In this century, modern States have been transformed, and this process demands new theoretical understandings and empirical research. This collection of works offers a set of theoretical questions and arguments to rethink the subject of the State in Latin America. The work results from collaboration between Burocracias y los Estados Latinoamericanos [Research Program on Latin American Bureaucracies and States] (PRIBEL), of Simón Bolívar Andean University, Ecuador, and the Global Initiative of the Center for Development and Environment (SUM), of the University of Oslo, Norway.
This book is a collective effort by Pablo Andrade A. (editor), James D. Bowen, Benedicte Bull, Bob Jessop, Juan Pablo Luna, Esteban Nicholls A., Cristina Rojas, and Antulio Rosales.
