Summary:

"The Southern Cone Model "identifies a new and distinctive model of regional capitalist development emerging in the Southern Cone Countries of Latin American-Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay-in spite of differing national political economies. This book defines the contours of this model and assesses its significance for the ways in which we understand contemporary development at both national and transnational levels. It addresses both the relationship between national political economies and the processes of global change and hat between emerging regional political economies and the national systems they accommodate. Using an original blend of international and comparative political economy perspectives, Phillips presents an innovative and in-depth account of the contemporary political economy in the Southern Cone.
