State and Society in Conflict analyzes one of the most volatile regions in Latin America, the Andean states of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. For the last twenty-five years, crises in these five Andean countries have endangered Latin America's democracies and strained their relations with the United States. As these nations struggle to cope with demands from Washington on security policies (emphasizing drugs and terrorism), neoliberal economics, and democratic politics, their resulting domestic travails can be seen in poor economic growth, unequal wealth distribution, mounting social unrest, and escalating political instability.

The contributors to this volume examine the histories, politics, and cultures of the Andean nations, and argue that, due to their shared history and modern circumstances, these countries are suffering a shared crisis of deteriorating relations between state and society that is best understood in regional, not purely national, terms. The results, in some cases, have been semi-authoritarian hybrid regimes that lurch from crisis to crisis, often controlled through force, though clinging to a notion of democracy. The solution to these problems--whether through democratic, authoritarian, peaceful, or violent means--will have profound implications for the region and its future relations with the world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Essential for collections on Latin American politics, problems of democratization, and Third World political development.”
--Choice

“Scholars and students alike will benefit from this uniformly rich set of essays by leading social scientists working on the Andean region. The volume provides both the analytical tools and historical and contemporary perspectives necessary to enable a deeper understanding of the common elements of crisis, significant variations, and potential trajectories in state-society relations across the Andes today.”
--Jonathan Hartlyn, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

“An excellent provocative volume which should have wide appeal.”
—European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies

“The book’s thematic structure provides rich soil for cultivating further scholarship.”
—Canadian Journal of Latin American & Caribbean Studies

From the Back Cover

"Scholars and students alike will benefit from this uniformly rich set of essays by leading social scientists working on the Andean region. The volume provides both the analytical tools and historical and contemporary perspectives necessary to enable a deeper understanding of the common elements of crisis, significant variations, and potential trajectories in state-society relations across the Andes today." --Jonathan Hartlyn, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"An indispensable guide. The analysis, by key scholars of Latin America, is exceptionally lucid, rigorous, and broad. A critical contribution to understanding the chaotic Andes, and along the way, to understanding what happens after the failures of neoliberalism across Latin America." --Paul Gootenberg, Stony Brook University

"This book offers probing analysis of the strains between state and society that have plunged Andean countries into deep crisis since the 1980s. The editors and authors also provide welcome insight through comparison--among the Andean countries, between the Andean region and the Southern Cone, and between political consequences of the 1980s and those of earlier crises, especially the 1930s. The combination of case study and comparison is particularly illuminating." --Steve J. Stern, University of Wisconsin-Madison
