Based on a comparative-historical analysis of eight Latin American countries, this book traces the impact of a “critical juncture”: a period of fundamental political reorientation in which new institutions are founded and countries are set on distinct trajectories of change. The analysis focuses on alternative state responses to the newly radicalized working class and organized labor movements that emerged in the initial decades of the 20th century. It examines the shift from state repression to the incorporation of the labor movement, showing how national leaders – including Peron in Argentina, Vargas in Brazil, and Cardenas in Mexico – sought to impose a new institutional framework on working-class politics.The book argues that different strategies of control and mobilization left distinct legacies in terms of political coalitions, party systems, and modes of political conflict. These outcomes in turn influenced patterns of regime change, including the democratic or authoritarian path each country followed through the turbulent 1960s and 1970s. From the perspective of 1990, just prior to the book’s publication, the concluding chapter maps criteria for assessing whether Latin America was, at the end of the twentieth century, entering a new critical juncture.

Shaping the Political Arena: Critical Junctures, the Labor Movement, and Regime Dynamics in Latin America.

▪ Abstract Tourism is relevant to many theoretical and real-world issues in anthropology. The major themes anthropologists have covered in the study of tourism may be divided conceptually into two halves: One half seeks to understand the origins of tourism, and the other reveals tourism's impacts. Even when taken together, these two approaches seem to produce only a partial analysis of tourism. The problem is that most studies aimed at understanding the origins of tourism tend to focus on tourists, and most research concerning the impacts of tourism tend to focus on locals. The goal of future research should be to explore incentives and impacts for both tourists and locals throughout all stages of tourism. This more holistic perspective will be important as we explore the ways in which ecotourism and other alternative forms of tourism can generate social, economic, and environmental benefits for local communities while also creating truly transformative experiences for tourists. Tourism has some aspects o...
