Abstract:
|
One of the critical debates in international political economy in recent years has been over the extent to which states retain autonomy over economic policy in a globalized world of volatile financial flows. For some, the organization of the international economy sharply constrains domestic economic policy choices. For others, states maintain some discretion over domestic policy despite the limits posed by the free flow of finance across borders. In the European context, scholars like Geoffrey Garrett or Carles Boix have argued that domestic policy autonomy exists and in fact reflects partisan differences in the composition of the government. Another critical and well-developed line of argumentation in the European context is the debate over whether partisanship affects performance (primarily through the capacity of the left to discipline its own base). This paper brings these debates to the Latin American context by examining the partisan effects on the design of domestic economic policy and the performance of the economy. It relies primarily on quantitative analysis of economic policy and performance data from the late 1980's (the end of authoritarianism and the rise of neoliberal economic policy in most of the region) to the present. The analysis sheds lights on the persistence of redistributive politics and the limits of state autonomy in Latin America. |
