratic quality (yet resilient democracies).
