Description

In Ideas and Institutions, Kathryn Sikkink illuminates a key question in recent political economy: What power do ideas wield on the planet of politics and policy? Sikkink traces the effects of one enormously influential set of ideas, developmentalism, on the two largest economies in Latin The united states, Brazil and Argentina.

Introduced under the intellectual leadership of Raúl Prebisch on the U.N. Economic Commission for Latin The united states, developmentalism was once embraced as national policy in many postwar developing economies. Drawing upon extensive archival research and interviews, Sikkink explores the adoption, implementation, and consolidation of the developmentalist model of economic policy in Brazil and Argentina within the 1950s and 1960s, specializing in the governments of Juscelino Kubitschek and Arturo Frondizi, respectively.

In accounting for the initial decision to adopt developmentalist policies in Latin The united states and the persistence of the policy package within the region, she highlights the significance of political and economic ideas, the comparative effects of different national institutions, and the variable ability of political leaders to mobilize resources and make stronger.
