Introduction to the Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America

Abstract

This series seeks to go beyond a traditional focus on the virtues of intra-regional and inter-regional trade agreements, liberal economic pol-icies, and a narrow security agenda in Latin America. Instead, titles deal with a broad range of topics related to international cooperation, global and regional governance, sustainable development and environmental cooperation, internal displacement, and social inclusion in the context of the Post-2015 Development Agenda—as well as their repercussions for public policy across the region. Moreover, the series principally focuses on new international cooperation dynamics such as South-South and tri-angular cooperation, knowledge sharing as a current practice, and the role of the private sector in financing international cooperation and devel-opment in Latin America. The series also includes topics that fall outside the traditional scope of studying cooperation and development, in this case, (in)security and forced internal displacement, cultural cooperation, and Buen Vivir among indigenous peoples and farmers in Latin America. Finally, this series welcomes titles which explore the tensions and dialogue around how to manage the imbalance between state, markets, and society with a view to re-articulating cooperation and governance dynamics in the 21st century
