Enter Economism, Exit Politics, Experts, Economic Policy and the Damage To Democracy

About the Author Teivo Teivainen is Adjunct Professor of Development Studies at the University of Helsinki where he also lectures in Latin American Studies and Political Science. Product Description Teivo Teivainen explores the redefinition of the boundaries of the economic and the political spheres. In examining how and to what extent it is taking place, he takes the case of the periodic Latin American debt crisis in the 20th Century, and more specifically, the illuminating example of Peru, particularly the failed attempt by President García to resist this new economism and the subsequent volte-face by his successor, President Fujimori. Review "This book should be of interest to anyone wanting to better understand the political impacts of globalization..."--Theresa Morris, Contemporary Sociology"An ambitious and impressive book that makes an important contribution to our knowledge of Peru and to larger theoretical debates on neoliberalism in Latin America." --Maxwell A. Cameron, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of British Columbia"An excellent case study, a great book." --Ulrich Beck, Professor of Sociology, University of Munich
